Doctor Who

First topic message reminder :



any one ?

now i am speaking of the current series, although if anyone has seen the original please feel free to discuss as it is nice to compare to the remake.

personally, i love it ^^ . i do remember the old BBC series that aired here in the US on PBS (Public Broadcast Station) now it took me a bit to get use to the changing of "The Doctor"
from series I to series II, i know that's how its supposed to work in the orig series, and in the comics (yes he had his own comic and appeared regularly with in the pages of Death's Head and .. *gasps* Transformers   )
.. but on television with different actors .. its an adjustment

anyways ..

comments, thoughts .. discuss

audio clips * oO
sorta like books on tape

neat find * speaking of "Rise of the Cybermen"
i just caught that story arc with the 10th Doctor (again)
/
knoticed a few plot holes (involving Torchwood) but * always nice to see ^_^

These trailers have been showing on the BBC for a few days now. Personally I think this looks like it'll be better then the previous two Xmas stories.

Oh and hi BTW.

I missed voyage of the damned been on vacation now when I get home monday I need to dowload it

S2 of Torchwood started yesterday and it was fecking awesome!

A lot more fun then any of the S1 episodes which had been quite a dreary affair IMO.

James Masters (Spike from BtVS) was pure win!

I am waiting for season 4 of doctor who so bad then I will be happy thank goodness I( got digital cable to watch it

do we know when it's supposed to air in the US ?

Sci Fi should get it around June or so, it starts in UK in I believe May.

After seeing Voyage of the Damned (this years christmas special) I gotta say, I liked it for the toss back to the really corny over the top years the show had where it was inintentionally funny. Shame they killed of Kylie Minogue though, she would have made a great co-star...

They found a way to un kill your namesake. I wouldn't give up all hope.

they used an old Timelord resurrection thing that stores the regenerations that are taken from a Timelord as punishment for a crime by the high councel, it was mentioned before they could bring timelords back from the deal with the device. so tahts not really "finding a way" to bring someone back to life.

also, the role she played was human not a timelord, and she was lost in a transport beam, she literally was taken out of existence and ended up scattered.

Yeah, i'm gonna miss Kylie (AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI! OI! OI!), but i still miss Rose more

I'm hoping that they do something better with this season, I'm not so sure i'd like the idea of them bringing back Cat Tate's character Donna, or if I'm really up for more Martha, cuz damn do I hate the idea of Freema as a companion, she should have stayed on Torchwood with Jack where she fits better. Oh well I got faith.

So.. if you haven't seen it.....

its most appreciated bythose of us who cannot watch due to
a/ work firewall will not allow
b/ home connection/dial up/too slow to watch

thank you

BTW..do you know when SciFi is gonna pick it back up ?

I always forget about restrictions on some people's work accounts and stuff, one of the downsides of working from home 80% of the time...

and yeah Sci Fi's got it as long as it runs, they're helping with budget, the show's budget comes from BCC Cardif, CBC in Canada, Sci Fi in the states (with BBC America and PBS getting them 18 months or so after original air dates). So they'll have it by June or so, right around the time the BBC run is finished for the year, it'll be standard issue airing, they start with the Christmas Special then go into the show from there. Its kind of the same set up BBC, CBC and BBC America have for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

If you've not seen this years Christmas Special, its a pretty good mix of the really good new style and sort of a half tribute to the old style of over the top cheese passed off by talented actors as credible sci fi all rolled together in a send up to The Posiden Adventure (one of my favorite movies btw), that doesn't make it a bad episode, just don't be expecting "Dalek" or the family blood episodes level of writing here, still very enjoyable, plus, well, hello, Kylie Minogue...

I'm so excited!
