Seriously, know a guy who calls himself "The biggest Who Fan" and he doesnt know who tom baker is.
I don't think that's true. There's a big difference between fans of New Who not knowing about Old Who and New Who not knowing about Old Who. The first episode of New Who was an old enemy from way back in the day. It isn't like they got rid of everything.
But who knew that Old Who would pop up on New Who???? Hurts my head to think about.

I mean it's a goddamn leaft!
I think the whole idea (foreshadowed by the currency of the folks they were visiting) is that objects retain memories of those who possess them. The leaf contained not only memories but the impressions placed on it by her family of the 'infinite possibilities'. Combined that with the fact that that leaf created the 'impossible girl' and it made it rather important. Not sure what the impossible girl thing is yet (although amusing that the Tardis doesn't like her just like Capt. Jack).
Yes, I already know that, having actually seen the episode and all.
It does just seem...silly really, I could have fed o'l Starthulhu a fork and said 'Think of all the infinite meals this fork could have helped deliver, think of all the possible things I and others could have eaten with it!' Like you say, not the worst episode, but in my opinion no way near the best.
As said earlier, it should have been the book.

This is a signature. It contains words of an important or meaningful nature.
You could have but that fork hasn't absorbed a lifetime of psychokinetic energy to back that assertion up. I'm not saying it was a great episode but at least that part made a little sense.

It was bland throughout, the new girl keeping my interest piqued but when the Dr started his rant at the sun and the sugar Oates music started getting louder I know the ending would be a poor one.
The real disappointment was that I didn't turn it off when I realised. I'd happily have that lanky ginger bint back over another episode like that, hot new companion or not.
Christ more Daleks would have been preferable to that!
Yeah the second episode was complete crap. I think I am actually considering stopping watching Doctor Who, but I'll give the next episode a go.

I might have to go pick some more up after the last ones... though packs of 8 (and looks like just new paradigm) isn't quite as good as packs of 11 with 5 NP and 6 classic...

A bloke that lived opposite where I used to live went and bought an actual dalek prop from the series, it was rather surreal when I saw a dalek moving down the street...
Yeah, much better than last weeks one; though that would not be hard.
Wet companion ....good.
Decent attempt at a bug hunt type script.....good enough.
Cast...pretty top notch (companion - just pretty )
Set....a surprisingly roomy nuclear sub but not in the least wonky.
Creature effects - Ice Warrior costume....sweet!
Ice warrior hands....straight out of a 70's episode! They were just building up some suspense and the next thing you know a pair of rubber joke shop hands are caressing Russian sallies heads? Fearsome warrior my arse, he was on earth to do some amateur psychic head bump reading!
So generally better but it petered out at the end I thought.

One is forced to question how the Martians had a technology 6,000 years ago that let them send a power armoured warrior to Earth, get him frozen in a glacier, lose him, forget about him, preserve him for 6,000 years, wake him up alive, activate a help beacon that was recognised after 6,000 years, from inside a submarine under 700m of sea, and get from Mars to Earth in 30 minutes to rescue him, using a transporter beam, and no-one ever noticed the Martians, nor have they done anything interesting in the solar system.
Ice warrior civ is in decline and most are in suspended animation according to previous lore.

"The title of the series finale has been revealed and is the hugely intriguing: The Name of the Doctor.
The ‘poster’ for the series’ final adventure (above) was unveiled today and it also confirms that Alex Kingston is back, joining Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman for what promises to be a jaw-dropping end to a spectacular series.
But we’re not there, yet! We’ve still to unravel the mystery of Clara – the woman ‘twice killed’ and yet still by the Doctor’s side… What secrets does she hold? And in the weeks ahead we’ve a trip to a haunted house, a journey to the centre of the TARDIS and a nightmare clash with the mighty Cybermen. But after all those adventures we have The Name of the Doctor and stand by for something that you might always have believed to be impossible…
You can see all the posters for the final four episodes of the series in our latest gallery and Doctor Who continues tomorrow at 6.45pm on BBC One with Hide."

Thoughts about the "Ghost Story"? I honestly had no idea what happened. Something about a ghost, then they're on a planet, and there's an astronaut. And the chemistry between the doctor and his companion remains non-existant, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if this series was the last.
I have no idea what happened in Doctor Who Rips of the; Evil Dead, Paranormal activity and White Noise, other than loud noises and crappy visual effects where quite common.
If you want to make Dr Who scary, then put it in a scary environment, instead of trying to appeal to the people who scream and cry when watching Paranormal activity. If you have to rip something off, try doing it well, instead of poorly replicating the "demon shots" from the Evil Dead.
Again, another in the line of poor episodes in the new Dr Who.
The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.
It's best of you think of the episode as a subversion of a ghost story. - It's basically a 'romance' story by the end (between the Ghosthunter and the psychic, and the two 'monsters' reuniting.)
Mind you, I just watch it for Jenna Louise Coleman anyhow...
There was a few good scenes though, for one, they trying to avoid the whole Martha Jones situation. Clara Vs The Tardis was rather funny too. - "I was right, you are a..."

Let me guess... you forgot the show is for kids? It really annoys me that people expect the episodes to be up there with Supernatural / X Files or Millennium. The production values are way better than they were before it's relaunch and people seem to think that just because they are no longer using cardboard sets, disused sand pits or rubber suits that somehow that makes the shows for adults. They aren't. It's simple really... little Johnny sites down to watch Dr Who, mum and dad have a number of options. Either leave him to it or sit down as a family and watch it. As it's on at the time that most TV stations deem as family viewing, it makes sense to have a show that gets kids excited and mum & dad are happy just to veg out with the kids.
Some adults seem to forget that when they were kids in the 70's watching Dr Who, they would sit behind the sofa or with hands over their eyes whilst watching it, and this is with the cheesy special effects previously listed. If you are an adult moaning about the show I suggest you go and find something else to do as you are obviously missing the point.
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
