It was generally classed as a reboot but *sigh*Originally Posted by Bastian
The new series is kindaty.
Ok, the old series had wobbily sets and some bad scripting, but it's more often than not better than the dreadful acting (aside from Tennant & Eccleston), awful cyberman and more Deus Ex Machina than you can shake a stick at that occurs in the new series.
Seeing as how Batman, Casino Royale and BSG have been said..i'd like to add that The Incredible Hulk wasnt half bad...certainly better than Ang Lee's Hulk!
[Life is Eternity in a nutshell]
Dune to be remade
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SciFi Channel's remake was okay. I'm not gonna expect much from this.
Dr Who series with David Tennant and the guy before was a lot better than the 80's stuff

Really ?
I loved the 80's stuff.Tom Baker was the model for Dr Who imo.
This new stuff...no so much.
I hope it does well but it fails to do anything for me.
Apart from the Batman stuff and The Office. I wanna add Metroid: Zero Mission. I liked it a lot more than I did on the NES and it kept going after Mother Brain was destroyed.
I thought the second Chocolate Factory was miles superior than the first. It was far more closer to the book making it more original than the original, and I though Johnny Depp did a better job than Genie Wilder. The only things that made it not that true to the book was that it gave Wonker a back story (which wasn't too bad), and that it still contained that bad guy at the start. All in all a great film. (Also - did they mean to make Johnny look like he'd just been kicked out of a Michael Jackson contest, or was that just an accident?)
Wait a second. Is that Patrick Stewart in the background of that picture? The bald guy in between the two dudes fighting? I can't quite tell.
Anyway, the new Doctor Who and the old Doctor Who are both awesome, in their own ways. The new one does have a couple big problems, but I still think of them as one big show.
Problem #1: Cut the "the Doctor is merciful" crap. Yes, he is, but not that merciful. I mean, geez, he never had that much of a problem slaughtering Daleks before. Yes, he is now faced with the last remnants of their species (Again. And again. Oh, and yet again.), but seriously, it wouldn't be the first time he committed genocide, and it's the damned Daleks. How many more races do they have to wipe out in order to get back on his bad side? Every other enemy he faces, he wipes out without a problem, but the Daleks, his oldest, most implacable, most deadly, most psychotic enemy, and all of a sudden he's all "let's give peace a chance". Just kill the stupid things.
Problem #2: Cancel the Deus Ex Machina. The Bad Wolf, Torchwood, and Doctor/Donna arcs were fine. But don't overdo it. Stop dropping such painfully obvious hints about the season's final episodes throughout the season, and stop having new transcendent powers crap being pulled out to finish off the big bad at the end.
Problem #3: Drop the romantic hints. The Doctor is a nine hundred fifty year old alien. He is not going to fall for the first pretty faced human he meets. Look back on the old series, the Doctor never had a romantic connection with any of his companions. Besides, if he ever were to have a real love interest, it would pretty much have to be another Time Lord (which, given what we've seen so far, wouldn't be too surprising. I've even figured out how to bring back Romana [Romana 1, of course. Romana 2 was not worth bringing back]).
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation.

He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Patrick Stewart was Duncan, the Mu'adib's teacher in Dune.
Hated the Doctor Donna arch.. but maybe it is because I can't stand her.. My main passtime on her episodes is to keep hoping for her to dieAnd ya, daleks have more lives than the energizer bunny.. wtf.. just die already!

Skyblade - different Doctors are different, that's the point. Ecclestone's Doctor tortured a Dalek, Tennant wasn't Ecclestone, and he wasn't any of the others before him. Doubtless Matt Smith will be different too.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
It's annoying to watch him almost fail and get the universe nearly wiped out again and again because he is refusing to kill the Daleks, which is something none of the other Doctors would have ever blinked at. They may all be different, but they all have some shared traits as well. Both Tennant and Eccleston let the Daleks go. Which is ironic, since in one of his comments to another enemy, Tennant says "I'm so old now. I used to have so much mercy". And he wiped them out without a qualm. What, is he saving it for the one enemy that least deserves it?
And I have a feeling that Matt Smith is going to be terrible. As bad as Colin Baker, if not worse.

Ya, he looks to young to be "The Doctor". And way too pretty. Is like they got a boy band singer to be DR.
