The effects are awful, the dialogues are cheesy and shallow and acting is annoying...
But I cant stop watching it. The british has really concucted something pretty good.

Well, I can only assume you're referring to the new series and not the one that started in the 1960s.

thats becuase the ealry series was made for very serious, seriously serious geek types. the new one is made for children, hence the cartoon version, the childrens comic book, the childrens insider book, and the behind the scenes documentry on childrens tv.

I started watching this about a week or two ago and I'm still upset that Christopher Eccleston is gone. There was something much more charming, imo, about his acting than David Tennant's kid-in-a-man's-body. I just finished season 2 and Tennant has started giving The Doctor a little more depth than he had been at the start of the season, so I can bear it a little more + I'm getting used to him.
Still pretty much looking forward to the 11th Doctor, though.

I liked Eccleston too and thought he should have had some more time as the doctor. Once you get to the middle of season 3 though, Tennant's range of emotion is ridiculous. That's what got me to really start liking him a lot. I don't know if Eccleston could have pulled it off as well as Tennant did.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how good of an actor Eccleston is, having seen him only in this, but I know it would've been great to have him on for a little longer. Anyway, he's gone and there's no use being upset because he isn't coming back.
Tennant just started with the emotions in like the last 5 minutes of season 2. I'd like to see what he can dish out in s3.

So I just started season 5 today and I have to say that I'm not so sure I like Matt Smith. He doesn't seem to be as good of a performer as Tennant. Then again, I'm only on the sixth episode so I'll give him some more time.
HOWEVER
I love me some Karen Gillan.

Speaking of 3, Steven Moffat is a damn good writer. The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, and Blink have been my favorite episodes without doubt, and all by him. Moffat comes up with absolutely fresh, beautiful aliens and great plot. Every time Davies touches a script, the Daleks get involved.

I love Doctor Who! Tennant is my favorite but I do love Matt Smith, although so far this season has been kind of meh other than us learning who River Song is. And I agree, Karen Gillan definitely makes the show much more worth watching :)
I've seen bits and pieces of the old show (mostly the movies) and can say that while it's interesting, it's not essential. The Three Doctors was pretty cool though.

You know what I think is the problem with season 6? Don't worry, I'll tell you:
Its not the Matt Smith is just OK at being the Doctor, it's that Moffat keeps selling himself short by writing OK scripts. Smith, forced to do the best he can with an OK script, churns out an OK performance.
You know who's doing a more than OK job? Don't worry, I'll tell you:
Murray Gold is doing a more than OK job. He is doing a fantastic job. The soundtracks he's written for both seasons 5 and 6 are recognizable, fitting, infective, and masterful. If anyone on the Doctor Who team is doing their job the way that it should be done, it's Murray Gold.

I'm that guy who needs to see things in chronological order, so I'm not going to watch the new Doctor Who until I finish the classic series. I'm only on the second doctor so far, so I've still got a long ways to go.
I'm not going to watch every episode though, since there are about a million of them and I'm not made of time.

The Space channel is showing the entire first half of the season today before the new episode airs, so after I get my hair trimmed in about an hour, my day is completely set.
Oh, and for those who may not have seen it:

Eebebebebeebeebe just finished watching it. I missed Doctor Who so much. I'm starting to like Matt Smith more now after that episode, but for some reason I kept thinking (https://clockcrew.net/talk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lmdk17oNNX1qb160h.gif&hash=6368f1a5eac2cb4cfb821bf7e8a47d0a4fa3b6a9)that he was going to regenerate and a new Doctor was going to come in (even though I knew they wouldn't do that).
Can't wait for the next episode

I was thinking the same thing. The only negatives things I can think to say about this episode would be that the robot guy with the little men inside reminded me of that movie 'Meet Dave', and that for something called 'Lets Kill Hitler' I really would have liked to see more Hitler. The latter of those gripes obviously being really stupid and petty.
But overall, yeah. I'll be back next week. :D

Umm, don't you know that the Doctor Who universe works in any which way that suits the writers' needs? Every villain is defeated and every problem is solved with "aha! I just remembered this bit of information about how to fix this problem even though there was not any hint of there being a way out since the start of the last three episodes! I AM THE DOCTOR (murray gold dum dum dum du dum dum dad dad tsa ka tsa katstsa ka) AND III AM CLEVER."

