I know we've probably had a topic on this before, but I'm starting a new one because I did not want to keep hijacking the "Right to Know" thread. AHEM.

And Billie Piper is the greatest thing ever.

She is so damn cute, I want to eat her up. Everyone keeps telling me that Martha is better, but I am pretty sure that is a big fat lie.

(And I've never seen previous doctors... so far I like Eccleston but I know Tennant will be my favorite, I think.)

Eccleston was a good "re-boot" for the series. �For something like... �crap, 40 some odd years before him, they seemed locked into this singular image of the Doctor being this eccentric old man, dressed in roughly the same clothes, just different cuts and colors, sometimes getting to be downright clownish in the cases of Colin Baker and Patrick Throughton.

The only drawback to the most recent two (much younger looking) Doctors is that they are dangerously close to forgetting that he is, indeed, about 1000 years old.

Really? I thought they did an excellent job with keeping a really mad feel to it, that he's sort of nuts because he's seen it all but that he also has this really peculiar and particular sympathy because of that fact. I feel like Tennant in particular (so far) does a really great job with the zany factor, that this guy is really not quite right in the head and that he could bite you. They both have this high-voltage friendliness that's just frightening and off-putting, which I love.

But then again, I don't know much about vintage Dr. Who. (Yeah, that's what we're calling it.)

I enjoyed Rose and would have liked to see her continue. But her final�(?) was heart wrenching and well executed. ("My name is Rose Tyler. And this is the story of how I died.")

Martha had a nice story arc, but I felt she connected a little too easily with the Doctor. You know, once she got rid of her baggage. (You can catch up with her this Saturday on BBC America's "Torchwood".)

I'm not looking forward to the return of "The Bride" for the coming season. Her Christmas episode proved her to be relatively annoying.

Eccelston and Tennant each bring a different flavor to the Doctor. But, I understand that's the way it is planned. I never watched the original series. So I don't have a real point of reference.

The fun of it is the whole low budget, clunky feel of the escapades. The wacky costumes and rubber masks. Still, they dare to do an episode where the main cast only appears for a couple of minutes and the rest of the show is devoted to a woman we've never met before. And neither have the Doctor and Martha... yet. (Ah, time travel!)

Oh for the days on Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison and Tom Baker, the 3 Dr's I grew up with. They had K9 the robot dog and some very dodgy female companions keeping them company in the TARDIS.

Throw in the Master, the Cybermen, the Daleks et al and this was required Saturday evening viewing!

Just for the Pretender: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WxB1gB6K-2A (Don't you sass me about Catherine "the Bride" Tate. I love her. And my friends and I quote this sketch incessantly.)

Rose is coming back, at any rate, which I am glad of-- I don't know how well I'd have made it through the series if I didn't have that information. She really is... seriously one of my favorite characters ever.

It reminds me of when I used to watch Xena when I was in junior high. (Yeah, I did. And so did some of you, don't lie.) It's really campy and it pokes fun at itself, but it also has a LOT of heart and genuine love put into it. I love that David Tennant used to watch the series when he was little and wanted to grow up and play the Doctor on television. I think that's the best thing ever.

Blorski-- THE DALEKS. THEY KILL ME. I have this... oh lord, it's sort of like when people get so fascinated with something they hate that they come back around and start to love it again. That is me and Daleks. (My giddy love-hate for them was sealed when my dad came in last night while I was watching an episode, said "Wait, hold on, Daleks can do STAIRS now? Huh." and left the room. MY DAD KNOWS ABOUT DR WHO. So funny to me.)

I really don't get that "mad" feel from Eccleston as much as I did from Colin Baker (my personal fave ever since someone at a convention told me I looked a bit like him). Energetic and driven, maybe, but not mad.

Tennant... just seems like he's running on youthful enthusiasm, a good thing, but not quite the same.

Yes. It seems Tom Baker set the standard that all the following Doctors were lined up against.

Plus, as much as I like Rose for being one companion who doesn't seem like she's there to play the "straight man" to the Doctor's one-liners all the time, I really miss Sarah Jane and Leela. Sort of miss Peri from the Colin Baker years, but again, her job also seemed to be to stand around looking dumbfounded at his references.

Definitely miss the ever-growing scarf.

It's comes on BBC, I know... does it come on the Sci-Fi channel too? I'm not sure, actually-- I've been watching it on DVD and I have no idea when it comes on regularly.

THat reminds me of a cartoon I read where an army of Daleks come to a set of stairs and one says, "Well, this buggers our plans a bit..."

Glad the new producers recognized the problem, and have a means to fix that little glitch in their menace factor.

Yes. That was sort of the appeal of Doctor Who over, say, Star Trek. It seemed for a while that American Sci-fi was all about special effects. Star Trek: the Next Generation didn't always help that perception. I (*heart*) BBC-style sci-fi because, yeah, the sfx can be cheesy (much better in recent years, actually), but shows like Doctor Who and Red Dwarf are actual science fiction stories with plots revolving around certain scientific concepts, rather than westerns set in outer space.

I've liked Doctor Who too for the characters. Very vividly written with clear, distictive physicalities that go beyond prosthetics and speaking in monotones to denote an "alien."

I can't ever really decide if I think the Daleks would be scarier if they had very cool, smooth, monotone robot-voices or if the harsh and startling (albeit REALLY WEIRD) robot voice is the better alternative.

I just have this need to FIX them. THEY ARE THE CHIEF VILLAINS AND THEY ARE SORT OF LAME, THEY NEED FIXING.

But when you suspend your disbelief and everything, they really are quite a scary notion.

I think I see your point. In the earlier episodes, there were very menacing, seeing them sort of gliding across the floor toward the camera POV, but from some of the footage I've seen of them levitating up stairs, they look rather clunky and awkward.

That bottom half needs to perhaps be more streamlined, maybe more of an inverted tapering toward the end.

Anyone here watch TORCHWOOD with Captain Jack Harkness.... The Doctor Who spin off? (Also an anagram). Martha Jones is doing a two week guest spot on it. TORCHWOOD is really the sexed up, violent, gritty adult version of the Doctors universe, since they still bill Dr Who as a family/children's show. But back to the Doctor, Rose, Martha and the Bride will be in the TARDIS at the same time! Or did you already cover that?
P.S. Im so glad to see other people know classic Dr companions! Someone mentioned Leela the savage and I almost died! YAY! Now if only I could find someone who knows The Prisoner...

You might actually like Dr Who, I think. Some parts of it remind me of your type of humor and the things you use in your movies.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Trying to think of a good "entry point" for getting into Doctor Who... you could probably go with the start of the Eccleston years and carry on through the current series. You'll love it!

Dune... be careful which version you see... you're talking the David Lynch one, right, or the Sci-Fi channel mini-series? I haven't seen the mini yet, but I do recommend, for the sake of clarity, as many different "cuts" and editions of the Lynch Dune as you can. He didn't like the edited for television version, but it might have a few redeeming features you might like. Will never get over Brad Douriff chomping down on the scenery as Piter deVries.

And we're also watching Torchwood. I have a mad crush on Capt. Jack. What is this thing I have for Captains?

I LOVE and own both Dune Sci-Fi miniseries -- they did the first three books in two chunks: Dune for the first one, and Dune Messiah and Children of Dune for the second one.

Btw, if you're renting the first one, depending on what you prefer, be aware that there's a regular cut and director's cut. I.E. the director's cut is the one they didn't show on the Scifi channel -- the version with lots of boobies. (the version I accidentally bought)

With "Dune",it's just any version,or the book. Chances are the first filmI see will be Peter Berg's upcoming remake.

Nothing much to it. When the fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) came out of regeneration, he was terribly unstable (nothing new to report there), and after a few different off-beat costumes, he finally settled on a look which...

According to the creators of the show and Baker, the character's look was originally based on paintings and posters by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec of his friend, Aristide Bruant, a singer and nightclub owner whose trademark was a black cloak and long red scarf.

The scarf varied in length from season to season, but the overall impression, especially after his costume went to an overall scarlet theme (?, indeed), was that the scarf seemed to keep getting longer and longer all the time, for no reason that I remember anyone mentioning, even in passing.

Peter Davidson's Doctor even spends a good deal of time in his first episode literally picking the thing apart.

Simply, it was a running gag.

All right, I'm on "School Reunion" and I have to say I'm kind of rolling my eyes. I totally get that they're paying homage to the old stuff and how it has an effect on the new stuff, but LET THE 70s CAMP GO, DOCTOR WHO.

All the same, it was kind of cool to see one of the old companions show back up-- Sarah Jane seems neat. It's just the damn dog.

But on the bright side, I really love David Tennant. Everything that comes out of his mouth is memorable. His delivery is just so fantastic.

YAY Doctor Who! I pop in after a bit of a forced hiatus from the boards and you're talking about my favorite character ever! I literally grew up with the good Doctor, watching nightly at 10:30 on channel 7. I was a charter member of the now defunct Doctor Who Fan Club of America (I still have my official club button, made with a liquid crystal backing that changes colors as the temperature changes).

I LOVED LOVED LOVED Eccelston's Doctor, even dusted off my old leather car coat in emulation (and it's much more practical than the scarf). Sadly I've only been able to watch him, as I won't give Comcast another cent of my money, and haven't wanted to shell out for a dish either. They ran Eccelston's season this last year on channel 7, and I enjoyed introducing my son to them. I'm waiting anxiously for the Tennant series to start there as well. I did catch his first couple of episodes with Martha, but apart from that, I've not gotten to see him. I just need to pick up the DVDs, that's all.

Tell me what the deal with the scarf is? I've heard of it before, but I'm too lazy to look it up... does the Doctor knit?

(If that is true, I will be so happy.)

Nothing much to it. When the fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) came out of regeneration, he was terribly unstable (nothing new to report there), and after a few different off-beat costumes, he finally settled on a look which...

I think the official, reported length was 14 or 15 feet for the multi-colored one (and I used to have the knitting pattern for said scarf) and that, or slightly longer, for the red scarf.

No, you can't. K-9 ruled. Mk. I, anyway. Mk. II was a bit dodgy (didn't like the higher voice), but Mk. III almost made up for it all.

I admit I didn't care much for Tegan, what I remember of her. Pity, because I wanted to name one of my daughters that.

You know what that series is going to be like? It's going to be like when Joey had his own series on Friends. Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. That is what that's going to be like.

A little something for the Captain Jack fans among us. This was from the British reality/actor search show "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" (I think that's what it was called).

Season three is totally losing me. It's not just the fact that Rose is gone (and that I am not particularly liking Martha)... it's just... what the hell is with these lame Dalek-evolution episodes? Does it pick up after this? Because this isn't even fun camp, like Doctor Who usually is-- you know, that kind of camp that works because everyone's heart is totally in it. This is not even fun camp. This is bad camp, this is apathetic lame stuff. Even the actors don't really seem to care.

These episodes are bad. If all of season three is like this, I'm going to have a hard time.

And the great part about those episodes is that in the season finale of Torchwood series 1, you know he runs off with the doctor for the Doctor Who series 3 episodes. And I heard that Martha Jones is on Torchwood series 2. I love that they cross over like that!

Martha did indeed return the favor for three eps of Torchwood series 2. They even through her name into the opening credits with the regular cast.

