I just finished watching the first episode of series 4 of Doctor Who. (Partners in Crime). I guess Voyage of the Damned (episode 0) premieres tonight on SciFi. This one is a pretty silly episode about weight loss pills that make the fat literally walk away. It reminds me of the first Sara Jane Adventure about the soda pop with secret ingredient Bane. Catherine Tate is back and seems to be much toned down from series 3's Christmas special even though her mom is really annoying. There is pretty funny moment when the Doctor sees Tate again. All I kept thinking was Run away Doctor! Run away! Big suprise at the ending that we kind of talked about in the Torchwood thread.
It's good to have the Doctor back.
-
I quite enjoyed the episode and agree that CT had been much toned down and looks like she's going to be very good. I've got the next episode in my top 10 of all Whos (classic and new) although I know some people will hate it. Tate was even better and appears to be able to keep the Doctor on the right track morally. Ood are in Ep 3 tomorrow night - nice to see the US is much closer to our (the UK's) transmission dates this series.
-
I didn't care for Partners in Crime too much, but the Fires of Pompeii is quite good. Will be looking for the Ood episode on-line today.
-
I've seen every episode that has premiered so far. Check out VEOH.com
Pompeii was really really good. I can't wait till tomorrow when they upload episode 3, Actually it may get uploaded late tonight :o. Hopefully.

Ood were on a few hours ago...another very good episode. Would be interested to hear what you guys think of the Ood's "prediction" at the end of the ep when you see it.
-
Watching it now, its up on veoh now.
-
Caught the Ood episode, another very good one. Really looking forward to the Santarans next week, though.
-
Just finished the Planet of the Ood. Great episode just like the last one. Few questions. What did the Ood mean by the Doctor's song is coming to end? Do you think the four revealed Cylons are hearing the Ood's song? And what is with the bees disappearing? Is the bee thing a reoccuring thing like the "Bad Wolf" to be revealed in the final episode?
-
Have they mentioned the bees thing before?? I thought that was the first time.
Well there are only 2 regens left for the doctor, so if you think about it, his song is coming to an end. :-\
-

Don't forget the Master outlived his number of regenerations. He was on his last one back in the Tom Baker years...and must have had at least three since then.

There was something about him cheating in the American movie. The Doctor was bringing his remains back to Gallifrey and somehow, after he stole Eric Roberts body, he was using the eye of harmony to reset himself. I think. It's been a while.
-
That sounds right. The Master cheated and reset his lives. Isn't the last regen of the Doctor suppost to make him evil?
-
He's supposed to turn evil somewhere between life 12 and 13 (according to Trial of a Time Lord) I'm not sure that the 12 regeneration thing applies in the new series, I don't think it's been mentioned. The Doctor's age certainly doesn't tie up with the classic series as the 7th doc was 953 when he started his reign. The time lords reset the Master's lives so I suppose anything is possible and during the classic series he got by with stealing bodies!
-
Yah that was the plot for that 90's movie, I watched it about 4 months ago on youtube.
Speaking of old series, I have only seen the first 10 stories with the very first doctor. I believe I got to the sensorites. Then they all got deleted. Sidereel hasn't updated them and I can't seem to find them anywhere. DVDs/videos are not available in stores or on ebay. Anybody have an idea where I could watch these.

It might be impossible to hunt them all down. The BBC accidently erased a lot of shows containing the first two or three Doctors.
As for the Master, he was on Regeneration #13 in the Tom Baker years and was decaying essentially. He took over someones body in one episode. I forget who it was, but he had black hair and a goatee. He kept that persona at least through Tommy Davidson...and maybe Colin Baker. I'm not sure if he was in any of the Sylvester McCoy episodes. In the movie on Fox, the Master was only shown in shadows at the beginning and was executed by the Daleks, then as mentioned in a post above, his ashes and essence took over someone else's body. A little weird since both bodies he took over were not Galifreyians.
-

That's right, I think it was Nyssa's father.
-
Of course for the latest Master regeneration he takes over the body of that time travelling police officer Sam Tyler from Life on Mars. ;)

Tremas, which is an anagram of something ;D
-
A little weird since both bodies he took over were not Galifreyians.
Well as the doctor stated in the 90's movie, hes only half gallifreyan or something like that. :P The master figured it out because of the retinal structure of the doctors eye.
-
The one thing I was wondering about the Master was who burned his body after he refused to regenrate and what is the significance of the ring taken off of his hand. I think we will see him again. The Daleks were supposed to be destroyed and we have seen them several times.
-

I'm trying to block that from memory. :-X

Episode 4 is on youtube right now.

