Discussion of Episode 3.02 "The Shakespeare Code" Aired 4/7/07 (BBC1-UK)

[N4H]

Doctor Who and new companion Martha Jones meet Shakespeare - and there's witches.

Soon at the hour of WovenWords we will rise again, and this fleeting earth will perish
~Lilith the witch

But wait...not so fast Lilith. Then we hear the Who theme. The TARDIS is tumbling through space coming for you witch lady. Love this year's credit sequence BTW. Best so far.

Speaking of "best so far", this is another one of those eps that makes you want to say that. Apparently it's written by the guy who writes the Doctor Who books. Gotta pick one of those up.

And haha Harry Potter, "Expelliamus!" I laughed out loud.

Next week's looks like another one of those best so fars. The Face of Bo, more New New York, and futuristic cat people. I can hardly wait.

Neither can i! the trailer was great!: "you've got to let her go!"
"Martha!"

I wanna hear the face of Boe's words! Rather than believe what todays Star said! which i wont go there.


Anyway good episode, all i wanna say now is Badaboomba!


Loved the bard joke!
I did notice like in Tooth and Claw martha does the accent, and he's going no don't...
and Rose again, well ok he didn't realise Martha's feelings are on the phwoar side, i mean i cannot blame her, but he is still getting over Rose, it was abit like a new boyfriend mentioning an ex, at the wrong time,I know basically, he was saying "moments like this i miss Rose etc..", but he should know she doesn't want to be compared to her.

Besides that, interesting theory on how words have power, and how he explains witchcraft.

great bit-"Voodoo doll dna replication module" or something like that!

What made go awww sweet was "That name keeps me fighting!" when Rose was used to try and hurt him emotionally. Awww Bless!
Reminded me of when Angel had Buffy's name to torment him with...Wonder if there was a Joss influence here, as in Bangel ship, guy falls for girl he can't be with etc, and now guy is trying to get over girl, because of this etc?

Superb ep! Dean Lennox Kelly and Cristina Cole were excellent guest stars and I'm really taking a shine to Martha. A well put together ep...great CGI and extremely funny. It just keeps getting better.
