MsSolo 1 Posted April 23, 2006 I know a lot of people hosting torrents at the moment, if people need their fix ^_^ Anyone caught the new series yet? So far, I'm not impressed. The scripts don't seem as tight, and I'm not sure of Tennant's doctor. He's a bit arrogant. And they keep running out of time to tidy up the plots. Too much time spent of the graphics and stunts. This is Doctor Who! We want cardboard scenery! We want blokes in masks! We want four episode plots with character growth and imagination and intelligence! I think I need to get hold of some more Old School Doctor Who. I've only actually seen Pertwee and T Baker. City of Death spoilt me, I think. Damn you, Douglas Adams! ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Paladin 0 Posted May 14, 2006 I've been watching the new series and I have to agree as far as character development goes, I think Tennant makes a fabulous Doctor, it's a refreshing change from the constant modiness and seemingly forced humour of the last series, David actually seems as if he's enjoying himself. Character development does pick up in certain ways during the School Reunion episode and Girl In The Fireplace, what with Rose learning about the other assistants and them in Girl In The Fireplace the Doctor yet again facing up to his near immortality. P.S. beeurd, did you ever catch the Christmas Invasion? Cause it was good. And did anyone see Rise Of The Cybermen I HATE MY PARENTS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted May 20, 2006 I love the new series! I think it's absolutely brilliant. The old one's great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Paladin 0 Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) Yeah, David Tennant gets some awesome lines, "What do the monsters have nightmares about?" "Me!" Fave episode so far, Rise of the Cybermen (saw it on repeat) Age of Steel seemed a little half arsed to me. Edited June 4, 2006 by Darth Paladin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorrel baas 0 Posted June 12, 2006 oh the last two parter was the best about the... good :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted June 14, 2006 I saw the second part of it. It was good. I wonder what the first half was like. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Paladin 0 Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) :lol: It was good, I was sort of dissapointed with the second part, the end didn't justify the build up in my opinion. Oh and Peter Kay's in the next one...... Dalek Bread!?!? :D Edited June 14, 2006 by Darth Paladin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) My Doctor Who fandom is now at about the level my Star Wars fandom was when I started GB! lol So far I've managed to get both of the new series, 10 of the old serials, and the TV movie on DVD! YAY! I want to make a Doctor Who website. lol My collection so far: The First Doctor - William Hartnell - 1963-66 An Unearthly Child The Daleks The Edge of Destruction The Dalek Invasion of Earth The Second Doctor - Patrick Troughton - 1966-69 The Mind Robber The Third Doctor - Jon Pertwee - 1970-74 Carnival of Monsters The Fourth Doctor - Tom Baker - 1974-81 The Sontaran Experiment Genesis of the Daleks Hand of Fear The Keeper of Traken Logopolis The Fifth Doctor - Peter Davison - 1982-84 Castrovalva Resurrection of the Daleks Earthshock The Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker - 1984-86 The Mark of the Rani Revelation of the Daleks The Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy - 1987-89 Remembrance of the Daleks The Eighth Doctor - Paul McGann - 1996 Doctor Who: The Movie The Ninth Doctor - Christopher Eccleston - 2005 2005 series boxset The Tenth Doctor - David Tennant - 2006-present 2006 series boxset They aren't all about the Daleks... It's just that I picked up those ones first because the Daleks are so awesome. My favourite Doctors have to be McCoy (prolly due to my fondness for the 80s, lol), Davison, and Tennant. I think McGann should have had a chance to do something other than the movie. I think he would have made a great Doctor in a series. Oh well. Least favourite is prolly Colin Baker, mainly because his coat is so hidious it makes me want to throw up... and his assistant Peri is so damn annoying. You should all get into it... In the words of the Daleks... RESISTANCE IS USELESS! Edited March 26, 2007 by Andy updated my collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel_Ghost 0 Posted March 2, 2007 I've seen Dr. Who. I think Tennant is a wonderful Actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted March 16, 2007 Got "The Beginning" boxset yesterday... So now I can go watch the first ever Doctor Who episode at last! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted March 21, 2007 Watching the second serial now... It's called "The Daleks". Its a pretty awesome story, I thought. Amazing to think that the Doctors most famous enemy was also the first alien race seen in the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted April 3, 2007 W00t new series got off to an alright start (depending on who you talk to it was either crap or awesome, so I'm taking the middle ground and saying it was alright)! hehe next episode takes us back to visit a certain Mr Shakespeare!

Bad furday 57 Posted April 3, 2007 Oh noes, not that Billy Shakespeare! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted April 4, 2007 Shakespeare is teh awesomest. interestingly enough, there's a HUGE authorship controversy about whether or not the man history books say is William Shakespeare actually wrote the plays. but that's another discussion for another topic. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Gridlock is the 727th episode of Doctor Who. This will break the record held by the various series in the Star Trek franchise. They amassed a combined total of 726 episodes between them. w00t! Edited April 16, 2007 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted September 13, 2007 So, after reading a friend's Doctor Who fic, I finally gave in and watched the three episodes available on my flight home from England. I've now seen a range of episodes (although nowhere near in order), with both Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant as the Doctor, and BBCAmerica just last week started airing Torchwood, so I've seen the first episode of that. Haven't gotten in to any of the older Doctors yet (aside from having a fixation on Tom Baker's scarf), but I figure it's only a matter of time. And the Doctor just quoted The Lion King to aliens trying to take over Earth. I think I just pulled something laughing so hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