The unfortunate thing is that in the third episode she was completely wasted. The first two had her working well with the crew. And she did get a bit of a snog with Captain Jack on her way out. Maybe she'll show up to do the same when Captain John returns in a few weeks.

There is a line of figures out there. On the high end, price-wise. But they do have nice detail. The standards... Daleks, Cybermen and a few of the other baddies over the years. There are also a couple of nice Tardis toys to go with the figures. Though the outside detail is quite nice, the insides consist of stickers on the inner walls.

Oh you guys, can I just say that I was stupid and read some spoilers for the rest of this season (I couldn't help it, I was scared for Donna), and... gosh darn it. This show is just not pleasing me anymore since Billie Piper left. It just seems to have lost something in a big way that I don't think it can ever get back and it's heartbreaking. As much as I love Catherine Tate and as much heart as she brought back to the show after FREAKING FREEMA AGYEMAN ruined everything... I don't know. I just don't know.

Maybe things will get better after Moffatt takes the wheel. He's always very good when he writes episodes.

Also, I read that James Nesbitt is a potential choice for an eleventh Doctor? I would pee my pants. I love him.

I'm a bit disappointed that they've made Donna so serious. Most of Catharine Tate's charm is that she's frakkin hilarious. I mean it's great that she has such range and all, but I wish they would give her more funny bits.

Btw, I heard somewhere that David Tennant is dating the woman who plays his "daughter" on the show (I don't count that as a spoiler since the name of the episode is "Doctor's Daughter"). In fact, apparently he's notorious for dating girls from the show (Sophia Myles being the most well known and longest relationship).

I read that too! And wow, there's an age difference there-- she's like 24 and he's 37. I mean, sure, whatever, but DAVID. YOU SCANDALOUS MAN.

And I agree-- the season started out pretty lighthearted and it looked like it would just be such a fun romp, and then it got to the Pompeii episode and stuff and I was sort of disappointed. I really like Donna's character a LOT, but yes, they need to let David Tennant and Catherine Tate have the run of the funny, because they are BRILLIANT together.

Kaylee, neither one of us has any business throwing stones on this particular scandalous behavior. (In separate instances, people. No rumor mongering starting here. Move along.)

Shhh. Pretender. Our love is secret.

(and anyway I've never done anything that scandalous. Last boyfriend was two years younger, the one before that I think maybe six years older. THAT IS NOT AS MANY AS 37 MINUS 24.)

To her credit, she does has a six-year-old son or something.

Isn't she the real-life daughter of one of the former doctors? I can't remember which one.

Yep! It's Peter Davidson, who also happens to be David Tennant's favorite Doctor and the one he did the "Children in Need" special with. I'm sure David's on cloud nine right now!

Oh for CUTE. That Children In Need special made me cry, I totally admit it-- I thought it was about the sweetest, most sincere thing. I love things like that, where how much an actor's job means to them just shines through so much.

But they have full episodes of BSG on hulu and scifi.com so you really have no excuse Wink

. Ron Moore has even been doing a commentary track for them! His commentaries are always pretty awesome (yadda yadda *swill of scotch* yadda yadda).

I wish they would do the same for Doctor Who...

P.S. congrats on going "�ber" just now!

Honestly, that was how I felt about commentary tracks before I found out "The Beard" felt that way, and then I felt kinf vindicated when I discovered it was one more area where he and I think alike.

That is an upsetting remark. I have never stalked a man in my life.

Seriously, a big part of the reason I'm such a Spielberg fan is that our tastes, values and outlooks are so in synch.

They still come on every week, you know... just er, um. Get caught up. And then they won't come on every week anymore... okay, I know it's nearly the end of the season, but... but... BUT. COME ON. BE SERIOUS.

All the stuff with Jack/Ten or Jack/Nine is from prior seasons of Doctor Who, SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH THEM. But there is much of the gay lovefest on Torchwood, wot wot.

What I want to know is how the cliffhanger managed not to get leaked to the press. Very impressive, indeed.

Last night I had a dream that I joined the cast of Spring Awakening and was in rehearsals for it, and then something totally Doctor Who-ish happened and the Doctor showed up, but I can't remember after that.

I've had a couple Who-related dreams, but a lady never tells. Wink

No, I'm totally kidding. I HAVE had a couple but they are always infinitely bizarre and not sexy at all, much to everyone's dismay, I'm sure.

Hmm. And I just woke up from a power nap where I dreamed that I was at work when I saw the Doctor walk past, obviously after something. I followed at the back of his small group as he led us up a stair well. He peeked around a corner holding his sonic screwdriver, there was a laser sound, and he drew his head back, now with a cybernetic eye. He charged onward as whatever it was zapped people piece by piece and changed them into aliens - someone went on up the stairs after him with a Roswell alien head. I decided it was prudent for my to drift back down to my desk, where all the keys of my keyboard promptly fell off, and I put one of them in my mouth while trying to remember were 'c' went.

Then someone touched my shoulder and began speaking to me, but I refused to look because I was sure he was alien. That's when I jerked awake.

Perhaps it's not the best idea to go on a 3 season Who-glut right now...?

Because he's charming in that British way where a person is so smart and interesting and clever that their looks don't matter anymore. Cause when you really look at him, he kinda looks like he's made out of plastic.

I think Doctor Who is a magic key at work. I've been there since mid-April and no one's really said so much as boo to me except about business. Two and a half months or so.

I put a picture of Donna as my inter-office chat avatar and in two days 4 people have started up conversations with me, one even in the lunchroom in person. Sure it's just water-cooler talk about the show, but that's more notice than they took before. One of them even joked that you get nerd points for liking Doctor Who at bluehost.

Thank you Doctor.

Technically, shouldn't your tears stream out in front of you? Otherwise you may want to have those tear ducts relocated. Grin

They are planning four telefilms between now and series 5 (or 31 depending on the clock you watch). But who knows if and when they'll show up on American television.

With a simple line drawing I shall illustrate the physics of tears streaming out behind a person. Like so:

I'm certainly looking forward to the telefilms, but I have a feeling nothing will ever be the same again.

I have VERY mixed feelings about the other Doctor. I think maybe she does too. There's something not right about that.

I agree. They're not very strong characters, particularly Mickey. And I don't see either of them amenable to having sex with Captain Jack, which is a Torchwood requisite.

I completely agree there. It's bizarre. I will have to straighten out my thoughts better. (YAY SPIKER YOU ARE CAUGHT UP!)

And I love Mickey! I think it'd be fun to see him on Torchwood! And if they're keeping Martha that's probably the best thing they could do for her. (Wtf, how did Freema Agyeman get such a sweet deal, appearing on Torchwood and everything? She is not that good.)

In truth, Torchwood isn't a particularly character driven show. Especially since the two most interesting characters are gone. Eve Myles is simply terrible as Gwen. If Martha coming in means less screen time for Gwen, I say open up the rift and let 'er rip!

And how much do I hate her right now for getting her very own pet Doctor? �A LOT. �THAT's how much.

I have VERY mixed feelings about the other Doctor. �I think maybe she does too. �There's something not right about that.

The kiss was HOT though.

My glee at having all of those people pilot the Tardis, let me show you it.

My trepidation at the intimation that Mickey and Martha may become part of the Torchwood team, let me show you that as well.

In truth, Torchwood isn't a particularly character driven show. Especially since the two most interesting characters are gone. Eve Myles is simply terrible as Gwen. If Martha coming in means less screen time for Gwen, I say open up the rift and let 'er rip!

*whisper* has Eve Myles ever done anything good? No seriously, I don't know. I guess I liked her in Doctor Who all those years ago, but I she MUST have done something, somewhere in her youth or childhood, that was good, or she couldn't have landed this gig. Right?

This is adorable:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsGzSz0KyNI

It's from the episode in season 3 where the Doctor disguises himself as a human named John Smith and falls in love with Jessica Hynes from "Spaced". It's Martha's Instructional video in full, which you only hear half of in the show. Further proof that David Tennant is frelling awesome.

I'M NOT HATIN' I've never even seen Torchwood. But so many people who follow it have said she's clunky and weird. As I said above, I quite liked her in her first Dr. Who appearance, and so I wonder what she's done in the past, because you can't end up on Torchwood if you're a hideous actress. So has she? That's my question.

It's just as you said. Eve impressed Russell T. Davies so much that he cast her in Torchwood.
Freema Agyeman got the part of Martha Jones in exactly the same way. She was in one of the Cyberman episodes.

Sometimes actor and role just do not mesh. I've never seen Eve Myles in anything but Torchwood, so my impression is that she's not that good in this role.

P.S. Did anyone watch "Midnight" thinking how awesome it would be on a stage?

Wow. Straight from the horse's mouth. I think it's a good time. Stephen Moffet will have a blank slate when he takes over the show from Russell T. Davies in 2010.

And now let the rampant speculation/lobbying for the next doctor begin!

My dream doctor would probably have to be Steve Coogan. But since that will never happen, my vote is for Patterson Joseph, who was brilliant as the Marquis de Carabas in "Neverwhere" and has already appeared in a couple of Doctor Who episodes (which is, of course, how Freema Agyeman got her gig).

David Tennant. *happy sigh* Roll Eyes

Roll Eyes

Crazy world, full of crazy contradictions like a child; first you drive me wild, and then you win my heart with your wicked art; one minute tender, gentle; then tempramental as a summer storm; just when I believe your heart's getting warmer. Your cold and your cruel, and I like a fool try to cope. Try to hang on to hope. Crazy world, everyday the same old roller coaster ride, but I've got my pride, I won't give in; even though I know I'll never win. Oh how I love this, crazy world! -- Henry Mancini

Just an extra dose of fanboy squee: So yeah, On the DVDs of series 4, the commentary for the MARVELOUS episode The Unicorn and The Wasp (the Agatha Christie one), is provided by none other than Felicity Kendal and Fenella Woolgar. No writers, no directors, no regulars, just those two wonderful, marvelous ladies.

*swoon*

So, just finished both seasons of Torchwood. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me, though it never really caught my imagination like Doctor Who does. Owen's plastic monkeyface did continue to be a source of irritation, but that can't be helped.

And what happened to Tosh in the finale made me cry, not only for her, but for our whole generation who are such magnificent people and seem to not be able to see it. And I know it's really a trans-generational thing, and we don't have to corner on the market, but it made me cry nevertheless.

And Ianto Jones in denims is about the best thing ever. Someone get me one for Christmas!

You would think they'd try and move away from the Tennant look. It's no fun if he regenerates into a similar-looking dude. Or do they look similar just to me?

Erg. I am not happy with this decision, but whatever. I guess I just have to trust that Moffat knows what he's doing.

So are they just going to make the Doctor regenerate younger and younger every time? Is he going to be a kid eventually???

I HONESTLY think it's just coincidental, I don't really think they're doing it on purpose-- Moffat said in the interview that he was looking for an older doctor and that Matt Smith just blew him away.

So the kid's got to be good. That's all I'm thinking.

Quirky. Two out of every three posts I see about the new doctor describe his looks as quirky. I don't see quirky?

Quirky is Eccleston with the ears and the nose. I have nothing bad to say about this Mister Smith Fellow, but I don't see the quirky everyone else seems to.

Quirky is Eccleston with the ears and the nose. �I have nothing bad to say about this Mister Smith Fellow, but I don't see the quirky everyone else seems to.

