• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

One of the episodes being shown in the UK (next week it is to be shown), from the spoilers of the episode, we are told the Doctor is dead, Donna is suppose to die, and Rose is somehow involved.

Obviously Donna doesn't properly die, obviously The Doctor doesn't properly die, and obviously Rose isn't properly involved (because she is in a different universe)..

I don't know how far people are with the series yet, but figure a discussion on this would be good.

First of all I immediately recognised the Fortune Teller as Chipo Chung who had played Chanto in Utopia.

After brief appearances in Partners In Crime, The Poison Sky & Midnight, Billie Piper finally makes a substantial appearance as Rose in this season not to mention seeing her name back in the opening titles albeit this time with the "And" credit.

Turn Left is this season's Doctor-lite episode however it is quite different from Love & Monsters & Blink. Turn Left serves as a contrast to the previous episode Midnight. Whereas Donna appeared briefly in Midnight, Turn Left is the complete opposite with the Doctor appearing for a few minutes in total. We see what happened if Donna did not meet the Doctor with her turning right instead of left and the result is just devastating.

This episode has been uncomfortable to look at but at the same time it has been brilliantly done and Donna certainly interacts well with Rose. Also a very good lead up to the end of the season.

If nothing else Turn Left should serve as metaphor for all viewers of whether one's life could have been for the better if one got to Turn Left at a critical point in time. On a personal irony if I got to Turn Left in my life I probably would not be a Doctor Who fan. Well that's an irony of life.