-
Not a bad conclusion to the Santaran story at all. I always liked the Santarans, and aside from uniform color choice, I think they were updated superbly.
Next week's is a must see...
-
So is this the mother of his granddaughter(very first Doctor). One thing I just realized is because of the regenerations, he could have a daughter thats younger than his granddaughter which is totally weird. ??? I'm a bit confused as to how this is gonna fit in the story line as I thought all the gallifreyans died during the time war. Or was it just Gallifrey and its Fleet? Are there still other timelords on other planets, and if not time lords, just gallifreyans as the term is not interchangeable. This will be kinda odd.
Adam
-
I guess all will be answered this Saturday. She could be a half breed (half human.)
As for all the time lords being dead though, I wonder if that applies to Romona since she was trapped in E-space.
-
All of the Time Lords could be dead but still wondering around space and time. This show is about time travel.
-
It was a time war, they are gone from time and space, He said Gallifrey was gone from time and space soo. If I remember right that the Timelords did not meddle in history (the doctor being the exception) So if they are erased from time and space, history won't miss them. Who knows though there could be timelords and plain gallifreyans still around.
Anton, wouldn't she be 3/4ths human? :P
-
The Doctor's Daughter, another really decent episode. I figured the ending would happen, just not in the way that it did.
-
Yah I was quite surprised with how she was able to survive.
Some people think it was her gallifreyan ancestry. However only time lords can regenerate not all gallifreyans. Or was it since she was only a couple hours old was she able to grow a new heart with the residual energy like the doctor did with his hand. Or was it the "source" that did it, what came out of her mouth looked like the gas. Or was a combination of 2 or more of the above? How will this play out I wonder.
-
Sadly, I was thinking 'the genesis effect" (linked to the source) like in Star Trek. :P
-
Never watched trek in my life. Wouldn't know :P
-
Never watched trek in my life. Wouldn't know :P
yah right. ;)
I just finished the poison gas episode. Great joke when the Doctor and army guy are wearing gas masks and the Doctor says, "Are you my Mommy?" Nice little brief clip of Rose on the monitor.
I might be able to get away with watching the Doctor's Daughter her at work. My question is doesn't the Doctor already have a Granddaughter? As I remember the original Doctor was suppost to be showing her around the galaxy in a semi-educational type show. Then the show evolved into this.
-
I finished the Doctor's Daughter. It wasn't as good as the last episode but I smell a spin off. I can see Jenny poping in and out every so often. The Doctor just has to keep her away from Jack.
-
Nice little brief clip of Rose on the monitor.
That's why she got a credit. I missed that shot.
-
My question is doesn't the Doctor already have a Granddaughter?
Yah we were talking about that last page. Susan was his Grandaughter. Technically Jenny is her Aunt, however like I stated earlier. Its weird because Susan may be on her 2nd or 3rd regen if she can.... I dunno if she was a time lord she may have just been Gallifreyan. But then Jenny, Susans Aunt is younger than her by possibly hundreds of years.
-
Cute episode that Unicorn and the Wasp. Next weeks though (two weeks really,) that's going to be the bomb! A Stephen Mofatt 2 parter which already has the buzz of out doing all of he other episodes.
-
I enjoyed the Unicorn and the Wasp. It kind of felt like a PBS Christy mystery. It was much better than I though and way better than the last episode. It's funny how the Priest always does it.
-
"Mark twain Surrounded by ghosts" :P lol
-
I just watched Shada for the first time. Great concept, too bad it never got finished. :( Now I think I've seen every episode available.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q24aD8-k3Hc
Looks like the rumors are true! If thats not davros emerging from the shadows... well... I might cry...
-
Yup. That's him. Played by Terry Molloy.
-
Awesome! Thanks Straxus.
-
Just watched Silence in the library..............
Not scary at all, and this writer is known for scary.........
ah well
-
However the conciousness still living on for a while in the communicator was rather disturbing. It would be bad enough having someone you know die, but to have the conciousness fade away while still talking to you afterwards. That was far far more creepy than the critters that ate you in the shadows.
-
Sadly, I'm forced to agree with you smartypants, but then again, I think I hyped this one up in my mind too much. I also agree with Straxus, my wife teared up a bit with the first ghosting scene and I can appreciate how it helped motivate the "dead suit." Still, good moments though - the doctor showing up on the TV was brilliant, what happened to Donna shocking, and I'm hoping that there's a great pay-off to everything next week. As it stands though, weakest of the Steven Moffet episodes so far.
-
That's the word I was looking for. I mean Child in the fireplace was not exactly frightening, however it was written very well. This just didn't really do it for me. And whats up with the chick who travelled with the doctor, it's such a weird little story twist, I don't think it was needed.
Adam
EDIT: have any of you seen this mini-episode TIME CRASH (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Crash)
-
And whats up with the chick who travelled with the doctor, it's such a weird little story twist, I don't think it was needed.
On the contrary, that's the type of thing they never do that they should have been doing since day two. Gives the show a Lost vibe and something to build toward. Plus, it means we'll see more of Alex Kingston.
Have seen Time Crash, though. Fun. Do you know that the doctor's daughter is Peter Davidson's Daughter?
-
yup
-
I like the part where Alex shows her sonic screwdriver and says "Snap!". That's just like when the Doctor meet the 5th Doctor in Time Crash. Fun episode there expectally having Donna "Saved" at the end.
-
The new DW has always been kind of mixed. I think this is the weakest season overall. I am enjoying "Silence in the Library" but I agree that Stephen Moffatt has done better. I can't wait to see what happens next series, now that he's the head writer.
-
Forrest of the Dead, absolutely a satisfying ending. Nice build up. Still, not as cool as Blink, but proves that Moffat is a cut above just about every writer on the planet.
-
Definate satisfying ending for episode 9. I like the idea of everyone being saved to the hard drive just like Scotty on Star Trek. The little girl IS the computer and Song knowing the Doctor's name and the Doctor "saved" her. Good stuff.
-

