This is the most recent one shown on Sci-Fi channel in the US. I thought this was an excellent show, although the varying time pace was a little shaky IMO. Aboard the ship apparently a few minutes equalled several years back in France, and I'm not sure they ever gave an explanation as to why. But I thought the ending was brilliant where everyone was stumped why they were after Evette de Pompadour , and one of the final shots of the show was of the spacecraft 3000 years in the future with her name Madame de Pompadour as the ship's name....now, THAT is good writing!
I am not happy that Mickey (or as Christopher Eccleston's doctor called him, "Ricky") is still traveling along. But overall, the show was good and introduced the doctor's version of Spock's Vulcan Mind Meld. ;D This has been my favorite episode so far in Season 2, but they have only shown about 5 so far.

When the Doctor looking at Madame de Pompadour's memories he found that she was able to do same with his. She started calling him Doctor and said "Doctor who". But then she said something like, "It's more than just a secret." What did she mean by that?  |

I believe it has something to do with the fact that the Doctor's real name is not just a secret to the universe. It is possible that he himself has forgotten his true name, having lived so long and suffering the trauma that he has (e.g. the Time War). I think the issue was flagged up in Steven Moffat's podcast commentary for the episode. |

I just saw this episode last week & it is ranking up there as one of my favorite episodes so far this season. School Reunion still is up there, but this reaches a close second. The ending was very moving. Can't wait for more here in Canada.

I thought this episode was pretty good. About average. The story was rather strange, but it was well done.

I absolutely love this episode. It was creepy (the monster under the bed) but charming too. The casting of Madame de Pompadour and the King was perfect and the story was clever enough to keep twisting and turning yet it still made perfect sense at the end. Plus there was the horse through the mirror scene and Murray Gold's fantastic music.
I give it ten out of ten.

The more I watch it the more I am beginning to like this episode. I really didn't rate it initially, and I still think its a nice idea but a little weak.

It's probably my favorite episode of the season, closely followed by "Tooth and Claw".

Is there a file hidden on his hard drive somewhere that someone might come across one day?  |

Is this podcast still available to listen to? You should be able to get the podcast here: www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/sounds/index2006.shtmlI can't quite remember exactly what was said on the subject but as I seem to recall a comment was made regarding it. |
