Hmm. Ripping himself off a bit isn't he? Just the catch phrase of Big Bang matched with the gimmick of time crashed. Not badly done but I hope we get some new ideas in the new series.

Is it just me or is the new Doctor Who more sexualness in it then the original?

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
A fun little short. Although, I groaned when I saw the TARDIS in the TARDIS. Mostly because I just knew it was gonna lead to "Yo dawg, I heard you like time and space, so I put a TARDIS in yo TARDIS so you can travel through time and space while you travel through space and time" memes.

Only when the Master's Tardis materialised around a police box and the Doctor's Tardis mistakenly materialised around both of them in Logopolis. It's a bit different from the Doctor's Tardis materialising inside itself.Ugolino wrote:TARDIS in a TARDIS? It's happened before.

Also "The Time Monster" —the Doctor materialised his TARDIS within the Master's and the two became dimensionally interlocked. The Master also had a spare TARDIS within the one disguised as a Melkur in "The Keeper Of Traken". But this is the first time a TARDIS has materialised in a past version of itself.Captain Seafort wrote:Only when the Master's TARDIS materialised around a police box and the Doctor's TARDIS mistakenly materialised around both of them in Logopolis.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
Self-indulgent, harmless guff and the TARDIS vanishing up itself was fitting for the tone of this segment, but I liked the concept of the TARDIS within the TARDIS and how it was presented. I just love how Rory's pervy little mind works.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
In fact Chuck does Trek reviews every week, Saturdays are trek reviews. Other stuff (B5/Red Dwarf/Doctor Who) all come out midweek. He's not stopped Trek reviews for other series at all.Serafina wrote:How about looking first? Chuck just gave us one.Purple wrote:When is he going to do another Star Trek one?

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
If nothing else for the coming season, I do hope they find a different composer. I am now officially sick of Murray Gold and his utter inability to even anymore recognise the concept of subtlety, much less apply it to his musical stylings.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
The bombastic music of Murray Gold in Season Five seems to have degraded down to a more limited number of music cues in relation to previous seasons (it all now sounds like 'Dum-Dum-daaa-dum-dum-duuum!' to me) but at the same time we've long moved on past the Radiophonic Workshop, it likely wouldn't go down well with most audiences if used too much anyway, and I don't want a repeat of something similar to Ron Jones getting shitcanned from TNG (where after that most of the music got too restrained and often veered into orchastratural Pablum).
I found the CiN special with the 5th Doctor vastly superior.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
So: what would you do with two Amy Ponds?
I have to say, immediate consequences of time travel like this (paradox avoidance, that is) are only rarely brought up in the show, and I always love seeing them. Watching them keep the threads from untangling is just great.
...also, the dialogue had me chuckling a good bit of the time. Not as funny as the Rowan Atkinson one, but very well-put together, I think.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
I wouldn't quite call it "veered" when it was precisely what the executive producer demanded. It's not like Dennis McCarthy wanted to do sonic wallpaper; he was just more readily compliant than Ron Jones. I mean shit, Rick Berman got testy when McCarthy just hinted at the old Picard theme.Big Orange wrote:and I don't want a repeat of something similar to Ron Jones getting shitcanned from TNG (where after that most of the music got too restrained and often veered into orchastratural Pablum).
I think it's entirely possible to rein someone in without destroying everything that's interesting about their work.

Re: Doctor Who Comic Relief 2011: Space & Time
Anyway this was just a very short segment and I didn't find the music especially intrusive and annoying, however the music volume/mixing can be quite bad on The Sarah Jane Adventures. Judging by the eerie, ambient soundtrack for Blink, Murray Gold can be reigned in and I doubt the music will get intentionally bland if Gold leaves (and he's been part of the production crew for long enough).
Anway, here's a eye popping trailer for Season 6 (it looks better than Season 5) and a horror/monster video by Babelcolour.
