I'm a fan of the old Doctor Who series, but I also like the new one. Are there any other fans around?

Being a whipper snapper, I'm only familiar with the new series, and I love it.

I love David Tennant as the Doctor.

I saw one episode, and have been hungering for more. I couldn't remember to see any before Sci-fi moved the time, now I don't know when it is on

I don't think it's being shown on the Sci-Fi Channel at this time; BBC America has been showing episodes on Fridays starting at 5 p.m. (Central time); they show two back to back episodes.

Sci-fi was showing it on fridays at 8 a while ago.

Indeed, he does the job far better than Christopher Eccleston.

My father says that Davids portrayal of the doctor seems to be more accurate with the previous doctors.

Christopher seemed to come off a bit cold, like The Master (I hope they bring him back, best part of the series I say).

EDIT:



The season ended a few months ago. They're not going to show any until the next season is ready. I don't have to worry because of TiVo. I <3 TiVo.

Me, my dad, and my cousin intend to split the cost of all the seasons and buy them over time. I got him hooked when I showed him the "Blink" episode (my cousin, that is).

I agree; David Tennant shows more emotion. The Doctor always showed compassion for his companions.

"whatever you do, don't blink.
Blink and you're dead.
Don't blink
Don't look away.
And whatever you do, don't blink.
Good luck."

I really wanted to see that one

Heheh, the "Weeping Angels".

They're the most gentle assassins. They send you back in the past and let you live to death. You die sometime around the time you were sent back, and they live off of the potential energy of what you could of had if they hadn't of touched you. Their defense mechanism is, if they are viewed by a living creature, they turn to stone (reverse Medusa). They hold their hands over their eyes because they cant risk looking at each other. They're extremely quick, capable of covering over 20' in the blink of an eye. They've also got fangs and claws (like the concept of them being wicked quick and capable of taking your life with a mere touch isn't scary enough).

I wont ruin the plot of the episode for you, just in case you get the chance to see it.

Want to see...

A friend let me borrow the complete seasons.... I am 1/2 way through the second season now. Am liking it!

I am guessing you mean current seasons.

Doctor Who is a little old for people to enjoy the early episodes.

Because it was filmed in black and white . Personally I have seen some of the early episodes and had to keep myself from physically laughing my Arse off . But the later ones are great fun .

My favorite race is the ood , they are so cute "The beast shall rise from the pit and make war against god" "what did you say?!" *ood smacks translation sphere* "I meant to say enjoy your meal"

Awhhhhhhhhhh

There's the black and white as well as the fact that the costumes could have been made (and probably were) and a $2 Gift Emporium.

I love Dr Who! David Tennant rules ^^ but i have seen a few of the old ones even dome in black and white!

I also like Torchwood! lol But Dr who is a love of mine ^^.

I love that! and then there Rose and those silly questions

x

If I was to believe everything I saw in Torchwood, I would think that the majority of England is inhabited by homosexuals, which only brings up the question... how are there so many of them?

bisexuals maybe Taz, besides which for the most part its either with aliens (doesn't really count) or with members of the team (and you can see why they are attractive).

Then that leads me to my second theory of the UK through Torchwood. The entire population is a few hormones short of humping inanimate objects, with the cast closest to that point. That just makes me worry for their safety because its just a matter of time before they all die from broken pelvises.

yes, because we are all sexually repressed *rolls eyes*.

Besides which, I think there are a number of different ways that the team go but as far as I know the only really Bi one is captain Jack, and tbh he would have sex with anything

It seems so far from the all knowing, and wise persona of the Face of Bo (which we learn to be Captain Jack in Doctor Who).

Owen is also capable of bi for convenience reasons as seen in episode one.

which ones owen? I will admit to some ignorance, I didn't start enjoying them or watching them properly till the creepy old guy and Abaddon appeared .

Hey, if you have had a long long life it mellows you, couple of billion years and eventually you have changed irrevocably.

That or you completely disconnect and barely change at all.

No point getting involved if you've got billions of years.

Well when you have turned into a giant face that may well be a cause for both

Especially since gratifying physical pursuits are nigh impossible for the giant faces amongst us.