He is definitely quirky. Borrow "Ruby in the Smoke" or "Shadow in he North" (both with Billie Piper) from the library and you'll see what I mean. He is by no means good looking IMO.

Two more regenerations before he becomes Benjamin Button.

Technically speaking, he only has 2 regenerations left anyway. Time Lords are only supposed to have 12 regenerations. However, as has been pointed out repeatedly by the producers, he is the last of the Time Lords, so who knows what could happen? Not to mention that the Master is on something like his 15th or 16th regeneration (though he's forced most of those since #12 through some form of possession).

The skinny look is very British, at least currently, and reminds me of Tennant and Eckelston. If the dark suit with the t-shirt is his new general outfit, I like that as well.

His age is irrelevant to me, since a regeneration should make the Doctor younger... William Hartnell regenerated into Patrick Troughton, who was younger looking than Bill Hartnell, but wasn't truly young (the Doctor was meant to be more fatherly than sexy back in those days). The Time Lords forced Troughton to regenerate into John Pertwee, who was older looking again, but then it was supposed to be a punishment (they also disabled his TARDIS, stranding him in the 20th century). Pertwee's regeneration into Tom Baker made the most sense to me. Baker looked like a younger version of Pertwee anyway... Davidson was younger than Tom Baker, but Collin Baker was older than Davidson, so that was confusing, but then it wasn't the most pleasant of regenerations and he wasn't the most pleasant of Doctors. C. Baker's regeneration into Sylvester McCoy put them both at the same physical age, again, but by the time McCoy regenerated into Paul McGaan, he was much older, so it looked, again, like he simply got younger. From there, it worked that each Doctor was younger than his predecessor, and to go younger looking from Tennant, well...

It used to be exciting to see the new Doctor. But with Eckelston only playing the role for a season and Tennant's run being just 3, it seems too soon. I've only just fallen in love with Tennant's Doctor, and though I still have the 4th season to watch, it's sad to think of him gone now. Maybe if Smith's as good as they say he is, he can pull a Tom Baker and stay for a while. Though, after Tom Baker's record 8 seasons was followed by Davidson's short 2 seasons, the producers (largely I think to get rid of Collin Baker) determined that the average run for a Doctor should be just two years. Hopefully the current production team is amiable to a long run for an actor who wants to stay in the role.

Ain't It Cool reported that one of the front runners for the role was Chiwetel Ejiofor. Perhaps best known as The Operative in Serenity. While a good actor, his casting would have certainly gotten message boards going with more than just the quirky or younger chatter.

Indeed, one of the best villains to come out of the C. Baker/McCoy eras. I've been awaiting her return in the new series.

So, I've watched Hand of Fear, Hand of the Rani, Time of the Rani, and Ghost Light now. My first thought was HoleeCrap The Cheesiness! And I know, that's part of the fun, but I may have been spoiled by modern day television budgets. At any rate, the episode with the 6th Doctor reminded me of nothing, so much as the BBC miniseries of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with all the outdoor scenes on film, and the indoor on tape. Such were the eighties!

4th Doctor: He has a maturity that Ten sometimes lacks, but Ten has more finesse to my mind. The TARDIS interior under 4 was BEAUTIFUL, and I violently recalled seeing a bit of this show as a kid on PBS one day because that interior was familiar. The episode I saw was Sarah Jane's last, and she was just cute as a button. She was in striped overalls, and possessed for most of it, so her strong personality wasn't as on display as I was hoping, and I was more taken by her looks, which is a shame, since she was the first feminist-leaning companion. It was odd to see the young girl, and try to find the familiar version of Elizabeth Sladen's face in there

6th Doctor: I was off-put by him in the episode I saw him in, he was so superior and aloof. His coat was fab, though. I had to laugh at the pathetic attempts to knock him off a chain and into a mineshaft, though - 'At's it boys! Hit the shovel on the chain above him, and not on his fingers - wouldn't be sportin'!
With more time I could see him growing on me, but I much prefer his other regenerations.

7th Doctor: Saw his intro episode, and it was obvious and charming to see how obviously Sylvester McCoy is/was a comedian, he does it very well. I was more bothered by him later when he was being all mysterious at the end of Ace's story arc, though I know why he was, both in story and out. All the same, 7 made more sense to me at the beginning. I think he would have been my favorite, too before the New Who.

The Rani: is divine. I loved her in both the story arcs she was in, from her irritation at the master, to her bewigged head, while pretending to be 7's companion. The Master as a foil to the Doctor is grandiose, the Rani is so much more... unconnectable? Because she's cold and distant and couldn't care two figs for the Doctor, while the Master seems to go out of his way to taunt. Plus her hair and style are fabulous! I sincerely do hope she shows up in the new series, I sincerely do.

The companions: Peri made me laugh, because her American accent was ridiculous, and Mel was cute and had a good scream. And those SLEEVES! AND THAT PERM! Oh The Eighties, you played a good style joke on us! Ace was... I don't know... cranky.
Honestly, as I watched those other companions I couldn't help but think, "Donna would make mincemeat out of those girls." Rose would be kind to them, Martha would just shake her head and get on with things, but Donna would chew them up and spit out their bones for letting the Doctor treat them like he did (especially Peri with Six). Also, she'd slap Six silly. Also, she'd see right through anything the Rani was plotting, and give her a run for her money.

Essentially, yes, Donna is my measuring stick.

Essentially, yes, Donna is my measuring stick.

Peri was useless, in my opinion. I loved Sarah Jane Smith, Romana, and Jo Grant. But for the longest time, K-9 was the most solid companion he had, and was the measuring stick... that should say a lot. Leela wasn't too bad, but I was glad to see her go.

Funny, I met Collin Baker at Salt Lake's one and only Doctor Who convention. He seemed like a great guy, very amiable and personable. I remember thinking, "I bet he's going to be my favorite Doctor," and was upset that just before his convention appearance, he found out that he'd been "let go" as the Doctor. He joked to us about how he thought the regeneration scene was going to go, considering he wasn't going to be there... he autographed my Doctor Who technical manual, and recognized my costume as that of Mike Yates of Unit (Doctor #3, John Pertwee). I liked him.

Of course, it took KUED another year, I think, to get his episodes. When they finally did, I was greatly disappointed. That amiable, personable man, wasn't there. Instead he was angry and arrogant. Occasionally, he let some of Collin out, and I liked him then. The rest of the time, he was his vision of the Doctor, and not particularly likable.

I think you'd like Peter Davidson's Doctor (#5). I'm still partial to Tom Baker (#4), of course, of the classic Whos.

As I said, it was Salt Lake's one and only Doctor Who convention... I think it was 1986... but it was really cool for a Doctor Who geek like myself. Not very many in attendance, I think maybe 200... and that let us get to know one another and spend some time talking with Colin Baker, unlike regular sci-fi conventions where there are thousands of people and the celebrities whisk in and out of their panels, speaking appearances, and autograph sessions without saying more than a dozen words to everyone.

FINALLY! All caught up!

That was... wow.

God, I love this series.

I'm going to miss Russell and David and Katherine and Billie... Probably Russell most of all (though I have complete trust in Steven taking the helm). Russell is a lot like me, a fan-boy who grew up with the Doctor. He updated him, yes, but didn't change him in any fundamental way. He's still the Doctor, and for me that's the most important thing of all.

Now I need to get caught up to Torchwood and Sarah Jane... anybody TiVo-ing those eps that could burn them to a disk for me? Anybody?

I'd watch them online, but I've not had the best of luck with downloading them.

So I recently loaned my mother the first three seasons of Doctor Who, and when I saw her yesterday for family dinner I asked her what episode she was on. My dad turned around from peeling potatoes and said, "Jeremy, you've done a very very bad thing!"

She'd finished them through the end of S3, and when I asked what she thought so far, she stopped stirring the pot of noodles, looked up at me and heaved a sigh and quietly said, "Jack deserved to be the Face of Boe."

Then she went back to stirring the noodles.

Locally, you can watch it Saturdays at 11PM on KUED. They're currently running the second season.

The other two are cable stations, Sci Fi and BBC America. I'm not sure of their schedule.

Mr. A and Kaylee know a download site or two that work great for them, but don't work for me.

I borrowed the first two seasons from Second Guard ages and ages ago, and then watched the past two online on www.alluc.org. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you don't mind weird Asian subtitles and stuff like that-- Doctor Who for the most part was okay and didn't have a surplus of those, but sometimes the screens were funky and stuff.

AH HAA!! *giddy geek noises*

I have a friend who has one of those. He's named it Dalek Suc. He also has a trash can with an electronic eye that opens when you get near it, which he has named Dalek Can.

In other news, I know The Sun has reported all kinds of falsities and rumors about Dr. Who in the past, but sometimes it's nice to hold onto a thought.

Quote:

It was reported in the newspaper The Sun that Catherine Tate will reprise her role as Donna in David Tennant's final two episodes at Christmas 2009/New Year 2010.

Initial thoughts on Planet of the Dead (Easter 2009 Special)...

Brilliant!

Michelle Ryan bugged me. She really didn't bring anything to the character, and made me happy about the Doctor's decision at the end.

Malcolm was my favorite supporting character, wouldn't mind seeing him again. �

And my two bits. DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!

I loved it. From top to bottom, I loved it, even the parts that bothered me.

Carmen was wonderful and needed more to do than just be a Magical Negro. That irritated me, because she deserved more than that.

Also, I was more than a little bit offended that they reused "A Pressing Need To Save The World" music when Christine was dumpster-diving for the crystal, because that is Donna's saving-the-world music, not for others' use! Murray Gold, you're good - don't cheapen by reusing!

Malcolm is us. Malcolm is all of us who sometimes need to say, "I. Love. YOU!" to the Doctor. When he protected his keyboard while staring down the barrel of a gun, in order to protect the Doctor, well... I got more than a little weepy.

I've missed Ten! I can't wait for the next bits!

Donna stuff:

Donna was referenced specifically in this episode twice, thrice if you count her conscripted saving-the-world music. When Christina called him Spaceman, and her said he once had a friend who called him that, and at the beginning when they first get off the bus and he says, "I think we've gone a little bit further than Brixton," I immediately recalled her breakdown - "Fiction, friction, fixin', mixing, Brixton." One might also consider another reference when he said no more companions, because they always get lost, though I'm sure when he says that he's thinking of Rose, too. But he said nearly the same thing in the Christmas episode, specifically meaning Donna. I think all these are more than coincidence. I really think, and I'm hoping my hopest, that it combines with other rumored information to mean we have NOT seen the last of Donna.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

SERIOUSLY. The woman is a champ. (Also, I love how the article THAT article links to oh-so-casually mentions that she's playing opposite Christopher Eccleston in A Doll's House, like it ain't no thang. IT'S A THANG.)

The press screening for episode 1 of the 5 is scheduled for June 12, which feeds speculation that it'll be broadcast by June 15th. That's the most recent news I've heard.

P.S. Have you been watching that reality show where they're trying to find the new Joseph, as in Dreamcoat? (John Barrowman's one of the judges) I caught an episode of it on Sunday. All I can say is, I'm glad Andrew Lloyd Webber hires casting directors for his shows. He's terrible at picking the good ones!

I have been watching that (mainly for the Barrowman glimpses), although I'm waaaayyy behind on my Tivo homework. I think sometimes there's got to be a huge difference for them in the live studio, because I think exactly the opposite of what they think.

