Well I think sometimes they get it spot on....i mean even though I haven't seen this DVD....I'd say their review seems spot on.....just by looking at the cover!!!!

But the issue with that is it isn't conterversail...while the other little thing is....after all its that little remark that had made some people want to go la la la la, with their fingers stuck in their ears while wtaching that bit

Nope a very thin line between both.....after all in that particular thread...it was mainly the OP who got it from the rest of the posters.....but lets just stick to tomato, tomahto to stop this thread from going off topic....

Well in all fairness...I haven't been a Doctor Who fan untill 2005....so in a way, I missed all the hokum surrounding the movie...so technically I have no mempory of the controversy.......but since becoming a Who fan.... i have seen and read the only biggie that most fans love to ignore in The TVM is that one little line....so that is why I seem to presume so....and would be more fun if that was the case.

You may well be right. The re-reading the review it does say "one of the controversial lines" of the movie.
And the roll back wasn't a line, it was a plot point. Only the half-human bit was a line.

I agree as well, there DW reviews are terrible. I sometimes find myself wondering if they just pretend to have seen the episode and base there reviews on stuff others have already said.

The half human thing wasn't one little line, though-it was a major plot point (it was the reason the Master needed the Doctor's retina pattern and then Chang Lee's) which was repeated later by the Master. It was a huge chunk of the plot.

True....but it is still controversail....the fact he said it...makes it a line....not sure what other "line" was as controversial as that....I guess we will find out come this saturday anyway

I saw this not long ago on one of the cable channels. I have to say, can someone tell me how the series/Doctor Who canon get around this whopping great faux pas? I just don't get why the yanks had to put this in.

Rubbish film. Good Doctor though.

It's FOX and Science Fiction. They always mess things up. And if it's actually half way decent or good they cancel it.

Ah but if you remember, the X-Files dramatic success is what made FOX the 4th network back when there were only 3. In 92-93 they were the little guy with big dreams and all that. Now, they seem to assume that any science fiction show out there must immediately have success like the X-files otherwise it gets the axe.

FOX during X-Files is the WB/CW for the past decade or so.
