The Doctor Who 2014/15 Thread
August 23rd, with a "Feature Length episode" (a term that's causing all sorts of fun confusion from Americans in the TrekBBS thread who don't realise than in British TV that just means "Twice as long as normal" and as such are trying desperately to work out the average formal length of a proper theatrical film) in a episode about "Jack the Ripper".
Well, I suppose it had to happen sooner or later (though Vastra's first episode and the inverted commas at least suggest they're doing something different with it).
The first teaser trailer:
My watching of Poirot has had episodes in the last week with an insanely young looking Capaldi and Eccleston in them, the later was surprising as mentally he's one of those actors I think of as never really changing.

It'll be a red hot, explosive episode.
And by remembering frozen food from the 1970's you're showing your age Granddad.

Spotted the script leaks news over lunch, and semi-spoiler-free write up here:

The first episode is out there as well, I think part of the problem being it's getting screenings all over the world the best part of a month before it's TV broadcast meaning it's out there and ready to fall into sneaky hands a lot earlier than normal.
In terms of one of the long established but oft-ignored aspects of the show this season is going to be acknowledging, my bet would be on:

SPOILER! (select to read)Susan. After all, he looks like a Granddad again now...

Stupid question: Did they ever explained where Vastra, her wife, and that funny alien warrior came from or was their backstories explained in other media (digital shorts, audio adventures, novels, or comics)?inflatable dalek wrote:Well, I suppose it had to happen sooner or later (though Vastra's first episode and the inverted commas at least suggest they're doing something different with it).

Yeah, Vastra's backstory was explained away (i think) during 'A Good Man Goes To War' and some other lines of dialogue. Basically, Vastra woke up in Victorian London or something, set herself up as a private investigator and met Jenny along the way. They acquired Strax at Demon's Run after he was apparently killed - an extra on the Season 7 boxset that was available online has an amusing little short where Vastra goes over to Strax and bascially tells him to get up as he's not dead

Um...... The only thing I've seen that even compares to that is the first episode of the Super Sentai attempt at doing Spider Man.

So....... Deep Breath......
I liked the way they handled the Doctor's post-regeneration whimmy-whams.
And how Strax survives in Victorian London continues to astound me.

Once his personality finishes being stabilized, we'll have a better idea.
I did like the realization of his accent. And his eyebrows. He's got potential to be a lot of fun.
I also liked the undercurrent of fear. New life cycle, new problems, old companion wondering what the hell just happened.