Fancy. I was just talking with a customer and heard the opening OOOO-WEEE-OOOOOOOO in the background. Throughout the rest of the conversation I kept trying to see if I could identify which episode it was, but she kept asking questions and taking my attention away. Damn needy customers.

I'm just so glad Hilary Swank's male twin is gone. And also Rob with the too-big mouth full of vampire teeth. Some singers are meant to be heard and not seen.

Is anybody else watching Torchwood, or did you already, like me, or are you saving it on the DVR for later?

If you like, here's a recap of the first episode of this season, again in Facebook style.

Hey you guys, looklooklooklook!

On of my artist friends was taking commissions to do art for money, so I asked her for a picture of The Doctor and Donna, and this is what she made me:

It does, doesn't it? Partly because of the color outside the lines, I think. She was inspired by Disney and anime and all sorts of stuff, and I covet her skills. If I thought I could get away with it, I'd steal her style all for my own, like a little child with a lollipop.

IF you're interested, her other stuff can be perused here and here.

I don't know much about Tom Baker, except that he's pretty much the most iconic of all Doctors, but this bit from an interview with him makes me like him very much.

Quote:

A quick beggar story: a young man in Manchester, and I normally don�t believe that most beggars are beggars � they probably work for Channel 4 of else they�re high-powered directors thinking that this is a real thing to do � so naturally I like to hedge my bets and give them a pound. If they look revolting, then I�m absolutely certain they work for Channel 4 and I give them two pounds.

Anyway, I was passing, and they all say the same thing � I could be a beggar�s script-writer, I could write them good scripts, but the buggers won�t listen, they all copy each other � �Have you got any change?� I hate that. When I was young beggars were different. They used to tell you marvellous lies like:

�You�re a great, handsome fella!�

�What?�

�You�re a great, handsome fella.�

�I�m sorry, I can�t hear.�

�I was just saying what a great, handsome fella you are.� And then I�d give him two shillings. You bought the performance. You bought the lie, and then we are equals, and that�s charming. It�s not going to go far, maybe� Anyway, a voice said to me, �Have you got any small change?� in that pathetic way, so I said, �Yup.� I got my money out and he looked up and said, �Christ! Dr Who.�

I said, �Yes. Have two pounds.�

�Ah, man,� he said, �You�re my hero. You were my hero.�

�Look, have three pounds.� Then there was a sudden change, and I looked at him in the terrible light of Deansgate in Manchester and I saw rushing through his face, as we was jolted back to sitting on the sofa with the smell of fish fingers and chips when he was secure and washed. And then you jump on twenty years and he�s begging in Deansgate, and who comes along to offer him three pounds, but The Doctor.

Three pounds is not much after the things I did at the BBC � saving the whole bloody universe every week. But he said, �No. I don�t want the money.� Incredible. Then came the request. �Can�t you get us out of here?� I could imagine� I should have said to him, �Eight o�clock, outside the bookshop. Be there.� And at eight o�clock the place would be full of the magazine sellers and the beggars and they�d all pile into the Tardis, and I�d be saying, �Come on! Quick! Quick!� They�d all pile in, thousands of them, and then I�d close the door and you�d hear a panting � �cos there�s always got to be someone late in order to tell the press afterwards. And then woo-woo and away we�d go to somewhere happy. There�d just be me and these people, and K9 and it would be great.

Then the next day, in the Manchester Evening News it would say, �Where Have All Our Beggars Gone?� The special branch would be out misunderstanding everything. Walking round with pictures of beggars. �Have you seen this beggar?� It would be fantastic, wouldn�t it?

Anyway. I persuaded him to have the three pounds.

If you're interested, the whole interview is here: http://www.bfi.org.uk/features/interviews/baker.html

I just discovered this brilliantly animated music video. Tell me it's not among the cutest things you ever did see.

New Who. Eccleston, yes. I don't think that the classic Who is available on iTunes, but I might be wrong.

Love it! We've seen seven episodes or so now. The Latours are watching a couple every evening before bed.

You can get quite a few of the classic episodes on i-Tunes, though not necessarily a full run of a certain Doctor. Mostly they have the classic Tom Baker episodes.

I CRIED! I also thought that the balrog episodes were devilishly delightful. Were those the episodes written by the author we were discussing earlier? Anyway, I love this Doctor and what a way to end the season! But I'm looking forward to the next season which we have downloaded and are ready to start tomorrow!

Oh yay! ohyayohyayohyay! I think you're spot on with Martha. I feel bad for her because as much as he ends up appreciating her, I don't think he ever really said thanks for all the stuff she did.

What did you think of the episode Blink? That's the one I was referring to, that is creepy as all get out, and written by the guy who wrote Empty Child.

And JOYEUX! Tell me, before you get into the wonderosity of season 4, why do you love love love Donna after just one episode?

I think I can make a guess, but... I shouldn't presume.

And yay once more - Adara and I will both be able to introduce ourselves as The Doctor Grin

Ooookay! That explains why Eli chose Blink as his second favorite episode to Empty Child. He must have a thing for creepy creativity. Come to think of it, he DOES have a thing for that. I think Eli is the biggest geek fan of Doctor Who in the family.

That episode was brilliant. And what was with The Doctor and Martha running around holding a bow and arrows saying they were busy with "four things... and a lizard"? That cracked me up.

The reason I love Donna might be different than you think.

I love her... well she's got incredible comedic timing, obviously... but her character is innocent. She's older and a strong woman, but not really all that "together". Martha had arrived, ya know? She was grounded and smart and educated and together. Donna has the potential for more wonder and awe, but also for more growth. I like characters with potential, because I think it allows them to really develop and change during the course of a story.

Okay, so they're changing the Doctor, changing the companion, changing the TARDIS (newer-looking) changing the sonic screwdriver (plumper-looking) and now the logo.

I'm excited and nervous all at once, for next year.

Yes! And we watched The Last Doctor and Planet of the Dead too. Then we watched the first two episodes of the very first doctor, which are bizarre and fascinating. We are watching the four-part serial An Unearthly Child. The cavemen ramble on a lot about fire. We also have the seven-part serial The Daleks and the third serial The Edge of Destruction. We wanted to get a taste of the origins.

Anyway, I really loved season 4. I was so sad when it ended, because I'm really attached to David Tennant now. Wanted to cry. And I know everyone loves Rose (me too), but she was my least favorite. Donna was my favorite followed by Martha and then Rose. Okay, actually I would put Jack before any of them. Which leads me to... should we watch Torchwood, or is it too soap-opera-ish?

Oh dear. If my reaction to the Doctor's final scene with Sarah Jane on The Sarah Jane Adventures, with a reverse reading of their last parting at the end of Hand of Fear, was to get all weepish, how on Sol 3 am I going to deal with the final episode in December?

Er. IMDB tells us that Russel Tovey is coming back as Alonzo Frame:

# "Doctor Who" .... Midshipman Frame (3 episodes, 2007-2010)
- Episode dated 1 January 2010 (2010) TV episode .... Midshipman Frame
- The End of Time (2009) TV episode .... Midshipman Frame
- Voyage of the Damned (2007) TV episode .... Midshipman Frame

THAT'S an unexpected reunion! That amuses me beyond all reason!

2. I love parodies of Should'a Put a Ring On It.

3. I LOVE THEM BOTH TOGETHER!!

The Children In Need special gave us a short bit of scene from the Christmas episode.

It at least answers a past question from early season 3...

http://pubhistwho.livejournal.com/291.html

It's only open until the 5th. �It asks some interesting questions, and anonymous answers are welcome as well. �

My answers:

How would you best describe your relationship to Doctor Who?
I grew up with the Doctor, at least during my teen years. My local public television station (KUED) aired the Doctor's adventures weeknights at 10:30 PM. to say the Doctor had a profound impact on my development is an understatement. I idolized the Doctor the way other boys my age idolized sports heroes. I wanted to be him. I remember one day finding myself in a neighborhood confrontation with some to other boys and happened to have some gummi bears on me. I held them out as a peace offering, saying in my best English accent: "Would you like a Jelly Baby? Really, they're awfully good."

How old were you when you began watching Doctor Who?
12 years old.

Did you watch the show with anyone else? If so, who?
Not really. If a friend slept over I'd make him watch it, but aside from that...

Who do you consider to be your first Doctor?
Tom Baker

What was the first regeneration/changeover you witnessed?
KUED had bought the Tom Baker years and aired them from start to finish in their entirety multiple times before they acquired any other episodes. So I saw the regeneration into Peter Davidson multiple times before I ever saw Peter Davidson's Doctor. The image of him just sitting up in Tom Baker's costume is still burnt into my memory.

Do you think that change affected your relationship with the show, and if so, in what way?
It did. Keep in mind I had watched the Baker run 3 times over before we finally got the Davidson episodes, so it was someone and something new.

If you have experienced subsequent regenerations, do you think they have had the same impact?
After the Davidson episodes ran a couple of times KUED managed to get their hands on the Hartnell/Troughton/Pertwee episodes (that had survived) and set out to air Doctor Who from beginning to Colin Baker. So I experienced the first three regenerations with some sadness, as I actually came to admire each Doctor in his turn, particularly Pertwee.

I attended a Doctor Who convention when I was 16 and Colin Baker was the guest of honor. He was a very kind and affable gentleman, and I remember thinking how much I liked him and how I thought he could be my favorite Doctor. When I finally got to see his episodes I wondered where the sweet, kind man I met had gone, and who this belligerent, arrogant jerk was pretending to be the Doctor.

How (if at all) do you feel your relationship with Doctor Who has changed since you began watching the show?
I grew up wanting to be him. I strove to emulate his constant lesson: "Think before you act; be clever in difficult situations; and respect and help all life whenever you can."

If you began watching Doctor Who prior to the 2005 series, do you currently or did you at any point watch any of the new series? Why or why not?
A friend of mine told me her new roommate who was going to "introduce her to Doctor Who." I was delighted that anyone even knew about the series let alone wanted to introduce a stranger to them. I did a quick internet search to share some links with my friend and discovered there was a new series. It became my immediate goal to seek out and find the new episodes. When I did, I fell in love all over again. Christopher Eccelston gave me a Doctor I never thought I'd see... a burnt-out soldier, having had to make the worst choice in his life and survive it. In many ways it was like the Doctor, like me, had grown up. Then the beloved David Tennant brought back the whimsical and carefree Doctor, and I was hooked again. Because of the new series I have also had the great delight of introducing my son to this icon of my youth.

How would you best describe your relationship to Doctor Who?
I'm in love with science, with the awe of the universe,with the awe of human beings and all living creatures and plant life. �I have an insatiable desire to explore and learn and questions things. �In those ways the Doctor and I are very much alike. �So I see the show as being the fantasy that I would love to live if it were possible.

How old were you when you began watching Doctor Who?
42 years old.

Did you watch the show with anyone else? If so, who?
My husband and children, who also love it.

Who do you consider to be your first Doctor?
William Hartnell. �I was introduced first to Christopher Eccleston, but I went back and watched the original series and I just think of William Hartnell as "first".

What was the first regeneration/changeover you witnessed?
Eccleston to Tennant.

