I can do spoilers!
[SPOILER="RTD's big plan"]The Doctor dies, badly composited gas comes out of his mouth and revives the charred bones of the Master, who regenerates into a snowman Adipose who travels the universe in a TARDIS disguised as a child's scooter.[/SPOILER]

The sad part is, RTD's great master plan, which probably had way more time and thought put into it than what you just wrote, will probably end up sounding about as lame.

[SPOILER="Martha"]Martha will be in The Doctor's Daughter apparently. Hopefully she goes home after and then her next 2 episodes of the series will be the finale.[/SPOILER]
They changed the theme again. I think last nights was the best, however it needed a little bit more bass.
It would be good at the end of the Series to get all the themes and place them on top of each other so its a mix of every theme.

I bet that's what Chuzzle will do for the finale. Gawd, imagine the chorusing, and the sort of dull echo effect from the fact that they're all at different speeds...

This is a spoiler for The Doctor's Daughter, not Martha. Martha is a character. You cannot spoil a character -- at least not outside the show.
Additionally, I really don't think this is a spoiler at all. It's a casting issue. This stuff is generally known months beforehand. (I certainly knew it for a few weeks now...)

The opening consistently doesn't have enough bass.
Needs moar bass boom wallop.

Really. I had no idea. I put in spoilers in case some people thought there was a possibility she died next week (obvious she won't) but some people are massive spoilerphobes.

Really loved that, definitely a 9/10 from me. Only criticism is that Commander Skorr looked and sounded goofy, especially compared to the awesomeness of General Staal.
Also, I don't think they changed the theme this time, other than the piss poor editing of the closing theme...?

Bloody loved it, that ending was really well done and gripping. With the Doctor seeming so helpless as everything goes off, standing in the middle of a smoke filled street, the music building as the Sontaran's chant and launch their one man pods.
Brilliant, just brilliant. Acting, makeup, writing, everything.. this is what Doctor Who is supposed to be like. The references to past episodes were done in a good way, so was the Donna / Martha and Donna's Family interaction. (Love Wilf!)
It just felt so.. classic Who. Especially when Stall appears and does the whole introduction, GLEE.
Only two quibbles from me this time though..

Agreed, that was a bit confusing.
Also, I will personally kill the next character in doctor who that says 'Deadlocked'. Then again, I suppose if you are an invading alien force and want to make damn sure NOTHING stops your plan, deadlock is the best option.
Can't wait for next weeks, hope it is just as awesome, if not more so.

Sontaran facial hair has been there since the Sontarans were introduced.

ZOMG I really have been missing a lot.
The Sontarans in the Two Doctors look a bit ... melted.

Bloody marvellous. 9/10.
Although, I did notice that they did go ahead and changed UNIT to an abbreviation for "Unified Intelligence Taskforce".

Incorrect. This was RTD's decision. Essentially, the BBC got in some trouble for making a fake UNIT web site during series one. RTD wanted to avoid possible further trouble with fans trying to make web sites for a non-existent UN organization, so to avoid that, he changed the name. If he wanted to, he could have kept it the same and there is nothing the UN could have done about it. The decision to change it was his alone.

I had to give this an 8/10 rating, it was a solid episode and was some good viewing, acting was excellent and it was excellent to see Martha back, especially since there was no arguing, which as what i feared. the Sontaran's were great to see again too. Christopher Ryan was pretty much unrecognizable as Staal, and Donna is definately becoming one of the best written characters around. Next weeks should be an exciting finale.

Unrecognizable?
I still think his voice is recognizable! See this clip for example in which he played Dave Hedgehog, (non-Bottom fans, he is on the far left hand side of the couch).

"Well they had their tea, didn't they?" -- I still laugh at this

Watching the BBC website clip for Poison Sky I think it looks great.
I really think Skorr is a great character (didn't like him that much at first) and Murray Gold picked the best music for that scene.
Looks like there will be a lot of fighting.
And Liz Sladen is in Confidential!
