Who watches Doctor Who

[BtEO]

They certainly have a creative definition of 'die'...

[Kits]

That was interesting.


I really can't say much more about it than that.

[lifedeath]

Oh...

I wanted Doctor-Donna (D-D) to stay. She would be such a blast for a new series.

Oh well, a great end to 4 fantastic and molto bene years...

The moment with the Earth being brought to place by the full team....a perfect pure scene.
Only for that minutes the episode was superb.

[Rorschach]

Things that annoyed me:

Looks like they used deus ex machina a little too literally with the whole hand thing.

When building a basement in your spacecraft, don't put a console which controls every part of you and your empire within reach of your prisoners.

Daleks shouldn't speak German. The similarities are too many to even be funny.

Two doctors and one being used as a very messy torniquet to tie up the Rose saga in an extremely unsatisfying manner.
The Doctor without a TARDIS? What are he and Rose going to do in the alternative universe? Buy a house? Grow vegetables?
What aspect of The Doctor did Rose find attractive in the first place? That he was the man who could 'take her away from all of this'. What now?
And being shouted at for killing the baddies. What would Doc One have done?

Donna's Lauren persona. And I don't think for a minute that we've seen the last of her. Nu-Who seems incapable of leaving companions in the past. Rose, Martha, Sarah-Jane, K-9 - we've said goodbye to all of them only to have them come back into the series and I don't think Donna will be any different.

Again with the Cybermen. I'd like something interesting done with them.

Things I liked:

Big-budget, roller-coaster of a series end. Even if it made all the sense of the new Indiana Jones movie, it was still pretty stirring.

Donna is not a Time-Lady.

The Doctor is alone and vulnerable and heartbroken. Which is where he's best, I think. He's a tragic character and it's good to be reminded of that.

Lol, very interesting.

From BBC site

Grow Your Own
In the original script, the Doctor gave Rose's Doctor a small piece of 'coral' from the TARDIS so that he could create his own Time/Space machine from it.

Well, Rorsch, in regards to the Daleks speaking German, if you're going to be shouting "Surrender or Die!" to people, you do want them to understand you in the first place.

Well, to be honest, this episode reminds me of why I'm glad that RTD is leaving as executive producer. There are a bunch of things that I didn't like about this episode. Keep in mind that I actually liked "Turn Left" and "The Stolen Earth."

For the love of God, they were building up on how the Rose *and* The Doctor had feelings for each other. Leaving Rose to The Doctor's clone feels like giving up your girlfriend to your twin brother. They could have kept to the same plot without the supporting characters from Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures seemed to have not been as much of a factor.

Throughout Russel T. Davies' tenure of the series they've gone on about how the Doctor cannot change major events in history but what about the fact that under Harriet Jones as Prime Minister Great Britain should've gone through a Golden Age. But in the second Christmas Special the Doctor manages to depose of Harriet Jones by uttering six words. Finally with Harriet Jones all but exterminated the possibility of a Golden Age under Harriet Jones is definitely gone.

I also don't care about how they've messed with the concept of regeneration.

Way too much technobable, I hope Moffet stops relying on it next year.

Now there's a huge plot hole. Back in season one, the episode Dalek was set in 2012. At that time no one had a friggin clue as to what a Dalek was. Now I would like them to explain ignorance of the Daleks at 2012 when the whole world has seen what a Dalek is.

Anyways, in all, I would like to say that I'm grateful to Russel T. Davies for bringing back Doctor Who but no more drama in the show please. To Mr. Stephen Moffat I would like to say, "Please turn Doctor Who back into a proper science fiction show. Let's go easy on the self-references."

Oh yeah, to clarify, when I mean drama, I mean enough with the Doctor brooding over relationships.

I found this ever-incredible.

The 10 doctors (fan made comic)

I see it as educational also for fans like me with no actual who-life before the new series.

[JermCool]

Just ordered Seasons 1-3 on DVD. Now if I could only find a way to get Season 4 (no I don't have cable and I can never find it on Torrent).

[Seir]

I'm just wondering how many of you first began watching Doctor Who with either Christopher Eccleston/David Tennant? If so, I just hope you've done yourselves a favor and have also tried watching episodes from the old series. Especially since they've begun referencing the older show even more. If you haven't, I recommend watching episodes from Tom Baker's time as the Doctor, especially Genesis of the Daleks.

[Rorschach]

The first Doctor I remember watching is Colin Baker.
One of these days, I am going to buy the DVDs and work backwards.
It's not that high up on my list of purchase priorities though.

[Seir]

First Doctor I can recall watching was Jon Pertwee, and it was on PBS.

Same here. God bless you, PBS.

[Seir]

I may have liked him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but...NO!

[Rorschach]

He musn't be liked in anything. He must be encouraged to die. He's one of my most behated people.

[Seir]

If he's playing anyone other than the Eight Doctor I don't know if it'll be more sad or confusing?

And in other news, David Tennant says "NAY" to a Harry Potter crossover. Thank God for a fan playing the title character of a show.
