Doctor Who 3x03 - "Gridlock"
Plot Summary - Written by Russell T. Davies
The Doctor returns to a now much grittier New Earth with Martha, eventually to meet the Face of Boe one final time. While there they encounter a spaceship pilot named Thomas Kincade Brannigan — a cat being of a similar appearance to the Sisters of Plenitude — and his wife, Valerie and find the streets being ruled by sinister Pharmacists.

I told you. Only forum staff can make episode polls. Tom must have created his poll whilst I made mine, and so I hadn't known about it.

for me, this was so close to being brilliant, 9.9...just for the pure energy and emotion, it was a stunning episode. Those four words were predicted right ![Stick Out Tongue](http://forums.dannystewart.com/images/smilies/toung.gif) ...but still, best episode of the season so far.

I liked it too! Dougal off "Father Ted" was brilliant. although I do think the plot was a bit empty in places. I felt I didn't know much about those giant crabs, and why were these people driving to the upper city. there was no real threat to the planet in this episode, nothing sinister. the whole plot just felt like something thrown togeteher to make the Doc meet Boe. but the acting was superb, especially by Dougal off "Father Ted" and that smartly dressed man. for all of this, I give it 7 out of 10.

It was a fine episode and the best so far. Just as well I didn't give the last ones 8 or 9, eh Danny?

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.

I'm really not sure about this latest one. Technically, it was absolutely stunning, with fantastic effects, stunning make-up and wonderful performances (this post brought to you by the Oxford English Thesaurus). Story-wise however, it wasn't that great in my opinion. It struck me as a thinly-veiled political statement, and I'm surprised there wasn't something about congestion charges in there.
I'm really going off Russell T. Davies' writing, I'm afraid. I think I'm right in saying that he's a gay Welshman and while I'm certainly not homophobic or prejudiced against Welsh people in any way (I go to uni in Wales and absolutely love it there for a start), I'm getting slightly bored of his habit of inserting gay characters into almost every single bit of TV he writes for. I do still love Dr. Who, and indeed some of RTD's earlier work, but I'd like to see him write a bit more about something outside of himself, if you see what I mean.
I know this probably makes me sound like a complete prannet, but believe me that isn't my intention at all. I can be quite appallingly bad at expressing myself in writing at times.

Hamster -- I understand exactly what you mean. I really enjoyed this episode a lot, but there are certain RTDisms that drive me up the wall, especially when he does the same types of things over and over again. Don't worry, you don't sound like a "prannet" at all.
Also, I must say, RTD gets about a billion bonus points for bringing back the Macra. That may be the single coolest thing that man has done.

That was easily the best episode of the series so far. Extremely enjoyable. I cried during that singalong of Old Rugged Cross, that was a really great part. Also, when the Doctor started talking about Gallifrey at the end and got all emotional, I cried at that part too, especially since Boe had just died.
10/10 for me.
Do you think that he was talking about the Master? Or?

yes, of course he was talking about the Master. Series One, they bought back the Daleks. Series Two, they bought back the Cybermen. They are slowly going through all the old villains until, eventually, series 3- the Master.

You say "yes, of course they're talking about the Master, it's obvious," when you could say "well, I think it'll be the Master, I don't see how it could be anything else given what we've seen and heard so far."
