Comments on: Radio Free Skaro #174 – The Beginning of The End of Time http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2009/12/27/radio-free-skaro-174-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=radio-free-skaro-174-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-time Quite possibly the most popular, most prolific and charmingly irreverent (but never irrelevant) Doctor Who podcast around.

I've watched it twice now ... and fast forwarded through whole sections of it (mostly the silver cloak stuff). But there was sooo much that wasn't needed. The fondling by June Whitfield, the look on the bus driver's face when seeing DT, the creepy father/daughter thing ... anything with Donna in it. Two things I noticed though. First is the similarity between the pearls and earrings Donna's mother wore ... and the mysterious white woman (!!). [Also the cut of the lapels on White Woman's jacket ... rather Timelordy(??)]. And the other steal from other genres ... the bit where the Master screams at the Doctor and bounces off into the wilderness. THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!! It is ... its the sodding INCREDIBLE HULK!! Oh and he DOESN'T need to use a key ... all he has to do is click his flamin' fingers. And shagging Good Queen Bess ... bit unsavoury of what??? Warrghhh ... My god the next bit has got to be flaamin' good for me to stop me from hunting RTD down and stabbing him with sharp pointy sticks frequently and in a time-locked bubble universe forever and ever and ever. Here's to the Moffat era ... its got to be better. Pleaasee its got to be better ... Harvey P, Christchurch, NZ ps and i'm really really bored of DT being emotional ... he's becoming a bit of a wet flannel really. pps did i mention that Donna is really really crap?? Waaaarghhh ... ppps and the music/noise ... please please someone please stop Murray Gold ... pleeease ... pppps NZ is far worse than Australia for tv/broadband/music/books/art etc Wow … as much as I hate to say this, I agreed with everything you said (having just viewed it on NZ television).

But she said the whole President Obama bit was a must b/c you had to have the Master jumping up and down in a dress clapping to make the change worth it! I loved the cafe scene... and think it made of for what I disliked in the rest of it. Having spent the day + watching most of the BBC America marathon - DT had some really great shows and yes RTD could do some really good ones too. Not classic WHO - But really really good WHO....

We really should be more up on Australian news and such, but, as Canadians, we're just following Article 20 of the Charter of the Commonwealth: "Ignore Australia and all her demands and developments." No wonder you guys keep wanting to leave... Seriously, though - we really should have read the entire three lines in this article to get the full story. Whoops.... http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/12/torchwood-in-australia.html Sorry, Glenn.

I've always loved Earthshock for instance. Thanks for the backup about Caves though! As to the GB forums, I've avoided the OG/GB forums for a very long time but when I did bother with an account I only ever used it to vote on new episode rating polls and was often dumbfounded (to borrow your word) at how highly some of the lesser episodes fared. Last of the Time Lords is a wonderful example. @Tony: I'll admit I disliked it less the second go around but it's still all so much nonsense IMO. I'm still holding out hope for Friday though! @Al: I would definitely have to agree that Enlightenment is a contender for Davison’s best story, though there are some other great ones.

Ahem. As a Scientist I can say that! For a considered review, one unfuelled by far too much chocolate and cheap cider, a review by Scientists, you should check out the not-being-plugged-shamlessly-oh-no-not-at-all Flashing Blade Podcast. Now you three, go sit in a corner and think about what it is that it is that you've done. :P I loved it so ya boo sucks to you, pah!

Ahem.