Right, but seeing them is also the only way to keep them from getting at you. Some kind of sonar kit would keep you from 'observing' them, giving them the perfect opportunity to do their doings.

Quote from: RibsClock;1846628Actually the best emotional moment for the Doctor was in Doomsday, where he didn't say any lines at all, and in fact was contrasted with Rose sobbing uncontrollably while he had hardly any expression. Yet, at the same time, he managed to convey a deep sense of loss, of utter loneliness, and what's more of a familiar and expected loneliness. That one scene told the whole sad side of the doctor's story without saying a single word.
:this: this is one of the reasons series 2 is my favorite series. it was just great episode after great episode and we got to see dt really get acquainted with playing the doctor. if series 2 had jack harkness in it, no other series could come close to it.

Apparently the executive producer at the time didn't want Davies to do that at all.
Quote from: WikiWriter Russell T Davies, in the episode's commentary, called the implication of this scene "a theory" as to the Face of Boe's origins, prompting Executive Producer Julie Gardner to urge him to "stop back-pedaling" about the two characters being the same. Davies also said that after writing the scene he inserted a line in the ADR recording for "Gridlock" in which the Face of Boe calls the Doctor "old friend".[1] However, Davies doesn't like making the relationship explicit, stating "the moment it became very true or very false, the joke dies". He has refused the publication of spin-off novels and comic books that have tried to definitively link the two.[/spoiler]
So they say it's just a "theory" that the Face of Boe is in fact Cpt. Jack

Yeah I was a bit turned off by it but eh, whatever. It's Doctor Who. I started off seeing that kind of stuff in the first season and it didn't bother me. I'm liking how these episodes seem to be getting creepier (in regards to the preview of next weeks).

Some of the designs are fantastic while others suck. Just thought some of y'all may be interested.
EDIT: and when I bought that shirt some of the funds went directly to the artist to help pay for his sick daughter's medical bills so I feel like a nice guy.

Where'd you get it from? Because right now ThinkGeek should still have them on sale.
BUT I AM JELLY. If I could ever dress up as the Doctor I would in a heartbeat. I'm stuck with only being to dress up as Mickey or Martha. fuck.

Just finished watching 'The Girl Who Waited', and I'm not quite sure what I thought of this one...
I'm just going to spoiler tag everything because I don't know what's acceptable to be out-right about.
I missed about the first 5 minutes, but what I got was that the trio landed in this place which is supposed to be some sort of holiday local, but is rampant with a disease which will kill the Doctor (that is to say, no regeneration), so he's got to stay in the TARDIS. The place is filled with robots attempting to administer antibiotics which would be deadly to Amy and Rory. Some time-stream mess up happens, and Amy gets stuck in a separate time stream(?) than Rory and The Doctor. They fly the TARDIS over to Amy's time stream only to find there was a bit of a miscalculation and they showed up about 36 years late. Amy is something of a bitter old cunt, and the dilemma is posed that they must either save old Amy or go back and save younger Amy, effectively killing older Amy by erasing her from time and space.
There was a nice little reference to a certain famous line, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY_Ry8J_jdw) which was cool, but what really bothered me was older Amy was being an absolute asshole about having to wait 36 years when Rory had previously waited around for approximately 2000 years protecting the Pandorica last season. Or maybe not? I'm not sure, that whole bit about the universe ending and restarting really confused me as to what did or did not happen.
either way, it all culminates in a pretty nice ending. The effects for this episode were rather nice, aswell.
TL;DR It didn't really having anything wrong with it, but In the long run I don't think I see it being very memorable.

I liked the episode for all of the Amy Rory moments. I felt like a girl but, damn, I can't count how many times I said "awww Rory" tonight. Also, this was the first time I was actually able to watch Doctor Who on tv!
And next week's episode looks fantastic.

I really liked this episode.
The only problem I had with it was old Amy fighting the antibiotibots at the end. There wasn't anything wrong with it in particular. I sometimes have trouble suspending my disbelief, causing me to wonder how awkward it must have been to watch a girl dressed as an older woman in make-shift armour kick around tactlessly at other humans dressed in iPod suits. That's my own fault, I guess.
There was a good amount of everything without, again, using flashing red arrows to point at the season's obvious end.

I always liked that bit because that was David's Doctor. Puts a smile on my face when I hear him say that.
And totally unrelated, but 1. I never realized there was a Law & Order UK and 2. Martha Jones and the 5th Doctor are both on it. WHAT?