Do you think that change affected your relationship with the show, and if so, in what way?
It was disturbing at first. �But as a late-comer, I already knew it was going to happen so I adjusted quickly. �As soon as Tennant said, "I'm rude AND I'm not ginger!" I was hooked. �I saw the doctor as a much broader character with more potential because he could change.

If you have experienced subsequent regenerations, do you think they have had the same impact?
I will be experiencing one in a few weeks. �We shall see.

How (if at all) do you feel your relationship with Doctor Who has changed since you began watching the show?
I've fallen in love with the show along with my family. �We are buying up episodes from past Doctors and just eating them up. �The show has helped to renew my love of the world and people around me and to fuel my curiosity about things. �

If you began watching Doctor Who prior to the 2005 series, do you currently or did you at any point watch any of the new series? Why or why not?
*blank*

If you began watching Doctor Who after the 2005 series, have you watched any older Doctor Who? Why or why not? Yes. I was curious about the background of the show and wanted to understand the origins as well as contrast the different doctors.

How would you best describe your relationship to Doctor Who? Inspiring, in a word. This show really boosted my imagination, opened up many other worlds to me, such as fan fics, and I find that now in times of stress I often ask myself, "How would the Doctor handle this?" and go with the answer that turns up. Though I identify most with a certain companion, the Doctor's humanism, and his ability to inspire companions in turn inspires me to reaching to become my best self.

How old were you when you began watching Doctor Who? 28

Did you watch the show with anyone else? If so, who? I have never been able to watch the show with anyone else, but I introduced my mother to it and she and I have spent a considerable time talking about it.

Who do you consider to be your first Doctor? Tennant

What was the first regeneration/changeover you witnessed? From 9 to 10

Do you think that change affected your relationship with the show, and if so, in what way? I started watching bits of season 4 and then went back to catch up, so the only way the regeneration affected me was sort of like missing a friend and then he came home.

If you have experienced subsequent regenerations, do you think they have had the same impact? I have not yet experienced any other regenerations.

How (if at all) do you feel your relationship with Doctor Who has changed since you began watching the show? It started out as an amusing lark, and has deepened into one of the models for how I wish to live my life. It has also helped me come to terms with my latent sci-fi nerd, which I never accepted before, and has also been the reason I got over my prejudice to fan-fic.

If you began watching Doctor Who prior to the 2005 series, do you currently or did you at any point watch any of the new series? Why or why not? I did not watch prior to the 2005 series.

If you began watching Doctor Who after the 2005 series, have you watched any older Doctor Who? Why or why not? Yes I have, in order to find out the origins, to understand the man through different iterations, what has composited to make him who David Tennant has portrayed him as. Also to understand the shift in the depiction of the companions, and the cultural impact the little show had for so many years.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

How would you best describe your relationship to Doctor Who?
Long-standing and intimate.

How old were you when you began watching Doctor Who?
I can�t remember when I started watching, so I�m going to go with 3.

Did you watch the show with anyone else? If so, who?
I watched it with my dad and sisters when I was little. These days, mostly on my own.

Who do you consider to be your first Doctor?
Tom Baker

What was the first regeneration/changeover you witnessed?
Tom Baker to Peter Davidson.

Do you think that change affected your relationship with the show, and if so, in what way?
I actually don�t remember it much, being so young, but I remember seeing Davidson episodes, so I�m sure I saw it. I think I missed the iconic scarf.

If you have experienced subsequent regenerations, do you think they have had the same impact?
Seeing as I don�t exactly remember the Baker to Davidson transformation much, I would say the Eggleston to Tennant transformation had the most impact for me. I don�t really remember the ones in between except for Paul McGann. Hmm.. maybe that one had more of an impact for me because it was �bringing back� the show.

How (if at all) do you feel your relationship with Doctor Who has changed since you began watching the show?
Well sure. When I was little it was all about �playing� Doctor Who. Me and my sisters would take turns pretending to be the Doctor, the companions (particularly Sarah Jane Smith), and the villans. We certainly don�t do that any more! However, the thrill of watching an episode is still there. Makes me feel like a kid again.

If you began watching Doctor Who prior to the 2005 series, do you currently or did you at any point watch any of the new series? Why or why not?
But of course! I find each new incarnation of the Doctor to be as exciting as the last.

If you began watching Doctor Who after the 2005 series, have you watched any older Doctor Who? Why or why not? �

He's a busy kitty this season. One of my internet friends compiled a list and he's in 9 different shows between now and Jan 1st, including the two Who Specials, a guest on QI with Stephen Fry on Christmas Eve, and apparently a couple things with Catherine Tate as well.

So I just watched season 1's episode Boom Town And seeing that and comparing it to what Happens in The Waters of Mars, the conversation between the Doctor and Margaret Blaine nee Blon Fel Fotch Passamer Day Slitheen was remarkably prescient. I know there's such a thing as a theme for a show, but her words to him were like a warning that came to fruition 4 years later. It's really interesting to me to look at that arc from both ends.

And pretty much David Tennant's run to dominate British airwaves for the next week has begun with his hosting appearance on Nevermind The Buzzcocks, a musical quiz-type show, with Bernard Cribbins (Wilf) and Catherine Tate (Donna) as guests, who are both hilarious.

Well, AND David Tennant plays the starring role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's screen production of Hamlet along with Patrick Stewart (airing on Boxing Day in the UK). �It's like a geek fest for Trekker Whovian Theater Geeks.

I can very much appreciate what Russel T. Davies has done through bringing back the show, and I understand that you need to have enormous self-confidence to do what he's done, make what he's made and get as far in television or Hollywood as he has. But I think that if he and I had a conversation, we wouldn't like each other.

According to their measurements I'm a large (and I've finally accepted that. Even minus 30 lbs, my rib cage is 1 and 1/2 times Tennant's size.) and when the front is buttoned I have the exact same shape as Tennant, only wider. It's cut amazingly well, drapes nicely, and if the sleeves are 3/4 inch too long, it'll help keep me warmer I suppose.

I haven't tried running after insane timelords or fended off giant wasps or stared down Vashta Nerada yet, but I go to work in half an hour, so we'll see.

Hopefully it's not because he's the new "edgy" Doctor.

Yeah, that's my question too. I don't know if I can get used to him. He's such a...boy.

So I finally watched Tennant's final episode and all I can say is that I never knew that James Bond was a Time Lord, but it makes perfect sense now why Mr. Bond keeps changing faces and never gets older.

LMAO! It makes so much sense now!

Though I was a bit shocked when the Doctor addressed him as Rassilon. Rassilon is the historic founder of the Time Lords, and creator of a lot of their technology. And way way back in the Five Doctors we were told he was dead. Of course, we were told Davros and the Master were dead many times over...

I have been putting off watching the last of Tennant's stint as the Doctor. I admit it. I haven't seen anything since Donna's forgetting things because I don't want to admit Tennant is leaving. I am so sadface.

(Not that I think Matt Smith will do a bad job, I just... sigh. Losing "my" Doctor is difficult.)

If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.

My wife thought that, too... the question of course is, if it was either Jenny or Donna, how did they get into the time-locked Time War? Romana and Susan both could have been there at the beginning of the war.

Some early articles had her listed as the Doctor's mother...

I thought that was kind of cute, but you have a point. What I hear a lot of people saying is that they wanted the Doctor to apologize to Jack in actual words, rather than what they got.

What breaks my heart, though, is Donna's end. I'm happy she's happy, and with someone who's obviously kind and cares for her. And I know in her original life marriage was what she wanted, and her goal, but oh! All the things she seen since, the people she's touched and changed! I agree that if she'd been restored somehow it would have negated the wonderfully tragic end to series 4, but...but she has so much potential, just LIVING inside her. And she's compelled now to never be anything more. It hurts me. I've been thinking about it for a week now, 'round and 'round.

I don't see her "ending" as disappointing. And I don't think the Doctor would see it that way either. He has such love and respect for the human race. And I think it's probably because we do so much with so little. We're sometimes completely aware of our limitations, yet we soldier on and do our best to keep our heads up and a smile on our faces. Donna gets to spend the rest of her life with a man who loves her and treats her well. Living the adventure that is human existence. She has tons of potential as part of the human world and the potential to touch so many human lives. I think it's an ending that the Doctor might envy in a way.

Beautifully put, Spiker. It's similar to the lesson from "Up," and Ellie's adventure book. Though she never made it to Paradise Falls, she still felt fulfilled in her life with Carl. She made the life she had the adventure.

P.S. (and on a somewhat related note)

That part where the Doctor tells Jack Alonzo's name. I mean, c'mon! As if Jack needs any assistance picking up men! Psssht.

I thought that was kind of cute, but you have a point.� What I hear a lot of people saying is that they wanted the Doctor to apologize to Jack in actual words, rather than what they got.

What breaks my heart, though, is Donna's end.� I'm happy she's happy, and with someone who's obviously kind and cares for her.� And I know in her original life marriage was what she wanted, and her goal, but oh!� All the things she seen since, the people she's touched and changed!� I agree that if she'd been restored somehow it would have negated the wonderfully tragic end to series 4, but...but she has so much potential, just LIVING inside her.� And she's compelled now to never be anything more.� It hurts me.� I've been thinking about it for a week now, 'round and 'round.

I was thinking that, too... but the more I think about what happened to Donna at the end of 4, the more I think she still does have that potential. I mean, what if the Doctor was merely giving her time for her brain to become accustomed to her Doctor-Donna-ness; time that could take years? The Time Lady told Wilf, "I was lost once," which was a Donna line. The way she did the glance toward the controls behind the Master to clue the Doctor in (with tears streaming down her face), very Donna. And the way the Doctor looked at her when Wilf asked who the Time Lady was made me wonder... is Russell saying that it was Donna, that since Davros, the Cult of Skaro, "Rassilon", et al, could find a way to escape the time war, could Donna have found a way to get inside? And if it was Donna, older, wiser --now more Gallifreyan that human, though maybe not yet at her first regeneration-- then in every way she does live up to that wonderful potential.

One creature I would love to see escape the Time War that the Doctor mentioned, "The Nightmare Child, who could have been king with his army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres." That just sounds cool.

I agree about the Captain Jack ending being lame.

I loved Sarah Jane's ending... not sad, but happy. He's the 3rd regeneration of the Doctor for her, and she knows that who he is deep down inside --the man she loves-- won't disappear.

What did everyone think of Mickey and Martha? I'm sixes on that one.

The Rose ending broke my hearts, but then I have a huge soft-spot for Rose.

Mickey/Martha was a little too tidy and at the same time disconcerting in a "don't overlap my plots" kind of way for me.

Yes, tidy.

*shameful admission* I read an extraordinary fan fic in Torchwood that involved Jack and Ianto and Martha and Tom Milligan, and I really fell in enormous like with his character as depicted there. I accept that Rusty gets to do whatever he wants, but I kind of find it disingenuous to both Martha and Tom as to the "neatness" with which that was wrapped up, and I shall be pretending entirely that Mickey and Martha are only work spouses.

And as for Donna: Okay Spiker and Swami, you make good points. If there's anyone that can do marvelous caring things with an "ordinary" life, it's Donna, with or without being half Timelord. I'll focus on that. I just identify with her so much - I want her to be more than I am... (weirdo)

The woman talking to Wilf possibly being Donna is freakin' my freak. I'm more inclined to think it's Susan, based on the granddaughter thing, or his own mother. Though if it turns out to be Romana, I'd be fine with that too. She's hawt. (did I ever show you the Romana drawing I did from memory at work one day?)

