WTF! Moments...

1) The TARDIS Nuff said. There would be a rude words fest but i wont.

2) That SONG! I knew it was from that song!

LOL moments THAT SONG.

Great stuff....

John Simms has thus far proven himself to be the perfect 'Master' for Tennants 'Doctor'.
I loved this episode. It was brilliant.
The 'Gas' scene was perfect. The Final moments were brilliant. The whole 'Master' on Earth for 18 months and the 'Doctor' not noticing was magnificent.

So many great moments and it got better last week. I have a real world friend(2 actually) that like Doctor Who.

What was the name of that dance song used at the end?
I REALLY want a copy of that.

Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders

It contains the Lyrics; Here it comes the sound of drums , here come the drums, here come the drums... Obvioulsy....

OK I'm happy now. This one came with some rationale. The Master can regenerate again, because the Time Lords set him up for it. Jack is obsessed with the doctor like a lovesick puppy, because that's what he is. He's in love with the Doctor. "You too, hey?", he says to Martha.

There's still the mystery of the Toclafane to solve. Apparently to solve it would break both the Doctor's hearts, so I naturally, immediately thought of Rose. Then I thought, no, they sound a bit like the Gelth from Unquiet dead. "Help us. Pity the Gelth".

So I did a search. According to TV.com Zoe Thorn who did the voice of the Gelth also did the voice of the spheres for the Toclafane.

I also tried an anagram search on Toclafane, but the closest I could come to something which sounded like it might have significance was "a felon cat".

Loved the trailer for next week's.

See, I don't think the Gelth would break his heart(S).

OK, last year I was spot on when I made suggestions for the finale so i'm about to piss all over that(get it wrong).

See, in my mind it has to be something huge, almost monumental that would be the 'Toclafane', something so devastating it will shake the core of the Doctor, with maybe some spillage into the Christmas Special(Kylie Minogue is in that!!!!).

I'm seeing something that goes back to the Time Lords themselves.
The connection of The Doctor and The Master is their heritage so I kinda think and hope its something to do with them.

I would love it to be a choice the Doctor has to make - Humanity or The Time Lords.

Martha is kicking up a gear(from the Trailer). I'm genuinely impressed by her.

Jack, well of course he loves the Doctor, but i'm sure he fancied Ecclestons DR more than Tennants - He likes it rough I imagine...not that I imagine it much.

I can't wait for next week.

Here's one that connects all the dots, but I really doubt it's the way they'll go.

We last saw The Axons = Saxon, or Axos stuck in a time time loop = possible access to the vortex. Axos is a single organism but can convert into multiple parts = spheres. It expressed a desire to merge with the TARDIS = equals heartbreak for the Doctor.

And yeah, Martha in commando gear. How cool is that? :thumbsup:

[Mr Pointy]

Excellent ep. John Simm was brilliant as the Master, as I knew he would be.

So it seems that the Master was barking bonkers mental all along instead of just plain evil. I can't wait for next week when it looks like Martha gets to kick some arse :)

I think Al could be right because judging from the spoilery press release
by the BBC ( Idiots, they would wouldn't they!)
It was said it was gonna be heart rending! It was heart rending watching what the Master did to the TARDIS it is abit like someone invading you personally.For the Dr i would imagine.