Midnight.
So far so good. Very scary
-
I was pleasantly surprised with Midnight. Not bad for a small budget episode.
-
Good little episode. It reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 feet and that episode where the martians turned off the power to a neightborhood and watched the people kill each other. Good little shot of Rose. Is that music video they were playing one of Billie Pippers? The voice thing gets a little annoying after a while.
-
OMFG BEST ENDING EVER. Episode was a little boring, but sets up for episodes with the Torchwood and Sarah jane characters. ITS GONNA BE EPIC
-
Indeed!
I have never seen the Jarah Jane Chronicals (or whatever her show was called) so some of the characters that they showed must have been supporting cast from that? Epic indeed! Grand crossover, daleks, davros (that had to be him laughing), rhino dudes, destruction of biblical proportions, dog and cats living together, mass hysteria!
-
I nearly wet myself watching the preview. The next weeks are going to be awesome!
I actually liked last nights episode. Nice set up for things to come.
-
It should be considering this is a complete reset of all three shows. The BBC has pretty much fired everyone in production and put Steven Moffat in charge. We are going to see a huge change as Who goes into hiatus and Torchwood and SJA try to fill the void.
-
Davros Trailer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EyIEbz7y7Q) :)
-
Here are links to Sarah Jane Season 1. It was designed as a kids show to accompany the Torchwood seasons for the adults. So some points are a little childish.
Sarah Jane adventures (http://www.sidereel.com/The_Sarah_Jane_Adventures) K9 makes appearances too.
Heres A link to Torchwood episodes. Season 1 and 2. So if you havn't seen them all. Catch up.
Torchwood (http://www.sidereel.com/Torchwood)
-
A bit irritated with the end of torchwood season 2. >:( killing off the @$$hole of the show. Thats no fun... @$$holes make the world more interesting!
Just started watching SJA episodes last night, figured I needed to catch up to know who some of the supporting cast were from that show that will be in Doctor Who. (other than Sarah Jane, I know who she is...)
Sweet! Just watched that trailer Darth_Anton!
-
SJA is a lot better than I thought it would be. I was worried when I heard the premise with a bunch of teenagers, but I think they pulled it off pretty well. It has nice tie-ins with the modern Dr. Who and even some classic stuff. I hope they use K-9 more in the next season.
-
I've been looking for the classic series on a torrent, I have found some but never reliable or small enough.
Now when you look at this torrent it may seem big 155.6 gigs.
BUT Its every episode for THE FIRST 5 DOCTORS.
Thought you might like it.
the first 5 doctors (http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/20103992/the+unearthly+child?tab=summary)
-
Are these the shows that are partial slideshows because the BBC wrote over the original tape recordings?
-
A quick look at the list makes me seem it is not everything for the first five. That would be Hartnell through Davison. Many first three episodes were lost as stated above by Phruby. If it is everything, it would have to be video tape transfers or some such. I'm not sure how prevelent reruns were of the first three. I know PBS stations would do reruns, but I don't recall seeing anything pre Tom Baker except for the regeration from Pertwee to Baker.
-
The Pertwee series is actually complete. They have most of Harnell, but sadly, a lot of Throughton is gone.
In prep for this weekend, I started re-watching Genesis of the Daleks (Tom Baker.) It's actually a really good story.
-
Yah there are several reconstructions in there, but everything that is still intact is in there aswell.
I'm downloading seasons 1-3 right now, as I don't have time to download all 155 gigs of video. I leave for my Grandparents houseboat sunday morning and I still have about 22 hours of downloading left. It would have been faster but I couldn't grab any of the 160 some seeds. There's hundreds and hundreds downloading this right now.
I have seen some of the Actual video of the first Doctor up into season 2 right before the daleks invasion of earth episode. S02 e02.
These are the real deal. I had been watching them online till they got pulled by the BBC. :( there were a few missing however. Marco polo is a reconstruction, as well as several others.
That's about as good as it's gonna get folks, unless someone has them recorded somehow.
-
That's about as good as it's gonna get folks, unless someone has them recorded somehow.
They've been searching for years. Every once in a while an episode will show up, but I think they found just about all of them they're going to find. It's a shame too. I was reading the synopsis for Evil of the Daleks and it really seemed like an outstanding episode.
Did I mention I was boning up on Davros and the Daleks for tonight?
-
Oh. My. God. Best Doctor Who episode ever!
Seriously. The end of tonight's episode is the ultimate cliffhanger and they didn't show a preview for next week. I could just scream.
-
For those having problem finding/watching episode...
http://www.sidereel.com/Doctor_Who_(2005) (http://www.sidereel.com/Doctor_Who_(2005))
Great episode. Cliffhanger was PAINFULL!!!
-
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF.
Man I'm gonna miss next weeks cause of being away from internet. Damn houseboat.
