A review from the Guide to Doctor Who and its associated spin-offs, including Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
The BBC has also confirmed that this years series will be just 5 episodes long with Jenna joining the show in the Xmas special.... *grits teeth*
Talk has therefore turned towards Gillans exit which I won't spoiler as its literally everywhere:
Moffat: "Amy and Rory will leave in the fifth episode that goes out, and it will be a final encounter with the Weeping Angels, and not everybody gets out alive - and I mean it this time!"..... *vein sticks out of forehead and neck with steam out of ears*
Moffat also says there'll be no 2-parters this time.
The reason the episodes run annoys me so much is that the show has far too much of a history since its revival of being shunted, chopped and relocated and its absolutely crap. Every time they do it it seems to be for the showrunners benefit and completely ruins the narrative flow just like Series 6 suffered last year. Its desperately a concept that they need to abandon asap. Gillan wise, it's not so much her exit that bothers me more the tired retread of having the Angels appear for the 4th series in a row. The first time they were brilliant but their success really seems to have gone to Moffatt's head, the second appearance killing all of their appeal and the third being a lame cameo. Now we get yet another appearance, all the more ironic considering Moffatt quite publicly shelved having Dalek episodes after Series 5 because he believed overuse ruined appeal.
The only reprieve, and quite a thankful one is that there will be 8 more episodes in 2013 with Smith and Jenna with Moffat adding: "Oh, there'll be more episodes than just those eight, but these are the ones we're making right now." Not doing more than that would have been a massive waste of the 50th Anniversary.
Jenna discusses getting the role. She looks better in motion than in pics...hmm...
According to Dark Horizons, rumour is spreading that her character isn't human...Last edited by Neon Ignition; 22-03-2012, 06:08.
