Doctor Who

[TheEclecticDude]

First watched Doctor Who back in 2011 with the premiere of Series 6 and was like 'huh, what this show about?'

So after watching several episodes (new and classic) I am a big fan of this show and can't wait for the 50th Anniversary special later this year.

Finally, The Sun Makers is my personal favorite story of the Tom Baker/Fourth Doctor era. I've watched it more times than any other classic serial

Spent a good long while recently marathoning everything from Eccleston onwards ('cept, "Love and Monsters") and, currently on "Bells of Saint John". (Simply put: if it didn't have Amy, Rory, Empty Children, River Song (well, River post-Flesh and Stone) or a Pandorica; I probably liked it)

Quick Edit: "End of Time" was also a lil meh though, the Time Lords at the end was cool.

THE TIMELORDS / KLF - Doctorin' The Tardis
Very weird project by The KLF. Approx. 20 years later, the association of this song with Gary Glitter is somewhat regretable.

Just a mini rant..
On the evening just before the newest Doctor was revealed, I was talking with a female friend about general sci/fi stuff. When Doctor Who came up in the convo, she mentioned how much she enjoyed the series. I happened to mention how the fourth Doctor, the longest running Doctor, Tom Baker, was one of my all time favorites based on his wacky and fun personality. The conversation fell silent. I swear you could hear crickets chirping from every corner in the room. The empty look on her face! She didn't even know who Tom Baker was. I believe I died just a little.

So... if it's not current, it doesn't exist.

Sounds like this picture I found when looking for Tom Baker gifs the other day.

It's interesting to see how a lot of fans choose to remain ignorant about the past Doctors.

I'm still not very well versed in the original serials at all, but there's some really cool stuff to check out in there, even if it's not widely consistent.

haha! Exactly!
Now I don't feel so bad.

It is very interesting.

So a while ago I called that Smith was retiring Eleven, but what do you think of the possibility that Moffat will step down on his run of the show after this coming series?

I don't have much to call on this besides the heavy implications that River's Doctor is going to be Capaldi, but between working on DW and Sherlock, Moffat has got to be tired and realizes that he doesn't do a great job of running two shows at once. It would make for a fitting end to have River meet her Doctor for the first time and call it a run.

When you say "River's Doctor," what do you mean, exactly?

Oh, I meant the one she first met and fell in love with, since it's supposedly not Eleven.

It's about 2 1/2 hours til the special!

My local comic book shop and our local British import shop have combined together to show it at a hotel over here, so I'll be hitting that up soon.

In other news, the Christmas special is airing in the US soon!

Edit: nvm, this is just a repeat of the anniversary special. Why doesn't anyone post in this thread anymore? I know we have viewers. And look! Bruce!

Coming to Disney XD.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Has Paltridge actually watched Disney XD? Because if he has he should know that it does air advertising, and did so back when the network was still Toon Disney as well.

In any case, this is a strange decision on Disney's part, but I can't say I wouldn't mind catching the occasional rerun on XD (providing they aren't butchered/censored too much).

Good news, everyone!
