emrys 0 Posted April 8, 2008 partners in crime was alright... donna and the doctor were good in it though. the villian was abit silly though. thought that could have gone further but meh. never mind... and WTF rose at the end!? wasn't expecting that so early on. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted April 19, 2008 Fires of Pompeii was a really good episode I thought. Moran is pretty good. It did hark back a lot to the old days of Doctor Who, I thought. A lot of silly moments, such as the Doctor not realising he wasn't in Rome until the last minute... You'd think he'd have got the hang of the TARDIS after around 900 years... Just because in the Xmas special he said he was 903 years old doesn't mean he is: he's lied about his age before... Anyways the tone of this episode was a lot darker than the first of the series... And I thought Tate did a really good job! My favourite scene is the ones with Lucius Petrus Dextrus and Evelina are doing there whole soothsaying bit about the Doctor, and he's like WTF. Loved the sly reference to the 1965 serial The Romans, where the Doctor had a hand in the Great Fire of Rome... and that wasn't the first time the TARDIS has been mistaken for a piece of modern art - that's a deliberate reference to the 1979 serial City of Death (written by none other than Douglas Adams), which happens to be Moran's favourite classic story. Also, the comedy moments of the water pistol, "I'm Spartacus", and TKMaxximus to name a few. What did anyone else think of this episode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted April 21, 2008 I saw bits of it... haven't watched it all the way through yet... looks pretty scary in a classic Who kinda way... this season is looking good! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Sontarans return! They looked pretty good in the trailer so lets hope they stay true to the characters... Wonder if they are still at war with the Rutan? lol And... MARTHA!! Yay Looking forward to some Martha and Donna scenes... should be "interesting". lol Edited April 21, 2008 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted April 23, 2008 Everyone seems to like Rose for some odd reason, lol. My favourite companion is probably Adric. Even though most other people don't like him, lol. My least favourite is probably Peri. She was so bloody annoying lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted April 27, 2008 I was looking for Doctor Who avatars for the gallery... And while I haven't found any I like for the site yet, I did find these: http://www.kittensdirect.com/titleavatars.html :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 2, 2008 I liked Eccleston. Though, I guess I didn't really watch much of the others. I like the actor, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted May 8, 2008 I got into the Doctor with Rose, so I had nothing against her. But then my friend Del starting ranting at me about what a chav she is. Also, about how the Rose era suddenly 'sexified' the Doctor (although that's more a NuWho in general thing than a Rose thing IMO). She holds a grudge against Billie Piper for inflicting the UK with her pop albums in the late nineties. And ever since then I find myself thinking "oh, chavtastic" every time I watch an episode with her. I like Martha much more now that she's not mooning after the Doctor. Both on Doctor Who and Torchwood she's more confident, less "le sigh!". But during her season I was... impressed by Freema, but not lovin' the character so much. I adore Donna, though. It's good for the doctor to have a grown-up companion! And, I share a graphic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 8, 2008 I do like Donna, and I don't see what all the fuss was over Rose... Meh! In the UK Donna is either a 'love her or hate her' person. As a lot of people dislike Catherine Tate for her comedy show. But It's not really fair to judge her on that. Her role in Who shows that there is more to her. I think she's been great so far this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted May 8, 2008 I'd have to agree, based on the episodes I've seen so far. wait wait.. *stands on the side with the 'Love Her' banners* :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 8, 2008 Oh cool, so you don't have to wait forever this time round, then?! I LOVED that scene where they are 'talking' through the windows, and Mrs Foster turns round and says "am I interrupting you?" hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted May 8, 2008 Yes...it's quite nice tuning in every friday, even if it is...what, almost a week behind? And the windows bit was my fave too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted May 12, 2008 I've noticed that PBS is showing Doctor Who once a week (forget which night), and I am wondering... If I start watching it, whereever it is, whichever series/season.. would I be confused? Am I better off just renting it and starting at the beginning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 12, 2008 It depends what season it is really... There is like over 700 episodes so that's a bit of catching up if you wanted to do it that way... lol You could probably get away with just jumping in, and using Google/Wikipedia to clue you in on things you didn't get, lol.

Mara 29 Posted May 12, 2008 Hmm.. all right. I had been wondering. Sometimes shows like that, I get lost in pretty well. Maybe I'll give it a try or at least figure out which season they're in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 12, 2008 There should be the name of the current story at the beginning of the episode, so if you need a hand figuring out where it is let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
