Doctor Who - Turn Left - Preview
So it does seem this doctor death happens with the racnoss, but without donna as the runaway bride. Alternate earth anyone????
Sneak preview of Doctor Who season finale by SFX
We don't normally run previews of the new episodes of Doctor Who - doing the reviews keeps us busy enough! But our Ian was so excited after watching his preview disc of episode 12 (Russell T Davies's "The Stolen Earth", the first part of the two-part season finale) last night that he just had to share his instant assessment on our forum:
"Episode 12 is ABSOLUTELY BLEEDIN' MENTAL and SUPER-DOOPER-FANWANKY. They'll have to power-hose the squee off the walls of the Outpost Gallifrey forums a week on Saturday.
"It feels a bit like a nostalgic Russell flicked through Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia and went 'Oooh, yeah, that was good - I'll have some of that. And them. And her. And bring in that wotsit from that throwaway line in episode X.' Whilst throwing his head back, hooting with laughter, and booming 'MARVELLOUS!' It's like watching the entire new series so far compressed into a blipvert.
"Ming-mong-kryptonite, then, and there's a danger that the sheer density of it will give casual viewers concussion, but I spent 45 minutes whooping and bellowing with laughter at the sheer don't-give-a-toss audacity of it, and am about to watch it all over again IMMEDIATELY. I bloody loved it, even though there's a slim chance I'll think it's a big pile of tits once I've calmed down sufficiently to be dryly rational - in, say, about three years' time."
Fear not, readers: we've administered a large dose of horse tranquiliser, and Ian is now in a stable condition.
"The Stolen Earth" airs on BBC One on Saturday 28 June.

Davies hails Captain Jack's sexuality
Russell T. Davies has hailed the importance of bisexual character Captain Jack Harkness on primetime British television.
The Doctor Who showrunner told the New York Times that the presentation of Captain Jack, first seen in 2005 story 'The Empty Child', opposes the usual depiction of bisexuality on television.
"I thought: 'It’s time you introduce bisexuals properly into mainstream television,'" he said. "The most boring drama would be - 'Oh, I'm bisexual, oh my bleeding heart' nighttime drama. Tedious, dull. But if you say it’s a bisexual space pirate swaggering in with guns and attitude and cheek and humour into primetime family viewing - that was enormously attractive to me."
Davies added: "I often get asked to write dramas or films about a man coming out of the closet to his wife, or a man coming out of the closet to his children, or a man who's beaten up because he’s secretly gay. I always refuse if it's a negative take on homosexuality - if the only aspect being portrayed is the trouble, the tears and the angst."
There are strong rumours that Captain Jack, last seen in spinoff show Torchwood, will return to Doctor Who for the finale of the current fourth season.

Turn Left pics
Midnight
The story was ok, i will give Rusty one thing, he knows how to write a cheap ass story to film. The finale must be costing a bundle to film and be full of special effects and cgi since this one sorely lacked any at all. Rusty is good at cutting those corners. I had hoped a donna lite eppy would have been so much better, but instead we get 12 angry men set on a tram on a planet of diamonds. whoo hooo. I liked it well enough but for this story to follow the two parter before it, really shows the different styles of RTD and Moffat, Moffat being on top here in my humble opinion. At least we got a glimpse of Rose, you did catch her didn't you???

Updated::::
Fu#$ me the confidential for Midnight was even worse!!!! You don't have anyone better to talk about WHO than the foley guy or the boom mic holder? DAMNNNNNNN
