Doctor Who - Discussion Thread III (no untagged future spoilers)

I had a terrible nightmare a few days ago that I was sitting down and watching Doctor Who...

The American Version.

The scary part is it is not unlikely with us versions of everything big in the uk. First they steal Sherlock god knows what they have up thier sleeves next

yeah I wasn't sure on that bit either, was just nice to read an article that wasn't just the usual "we hate Moffat" stuff, I know the show is far from perfect, but I do think people obsess over little things sometimes, all TV shows have flaws, most of them far more so than Doctor Who, I just want to enjoy the episodes sometimes without the entire internet exploding afterwards because of one 30 second dialog that they didn't think made sense. (not saying everyone does that, but some people seem to never be happy with the shows writers)

By far my favourite show. I know on technicalities people will say that Breaking Bad or The Wire is better, and I would agree. They are amazing shows. It is my favourite show not because it is the most visually pleasing or has the best plot lines, but because it invokes nostalgia in me and it offers something no other show offers. You can get lost in the Doctor Who universe. It is also amazing how the shows plays around with history and even changes events in our pasts (such as Elizabeth I being the virgin queen). The fact that it has lasted 50 seasons is a testament to how good the show is. Here is hoping for 50 more seasons and a great Christmas special this year.

It actually has lasted 33 seasons with a lot of specials and a TV movie haha

XD i bow down to you greater factual knowledge

Back at Lake Silencio, why did River Song need to shoot the Doctor again in between his regeneration cycle - surely he had used up all his regenerations by then? The same thing happens again in "Let's Kill Hitler" when Melody Pond uses poisoned lipstick - she picked poison from the Judas Tree in particular because it prevents regeneration. He shouldn't have even been regenerating in the first place?! How does the Teselecta even mimic regeneration?

Probably because they didn't know that he was on his last regeneration because I doubt they would have known about the War Doctor plus Tennent's first regeneration happened on the Tardis and the resulting Doctor was placed in the parallel universe.

I watched the 50th anniversary special for the second time and I think it was better on the 2nd viewing because I could pick up on what was being said e.g. Tom Baker's cameo.
