Waaaaait... online game?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8607925.stm

hadn't noticed the logo - like it... nod to the Telos logo

And while we are at it, what's going on with the shed in Amy Pond's garden? It was destroyed but rebuilt itself to 'look like it was 12 years old'. Am I missing or not getting something?

erm... it was 12 years later... the Doctor only thought a couple of hours had passed...

Unfortunatly I so far have been unable to get over Matt Smith's face and lack of abillity to show emotion with it.

The writing was great, the girl playing the assistant is fantastic, cute but also a very good actress, maybe a little too much CGI but that's kinda normal when theres an alien like that in the show.

The Doctor though, it just kept coming back to him. The lines were good but I just didn't feel or see the emotion from the actor in his bodylanguage or facial expressions.

To me he just seemed almost permenantly locked into :-I.

I think I'll probably watch it cause I want to see the Assistant's Story, but unless Smith improves he'll be an annoyance to struggle against for me.

Really? I thought he nailed it!

He had me after "it must be one 'ell of a scary crack in your wall."

It's only the first episode - and there was a lot to do - but I'm pretty hopeful.

I agree. I mean Eccleston didn't have any real range of emotion either and he grew on me.

I especially like his "Is this planet protected?" speech to the Attraxi at the end

"Basically.....run."

Hmm, not really agreeing on the Ecclestone comment though, I really, really liked him as the Doctor, and he had both that sad face he usually uses, the bright smile where you think his ears will start flapping and the most intense show of emotion (I believe so) is when he encounters teh Dalek in Utah, and spit and all flies from his mouth when shooting into a rage

He was an ace Doctor!

Is the knackered old Cyberman in the trailer wearing this logo, or the usual one?

The Doctor Who forums have been alive with the sound of people with far too much time on their hands complaining that the cybermen in the trailer are new, ie parallel Earth 'Cybusmen', rather than old-school Who-continuity cybermen (despite the fact that the old cybermen had terrible continuity). But then they've been getting themselves excited about the fact that the trailer implies that the action takes place in some sort of 'tomb'. And since Matt Smith is channelling Patrick Troughton, it's been all 'Oh, Tomb of the Cybermen'! But as to whether it's Telos, Mondas or Billie Piper's alternate workd, frankly I couldn't give tuppence!

There are a lot of geeks in the gaming word, but the online Who community is scarily insane at times.

Anyone who would put a cornish pastie on their head in order to attend a convention is to be avoided at all costs lol
