What Did You Think of The Power of Three?
What Did You Think of The Power of Three?
The fourth episode of series 7a has aired so what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.
StompingFreak
September 22nd, 2012 - 10:04pmI loved the ref to the brig. But this season isn’t
warming. As a fan since 73. I really feel let down. Why single ep’s? tree/four parts allow the story to develope. I feel Mr Moffet isn’t making Dr Who scarey just kiddy friendly. If you watch the hand of fear, peraminds of mars, robots of death, they really creeped you out. There is nothing in the new series that gets close. I still love Who, but wish it would return to the days when mad women wanted the show banned. End all this family/relationship with assistant. Make the stories good with scares. Please return the show to its roots, Robert Holmes, Terrance Dicks, Victor Pemberton. Less gay lovey bosh. It’s my option so please don’t hate mail me. I just want the best for the greatest si-fi show ever.

September 22nd, 2012 - 9:25pmAbsolutely fantastic. This is definitely the best season for the 11th dr! Loving the single spisode movies. Great comeback from the arc last year!!! Can’t wait for next sat…..

September 22nd, 2012 - 9:20pmReally glad Kate turned out to be the brig’s daughter as I’d hoped she would be. Love the unit family!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:10pmsome nice moments, but the ship explosion was too quick, not that much action, a bit disappointing, but nice ending.

September 22nd, 2012 - 9:05pmReally enjoyed this episode, it felt familiar. It also set up next weeks departures nicely. So far, im enjoying series 7 more than 5 and 6.
Craig
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:30pmConplety agree.- there were many hints of a possible death to cone! Hope this isn’t going to be an Adric moment…. Tears at bedtime!!!
StompingFreak
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:35pm@Craig No tears, Adric was hated. Cheers went up in my house when he crashed into the earth. Plus Earth Shock was one of thed best cyberman story ever. Only falt with this story was Beryl Reid… ..Why?? lol
booboo
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:37pmnot by everyone, i have no problem with him
Whovian
September 23rd, 2012 - 8:12pmWho’s Adric?
StompingFreak
September 23rd, 2012 - 9:45pm@Whovian you need to watch the classic series. Mosters were poor, sets were cheap. but the actting/stories over 4-6 parts were the stuff of dreams/nightmares. I’m 42 yrs old. I got my intrest in tec computers thanks to Doctor Who. If you can, watch, Earthshock, the e-space season, the talons of wing chang. egnour the sets and you will find why this show used to scare children over 4-6 weeks telling one story. Not great start, end fast end in one ep. Who still is fun, but its lost it’s magic, smith is great, but is too much like the 3rd Doctor. All this family/relastionship stuff is only in the new show. we never meet sarah janes family, or cared. joe grant may have had a thing with the Doctor, but thats about it. We meet Tegan’s aunt, but she is killed by the master 10mins into ep 1 of Lagobolis. The new is nice, but not amazing. RTD had good idea’s for Tennant, but SM has belittled them(River Song build up, but rush to end a season ep). Great stories of the past built up over ep’s not rushed in on ep.