Swams, how was the Captain Jake ending lame to you?

And yes!! The Nightmare Child! Armies of Meanwhiles and Neverweres!! I hope we encounter those someday!!

I guess I was just expecting a little more... maybe the Doctor sits at the bar next to Jack and Jack's all excited to see him, still the Doctor says nothing and gives him that look... then the scene plays out from there, complete with him introducing Jack to Alonzo.

I just wanted MORE Jack, I guess... less, "welcome to the Cantina, and oh look, there's Jack." The Doctor called Donna his best friend, and indeed, she was. But I always felt Jack understood the Doctor's world without it having to be explained to him. He and the Doctor are very much alike. And with the whole Face of Bo thing... I just wanted something more. Not an apology, just more than a note.

I don't recall a Romana drawing. Was it Mary Tamm or the former Mrs. Tom Baker, Lalla Ward?

It kind of stretched things vertically, I don't know why. Also, in the original, her skin, on her hand as well, is actually pink. And Cheeky, I know right? Because you said that, I wore my "feather" coat to work today instead of my Doctor coat.

I kind of feel the same way. It was the same way I felt about the series end of Six Feet Under. I don't want the trite "This is where they are now" ending. If it has to end, just let it end the way it was and I'll imagine what happened to them. That said, I did kind of like the idea of him catching up with Rose before they had ever met. But that was the only one that didn't feel corny to me.

Make that all about the actor and the producer. Russell was waving at us in each of those goodbyes.

Still, the most important part of the ending for me was right as the regeneration started and the Doctor said: "I don't want to go." It broke my hearts. Usually regens are presented as good things... "it's time for renewal, not tears." But with the exception of Troughton to Pertwee, this one was unique in that this iteration of the Doctor didn't want to go.

Yes. Ultimately it turned out not to be true, and a lot of the support some people had for the idea was grasping at very small straws, and it had already been done with Yana the season before, but the idea is beyond intriguing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98VcYfcwrIs

Read the notes for that video as well. Point three appeals to me the most due to the WORDness of it -
Quote:

#3) The Latin word "dona", from which comes the name Donna, means "lady". The Latin word "nobis", or Noble, means "we" or "us", whereas in English it means "royalty", as does the word "Rani". Donna constantly refered to herself as "just a temp", which of course has two meanings. The Latin word "tempus", the root word of "temporary", means "time". Temp in English means "something which is not permanent". This could be a clue that subconsciously she knew that "she" was not real, just a "temp" self. Just like "John Smith" was a "temp" self for the Doctor, or the Master's "Yana" self. So if we take the Latin for "the temp Donna Noble" we come up with "Tempus Dona Nobis" which can be directly translated as "We, the Time Lady". This is why I titled the vid "I, Rani". It seems to fit, dont you think?

Additionally, what a story that would have been - the doctor only spent one episode with Yana/The Master, but how would it impact things if you found out that he'd spent a whole season with one of his other enemies, and considered her his best friend? It changes everything completely, and I'm not sure how I would have felt, but it's such an interesting idea to me that I feel it's a shame it wasn't explored.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Yep. Totally freaks my freak!

I often wondered if the Master's wife when he was Harold Saxon was really the Chameleon Arched Rani... That idea was killed, like Donna being the Rani, by this final episode.

I just want to say that I'm finally watching this. I've wanted to since the "new" series started, because I watched a few episodes with my boyfriend at the time and quite enjoyed them. Sadly, we broke up, and he was my connection (didn't have BBCAmerica, Sci-Fi, and this was pre-Tv on the internet), so I didn't continue then. And then life happened.

So. Praise the heavens for Instant Netflix and work projects that give me time to watch it. I just started season 2.

I just have to say that when I watch Law and Order UK, all I can see is Martha Jones, undercover as a lawyer, prosecuting bad guys and snickering behind her hand, "I've travelled through time and space, hee hee hee. I fought Daleks and almost fell into a sun, I can totally lawyer you into the ground!"

They're already putting out End of Time figures with 11 in 10's suite and the Master in his hoodie, etc, (which I MUST get as soon as possible) but is it really too much to ask for another, really good Donna figure, when she's not in her Oodsphere coat?� Maybe her in her iconic Journey's End jacket?�

APPARENTLY SO!� �

NBC has decided not to move forward with the David Tennant series Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, at least for now. They've put the sets in storage, so there's a chance it'll be considered for the fall schedule.

Them NBC execs are sure endearing themselves to everyone these days.

Interesting - I know that British TV is smaller than it is here, and they only have so many actors to show up on a limited number of shows, but it amuses me to absolutely no end to see there are now 5
recurring characters on Being Human played by people who have also appeared on Doctor Who.� Just makes me smile!

Lenora Critchlow - Plays Annie on BH, and played one of the two that kidnapped Martha on DW

Russell Tovey - Plays George on BH, and played Alonzo Frame on DW

Sinead Keenan - Plays Nina on BH, and played the Vinvocci Addams on the Final David Tennant episodes

And now Lucy Gaskell - Played Sam on BH and looks to be on next week's episode too, and she played Kathy Nightengale on the marvelous 'Blink' episode of DW

Also Donald Sumpter - Plays the scary Kemp on BH and played Erasmus Darkening on The Sarah Jane Adventures, so he kind of counts.

Okay you guys, someplace in London that auctions off stuff is auctioning off Doctor Who stuff, both recent and classic. You could pick yourself up a Cyberman!

http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&scre...

Now you know where to shop for me for my half-birthday! There's a bunch of Donna costumes, including her Journey's End one, and I wouldn't say no to Kylie Minogue's boots from the Christmas episode!

Full catalogue - http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&scre...

Well, well, well. For Doctor Who and Neil Gaiman lovers alike, looks like he's writing (or written) an episode for M. Smith's second season.

WOOT!

On another Matt Smith-like note, I just re-watched the two parter Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead, to prepare myself for what Mr. Moffat could surprise us with. Like the first time I watched it, I loved it all the way through. His use of time as a mystery. Who is River Song? Like Blink before it, so brilliantly executed. There were some wonderful emotional moments, particularly when the Doctor and River were arguing. Something of a Russel Davies influence there... and at the end when River looks out and we hear "pleasant dreams" and she switches off the lights... LOVED IT!

Where Russell was great at capturing the fun and brilliance that was travelling with the Doctor, and had the running idea that "the Doctor was like fire," I think Moffat's emphasis will be on "behind the sofa" scares, and using time travel as something more than a motif. In the few episodes he's written he's had the scariest monsters (though executed brilliantly at surprising low budget), ones that have had my kids scared to go to bed at night more so than the Daleks or Cybermen; and he's used time travel in each of the plots to make us all realize that when you start mucking about with time, it can surprise you.

Definitely excited for this new season now.

Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey. Yes, Moffatt's stories have really given a wider scope to what this show can be, what this character really lives like. I'm beyond interested to see what he will give us!

The BBC has released the first look at Christopher Eccleston (you remember, the Doctor just before David Tennant) as John Lennon from the forthcoming biopic Lennon Naked. Airing this autumn on BBC Four, Lennon Naked spotlights John Lennon�s transition from Beatle to enduring and enigmatic icon.

Here's what the film's about:

When The Beatles� manager Brian Epstein died unexpectedly in 1967, it was a turning point in John Lennon�s life. The film focuses on the turbulent and intense period of change that followed, and how John was haunted by his troubled childhood.

The film reveals the impact of re-establishing contact with his long lost father Freddie and the events that led John to shed everything both personally and creatively � from divorcing his long-suffering wife Cynthia, to changing his name and ultimately calling time on The Beatles.

Meeting Yoko Ono was the catalyst for this new era and the film explores the development of their extraordinary relationship. Together they experimented with both the musical and artistic avant garde but in doing so become outsiders.

It looks at their growing disillusionment with Britain and what caused John to abandon the UK to start a new life in America. A process that included John harnessing the power of radical Primal Scream psychotherapy to lay the ghosts of his past and go on to record arguably the most powerful solo work of his career.

Key cast also include Christopher Fairbank as Freddie Lennon, Naoko Mori (Toshiko Sato in Torchwood) as Yoko Ono, Claudie Blakley as Cynthia Lennon, Rory Kinnear as Brian Epstein, Allan Corduner at Art Janov, Michael Colgan as Derek Taylor and Andrew Scott as Paul McCartney.

Lennon Naked is currently filming in London; the 90-minute drama is written by Robert Jones (The No.1 Ladies� Detective Agency, Party Animals) and will air in 2010. The director and co-producer is Edmund Coulthard (Tales From Pleasure Beach, Soundproof); co- producer is Katherine Lannon (The Secret Life Of Mrs Beeton, The History Of Mr Polly) for Blast! Films, and BBC executive producer is Kate Evans.

I'm going to try to prevent myself from watching any episodes until the first season is over. Not sure I'll be able to, but that's how I do TV. I absolutely hate waiting between episodes. I'm a film sort of gal. I like the uninterrupted flow of following the stories and characters at my whim. The only television I watch is on DVD or I buy the season on iTunes and watch it on iTV so I don't have to forward through commercials.

We'll see if I can resist the temptation.

Customer: �Here! Look!�

(He grabs a DVD and waves it under my face. It�s an old episode of Doctor Who which features the main character blindfolded on the cover.)

Me: �Sir, that is an old children�s show. There�s nothing adult, kinky or otherwise, going on there.�

Customer: �Don�t be ridiculous! I know filth when I see it!�

Me: �I promise you, this is a popular family show in Britain.�

Customer: �Well, no wonder they�re all perverts over there! I demand you remove this from your shelves! You shouldn�t sell these things if you haven�t even seen them!�

which breaks my heart. I guess I'm still not ready to let go of Tennant.

Was just reading an old old interview with Diana Wynne Jones and she had muchmuch to say about writing for children, including this line:

Quote:

"But you know, the nice thing about writing for children is that kids are prepared to use their minds. So you can throw all the ideas in and get it really complicated and tangled, and cats-cradled, and they don�t mind. They don�t worry about the plot getting complicated, because they can follow Dr Who, and anyone who can follow Dr Who can follow anything!"

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Though I'm with you on the clothes... not very interesting. Tennant's school-boy suit worked for him. Matt needs something like he was wearing in the first publicity shot. Hopefully his look will grow on me.

I like the look.� It keeps the Doctor campy, like he should be.� �The black he wore in the promotion shots would have been a jump into a little too dark of a Doctor.� As it is, he's jumping there anyway.� Might as well slow him down with a bow tie.� I was so relieved when I saw that they weren't going to keep him looking like a backstage techie going on a date.

I happen to love the new interior of the Tardis. I'm all about traveling in bright reds, oranges, and yellows. Those are my energy colors.

I think it'll take me a while to adjust to Smith, but I'll give him a chance.

I dig the clothes! Kind of a tweed-y professor meets Victorian chimney-sweeper or something. I'm into it.

Also, I think Karen Gillan is possibly the most effing adorable creature ever. I can't get over her.

New TARDIS is new. I'm indifferent. The stairs are cool! The old TARDIS looked very clunky to me, which I actually sort of liked a lot, but... yes. Desktop theme comment makes me giggle. TRUTH.