Also while they veered a little hard and crashed inelegantly into the fourth wall a bit hard there, it still was neat, and they let Tennant say something...oh damn it the old doc pegged it right, he is a damn fan.
that's because it isn't originally in there, they just put it in there because the tardis's shields were down and it would allow something to crash into it. also it confuses me a bit because the doctor basically tells himself that he has a run-in with the master which (assuming the special was canon) would defeat the purpose of the bad wolf keeping cpt. jack alive long enough to be come the face of boe and tell the doctor he isn't the only timelord left. also tennant has been watching dw since he was like 3, if any doctor has the right to break the 4th wall in a situation like that, it's him.

anyone watch "Closing Time"? i think it exceeded my expectations. although i was a little disappointed that the cybermen ship was abandoned and wasn't the very beginning of a full scale attack on earth. it seems as if lately the doctor's only been tying up loose ends, there hasn't really been an active threat against the doctor basically since "Let's Kill Hitler". everything lately boils down to an accident or a misunderstanding. in "Night Terrors" the parents didn't know about george's powers, in "The Girl Who Waited" they got stuck in a medical facility with robots who weren't equipped to deal with humans, in "The God Complex" they got pulled into a malfunctioning prison/maze, etc.
the episode sets us up nicely for the finale though when they show river after becoming a doctor, where she is ordered to kill the doctor in the astronaut suit by the silence and madame kovarian. how do you guys think the doctor will escape his death? i'm thinking that river will change the timeline by stopping herself from killing the doctor (like how young amy convinced old amy to help and changed the timeline in "The Girl Who Waited"). there's definitely going to be some previously unknown factor revealed that will change everything. i'm willing to bet that the doctor is going to be upset that he can't end it after he's convinced himself that he wants to, series 7 will probably start out with him being angry and going and having fun like 10 did before "The End of Time"

i don't know if moffat would try that, he seems to be getting away from RTD era who. i'm thinking that something that happened during the series is going to be utilized, that's usually what ends up happening. series 1 was the bad wolf, series 2 had the cybermen, series 3 was the fob watch, series 4 had bees disappearing, the specials had the 4 knocks, and series 5 had the cracks on the walls. i'm thinking this is going to be something like series 3 where a major part of what happens is explained in a previous episode and we see it again in the finale. i've read into this a lot which is unusual for me since i like to sit back and watch what happens, but i want to know pretty badly. i know moffat won't just end the show, especially since details of the christmas special have already come out and matt smith is signed on for series 7.

I'm still on the Third Doctor. I decided that I am going to pop into this thread and talk about Classic Who every once in a while, and none of you nu-Who fans will know what I'm talking about. And then I will feel more cultured and pompous because my knowledge of Doctor Who is more classical than yours.
I most recently watched The Three Doctors, and it was amazing. It's unfortunate that Hartnell had such a small role, due to his being ancient at the time of filming, but the serial is definitely worth watching just to see the return of the Second Doctor. The Third Doctor's seriousness juxtaposed with the Second Doctor's silliness makes for good comedy.
I didn't like the Third Doctor much at first, but he has grown on me. I think he won me over with his sword fight against the Master in The Sea Devils. Incidentally, someone on youtube took that sword fight and replaced the swords with lightsabers. You should watch it:

Quote from: Asshatclock;1861919Any place I can watch the classic Doctor Who series ? I watched the ninth and tenth now.I'm sure if you type the name of any Doctor Who serial into Google Video search then you will find someone who uploaded every episode of the serial onto Youtube or Dailymotion (someone like one of these chaps). Some Classic Who is available on Netflix, which will obviously give you better quality than someone's youtube upload, but the selection is limited (Netflix in the States might have a bigger selection than Netflix here in Canada, but I know over here we only get 1 serial featuring the First Doctor, and none featuring the Daleks).
As you may or may not know, half of the black and white episodes are missing. Fortunately, some fans have created slide-show style reconstructions of these episodes, combining the audio (which still exists for every episode) with still images. If you are interested in watching any of these, here are some good reconstructions: link link link. Watching Doctor Who as a slide show may not sound very fun, but it's the only way to watch some very important episodes (including the First Doctor's last episode and the Second Doctor's first).
Of course, you can also buy them on DVD, but they are very overpriced ($26 for a DVD that only includes 4 episodes?? when you can get a full season of most TV shows for the same price?).
