I also thought it was great.
The Grumpy Celt said:I’ve heard something interesting about the season finale……that in addition to Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler, Dr. Martha Jones it also features Davros.
Felon said:The Doctor just created a bunch of Max Headrooms. Heck, what we're shown of the data ghosts prior to that indicates that they're crappy copies.
And how do the shadows manage to "look the Doctor up"? After just barely learning to communicate, the swarm of communal predators suddently developed multilingual literacy and opposable thumbs?
Felon said:Of course, I can see where folks who watched the show as a ten-year-old kid would only recall being bored with a storyline that was more of a psychodrama than monster mash, and have fond memories of the lumbering rubber-suite monsters.
I can only point out that your own over-the-top emoting smacks of the same kind of generalization you accuse me of. You went on passionately about how terrible the character in question is without qualifying your opinion. Not that I even addressed you personally to begin with, but you certainly left the matter open for folks to fill in the blanks as to why you so loathe the character.horacethegrey said:Dude, don't try to generalize stuff like that.
See, that's generalization. How can you be "sure" of what's true for others?I only became a Doctor Who fan as an adult, and as such I have no nostalgia to color my judgement. And I'm sure this is true for others as well.
Was he? I only recall him in two or three stories. Wikipedia has him appearing five times between 1975 and '88.The Grumpy Celt said:I remember the speech about "releasing the disease" from Genesis as being pretty good, but I've not seen it in years and years. Davros was just over used and lost his drama and menace after being defeated 148 times.
Well, that sounds logical, but the mind is as much a result of chemicals residing in the brain as it is electrical impulses, so without extracting the brian itself, in the end the best you can do is make a copy.Cthulhudrew said:The other folks may or may not be data ghosts (now that we know the Doctor's modified screwdriver was set up to get River's info, it may also have been doing the same for the others), but I'd assume the Doctor at least is capable of creating something that will get someone's memory engrams in toto and preserving them so that they could be uploaded into the Library computers.
