    Won't say any more about it to prevent spoilers for the rest of you.

    Oh wait. I've got to give something away. You will never look at a Jammy Dodger biscuit the same way again.

    He doesn't NEED one, he IS one.

    Regardless, I think the gun was a tool, not being used as a GUN per se.

    We will see if I am right.
    I agree, that's how THAT Doctor thought, but we all know each Doctor is different to some degree. Heck, even the last Doctor considered using a gun for killing someone.

    I do agree though that it will more than likely be used in the same way the last Doctor used it in the end, as you put it, as a tool.

    Well I'm hopeful that I didn't give any spoilers away. Just to be sure, I have edited my post - you may want to edit the quote, and my apologies if I have spoiled anything critical for you.

    The latest episode (just aired on BBC one, not the one that just came out in the US) was ok, but had far too many plot holes for my taste. I still enjoyed it, and I can overlook the issues, but wasn't the same quality that some have been.

    urk. Zygon, you may want to just edit that out of politeness. As has already been mentioned, there are US viewers who don't want any spoilers. I think their definition of spoiler may be more strict than yours or mine, but regardless of where the dividing line is (and I suspect its the wrong side of the post you just made though it seems innocent enough to me!), if spoilers ruin their Dr Who experience, then as fans I think we ought to respect that.

    So Far, I'm not impressed... Both actors are too young... The Doctor is over 900 years old, and this kid is playing him... seems too teenie bopperish ATM... The first episode was a bit more childish and while clearly trying to mimic a very successful delivery of a David Tennent Episode, The opening scenes of his food/taste issues really turned me off... And I really don't like some of the changes to the Tardis.

    Now I was glad to see that Professor River Song is coming back for a couple episodes... I was wondering if the would work her back into the mix.... I really loved the understory started in "Silence in the Library"

    Maybe River Song will bring that age and maturity that seemed lacking in the first episode. Who knows, maybe Matt Smith will grow into the part... I thought very similar thoughts when David Tennant first took over....

    We will see if I am right.
    For anyone who thinks the Doctor is a pacifist watch " Genesis of the Daleks " for the classic, " Do I have the right " scene. Or Warriors Deep for the marvelous " there should have been anothe way, " ending.

    Even with each regenration personality "quirk", He really never condoned violence. He used it himself, if came down to them and the universe in general. Heck, he killed his entire planet off (well that's how I read Those last movies) to protect the universe as a whole.

    He gets HIS hands dirty so we don't.

    But do remember, this is an ever evolving character. In the early 1960's social behavior was different than 2005. The time change is shown as the Doctor "matures"


    Genesis of the Daleks-GREAT Tom Baker Speech- but at the end, he had a fall back plan, the other TimeLords. Now it is just HIM. THe choices he makes now are drawn in cement rather than sand.

    David's Doctor showed him going from forgetting who he was to remembering what he was, and the responsiblity that came with such power. THe final scenes of "waters of Mars" graphically illustrate that. THe Pathos at the end was wonderful. THe scripts sucked but David did tear it up and recentered the Doctor for the next man.

    He has come along way from being a grumpy (and stuffy) first Regen who stole a broken down TARDIS with his granddaughter.

    Interesting points

    But In genesis the doc had no fall back plan he is content to see the total destruction of the daleks turned into the partial delay of their evil galaxy invading ways by trapping them in the remains of the kaled dome.

    As for the Doctor mnaturing I always look on the Sixth Doctor as the most immature Doctor of all , OK he never really had chance to develop due to BBC politics but I feel he was a step back on the maturity front.

    Never thought of the first doc as stuffy, this is the nightclub going, cyberman home planet destroying, aztec charming grandfather figure. He takes the mickey out of his comapnions getting their names wrong and pointing out their mistakes. The stuffy doc for me was Doc seven with his mysterious " time's champion " image.

    As for choices in cement rather than sand all I can say is what a great descriptive line which would make a great tag line for the current series !

    Side question... Who is the woman who was helping him out through the time rift in The End of Time?

    She seemed to be about saving the Doctor, not his life, but him. And when he saw her face, it set him on the right path, reminded him of who he was.

    My first thought was daughter, but mother, wife, daughter, or granddaughter are all possibilities.

    What do other think?

    Most likely mother or wife. I suspect that we will find out eventually especially with that whole scene with the master at the end...

    Me, My first thought was mother.... I can't see any other possibilities that make sense... but then again, this is the Doctor....

    And speaking of daughters, what happened to the one he got from that cloning machine? Granted, he thinks she is dead, as she didn't regenerate until after he left... but last you see of her, she is blasting off into space... (unless I missed an episode...) High time the brought her back too...

    Anyone else find John Simms "Master" to be perfect? In the End of Time, it was to quote the Doctor, Brilliant. I'm still struck at how well he nailed that script...

    Mr Simm was indeed " brilliant, " and won a place in my heart with his fine performance but Roger Delgado will always be the definitive Master to me.
