Huh, that creepy disciple girl with the red hair is cute, I wonder if we're going to see her again.

The episode that will be remembered as "The time the 10th Doctor met the 12th Doctor and they fought the 11th Doctors companion. . . Also the taxi driver from episode 1 of Sherlock showed up and shit got weird. . ."

The creepy ginger and the old guy are great actors. Hope to see more of them...

LOL Perfect time for Aaron to talk about Doctor Who reusing characters in different roles (Granted he is talking about Wilf and Martha) considering who we see in this episode.

Who frowned me this face?

Donna volunteering to push the lever with The Doctor was when she escalated to my favorite of the new companions.

Yes this episode has two very good examples of an actor returning to play a major part.

This is such a beautiful episode, which really showcased the acting talents of both David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

Aaron: "She's in a few things" subtle Aaron subtle :P

silence in the library and forest of the dead are so close and i dont know if im ready.

I'm really sad they didn't talk about Donna. This episode is really where you see just how much she's changed. She had so much compassion for the people of Pompeii, trying her hardest to save them and even refusing to leave unless the Doctor did something. And then compassion for the Doctor having to make that awful desicion to kill 20,000 people, and shares the responsibility of those deaths with the Doctor. The Runaway Bride Donna only cared about what she wanted.

29:24

donna's grandpa is the same character in that christmas special afaik

"Doctor; that is your name."

Man, with some of the discussion this one caused, gonna be fun seeing what they think of Waters of Mars.

Underrated episode, especially The Doctor and Donna's interaction about saving people. Also the humour is on point

This is probably one of my favorite episodes. It's intriguing without being too complicated, exciting without being the usual "Hallway horror format", and I personally just love the Ancient Rome setting. I wish Doctor Who had the opportunity to explore exotic locations a lot more often (this episode was actually filmed on-site in Italy), it makes for some wonderful material. Plus it's such a good opening for the Doctor's and Donna's relationship.

Eric: "She's Nebula... she's in something else too. What else is she in...? Is she in Jumanji." Aaron: "Yea... she's... in a lot of things." Man, Eric stumbles so close to things so many times.

Kind of disappointed you didn't talk about Donna's role. Like you point out how you like him going back for that family but the thing was he was going leave them all, with out Donna there to be like "not the whole town just some one" he wouldn't have made that choice to go back. It hammers home the last words she said to him in the Runaway bride about how he needs some one, to find some one, how the Doctor isn't fully himself with out a companion to bring out the best in him. It highlights Donna's compassionate nature (he greatest trait imo), to me Donna will always be one of the companions who cared the most.

A fixed point in time in Doctor Who is basically an event or series of events that had a massive impact on history, and changing them would in some way drastically alter events in the future. Altering a fixed point in time usually ends up being impossible somehow, and if it is altered will have massive repercussions for the timeline, which sometimes results in the Reapers (the flying things from the Father's Day episode) coming in to play.
