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?

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.

Assuming they couldn't fix the problem. How long could they sustain themselves in the Tardis? Does it have enough food for lifetimes?

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.

I hope we do too. I wasn't impressed at all by the Christmas Special and hope we get something different in the next series.

When is he going to do another Star Trek one? I am sick of him only doing the doctor.

Mods or someone please delete this post. It is late and I confused this with one of the usual reviews that the guy chuck does.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

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.

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. :D

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.

Rory’s pervy little mind?

This is Amy Pond we’re talking about here. I really do think that any heterosexual male or lesbian female would’ve had the exact same idea that Rory did.

I know I did. :D

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.

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.

So: what would you do with two Amy Ponds? :D

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.

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.

I think it's entirely possible to rein someone in without destroying everything that's interesting about their work.

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.