Can't call m'self a regular, but I catch episodes whenever possible.

I do an Awesome "Family of Blood" impersonation.

I've seen most of Season One and Two (of the new series, of course) and a few episodes from Season Three.

Blink was definitely the creepiest by far. Didn't help that one of my RPing pups decided he was going to dress up like a Weeping Angel and then couldn't move when the paint dried. It was a bugger getting it out of his wings, too.

A friend of mine had an excellent idea, though: Find a friend who's never seen Doctor Who, buy them a small set of Weeping Angel figurines, and then show them Blink. Then, when they're not looking or paying attention, randomly move the figurines around their house.

I saw the ads for Blink- Scared the crap outta me.

That's a great idea, Maniac.

Blink was my favroite episode in the new series so far! Such a cool story!

I like Family of Blood. Mostly 'cause there are British Schoolboys with machine guns.

The fact that that was actually happening terrifies me :/

"The empty child" *shudder* "are you my mummy?"

Oh! Can't forget the Scarecrow men! Or the one guy who always spoke with the side of his mouth!

"he imprisoned my mother in the event horizon of a collapsing star. He trapped my sister in every mirror in existence whenever you see something move in a mirror just out of eyeshot, thats her. He trapped my father in chains forged at the heart of a red dwarf, and he kept me frozen in time to defend this island forever"

The doctor is terrible, and has a good sense of humour too

I really do see his sis from time to time. I used to think it was the Twilight Zone Gremlin.

nope, its "sister of mine"

My personal fav is still the ood episode , I just love them to bits

I swear I am a freak

Oooh! Oooh!! Doctor Who! SQUEEEEE!!!!

I'm an avid fan of the new series. The Daleks, Cybermen, the Family of Blood, and the Best/Ood are made of win. Shame David Tennant's leaving, he was good. MUCH better than Christopher Eccleston.

Torchwood's not bad, either. Bit weird.

MantaLord - I'm considering doing it to my girlfriend. She's never seen the gloriousness that is Doctor Who.

Also, I once, and very briefly, role-played a group of home improvement Daleks. *REDECORATE REDECORATE* They had no sense of style, either, and kept trying to redecorate people. Somehow, they always managed to choose the colour that least suited the person they were painting.

Awesome, Maniac!

In the upcoming weeks I'm going to get "Blink" on Netflix. I can show it to my friends then...

I loved this one advert that they did for kit kat where they put a dalek following around a load of Harry Krishnas shouting "PEACE AND LOVE"

Man I can't wait for the next season! I hope the writer's strike didn't delay it any or I'll.....I dunno, throw a rock at somebody?

I just finished watching Season 1 (of the revival)! Yes!

Now I just have to wait for Netflix to send me Season 2...

did you spot all the Bad wolf refferences

I spot the one in "The Unquiet Dead", That was Obvious...

"Aliens in London/ World War III"...

"Dalek"

"Father's Day"

"Boom Town". that was also obvious...

"Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways" That was, of course, blatent...

The others I missed...

I got Season 2: Volume 1 from Netflix. I just watched Christmas Invasion/ New Earth.


Sycorax are awesome.

Only losers say British shows suck, a little inaudiable dialouge here and there can't be too bad. I also like how the writers intertwined this show and Torchwood, and if we are lucky, then there will be more Cptn. Jack next season. What about the way they chose to end this season as a cliff hanger, an inner tube gets thrown at the Doctor.

And who said that the writers strike is slowing down the show, its in England...

I have been dying to see this show, but it's on really late at night where I live and we don't have a recorder or a Tivo. >_< We don't have a Netflix account, either.

Have just finished season three. (of the new series)

have enjoyed them all, I really liked the twisted in time episode, with the lady talking to the Doctor's recording, and not understanding, and then talking to the same recording later, but this time the whole converstaion makes sense, as if they are talking to each other in the same room.



I enjoyed both of the episodes where the Doctor was not the main characters, but we realize what is happening in the story, because he is present.

man....the one with the statues was scary
I actually tried sneaking up behind my dad like the monsters did and when he turned around he jumped out of his skin