I did laugh some. I did get the heebie-jeebies some. The writing is good. I'm still not completely on board with Matt Smith. I feel like he's trying on his father's clothes--not because of his costume, because of his character. Anybody feel me? But, it's not like I'm going to stop watching or anything.

Oh gosh, I'm on board. Matt Smith fan here. I feel like it's a much smoother transition from Tennant to Smith than it was from Eccleston to Tennant? (although I'm aware that from another angle it might look like Smith is cribbing too hard from Tennant's performance, but I don't think that's true.)

I loved it. Weirdly, it's Karen Gillan I am not entirely sold on just yet. I like her! But I do not love her yet.

I got all goosebumpy when they did the thing with all the old doctors and Eleven walked through it and OM. NOM. NOM. NewWho is delish. (NooHoo? Whatevs, I am tired.)

Maybe, maybe not. Shall I share my resources on that which can perhaps give you another perspective on it?

In another vein, I LOVE THE MUSIC. I know people have called Murray Gold's scoring "over-brassy" but I love it and listen to the soundtracks all the time. And the music he's put in here - especially while 11 is dressing, and at the end when it's scanning all Amy's art projects and the dress - has been stuck in my head for two days! I love it more than Martha's themes, and almost as much as Donna's. So happy! I can't wait for this season's music to be released!

My 11th Doctor and I am soooooo excited!

After watching, all the trepidations I had are pretty-much gone. Even the costuming.

I don't think Matt Smith is playing Tennant, I think he's just playing the Doctor. The Doctor has a base-line for every actor --brilliant, a bit insane, a bit lonely and fun. There are those who take one aspect or another on and bring it forward. Like Tennant, Smith is focusing on the fun part, which is what the Doctor needs (in my Tom Baker fan opinion).

The line, "I grew up." "Well, don't worry, I'll soon fix that." BRILLIANT!

I think my lack of exposure to previous doctors is part of my problem. Eccleston was my first. Rose was my first companion. I've never really gotten over those two. Nobody compares, for me. I quickly grew to love Tennant, and for me, what he was doing was so different from Eccleston. All of his stuff about not being the same man after the change made total sense. Because he wasn't. So, with only those two under my belt, to see somebody playing a character closer to Tennant just feels like stealing. I understand, in the great mythology of THE DOCTOR, it's right, I just have to get used to it.

I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat-- I'm a new-series fan too, and I haven't bothered to go back and watch the classic series. It was hard for me to love Tennant (although the bastard charmed me in about half an hour flat) because I felt like a big fat traitor, and I still feel like a big fat traitor for loving Matt Smith here.

ALSO! I am love-love-loving the little steampunk influence in the Moff takeover. The Doctor's clothes, the gadgets in the TARDIS (typewriter, faucet handles, etc).

Right?? I didn't realize it until I saw it all come together in the episode, and then I got all weak in the knees. I love steampunk stuff, and for it to be showing up in Who just makes me giddy.

Have we all seen this? Can we talk about specifics now?

The thing that struck me most, and was an excellent point in one of the blog posts I linked Spiker to, is that whole beginning sequence - who wouldn't love to find that the Doctor has crashed into your backyard and invite him in for fish custard? A strong way to introduce a new companion, give her the experience many of us wish we could have. Maybe it's just me this is hitting a chord with though. I'll admit, I was one of those little kids who could be so moved by a character that I would spend a lot of energy drawing them up, crafting them in any way I could; yes, I had imaginary "friends" that meant a lot to me when I was in my single-digits. Seeing that ending, and realizing just how much energy Amy had put into this touched a dormant place in my heart.

For me this show has always been about the Companion. The Doctor is suitably alien and mysterious and weird, but the companion... well, you know how I am over Donna. And seeing another companion representing another aspect of myself, this time the person who had to grow up while evidently being compelled to stay connected to their childhood, is, for me, riveting.

But maybe I look for more symbolism in this show than I should.

This is something that is kind of fun here. I had the chance to meet/talk to/listen to Audrey Niffenegger (blahblah my hero, blahblah wrote The Time Traveler's Wife, blahblah artist's books you know all this etc) back in January, and someone asked her a question about Doctor Who-- she mentions it in her newer novel, Her Fearful Symmetry.

What she said was so much fun. I guess "The Girl in the Fireplace" was directly inspired by TTW, and the Moff has even said so. She wanted a British TV series to mention in her novel, and so she heard about that and watched that episode, and now she loves DW. So she used that episode in Her Fearful Symmetry, and she mentioned that she would love if Moff lobbed the ball back to her, that it would be funny.

Alex and I noticed that this ep had some pretty interesting things in common with TTW...� Grin

Grin

I am sure it's coincidence or just pulling from inspiration, but it tickled me a little bit.

Also: can't wait to see Neil Gaiman's episode next season. Ohh my maker, I'm so excited.

(Mr A-- I think that's why I liked Little Amelia so much. When she started packing her suitcase my eyes welled up. I told Alex that I think they were really shooting for the kid-audience in everybody in the first few minutes there.)

I agree with Mr A, the companion is (and should be) central to the series. We experience the Doctor's world through their eyes, and it is through them that we are able to travel and have adventures with the Doctor.

I am in LOVE with Amy Pond (and Karen Gillan as well)! She is both wide-eyed like Rose and Sarah Jane (in her first years), but also feisty like Donna Noble. Top it off with her being Scottish and just cute as a button and I am head-over-heals for this one!

When she asks the Doctor "why her" and responds with "so you're just lonely, that's it," and the Doctor slyly replies with "that's it." He's standing next to the TARDIS's monitor (which looks like it was built by Mr. Magpie from "The Idiot's Lantern" episode in season 2)... on it is a wave-length read-out and under that is the crack from her wall...

On the new TARDIS. The white trim on the windows and the St. John's symbol on the door were on the first Doctor's TARDIS, circa 1963. So that's a cool throw-back (though you could barely see the St. John's symbol on the original). I LOVE the steampunk theme. The typewriter keyboard, the faucets, and the Magpie Electric monitor are all keepers. In some ways it's akin to the "Auxiliary Control Room" the 4th doctor used for a short-time, though that one didn't have the engine right underneath it, and was more like a paneled desk...

I've seen the first three episodes of the season and yay! Like most people, I'm heaving a sigh of relief. Yeah, I'll totally miss #10, but #11 is awesome too.

I also delved into some classic Who this week with my daughter. #3 and #4. I love both Pertwee and Baker. Fun! We've already watched Hartnell, but we need to catch some Troughton before we move on to Davidson.

For those missing Tennant (who haven't heard yet), watch Great Performances on KUED 7, Wednesday April 28th @ 7pm (or on Monday May 3rd, 2010 @ 12:30 am).

William Shakespeare's Hamlet, starring Tennant as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart as Claudius!

Since I can't get onto FB right now to broadcast my idle thoughts, I'll say it here: I am so grateful to The Moff for being clever enough to weave his stories with so much timey-wimeyness. Like, SOOOOOOOOOO much!

Also, some people don't get Doctor Who/television production/planning/expert storytelling, and they amaze me into stupefaction.

What was going on at the time the commercial was filmed was that Lalla Ward and Tom Baker were getting married in real life, and that had made all the papers. So to have her loving up to him was more Lalla and Tom rather than Romana and the Doctor.

It's funny to me that my laptop is likely more powerful than that Prime computer that took up a room.

Okay. Matt Smith is growing on me. I don't love him yet. I like him. I like the ways in which he's different from Tennant. I like that he doesn't always have the right answer, or any answer and that he makes mistakes.

In regards to Vincent and the Doctor... one of the most beautiful episodes ever...

Vincent
Don McLean
Hear it

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

"You just saved the whole of space and time... take the evening off! Maybe a bit of tomorrow."

OK, I never thought I'd say this, but the Doctor Who theme is now driving me bonkers. One of the hideous people at work, who always whistles, has now gotten into the show, and has been whistling just that first 2 bars over and over and over and over and over, really piercingly, for the last... 2:30 to 8:30? oh yes six HOURS.

It's time to be done.

Alreet folkies, I need some help by Friday at 4:00. Can anyone suggest some episode appropriate food or snacks to go along with the last 6 episodes of Doctor Who season 3? Human Nature 2-parter, Blink, Utopia, and then the Master's 2-parter. Any ideas? Only thing I can think of is a boiled egg, and that's a little... off.

Hmmmm... those were very British. Human Nature in particular. Maybe head over to Many Lands in Provo and hit their British section for ideas? One definite treat when you're watching Doctor Who...

Jelly Babies would be TOTALLY appropriate if we were watching any Tom Baker episodes.

Is there any kind of food called a "scarecrow"? "Mother of mine" or "Father of mine"? I guess there was ... beer?... buried out in the forest. The egg idea comes from the Doctor's timey wimey detector whch goes ding where there's stuff and boils an egg within 20 paces, even if it's in a chicken, but that's a little obscure...

I guess Toclafane kind of sounds like an ice cream treat, but I'm not sure you'd want to be eating it during the reveal...

For Blink you need angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream.

Time is always a theme with Doctor Who, but especially for three of the episodes you are talking about, because the Doctor's watch and Master's watch are key to them both hiding out as humans. You need some round food, shaped like a pocket watch. Little pizzas with veggies or meat for numbers around the edge, or round crackers or pie or hamburgers or something. If you want to be British, have round scones or biscuits (cookies) or cucumber sandwiches cut in circles.

So as I was idly going back through some of the episodes, I was amazed at how heavily perception filters play into many of the stories - 1. Prisoner Zero used a perception filter on that room in Amy's house for 12 years, 2. The guy who "invented" the Daleks for WWII didn't know he was an android due to a perception filter, 3. The Doctor mentions a perception filter as to why they didn't notice the statues, or maybe they're just thick, 4. The Giant Fish-Folk were using perception filters to look like humans, 5. (kind of) the Dream Lord's realities were due to a kind of perception, 6. van Gogh could perceive a giant space chicken when no one else could. Also he could perceive art all around, and 7. The upstairs flat was created by perception filter.

People have been going on that one of the main themes was dreams and forgetting/remembering, and I don't doubt that will figure into the finale, as well as the fairytale motifs, but I was just struck yesterday when I reviewed how many times a perception filter has been mentioned. My bet, Amy's going to have to save the world by seeing through something. (No, I'm not going to get any less vague than that.)

You guuuuuuuys I can't get over "The Pandorica Opens". Maybe someone else would have seen it coming, but I didn't. I mean, at first I was like:

And then I was like:

But at the end I was all:

From an interview with the Moff with Digital Spy

[quote]And you definitely can't tell us anything about episode 13?
"The universe has ended, mate, he's dead. The Doctor is in the Pandorica, there's this little voice saying: 'Hello, that was a big bang wasn't it? Oh, something happened out there?'"

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

As long as I don't bleed or cry, I'll do it!

O.K. it is required that someone jump in the TARDIS go to 06/26/2010 record the last episode and post it on this site. Apparently when you watch all 5 seasons in a week you can't wait 2 days

I know I figure I'll have to start something slightly less addictive tonight maybe the doctor will give me more of the special cough medicine.

Serious questions, who and where do most people watch the show and what kind of delay is there between London airing and being able to watch it here.