I seriously can't believe that that happened. I really hope its still Him and he doesnt change. Some time lords can control their new appearance
-
EDIT- er woops, never mind...
-
That was posted on April first buddy. When I read that I was relieved, thought that the severed hand may have stopped it, then I looked at the comments. >:(
Yah Get my hopes up before I leave to a place with no internet to see what happens. >:(
-
I watched the episode again to take in all the information. That, and it was just plain cool seeing Davros in action again, and seeing that they nailed him.
-
heheh I guess I should have read the date and comments on that link.... oh well.
Did anyone get a Palpatine kinda feel from the way Davros was portrayed in the episode? I liked it, even though I was a fan of angry sputtering Davros, this was cool too.
-
OMG! I can not believe that! I guess it all totally makes sense with what we know. That is a huge cliff hanger. Nothing like a complete reboot on three shows!
I got that feeling too about Davros. He's Palpatine to the red Dalak's Vader.
-
Doctor Who returns to PBS!
My wife and I were flipping around the stations last night at 9PM when we landed on the very opening of the were-wolf episode. I was very excited since PBS is where Doctor Who all began for me.
Oh yeah, here's a teaser (http://www.blogtorwho.blogspot.com/) for next week. You have to scroll down a little now.
-
So before we see who the 11th Doctor will be tonight, anyone want to take a guess? Is the Doctor going to be a woman? Sure would mess up Rose. Is it going to be the 10th Doctor (via the use of the hand?) Or is he going to be...
(http://blog.buycostumes.com/uploaded_images/PeeWeeHerman-1-749569.jpg)
-
Well, Journey's End was certainly a great wrap up, but they did cheese out on the cliffhanger. Not that they didn't explain it all well, but it certainly changed the tone of the episode. Loved the ending scene in the TARDIS. It's cool to find out new information about it. All post more thoughts once people have gotten a chance to see it.
One problem though for those of you waiting to see it on Sci-Fi, they're cutting 20 minutes from it. >:(
-
It was a great wrap up to the series. Devros was definately doing a impression of the Emporer the entire time. Good twist at the end. I like the insane Dalek. Rose got her "Doctor" back after all. The Donna arc is now complete. No need to see her again. This makes me wonder if Jack is going to stay on Torchwood or not. This conclusion didn't setup anything for his departure.
I thought it was funny how they stole the Delek weapon idea from Ender's Game. Didn't Ender use a weapon that broke the bonds of atoms to kill off the buggers?
I wonder what 20 minutes they are removing? Gotta have those commericals.
-
This makes me wonder if Jack is going to stay on Torchwood or not. This conclusion didn't setup anything for his departure.
Didn't he basically ask Martha to join Torchwood?
-
I do remember that.
It's funny. I've been reading some of the Doctor Who forums about the finalie. It got pretty mixed reviews. Some people didn't like having all the other spinoff characters in the show. They thought it was confusing for those that didn't watch Torchwood or SJA and wondering who all these people were. Of course if they watched the last four seasons they should know who these people were.
-
Just got back from vacation where there was no internet. LOVED IT. Loved the regeneration bit. The hand and Donna was interesting as well. I do feel sad after I watched it all the way through now. He's alone again even after everyone was with him for that brief time.
-
Thank you, youtube!
I had never actually seen any of the McCoy area seasons. Took a little detective work, but people have posted the entire area. In fact, they've gone through the trouble of uploading every complete story of the classic series.
-
Do you have a link to those shows?
-
Good find anton, I had been watching said videos on youtube before they got deleted before. Make sure you use the youtube download tool and download those videos unless you wanna go through 155 gigs of a torrent just for the first 5 doctors :(
-
Just finished watching Genesis of the Dalaks. Good story but kind of long and slow. Maybe I'm use to the manic pace of the new show. Davros sure does sound like a Dalak when he's get mad. So do some of the nazi guys. My question is, why does Davros keep hitting the same button on his control panel? Pretty lame how the Doctor talks himself out of blowing up all the Dalaks because the fear and suffering they will spread throughtout the galaxy will bring worlds together in peace. What kind of reasoning is this? So billions have to die so people are forced to work together against a common threat? Wouldn't they have a better life than banning together in fear. He knew what kind of death they would spread but he when all European pacifist on us instead.
The best moment is when the Doctor comes screaming out of the room where they are growing Dalaks with three of them stuck to his face! Best quote is "My foot is stuck in a giant clam!".
-
Do you have a link to those shows?
They go by show number. Time and the Rani is 147p (p stands for part.) The rest are sequential.
-
Just finished watching the McCoy series. McCoy was certainly a decent Doctor, but the first two seasons were kind of light. The third and final season though, wow. Not ground-breaking or anywhere near modern production values, but they really changed the tone and wrote some really interesting and darkish stories - a pleasant surprise.

