Doctor Who

[Big D]

Great series - I was passingly familiar with it before the revival, and I've really got into it since then. I like that Doctor Who's not afraid to push boundaries that more 'mainstream' sci-fi wouldn't dare go near. Sure it's sometimes pretty whimsical or far-fetched, but they get some damn fine stories out of it. A couple of people have mentioned the episode 'Blink', with the Weeping Angel assassins. The whole concept behind those beings is just so 'out there' and detached from our conception of reality, it was just a great idea in a great story.

Then, of course, there's the character stuff - which really drives the series across its numerous unrelated stories. It seems almost inevitable that Rose is going to reappear at some point, which should be interesting to say the least. But it'd also be nice to see more companions, too - in the old days, the Doctor sometimes had several companions of either gender, which makes for more of a mix than the recent 'one female companion' deal.

We're still waiting for the Catherine Tate episodes in my country, but hopefully it won't be long now.

I'm also so geeky, I even modeled the TARDIS in 3d.

This looks great.

Catherine Tate hasn't been bad so far, and at least we're not going to see a repeat of the "oh I'm so in love with him but he won't look at me *sigh*" storylines that Rose and Martha had.

I miss Rose, it was just more fun with her around. but i guess that couldn't last forever

That's why I didn't like Martha much. She just complained about how the Doctor missed Rose and how she wished he would love her wah. She annoyed me. xD

Martha didn't bother me that much, but I think Donna is getting a bit annoying.

(SPOILER)Especially in that volcanoe episode, she was bragging to the Doctor to save everyone. She just wouldn't shut up about it, then betrayed the Doctor and went and told them.

There is a positive correlation between my hatred for Catherine Tate and the more I see her in shows. Nice lady, 'n' all, just really crap.

And from the two episodes seen so far, it's not as good as t'others.

Quick question: what do you (anyone who feels like answering) think the relevance of chucking the Sonic Pen into the bin in the first one was? The Doctor Who Crew usually put little things like that in episodes that turn into some future episode. I reckon Donna's mum's gonna get it, seeing as how Donna said to "look in a bin", and Rose isn't there to tell her what bin. Just a thought. Or it could just be throwing it away. Who knows.

Omg me and you think alike. I thought the exact same thing when he threw it in the bin.

OMG LET'S START A NEW FORUM! :bigbiggri

(SPOILER)Well, if you knew that thousands of people were gonna die, would you not want to try and save them if you knew that you could help them? Making a huge disaster less disastrous. I guess I don't find it that bad, because I can see why she was so... adamant about it.

It's fairly obvious that if you change something like the Pompeii business, it'll have massive great consequences on the future. I could watch something like that happening and only think "Hmm...that really sucks."

I imagine it'd be different if my family were currently living in Pompeii, or something, but they're not. So happy days.

However, in the world of Doctor Who, they don't have Doctor Who on TV, so maybe they wouldn't understand all this time travel lark as much as we do.

Martha was the best side kick ever, everyone else pales in comparison.

Martha > Rose

The Fifth Doctor rocks, as did Nyssa.

Hello fellow person who likes Martha. We should start our own club!

Yeah, I know that it'd have horrible consequences. Part of me would probably still want to save those people. xD But oh well.

[Quindiana Jones]

Well, yeah. Most people would want to save everyone. Because Pompeii really sucked, or so I've heard.

But Donna should just STFU and listen to the ruddy Time Lord. He didn't get that title by collecting bottlecaps.

[Loony BoB]

Rose was good, Martha was better, Donna is annoying, David Tennant's doctor is pretty damn cool but nothing will ever compare to Christopher Eccleston's version of the ol' Timelord. <i>Fantastic!</i>

[Quindiana Jones]

"Lots of places have a Nooooorth!". First episode on the first (recent) series, and I still remember that one line. In fact, most of the memorable lines are Eccleston's. I especially like it when he told off the Gas Mask kids in the WW2 one.

Not poo pooing David Tennant or anything. He's a fantastic actor. When Rose "died", his face actually looked like the face of a 900 year old Time Lord who had lost yet another companion and was setting himself up to being alone again. Ruddy brilliant.