Someone probably posted this before but it's new to me after I saw the John Barrowman "Wizard and I" on page like 12, I came across "The Doctor and I".

I love his voice btw

I watch it online at tvshack.net! and I think there is a three-week delay between airing overseas and airing here? Maybe four weeks, or maybe just two. But if you watch it online, you can watch it as it airs in the UK.

Or this

Amy/River is a possibility, since the Doctor asked River if she were married... However, everything about River indicates to me that she's a 51st Century woman. My theory is that she's a Time Agent when the Doctor meets her, and Jack Harkness is her partner. Something happens and Jack's memory gets erased so he doesn't remember River at all, and thus loses those two years he blamed the Time Agents for taking from him.

Damn. Well, still stuck in the slow lane over here.

Part one of the finale airs on Saturday. I thought last's weeks ep was a'ight, though a bit uneven. Doctor Who as sitcom had its moments.

(I've decided I'm going to post in this w/o reading anything, since I'm itching to talk about it. Only read Swami's post about Ninja on a fluke)

Btw, the Van Gogh episode was right up there with the Madame de Pompadour episode. Can't wait to read what y'all said about it.

The Doctor looks surprisingly like himself. I think he is a Simpsons character in real life.

Okay, we have, like, 2 days before the finale begins.

Anyone up for speculation using the clues laid forth this season???

So as I was idly going back through some of the episodes, I was amazed at how heavily perception filters play into many of the stories - 1. Prisoner Zero used a perception filter on that room in Amy's house for 12 years, 2. The guy who "invented" the Daleks for WWII didn't know he was an android due to a perception filter, 3. The Doctor mentions a perception filter as to why they didn't notice the statues, or maybe they're just thick, 4. The Giant Fish-Folk were using perception filters to look like humans, 5. (kind of) the Dream Lord's realities were due to a kind of perception, 6. van Gogh could perceive a giant space chicken when no one else could.� Also he could perceive art all around, and 7. The upstairs flat was created by perception filter.

People have been going on that one of the main themes was dreams and forgetting/remembering, and I don't doubt that will figure into the finale, as well as the fairytale motifs, but I was just struck yesterday when I reviewed how many times a perception filter has been mentioned.� My bet, Amy's going to have to save the world by seeing through something.� (No, I'm not going to get any less vague than that.)

Wow! Well done!

Not entirely out of the picture forever, but just for a while.

I like Amy too.

I... I will come out of the closet and admit that I keep a toe (fine, a whole foot) firmly dipped into the Doctor Who and Torchwood FanFiction pool, and into the fandom in general, so I hear all sort of opinions about Amy and how she's uneven, and how she's shouty, and how she's bossy, but those are all things that I think work well for her. They worked well for Donna! I love when women are strong and don't rely entirely on the Doctor to save them, but take matters into their own hands too. I like this so so much in Amy.

And the fanfiction I find (well the good stuff) is written by people who have a very observant eye and a flexible imagination, and they build on what Moff has given us, and fill out some of the missing bits, and consequently, though I see and can accept the criticisms of Amy, I feel like in most cases people aren't looking at her whole picture.

I see her as immature, so I make allowances for her a lot, particularly in the way she treats Rory, which I know some other people have screamed about at length. She doesn't treat him badly, maybe a little thoughtlessly but her heart is right, and he's more than proved he's worthwhile. I see her as a little broken though, what with the obsessing she did over her imaginary friend her whole life, and how she coped with that. Though the Doctor came back to her after a 14 year interval, she is, in a lot of ways, that same little girl who gave him the apple, and he's just as new, so I see them growing together. She hasn't come to us fully-formed, so I'm willing to let her grow throughout her time with us.

I need to think more about what I want to say about River Song, but I don't not like her, I like her very much. But I need to be able to articulate why, so back in a bit, I guess.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

I'll admit that I really hated the chip on Amy's shoulder at first. But I've changed. Now I think that the chip is what makes her tick, and it probably has a lot to do with

SPOILER

the cracks that took everyone from her memory and left her alone. You would end up being shouty and having an attitude if you weren't even aware of what was causing you to feel certain things or cry without knowing why. Amy has never been given the chance to get to know herself or grieve or deal with loss. She has that attitude that people do when they feel alone and angry and don't know why. And on top of that, she was left for years waiting for answers from her imaginary friend, while people sneered at her (even in her latest reality). There's tons of fodder for the way she is, and it makes her more interesting.

Anyway, that's what I think about it.

Steven Moffat has confirmed that the series split is not as it you'd think it is:

�I kept referring to a mid-season finale. So we are going to make it two series � seven episodes at Easter building to an earth-shattering climax, a cliffhanger we could never normally do because it would be too long before it came back. An enormous game-changing cliffhanger that will change everything. The wrong expression would be to say we are splitting it in two. We are making it two separate series.�

Sounds like we may get the River Song episode alluded to a the end of the season finale, where everything will change after he meets her.

I had first interpreted that as two full seasons in 2011 (well, 12 episodes, as full a season as the Brits will give us) so I was excited upon first reading. I'm not sure I'm a fan of a months-long hiatus.

I figured something like that would happen. Can't have the Doctor hit his last regeneration when there's always an opportunity for new fans as the years go on and on.

My thinking is that the Timelords imposed that limit upon themselves, barring special circumstances. The Master figured out a way to resurrect himself after his 12th regeneration a couple of times, but was eventually killed and his remaining essence was taken to Gallifrey by the 8th Doctor (Paul McGann in the Doctor Who movie made for Fox). Later he said the Timelords resurrected him, thinking he would be perfect for their war. But he ran away... then we see who was leading the Timelords through the war... Rassilon, the first Timelord, evidently resurrected just like the Master.

So with all that going on, and every Timelord engaged in a huge war on their home planet, I would think any restrictions on how many regenerations were allowed would have been lifted, thus allowing the Doctor to regenerate multiple times, so long as he's not so badly injured his body can't activate a regeneration.

The Doctor will live on forever, or at least for as long as television producers want him on the air.

So do Gallifreyans regenerate? Or just Time Lords? I know they're not the same thing, though sometimes the Doctor talks like they are. It's Gallifreyans who have binary vascular systems, although some sources say that Time Lords don't grow second hearts until after their first regeneration. What I'm wondering is if it's a natural thing the people of that planet do, or if all this remarkable control over his body is something the Doctor learned at the Academy in prep for becoming a Time Lord? If it's inherent to the species, how awful that the time lords stopped other Gallifreyans from doing it too.

I don't know, it's getting harrier the more I think about it.

The second heart after the first regeneration is essentially an apologist theory. At some point during William Hartnell's run, he was examined and identified as human, or at least that he just had one heart. Later, during either Troughton's or Pertwee's run the producers decided they wanted him more alien, so he got a second heart. Of course, the fans couldn't have a continuity gap, hence the first regeneration theory.

Gallifreyans regenerate. It's part of their genetic makeup. Timelords tend to regenerate more often, due to the danger they're put in during their explorations. Though Borusa regenerated 4 times while he was serving as a politician, then he sought immortality after his 12th regeneration.

Can I just say I am amazingly underwhelmed by the Character Options line of action figures for series 5. Even after 3 separate waves (or releases), they choose to give us figures of: a stone roman soldier (not Rory), a half-formed, regenerating weeping angel, an ordinary Silurian, The Vampire Princely dude (not even his cool mother with her awesome dress!), and FIVE versions of smilers.

Is it really too much to ask for some of the AWESOME characters to play with? An actual Rory, to go with Amy? The dream lord? VINCENT VAN GOGH??

THE DOCTOR IN ONLY A TOWEL??????

Please! That's what I'd like to have in my collection! Not a damned smiler.

Can I just say I am amazingly underwhelmed by the Character Options line of action figures for series 5.� Even after 3 separate waves (or releases), they choose to give us figures of: a stone roman soldier (not Rory), a half-formed, regenerating weeping angel, an ordinary Silurian, The Vampire Princely dude (not even his cool mother with her awesome dress!), and FIVE versions of smilers.

Is it really too much to ask for some of the AWESOME characters to play with?� An actual Rory, to go with Amy?� The dream lord?� VINCENT VAN GOGH??

THE DOCTOR IN ONLY A TOWEL??????

Please!� That's what I'd like to have in my collection!� Not a damned smiler.

They've seemed pretty light in their toy releases, at least when it comes to providing fun options for the season. I would collect a Vincent Van Gogh or the Doctor in his footballer kit...

Speaking of Vincent... my daughter asked me to read a new book to her last night called "Vincent Van Gogh's Cat." I read the title aloud, and used the American punctuation: Van-Go... my son immediately corrected me and said, "that's Van-Goff!"

I couldn't be prouder.

I watched episode 1 of season 1 a few months ago, but it seemed old and hokey and I thought I must be watching the wrong version of the series. My grandpa used to watch it when I was young and I remember the super curley afro-who from the 1970 version and this looked like it might be an 80's version at first.

I checked the date last night and saw that it was actually 2005 that I was watching so I gave episode 2 a go. It was... better. At least no worse than any Star Trek Next Generation episode that I would still enjoy today. Presumably over 5 more seasons it gets really fantastic. Am I watching the right thing?

It does get better, and less cheesy. They were playing a bit safe in those first few, but if you get halfway through the season, you'll hit 'Father's Day'. That's the episode that really hooked me.

Good to know. I wasn't even trying very hard in the first episode because I thought it was surely not the right one (because the actor playing the doctor was not who I thought was playing the doctor).

I'll keep at it.

The super-curly afro Who was Tom Baker, who played the Doctor for 8 years from 1974 to 1981.

If Father's Day doesn't hook you, hold out for the Empty Child, and see where you are from there. "Dalek" was my hook, from an old Who-fan standpoint. It was incredible to see the Daleks actually be a force to reckon with, rather than rolling pepper-pots. It was also amazing to see the Doctor as a burnt-out soldier feeling his hatred for the enemy one final time. Honestly, it was a Doctor I didn't expect to see.

Also, as far as hooks, I started backwards and watched series 4 first, so that's what hooked me, and then I went back to the beginning and ~~glutted~~watched that concurrently as series 4 played in real-time each week. So there ya go. I don't know how it might have turned out if I'd gone in at 1x01.

Lately I've been drawing people in by having them watch "Blink" (series 3, Carey Mulligan episode) and then immediately starting them on the Matt Smith/Karen Gillan series (series 5). It seems to do the trick!

I started from the beginning, and upon re-watching series 1 a few months ago, I honestly cannot tell you what made me stay with it. I watched up to "Father's Day" and then I remembered. So stick with it, Big D! <3

I think part of it was that I identified really strongly with Rose at that point in my life, though on second and third viewings I can clearly see the faults in the character (though I still love her). I'd say my favorite companions now are Donna (s4) and Amy (s5).

I think I'll be okay. I stay up with Baby Dexter every night from 9-12 while Mrs. Dexter sleeps and usually we spend it watching TV together, and I'm already looking forward to episode 4.

I like how British people don't have to be hot to be on TV.

*snort* I like how British actors have a bit of personality. (I think Billie Piper is effing adorable. Catherine Tate is equally so, and can be really lovely when she's not pulling her amazing faces. And have you SEEN Karen Gillan and Freema Agyeman? GOOORGEOUS.)

I LOVED Chris Eccleston as the Doctor. More so than David Tennant. *ducking*
