fantastic episode. it is about time as well - season 3 was piss poor and the 2006 xmas special sucked. but i was massively impressed by this episode. |

i didn't think it was all that, mainly because the doctor had no chemistry (rather, it wasn't developed well with her poor side of the script) with kylie. |

exactly! in fact this is one of the least interesting episodes in the new series, just a hodgepodge of stale ideas and generic characters. i liked the historian though, only character that wasn't a two dimensional cutout. but ss a forgettable appetizer for season 4 it worked i suppose... |

for me one of the least interesting episodes so far, still good though and great to see so many name actors in it. |

i don't know if it's because it's been a while, or too high expectations, or me being spoiled by other series. but this special was a bad disappointment. it was totally like a normal episode but worse. i was ashamed for talking people into coming watch it with me. |

well, the episode runtime is 72min (this nfo says 70 btw) so that gives mms a bitrate around 1030 vs 1200kbps but mean while both from a pdtv source and considering the pre time, i would definitively say they segmented this (which lowers quality). personally i\'m just getting neither and downloading the 600mb x264 \"hq edition\" (ak hr.pdtv) from mm which is much better quality then the xvid even when its at bigger sizes (550mb hq edition beated a 700mb xvid (past no quality increase point) for 60min christmas special) |

the mm xvid rip is just about the same as this one. i can't tell the difference, anyways, and the res is the same. the x264 version, as usual is excellent, and will be the reference encode for my collection. |

mad martha's (mm) rips are the best! definitely worth the wait for the higher encoding, but her basic rips are still top notch every time! mm is the "axxo" of "doctor who" and "torchwood" (and all related shows)! |

a few cheezy parts, but other than that quite brilliant. i never caught on to the whole allon-s thing, but had a hell of a time researching it. now i must go back and watch the army of ghosts episode that introduced it. |

yeh, there was hinting towards it, since i had no clue about it. it's easy to get caught up in the gossip with others that have and forget that some people have not seen/heard anything about it. so, are you saying we don't see daleks in this episode, afterall? *a hint about the story.* so we see a dalek prop? *a hint about the story.* it's like saying "the best part was what k9 said about rose being dead, at the end!" meh... i've now seen the ep, thought it was pretty good, i enjoy this for the cheese it's known for. and since it's not been a month since the ep aired, i can't elaborate (you see, i read the rules here). but one thing, since you mention it.. google kylie with google images (safe search off). damn shes got the best arse.. (danni's not too shabby either. for a skanky pretty minogue) |

and here, we can see the invasive and perplexing gossip-mouse, away from his native environment. his red fur shimmering with details, it's hard not to understand what he's thinking. he's after cheese, and will do anything to obtain it and then gossip about it. incorrigible and determined, he will reveal anything as long as it feeds his desire to gossip, as this what they feed upon in their own natural environment. one of natures more intriguing creatures, the gossip-mouse, with it's stubby fingers from extensive typing, bulging eyes to ensure every detail is always noticed, and most importantly, an incorrigible desire to gossip amongst other gossip-mice, is a marvelous creature to behold. yet unfortunately, they remain a pest outside of their natural environment, as they spreads gossip wherever they go, and can quite literally infect others, who either die from acute monitor punching, or, sadly, embrace the same nature as the gossip-mouse and lead on to infect others. and so, the gossip-mouse is hunted, and at some points to near extinction; but as prolific and enduring as they are, they swarm the internet nesting in any warm forum they find, laying their eggs and spreading gossip. a true plague. |
