Sounds good. Been too long since we've had a two-part finale.
And here's the synopsis for Death In Heaven. No huge revelations but I'll spoiler it anyway:

The Caretaker is amazing too if you like episodes focused on the characters and not the monster/alien.

New little clip for Forest of the night
I'm digging the music at the end. I'm wondering if THAT will be part of the 12th's doctor theme ? We haven't had a good listen to his theme yet

This is a fallacy. There is already a sub-optimal situation where there ARE bad Doctor Who episodes written by males. Therefore, saying "I do not care who/what gender they are as long as the scripts are awesome" is coming from a standpoint that assumes that there is a quality-based selection going which unfortunately only left males standing.
That is the exact same fallacy as the "not enough female CEO's", where the EXACT SAME argument is being made.
The problem is: with losing female writers to circumstances, scheduling and whatever reasons, we ARE missing out on quality content. So yeah, you should totally care about having more female writers in Who.
Pretty sure this is his theme: http://youtu.be/cBQA3u0td2w It's been in pretty much all the episodes at least. Flatline was the first episode I properly noticed it in, as in it just wasn't background music.

I think we have. The last two episodes have definitely played it more openly & cleanly in the audio mix

I can't help but feel that tomorrow's episode is one of the random one liners that Moffat wanted turning into an episode.
'Forest in London - Go'
Expectations are on the floor low so anything better than that will be decent for me.

It seems like it. "What if London turned into a forest and Danny was there!? It will be so cool!"

We've heard it plenty, it's just that it's a bit darker and less suitable for action scenes than I Am The Doctor was.
It's been used really effectively, though- its use in the beach scene in Kill The Moon was fantastic.
Frank Cottrell-Boyce came in with this idea years ago.
I think people are significantly underestimating this one, honestly. FCB has turned out works of genius in the past.

Radio Times poster for In The Forest Of The Night.
We should play a game where we'll see who can come up with the random scenario for a Who story.
I'll go first.
Snow in the Sahara
Civilization on a star
Sasquatch on a boat
Yeah those would all be terrible.
Fidelis Hodie
Infidelis Cras
. . but that actually sounds cool . . haha
Dinosaurs on a spaceship is already the most ridiculous one. Surprisingly, it turned out ok.
they sorta not quite but maybe did something about that with the old “42" episode.
not a focus on the “civilization” on a star, but just having sentient life in a star.
Honestly, I'd say Mummy on the Orient Express is easily as ridiculous as Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, if not more.

If someone is still playing Doctor Who legacy the fourth doctor is finally available using this code 2476-5993-9566-8387 through the weekend.
Tom Baker was the last doctor to be included so all the doctors are now in the game includind the war doctor.
I thankfully, even if I dont play the game much anymore, was waiting for any new doctor to release to put their codes, so its good to finally have everyone.

This is a cross between Flatland and the Doctor's wife.
Makes me think of the 8th Doctor audio adventure Prisoner of the Sun. That was really awesome.

Julius Caesar vs aliens disguised as rainbows.
Just finished my rewatch up until the end of Smith's time!
Rough top ten in order would be:
Midnight
The Family Of Blood
The Waters Of Mars
Listen
The Doctor Dances
The Girl Who Waited
The Impossible Planet
The Satan Pit
The Day Of The Doctor
The Parting Of The Ways
In terms of Doctors: Capaldi > Smith > Ecclestone > Tennant
Donna > Amy > Clara > Rory > Rose > Martha

Waters of Mars and Family of blood are so damn good.
I'm still waiting for the day we'll get new episodes as good as these with capaldi, how glorious it would be

Irrational hatred of Gridlock, the GOAT. smh
Pretty solid rankings otherwise.

I have never understood the fandom's like of Gridlock. It is one of the most mediocre episodes I can think of. It neither entertained nor disgusted me, it was just bland as bland can be.

Boo. BOOOOOOOOOO
I never pretended that my deep, abiding love of Gridlock was rational. I just love everything about it- the world-building, the bonkers imagination, the scope, the implications, Ardal O'Hanlon as a cat man, the elderly lesbians, the ending, the Macra.... Fuck, I just love it. Would absolutely love another episode exploring that world.
This guy gets it. I like you, Wilbur.

I think Gridlock is the absolute clearest fault-line in the NuWho community. For almost every group there is some Venn diagram in which they share at least one other opinion, but my experience there is no single Moffat-fan who likes Gridlock and no single Davies-fan who dislikes it. It's like the pH test of Whovians.

I honestly have to put Smith last. He often felt like the most indulgent aspects of the Doctor rolled in one. Hell it took them like two series' to begin approaching the kind of character work they're managing with Capaldi in like seven episodes

Mrs Mouse, Davies fan also, liked it, thought it was fun. I suppose I did too, but the stupid was strong in it.

I liked Gridlock ok actually, and pretty much disliked everything about RTD Who except the characters. I generally prefer Moffat's take on the show, except he's reached the point of self indulgent pap too, only in the other direction.
