Doctor Who

Recommended Posts

Yep, basically since it began again. Have loved every minute.

 

Only problem is that authoring issue on a couple of episodes. It's only noticiable in dark scenes, but one of the episodes it is in is dark near constantly so it's fairly noticiable. Very distracting. I know some people are checking with BBC DVD to see if they'll fix it, such as with past DVD releases with errors

Just watched the "Night and the Doctor" shorts...they're really good. Small selfenclosed stories on the TARDIS, a bit fun and ridiculous but also very touching.

 

I recommend you all find them, unfortunately BBC flags all the youtube ones so I'm unsure as to where you can find them

Steven Moffat has teased that "The final days of the ponds are coming during the next series. Then the doctor will meet a new friend".

 

Seen it on the offical Doctor Who twitter feed and on their facebook page and they have also said more information will be revealed tomorrow.

 

So a new companion at some point next series, I don't want Amy to go :(

 

It also makes me wonder how much longer they will keep the River Song angle going, in theory they could keep that going for many series to come due to time travel but I would assume they would bring it to a close at some point.

Thing with River Song is that we know that she meets multiple Doctors, not just 10 and 11 (Moffat said she met 10 more during the time between Waters of Mars and End of Time) so we're not done with her

 

Her appearances don't have to be major "ZOMG IT'S RIVER" events

 

The thing with the Amy & Rory I don't get is why they're being brought back...they had a rather nice end in Season Six...so why bring them back

Probably because you find her attractive?
That's really the only reason to like her.

So did anyone watch the christmas special?

 

I watched it on boxing day (had it recorded), enjoyed it a lot actually (I never get my hopes high for a christmas special), full of christmas cheese but was fun and a good laugh with a nice touching ending! :)

Felt it was a bit slow to start, but I had a 1 year old constantly making noise so I couldn't really focus on it too much...going to rewatch in a couple of days but I did enjoy it.

The most ridiculous intro ever (the first few minutes) but I enjoyed the rest of the episode. Bit cheesy and sappy but it's Christmas and it's going to be heavily family-oriented viewing... generally good but they've had better Christmas specials.

I had no expectations of it other than it was going to be a perfectly watchable Christmas special, so I wasn't dissappointed by it. :)

 

Quite enjoyed Bill Bailey's cameo role in it. :p

Let's just retcon the mythos and hope nobody notices: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/oct/12/doctor-who-immortal-reveals-bbc?INTCMP=SRCH

 

Not surprised to be honest but you'd think in a sci-fi show they'd make a big sci-fi deal about it.

Old news plus the regeneration limit was imposed by the Time Lords and broken by them loads. Time Lords are now gone so logic dictates that the limit is also gone

Was still rubbish they didn't write it into the main show.

 

Also the Time Lords aren't gone, they're just back sealed where they were before no?

It was a throwaway comment The Doctor made to avoid actually answering the question. It meant nothing.

I assume when its actually needed then we'll get a proper explanation in the actual show, otherwise its not really necessary yet.

They're dead. It's just, before they died, they attempted escape as per The End of Time. Chronologically for them, that was before The Doctor killed all of them and the Daleks.

I just had to come ask after it got voted second best tv of the year... do people actually watch this for real? I mean, you actually like it? Not in a joke "so bad it's good" B-Movie way?

I'm baffled... oO

I honestly do not understand this, if such is the truth...

 

I'm being dead serious, here, not taking the piss or anything... just actually curious.

Yes, I watch Doctor Who and enjoy it. It's good television and can run any type of story easily. The acting is superb. The stories are great. The time travel is awesome and Karen Gillan is hot.