Sonic screwdriver (http://www.therpf.com/showpost.php?p=636889&postcount=87)
DO WANT
edit: link fixed
-
I stopped by the EFX booth at Comic-con and they had some Doctor who props they were getting ready to produce. The difference is, the guy who works with this company (who I talked with for about ten minutes) actually build the original props for the show, including the sonic screwdriver, laser screwdriver, Cyberman helmet and a full size Davros bust. Their Sonic screw driver, which is amazing, costs about $200 and will be available in November.
-
Yah, thats Prolly either Chris or Neill. The 2 guys who are filling in the details for the guys at RPF. It looks like the SS wont have a Slide like the actual prop. As the Art team always wanted us at home to think it extended automatically, they are having the EFX guys make it a spring loaded mechanism. There will still be Sound and Lights. And this prop is accurate to the Tennant Prop, the Eccleston Prop has a few varying features and uses red and black wires instead of yellow.
-
Star Wars Action News has an interview with eFX in one of their recent podcasts. eFX said they were having a bit of a problem with the sonic screwdriver getting sound components into it. However, the BBC said that they would use eFX's prop in the show if everything gets fixed.
-
Does Arnie still make the annoying whinning sound? "But I NNNEEEDDDD IT!" His wife needs to slap him more often. ;)

Which would mean We would all have exact screen accurate props :P
Its like startrek apparently. The guys at RPF said that the New Startrek all used the toys right out of the box for their phasers. So the toy is screen accurate.
-