September 22nd, 2012 - 9:05pmI think Kate is a wonderful creation she is like a female version of the Brigadier I hope she returns to the series quite a bit
Mr Evil Fez
September 23rd, 2012 - 7:14amAfter all, The Brigader had more than 100 appearances!
gary
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:59pmSo much better than last week!!
That Cube over there
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:55pmIt was ok. Nowhere near as good as last week’s masterpiece, but it was still very enjoyable. The ending was, however, very disappointing. The two nurses have become the Boatswain of Series 7. Except this time they didn’t randomly appear at the end. 😉
Next week looks good! There were some interesting hints towards it in this episode. 🙂
Moxx of who
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:53pmHow come the tardis has a new wall? Theres a picture on the bbc doctorwho website which is in the gallery for power of three.
John Smith
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:27amYeah, I thought that it was a bit weird that wall thingy. I’m not to sure what to think about it. Looks like a spacey-wacey-wibbely-wobbly-timey-whimey spider web.
Ryan
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:36pmOdd… A interesting premise, a good first half, nice classic throwbacks… But then… The plot is hurriedly resolved on the ship at the end, and the resolution.. Awful…. Still, a nice little story, but not the best this series by far! 6/10
Mr Evil Fez
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:34pmThe ‘cube that plays the funky chicken’ and when the Doctor does the jobs, were really childish!
StompingFreak
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:56pmI think you’ll find that was the Birdy song. When to No1 in the UK in the 80’s.
Mr Evil Fez
September 23rd, 2012 - 7:59pmSorry!
Whovian
September 23rd, 2012 - 8:04pmWhat’s the point of being growwn up if you can’t be childish sometimes?
Boodleoo
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:33pmBring back 2 parters booboo can you do a poll and send it too moffat on twitter.:D
Moxx of Who
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:32pmI think Power of three had a bit of a crazy plot. What happened to those two nurses and the little girl? Next week looks great!
RassilonRocks
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:29pmbrigs daughter was cool i hope she returns in the 50th to represent brig. i think that would be nice.
Dr Who!
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:29pmThe Power of Three: 5/10
Asylum of the Daleks: 6/10
A Town Called Mercry: 7/10
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship: 8/10
ATM looks EPIC I hope its the best of the series!
NotADalek
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:27pmWhile I thought the episode was good, I don’t think it found its feet, with all the jumping about at the beginning. The climax was rather underwhelming too (sonic screwdriver solves all! – this shouldn’t happen).
Harold Saxon
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:24pmIt was good,it did remind me a bit of the tochlfane thing with that invasion but generally good fun,nice to see unit,the cubes were good too!
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:22pmLoved it. 8/10 Though there could’ve been more scenes with the shakri in it. I think in the angels take manhatten, amy and rory die by jumping off of that building
crazy guy
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:15pmdoubt it
crazy guy
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:15pmas it would be a lame way to die
Mr Evil Fez
September 23rd, 2012 - 7:15amI agree with you crazy guy.
dr who who
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:20pmbrillaint, the best in this series so far.
Professor When
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:20pmLOVED IT! But next weeks looks awful!(as in creepy, not quality):grin:
Professor When
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:21pm*sigh* sorry, i mean’t 😀
Ben
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:20pmDidn’t like that much – the setup was good, but the ending felt tacked on and too ‘easy’. There were also lots of things left unexplained (or it was too fast for me to take them in), like why were the people all being taken to the Shakri ship?
Mr Evil Fez
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:22pmBecause they wanted to test the cubes first?
Chopper
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:19pmThat was without doubt one of the most awful, inconsistent and badly written episodes of I have ever watched. For example, when they got on the ship Rory and his dad were unconscious yet the two “aliens” had suddenly disappeared never to be seen again. Why were they taking people to the ship anyway ? Where did they go and why didn’t they try to stop the Doctor from blowing it up ?
Kevin
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:42pmexactly, a great, promising start that seemed more like the classic modern doctor who but then…a rubbish anitclimax ending. The 2 nurses never tried to stop the doctor let alone the main bad guy (his name/race misplaces my mind atm). Plus what was with the girl? she was one of the seven points but the doctor only took her out. A bit lame tbh
crazy guy
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:14pmif you were listening as you call the main bad guy the doctor said he was not real it was made by the computer as it was an interface
OODSIGMA
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:19pmGood but last weeks was even better

September 22nd, 2012 - 8:18pmGood but last weeks was better…

September 22nd, 2012 - 8:18pmit was good and a bit like a old 3rd doctor story.
Mr Evil Fez
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:20pmIn my opinion, it was more of a 9th Doctor story.
Mr Evil Fez
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:16pmAbsolutely brilliant, better than ATCM and DOAS. Also, Brian has become the new Wilf. 8/10
Liam
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:16pmDidn’t like that episode too much.
crazy guy
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:16pmawesome and i defiantly cant wait for the next episode
The supreme
September 22nd, 2012 - 9:55pmiagrree . cant wait. the next time trailer looked freaky and exiting. on a nother trailer the statue of lib was behind rory with a evil look
drwhofan4ever
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:15pmthere should be more monster scenes in this episode
Dalek Jake
September 22nd, 2012 - 8:15pmI really like the Brigadiers daughter.
