DW: A worry for future episodes, re super-rose"
Don't get me wrong I really loved the finale on Saturday. However I'm slightly worried, that now they can wheel out "super-rose" to beat any bad guy, seeing as she can delete their existence!
I know RTD are too smart to rely on this, and they won't, its just I know now that , that is in the Tardis! Do I make sense? probably not |

I know RTD are too smart to rely on this, and they won't, its just I know now that , that is in the Tardis! Do I make sense? probably not If you mean that they can keep wheeling her out by having her connect with the heart of the Tardis - well, they can't, not without the loss of either her or the Doctor (or, rather, one of his regenerations). When we saw super-Rose/golden Rose in TPOTW, she was totally physically overcome by the experience fairly rapidly, and was only saved by the Doctor's kiss, which drew the force into him, causing him to have to regenerate. So they couldn't really try that very often .If you mean that there are things that Rose did while in this state of which we may not yet be aware (for instance, we saw Captain Jack revive, but what of the others on the station? Did all the daleks really vanish, or were the ones killed by the Ann Droid transmatted, as their predecessors had been? If things were returned to their status at the time of the Time Wars, are all the other Time Lords still dead, and all the daleks, so that any transmatting would effectively be wiped, even if it had happened? Or could she, in fact, change what happened to the Time Lords? And if so, what of the daleks?), then I think we will probably see some of this as a plot device in the future. Whatever happens, it's going to be terrific fun finding out. And it will be very interesting to see how much of the above DT's DW knows about. Will he actually have total recall of absolutely everything CE's DW saw/heard/did/thought/felt? When CE's DW took the power back from Rose, did he absorb everything she had done in those moments, and will this knowledge have been passed on to DT's DW? Will he know that Captain Jack revived, and is apparently stranded on the station? And will Rose remember that? Oh boy, I can't wait

I can't imagine that recovering from having a time vortex inside you is an easy thing, so I'd like to see some kind of after effects. |

Oh boy, I can't wait ![]() As for Rose? I guess it'll be up to the Tardis if she has a gander under the bonnet again but I tend to agree that the Doctor wouldn't be casting regenerations aside left, right and centre every time Rose feels the need for omniscience... Rose: I wonder what me Mum wants for Christmas? Oh I know what I can do... Doctor: Oh bugger... |

So the plot of TPOTW was rubbish because of 3 unlikely plot devices
1) Introduction of Emperor Dalek via the same method that "Derek" the Dalek had escaped the Final Time War. 2) Introducing Omniscent Rose with her "with a wave of her hand all was well" ability. 3) Rose understanding the meaning of "Bad Wolf" which led her to become Omniscent Rose with the ability to set up the "Bad Wolf" post-its so that she would understand the meaning of "Bad Wolf" which led her to become Omniscent Rose with the ability to set up the "Bad Wolf" post-its so that she would understand the meaning of "Bad Wolf" which led her to become... |

And yes, I think Rose should definitely be encouraged to be a bit of a Mogwai where bright lights are concerned .

Rose just wanted to 'talk' to the TARDIS telepathically, girl-to-girl, to get it to take her back to the Doc. The TARDIS, rather meanly, possessed her with the Vortex. 3. to appreciate the third point, you have to understand that the TARDIS exists in all points of time and space simultaneously. For those few minutes, so did the Rose/TARDIS hybrid. The Doctor was in mortal danger under the Bad Wolf Corporation sign, so she/it/they left the post-it notes retroactively to tell Rose where she had to be without the Doctor cottoning on and crossing his own time-line. Didn't matter if it was done before, after or later; because of the TARDIS' temporal ambiguity, they're all its NOW. The message was deliberately veiled so that it would be noticed but not understood (as we on these threads know all too well!), until Rose saw the Playground and realised that things were still happening - That's when her resolve was strengthened and she had the idea of the telepathic link. I (like BG) was a little disappointed that RTD chose the 'everyone working together opens the Heart of the TARDIS' over the 'Rose's love of the Doctor' option- but I don't think the TARDIS is quite right in the 'head'. These are just my opinions (hopefully it will all be cleared up by the end of series '2') and you can tell me I'm wrong, but I was happy enough with the resolution. In fact I thought it was GRRRrrrrrrrrrreat! ('Fantastic' is so first series!) |

Like I say the whole thing was contrived but having the possibility of the return of Omniscent Rose gives a way for BP to leave the series, dying for Her Doctor

Frankly, I say, give Jack a spin-off series ... |

Frankly, I say, give Jack a spin-off series ... The last series was filmed over eight months, starting in July last year, and wrapping the weekend before the launch in March, according to CE's interview at the press conference. If a similar filming schedule is being followed with the next series, it should hopefully give JB the time to fit the odd flit across our screens into his diary, presumably filming sometime after Xmas, as he seems to be pretty tied up with theatre until then - cabaret appearances, followed by A Few Good Men at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, previewing from Aug 18, and then panto (oh yes he is!). www.barrowmanonline.com |

Perhaps this will be something that Rose and the Doc will discuss in the next episode... |

No one shall ever suspect! Seriously though I've said it before and I'm 100% certain I'll say it again but that really was the best series I've seen on Television...for years!! |

Why didn't the doctor himself look into the Vortex to get the powers to atomise the Daleks. This is the sort of thing he woulddo, sacrificing his 9th regeneration to save humanity.
After rescuing Rose from the spacestation, he could have done this, come out of the tardis, as Rose in the end did, and send the Daleks and their Emperor off into cosmic dust. Then he would have collapsed and changed into David Tennant. Would have been a short episode i know, but would have saved a lot of bother. |

I think the way that Rose was taken over by the vortex was pretty nasty in retrospect - and happened because the TARDIS wanted to save the Doctor, regardless of the danger to Rose, or the salvation of millions of chip-eating apes who were also in danger. |