I don't think he has used that one for a while...you can always check the backlog of episodes. They had great coverage of SDCC...2 hour+ podcast.
-
Next season for the Doctor is 2010.
2008-2009 is 4 specials, the christmas show, the Red Nose Day in Nov, and the Prom (already on YOUTUBE).
Christmas is Victorian England with Cybermen and Cybermats. And Gold Cybermen.
The PROM was a concert being conducted by a Dalek and a Cybermen with Davros and a 10 minute Dr. Who show.
The last special of the 4 will bring back the time lords (the Master) and reset everything to status quo pre-R.T. Davis (as per Davis wish).
Sarah Jane gets Sontarans this series
-
Don't know if I wanted to read that. :P
I'll have to take everything as it goes. The Time Lord/Time War story really made the series, I'd hate to see it go.
Incidentally, my wife pointed out something I had forgotten when we finished up the 4th season. We know that there's a logical chance that Martha will end up on Torchwood, replacing Owen, but I had forgotten that Micky knows a thing or two about computers. Will he replace Tosh?
-
I can't remember. Did Mickey stay in this world or go back with Doctor/Donna and Rose?
-
I'm pretty sure he stayed in this world. Didn't he run off to catch up with Captain Jack (or was it Martha?) at the end of that last episode?
E...

Yes, he did.

I just hang out with a buddy who say Hamlet (with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant) last week. He said it was awesome. I'm so jealous.
-
That does sound like fun!
-
Sad news, Tennant is stepping down. :'(

It was more like he was fired by the BBC. There will be four specials in 2009 with the last one staring the Master. That last episode will have a character simpled named the doctor who seems to know alot about the Tartis. It seems Tennant's Doctor turns into that character as a twist at the end.
Rhys Ifans is the favorite actor so far to play the Doctor in the fifth 2010 season. He played Spike in the movie Notting Hill. He is suppost to be related to the actor that played the third Doctor I believe.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0406975/ (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0406975/)
Of course, James Nesbitt (from Jekyll) is still in the running for the role.

So, are you saying that Tennant will not regenerate into the next Doctor, but turns out to be some alternate character with a TARDIS?

I don't think anyone knows for sure yet. If Moffit wrote it, it'll probably be one of those 4th into 5th doctor dealies where the next doctor is part of the previous doctor's regeneration.
I've also done some digging and I think the fired thing is a rumor. Apparently, Tennant has loyalties to Davies and decided to quit when Davies announced he as leaving. Tennant just kept the decision quiet until a few weeks ago.
-
There is suppost to be a character name (lower case) the doctor in the last special. The (upper case) Doctor regenerates into the actor that is playing the (lower case) doctor. So basically the Doctor is present for his own regeneration. At least that is the rumor. ;)

The only thing that I can think that is similar is Romana's regeneration during the Tom Baker years. An entire season was devoted to the Doctor finding the segments of the Key to Time and the last segment had been disguised as a woman. Later on, Romana regenerated, but it seemed she got to choose her new form. After coming out of a room as several different people for the Doctor's opinion, she settled on the person who played the woman who was the last segment of the Key of Time.
-
I think there's a vast difference to the approach. In Romonavaratnaluna's case, it was a conscious effort to choose a previously known form. I would guess that in the upcoming regeneration it's the 11th doctor guiding the 10th doctor.

Maybe something related to the woman from the Library episode? Maybe something slightly similar to when Tom Baker finally left with the Guardian.
I would love to see a special or two on the Time War. It would nice to seem them use Paul McGann (I think that is his name) and have him regenerate to Eccelston at the end to tie the old series to the new one.

Either one works for me.

I would love that too. There's no reason they can't go there, however, you have to be careful. The time war has such a mythology now that it'll be hard to do it justice. It might be like trying to do the prequel trilogy. :-X

That time war storyline work sooo well for Star Trek Enterprise. :-\

Considering that Doctor Who is a British show and longest Sci-Fi series of all time, I don't think it will matter. Also, I think it could be done with a few specials and doesn't need to be a whole season. With Trek, Paramount dropped the ball. Friday night shows do not work on TV. The time war storyline was when Enterprise was actually getting interesting.

