Sometimes I think people go out of the way to miss read my posts...

I never said that Buffy was ripping off Dr Who was ripping off buffy etc. All I said was that if you want to look for future plot developments you can look at Buffy because RTD has openly admitted that he was inspired by it.


It was then stated that you can't compare the two shows - which I did.

I don't give a **** who came up with the monster of the week format, what is relevant is that they both use it.

Angel may not be the first show to have a spin off series, I'm not saying that you can only compare Dr Who to Buffy, I'll conceed that it is similar to over shows as well, again I don't really see how that effects my point.

If Buffy used something that has been happening in Dr Who since the year dot, it makes it easier to compare them, not harder.



As Willow would say: "Bored Now"

Since joining DS, I've learnt that if you post "I'm not saying x", someone will invariably post a long diatribe citing multiple googled sources was to why you were wrong when you said x.

Could Mr Saxon be the Meddling Monk. Left stranded in Norman times by the Doctor. Would he have surrived the Time War if he was still on Earth at the time.

yer its very intresting but when she says loney now and loney as boy could it some how suggest he wasnt in the time war thats why he is the only one left?

I think I shall watch everything again and see whethe rI can pick up on anything more like that. It will be interesting to see how things play out, and I have a feeling my questions may be answered by the end of this season.

Nah, I think the other timelordlings just wouldn't play with him because he was a half-human

spose? but this must have a meaning was there a reason for why he surrvived the time war?

Those words are sacrilege!

do you think the time lords palyed with each other then

I have seen Buffy (I have friends like you who love it) and just didn't like it- sorry. My response was simply to so many of you wanting Doctor Who to be like Buffy. It's not like it at all and if it was I wouldn't watch it. I know Buffy was very popular with fans and I did want to like it but like Torchwood I just did not enjoy it. My post was light hearted and not mean't to cause offence. Thank you for proving me wrong I forgot Xander was ugly!!
I like Sarah M.G and Mr. Head too. Think they are fantastic.
By the way I loved Firefly so I am not bashing the writer or anything either. I am glad you like Doctor Who as I do too, however I will only praise it when it is good and certainly don't think it's wonderful all the time. Anyway enjoy the new series and hope to chat with you soon..

Thank you. This was simply the point I was trying to make. I am not a Buffy fan and you are yet you can see their is no connection. Let us all enjoy those series for what they are not try and morph one into the other.

I thought

That's because some people confuse their own personal opinion with fact, which is funny when the facts say something completely different.

If I were to say The Beatles are the worst band ever and couldnt write a song to save their lives, that would be my own personal opinion but if I added that they arent respected within the music industry I'd be wrong, the actual hard facts say different.

I would then no doubt follow replying posts that clearly state the facts with

Yeah, Yellow Submarine



Strange analogy I know but it's late.

not true. The name of the war "Time War" implicates that the war took place along all of linear time, meaning it isn't just a matter of where the battle takes place, but when as well.

If all TimeLords were killed apart from the Doctor, no matter where of when they were located. If Saxon turns out to be the Master what the explanation will be of how he survived it. If they come up with his TARDIS being stuck in the Void I'm telling you I'll scream and scream and scream (slipping into Bonnie Langford mode )

That has been thought about for years. It could explain why when the Master was first shown he was always trying to destroy/rule the earth.

I thought that was down to budget! And the fact that people can't relate to other planets...

The Master would've survived inside the heart of The Doctor's TARDIS. He was last seen falling into the Eye of Harmony inside the TARDIS. Potentially he could have been released when Rose opened the heart in 'The Parting of the Ways'.

that was my thinking too but how would he have got a tardis? Is the reason we haven't heard from him for so long that he has been growing one?..or did he find one clinging on to life somewhere? Is he in some way responsible for Jacks missing two years of memory? why can I only type in questions...?

Easy, he hasn't got one. All the Saxon references (so far) have been in present day earth episodes. The Master was released in our time line and was trapped there. So he has established himself in our timeline waiting for the right time for revenge or whatever he intends to do....think more regenerations.

that is what I am thinking too...especially with events that occur in episode 6...The Lazarus Experiment.

this might be of interest to people....

I think, from what has been said in the series, that it is totally the opposite case. The Time War, based on my interpretation of what little information about it that has been drip-fed to us, actually took place outside of time.

Remember, we're dealing with Time Lords, they can do that sort of stuff, and judging by the "emergency temporal shift" from Parting Of The Ways, so can the Daleks now, although the Time Lords vowed never to let the Daleks have time travel technology because the implications for the universe would be catastrophic, so I'm wondering how (and where) they got it.

the masters with out a tardis he wants to kill td
soo he could saxon

Why did I see an 'r' there?

Good point, and makes sence. Hasnt it come up befgore
FOB- the lonley god
boom town: tecnology of the gods
And others that i can't remember where they came from.
