Spoiler Speculation on Season 3

[Captain B]

Did anyone else hear
Ms Jones ask the Doctor "Do you have a brother?"
To which he replied something like "no not anymore"
Is this a new line of time lords waiting to pop up.
Also the doctor appeared to be quite happy to pick up a new companion so soon after losing Rose, or is he meant to have a number of adventures on his own before returning to Earth.
Or is the Doctor as fickle as the viewers at home?

You can't really say that he seemed quite happy to pick up a new companion. You can tell that he's yearning for one (well, Rose, really), but he doesn't want to jump right in - he tells Martha that she can have ONE trip (he emphasised that quite heavily), as a "thank you". As the series progresses we'll see why he keeps Martha on.

Having watched the trailer at the BBC's website, some of the episodes are now identifiable... though it doesn't help except raise the interest/excitement...


Smith and Jones - obviously
The Shakespeare Code - obviously
Gridlock - might have been seen in DW Confidential: all the flying cars (very "Fifth Element" or Star Wars prequels)
Daleks in Manhattan - the 1920s Broadway stuff and campsites?
Evolution of the Daleks - or as above
The Lazarus Experiment - the regeneration medical Dr (Lazlabs)
42
Human Nature
The Family of Blood - they name themselves...
Blink
Utopia - presumably the episode with Derek Jacobi saying "utopia" - could this be the start of a three parter end of season finale?
The Sound of Drums }
Last of the Time Lords }implicitly the episodes featuring Saxon

At least one features space-suits, possibly one of the ones not covered above. There's also the scarecrow men and the human spider thing. And in which one does Martha watch footage of the Doctor getting married - perhaps the one where he says "I'm not the Doctor" - a clone, duplicate, brother, space/time-fractured twin?

[Lenny]

Hmmm... about your last point - there was the throw-away comment by the Doctor in Smith and Jones when he said "I don't have a brother. At least, not anymore".

Maybe we will finally learn some more about the Time War?

Well, it theoretically destroyed the Daleks - but they survived. It theoretically destroyed the Time Lords, but at least the Doctor survived. The whole nature of time and time travel, as used by both Time Lords and Daleks, is contrary to absolute destruction so who knows who actually survived...

My money is still firmly on the Master being the other survior of the Time War. The Lazurus links from the Saxon website make me think Time Lord technology being used to regenerate individuals (Many years ago it was revealed that the Time lords had developed an artifical device to allow a lesser species to regenerate, it all went pear shaped and the Time Lords started a policy of non intervention from then on. While it was the Tom Baker era other things have carried over)

On a seperate note next weeks is drawing on 30's horror movies for insparation I believe, so think mad scientist's monster's and a bit perhaps a dance routine?

Anyone seen the cover of the radio times? Geesh talk abot a spoiler!

[HoopyFrood]

Just went looking for this week's Radio Times on the internet after you mentioned it; that certainly is a spolier! I didn't even know anything about it!
But wow, it is freaky looking! Definitely looking foward to next week's episode now.

After reading that I had to also:

[HoopyFrood]

That would've been quite a shock when watching next week's episode, but now I know it's coming!
Damn you Radio Times!
Nay...damn you, Ice Fyre!

[Dave]

Any idea how the individual in question was created?

Or why?

If the originals were the ultimate mutated form of the Kaled species placed inside their own life-supporting travelling machines, isn't anything else less than perfect? Some Daleks (the Renegrade Daleks) even saw Davros as less than perfect.

There's an online version of the image at Radio Times | Magazine under "Cover story"

(I don't mind spoilers too much, so it's prompted me to buy a copy, which I don't normally...)

Admit it, you wanted the free Doctor Who stickers!

[HoopyFrood]

Free stickers!!

Right, I'm going to buy a copy tomorrow...!

[Lenny]

I can't help but feel that episode 11: Utopia (I think it's that one), will have something to do with Gallifrey.

---

And I'm starting to think that this series key word is actually the same as he first Torchwood series - anything about Darkness.

If I remember rightly, each episode has had a seemingly throwaway comment about the dark or the darkness built into it.

Last night's (Dalek's in Manhattan), if anyone missed it, could have been the scene where the Dalek and Diagras (was he called Diagras?) were stood on the floor where Diagras' office was, and the Dalek says "You humans are all afraid of the Dark".