Wow! What a tease. I'll bet there's some kind of less obvious twist though.
-
I guess this is the 2008 Doctor meeting the 2010 Doctor in 1851. Where the heck is Doc Brown when you need him?
I think the new Doctor seems a little pompus though. I guess Anita form the Silence in the Library will be in season 5.
-
This guy might not be the Doctor though. He could be an impostor, you know, to impress the chicks.
-
The new Christmas special is findable as a bit-torrent. I plan on watching it this evening.
-
Not a bad Christmas special. There's been better two parters, but overall, it was fun.
I heard that the last Tennant episode will be the next Christmas special.
-
Right. Two more mid year specials then the christmas special.
-
I'd kind of like to see them age Tennant to make it seem like he's lived a long a full life in that body. He's 900 plus years old, it would make sense if he got 50 to 100 years out of each body.
-
That makes me wonder. Does a Time Lord age?
-
That makes me wonder. Does a Time Lord age?
I would have to say yes...since Doctor #1 started as a child, according to Doctor #10 in the episodes with the Master in Season 3, and then ended up as an old man (Hartnell), then you would have to say the Doctor ages in each body. Also, in the Fox TV special, Sylvester McCoy was portrayed as older than he was when the show ended ~1989.

The 11th Doctor has been named - Matt Smith (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/4124591/Doctor-Who-Introducing-Matt-Smith-the-26-year-old-Time-Lord.html)

He looks alot like the last one.
-
Caught the new special yesterday, much better than the Christmas one. There's also a trailer for the next one, The Waters of Mars, which is an anagram. Figure it out, and you've got the spoiler.
Also found out that the Christmas special does not count toward the four that Tennant is doing, so there are three more due, two this year and one early next.
-
That's right. I forgot they released that special yesterday. Too much ham I guess.
-
I got to see the Easter special of Doctor Who last night on BBCA last night. Much different experiance than watching it on youtube. Anyway, did anyone catch the throw away line about Quadermass and how the unit of measure were called Bernards?

Dalton plays the Doctor's brother. He judges the Doctor for the destruction of Galafray. The Master is credited with bringing Galafray back from destruction. The Doctor gets hunted in the next season.

Waters of Mars aired last night in Britain. I was pretty decent, but obviously a set up episode for the last two.
-
Very cool. Someone at work is making me a dvd with it.
-
Great Final episode, but I'm so sad. Seeing David go was not what I would have wished for. He was my first Doctor, and I know that no one can fill his shoes.
Allons y Doctor, see yah in the next series.
-
So much I want to say about this episode but would involve spoilers...
I do think it was the most emotional regeneration I have seen (I never saw episodes where 1st or 2nd doctors regenerated...so I don't have those for comparison.)
-
I watched the first half on youtube last night. Good story so far. I'll watch the second half tonight.
It's an interesting story how this all came to be. It seems when Tennent came to RTD about taking the year off to work for the Royal Shakespeare company, RTD told him it wouldn't be a problem. They would just make a series of specials and then it would be back to business as usual. Unfortunately, RTD never told the BBC about this. He was, at the same time, telling the BBC about gearing up for a sixth season. Unforunately, the BBC was counting on a sixth season of Doctor Who. They had already sold the advertising and DVD rights and were counting on the extra revenue for the show. This made the BBC extreemly mad. They fired the entire production staff and writers of the show. (the same production staff worked on Torchwood) Today, everyone still works for the BBC but has been exhiled to places outside of London. RTD still works for the BBC but as a BBCA writer. Unfortunately the BBCA doesn't produce anything so he is stuck in limbo. Tennant didn't want to leave the show but was forced out by the BBC.
Finally, the ending of the second part of the show was changed. That is not the original ending that RTD filmed with Tennant. The BBC went back and had Stephen Moffet rewrite the ending. RTD is mad that his show didn't end the way he originally wrote it.
-
Finished the second part. Did you guys notice the Star Wars references in it? Two ball laser turrets on the space ship? The cantina with Captain Jack?
-
I actually thought the "end of time" was a mess. Pretty disappointed overall. I just don't think they ever got the Master down right with John Simm.
-
Did you catch first show of the new series 5 of Doctor Who? What do you think of the new Doctor?
-
I liked the new guy, he took a little bit of getting used to but overall I really enjoyed the performance. It's shaping up to be a pretty good season by the look of it.
-
I finally got a chance to watch the new episode last night. I think Smith did a good job...he feels like the Doctor. I also like the Amy Pond character, I think she will make a good companion.
I liked the continuity bit at the end where they showed the ten previous Doctors. A nice call back to the Christmas special as well.
-
I kept waiting for Doctor Who to come back to
Sci-Fi SyFy, but I guess at this point that's not happening since it's playing on BBC America? I may have to track down the seasons on DVD and catch up on this show.
E...

