Doctor Who

Well now, we have a new season, and a new doctor, upon us. So, GFF, who here has been keeping up with the world's most beloved and longest running sci-fi series? I mean, yes yes, we're all sad to see Tennant go, as he was fantastic, but we have a new doctor now and we must adjust. The http://doctorwendigo.files.wordpress...nant-specs.jpg is dead. Long live the http://jeremyrowe1.files.wordpress.c...matt-smith.jpg So, moving forwards, yeah? Who all is watching this and what are our thoughts on the season so far? Or even on the past seasons? In short, Doctor Who is awesome and deserves some conversation. |
I got a warm and fuzzy feeling when I saw an ad for the new series at the movie theater yesterday, before Kick-Ass. My absolute favorite show since I was a little kid, and this is the first time it's gotten a major ad push in the US.
So yeah, I had my doubts about Matt Smith, but the first three episodes have blown me away. Getting back to some of the more old-school stuff (like the TARDIS never landing at the time it's supposed to) is a nice touch. Also requesting the thread be titled "Doctor Who", since I think Dr. Who is only used in those terrible movies from the 60's where the Doctor is a human. |
That's a good point, actually. We should get it changed to Doctor Who.
I came in late to the series, only really getting into it just before the series rebooted in 05. I have been utterly captivated so far. I managed to find a complete torrent (as complete as possible, anyway) and loved the older stuff. I too was worried about Smith, but that first episode won me over immediately. "Twelve years and four psychiatrists!" |
I watched every episode of the first series of New Who, but my dedication has waned with each new series. That's changed now that Steven Moffat has taken charge of the series; his episodes have always been miles above the rest in terms of quality: The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink...
I like Smith a bit more than Tennant. He's a bit quirkier, a bit more of "The Doctor" I expect. Amy Pond isn't half bad either. The Weeping Angels are back next week. Oh yes. |
I have to say, Amy Pond has impressed the hell out of me. My favourite companion in quite some time, I must say.

Man I had completely missed that the series episodes had started broadcasting already. Off to the torrents I guess! I did happen to see a clip where the Daleks appeared (Shocking :rolleyes: ), and they were of various colors for some reason or another, was that just some sort of reference or was it a plot point?

I'm actually keeping fairly to date with this! (Slightly New Doctor fan!) I'm liking how the new season is going, and the new doctor is...much like the previous few, though "nerd chic!"
Can someone point me at the episodes that the Angels have appeared in before? |
There's been just one episode, Series 3 episode 10, "Blink". It was a fantastic episode, still one of my favourites.
I'm actually really liking Matt Smith as the Doctor. The new series seems to be doing pretty well. Can't wait to see the resolution of the Angel episode! |

Did you get a chance to see Matt Smith on Jonathan Ross right before the new series started? I think Ross mentions how great Tennant was like, six times. Hilarious. |
Wonderful episode last night! Good ending to the Angels! That and Amy Pond...scandalous.
