I think he's talking about series 2 of the new ones which is also how that perennial asshole Russell T Davies refers to them

It was actually issued as a new series... Which is kinda odd as Doctor Who was put on hiatus in the 80's... not cancelled. So technically there are two series' of Doctor Who in existence now (but yeah in reality it's a continuation, but technicalities are fun!)
Also worth mentioning that the original series 2 is pretty awesome (it featured the Dalek's invasion of earth)

Also should I just rename this topic and it can be DOCTORWHO discussion, since Torchwood's now finished and Doctor Who has just begun?

That's all very interesting but the main point is that russell t davies is a bad, bad man

Very much so, have you seen today's Doctor Who? It's atrocious.
Also the words Heavyhanded and foreshadowing could be used to describe a certain aspect, but I think they would be such an understatement.

I didn't see it yet but

haha, it was so, so bad.

what episodes are not written by russel this season? i dont think im going to bother to watch the rest.

It was quite formulaic it has to be said...

Periodically vandalising the Russell T Davies wikipedia page just doesn't feel like ENOUGH anymore

what episodes are not written by russel this season? i dont think im going to bother to watch the rest.

Luckily the next 7 episodes are not written by Davies, ending with Moffat's two-parter. That leaves only 4 remaining Davies episodes.

oh yeah also billie piper looked terrible!

but wait the next SEVEN arent written by him? wow, why did they open with such a terrible episode, then? stupid humans

Why did Davies decide to move a perfectly good companion (marsha) to his shitty little pet project in favour of the one they effectively killed off in a previous series and a catch phrase-based comedienne who couldn't make me crack a smile whilst I was off my face.

Fuck that guy seriously.

There's a pretty few bad episodes comming up, the two parters seem the best episodes (though the Sontaran is written by the woman who wrote last year's Dalek story so I dunno how the Awesomeness of the Sontarans comming back will be ruined by bad writing)Also the Planet of the ood Might be cool as I did like them.
I have absolutely no hope for the finale though, it seems to me as BAD FANFICTION.

today's episode was pretty brawlin'
Martha returned, donna was away for half the episode, and the mighty sontarans made a return. I thought was gunna be terrible as it was written by hellen Rayner, but it was pretty cool. Yeah they made the Sontarans midgets instead of being stocky powerhouses in puffer jackets. but I kinda like their new clothes, just wish they were taller/bigger in general.</fanboy>
Uhg had to tell my dad to shut up (kept saying there should be old unit personel making cameos, and even mentioned bessy (the Doctor's old car when he worked with unit in the 70's (though chronologically took place in the 80's, but the... who cares. )

yeah, absolutely agreed on tonight's episode. man, the Sontarans are actually pretty awesome, I wasn't expecting anyone so nefarious!

The alien stereotypes you're on about were prolly in Doctor Who all those years ago ;)