I don't think SyFy will be getting the series back...they didn't even get the series of specials to end Tennant's run. I was surprised they got in over BBC America in the first place since Torchwood was on BBC America. I guess the internet is probably the only place where we can see the second and third series of the Sarah Jane show either.
-
In the second series of Sara Jane, didn't they get rid of all the kids and replace them with other actors?

That is what I have read...they may have replaced them with other kids. I know they replaced both the girl across the street and her dad. I think they may have replaced the other kid that hung out with them. Sarah's son did remain in the show. Tennant did a guest appearance in Season 3 and Smith is supposed to do a guest spot in Season 4.
-
Wasn't that the Sara Jane wedding episode I heard about? I think the Doctor even mentioned it during Tennent's last episode.

I believe so, I think it was a two episode story arc (as most of the Sarah Jane episodes are). He had a cameo in the first episode and guest staring role in the second. I really should track these episodes down sometime since it was an OK show...not as good as Torchwood, but I feel like I've missed something in the Doctor Who universe without seeing them. It isn't like SyFy is flooded with original programing that they don't have room to air it.

Have you noticed the new TARDIS looks just like the one Peter Cushing had when he played the Doctor in the movie Doctor Who and the Daleks? Outside it is identical include the little symbol on the door. Inside, the TARDIS is just as messy as Cushing's version. Even the clothes that Smith wears are very simlar to Cushing. From what I've been hearing they are going to be revisiting events from the Cushing movies. (Doctor Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.) Have you guys seen those movies?
In the movies, Cushing plays an Earth scientist named Who. Everyone calls him Doctor Who. He is a absentminded professor that builds a time machine (Tardis) that is bigger on the inside. He takes his grandkids thru time. The films arn't considered canon but Moffett wants to make it canon with his Doctor. I guess we will be seeing Skittle Daleks in episode 3. This make me wonder if we are going to see an alternate side universe in this season (kind of like on Lost) since Moffett was quoted as looking for an actor to play the Doctor that is nothing like the one we have now.

Hmmm was wondering if we would ever see an alternate universe Doctor.

Well the Doctor is back. What did you think of the first episode? Nice shots if Utah there. Freaky looking alien huh?

Awesome episode. I'm guessing this may have been the set up for the whole season. Nice little cliffhanger...I wish they had played the first two episodes back to back.
-
I watched my first Hartnell episode last night, An Unearthly Child. Interesting to see how it all began. Hartnell seems to play the Doctor as a cranky old man. Really different than an of the other Doctors I've seen (Tom Baker to Matt Smith). Too bad a lot of these old episodes were destroyed by the BBC.

Watched the final episode for season six.
Quite a good episode and set up for next season with a reveal of a characters identity.
Spoilers sweety....

I believe season six is split in two parts. The second part starts around Halloween.

It explains a lot from the first episode of the season. Just wonder how long they had this planned out.
-
Rumor is he had that in mind since the "Silence in the Library" episode back a couple of years ago.

That would kind of shock me. I'm not sure at that point that if Tennant was definitely leaving yet.
-
What I mean it is a Moffet story line that he expanded when he took over.
-
Please notice that each episode this season has the word "silence" somewhere in it. Since River Song was introduced in "Silence in the Library" and she is traveling backwards in the Doctor's timeline, every thing in this season relates back to that episode.

That could be true, but it is a bit or revisionist history. I can't believe that the writers or whomever decided back then that what took place in the last episode would be what would happen. There were Tennant's season of specials and Matt Smith's first season between Silence and now.
-
Moffet wrote that original story so he is just continuing it now since he is the big cheese.

He may have wrote Silence, but I doubt at that point he had thought there would be a new Doctor with new companions to tie into River's first appearance.
I am interested to see where they are going with it. I am wondering if they are going to go with obvious answer to who was in the spacesuit in the first episode or go a different way.
