Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

They're just so darn cute! Isn't anyone still completely obsessed with Doctor Who in the good old days (season one and two, and perhaps the end of season four)? Though I loved Donna and Martha had her moments, I feel like Doctor Who has really changed (obviously). Steven Moffat's out of control in his quest to leave his mark on the show! He says he's not too keen on the character and is unlikely to re-introduce her to the Eleventh Doctor.

I LOVE the Doctor and Rose! I really loved their relationship, and although I love the new series, I don't think Moffat can beat the Russel T Davies era for me. Doomsday was pretty much the saddest thing I've ever watched.

THEY WERE SO GODDAMN CUTE.

I really don't understand why people think she's such an overused character. I mean, she was in the show for two years (her normal running time) and was re-introduced to tie up loose ends and to give her the happy ending that everyone wanted the character to have. How is that overused, how? So what if people want her to come back? As far I'm concerned she's the only companion that really actually posed as the most obvious love interest to the Doctor and loads of people really liked that.

There are easily ten times more people that like Rose rather than any other companion (as a love interest - Donna's just amazing).

And don't diss Russell T Davies - he resurrected the Doctor Who we know today.

We're so not getting into a species debate, are we? (Snorts) What does that matter? If someone's in love, it's not like something like that would matter. And since when does the Doctor get off with everyone in the TARDIS? And Amy is really not perfect at all - not as a character. As I've said before, she brings the wrong message accross, short skirts and kiss-o-grams and one night stands and stuff. Yup, I prefer Rose as a companion. At least there was a bit of playful banter/romance/attitude.

I'm not bothered, but it would be nice to have some sort of poll up if you guys want one too.

We could have a poll on either one of these, any thoughts?

Favourite series of New WHO:


Favourite Companion/Doctor lite episode:

Terrifying monsters showdown

Favourite companion

Who is the regenerating little girl?

Who is the Astronaut who killed the Doctor?


Cba covering all the possible options. Off to bed.

There was a kid running round McDonalds the other day dressed in full Matt Smith costume. He had his sonic screwdriver out and was 'zapping' things with it whilst saving McDonalds from the Daleks

But surely if River had killed the Doctor she would only need to escape from prison in that episode if it was in her past? And then she'd remember and therefore wouldn't shoot herself?

Why are you guys giving me answers?

Sorry I think im being really dense lol, as I dont get what you mean entirely about only escaping in that episode :s I was thinking she did shoot him in her past but then went to the prison as a promise to the doctor that she would (maybe so his younger self always knows where to find her)

When does River shoot herself?

Just had a thought about the mysterious woman, don't know if it's been mentioned though! The comments she's been making; dreaming, doing okay etc., could be to do with timelines splitting. Don't know if I can explain this too well, but maybe there are two Amy's, and one's been shut away with this woman for someone, and the Amy we're seeing has to do something in order for normality to be restored, which is why her progress is being watched by this woman. Saying she's doing alright for example could simply be her telling a different Amy that she's doing something right in her timeline? I'm not too sure if that makes sense, but I think there are two parallel timelines running together, and everything depends on Amy making the right choice at some point.

Why are you guys giving me answers?

in the library episode when the doctor says something about how theres only one reason he could tell someone his proper name. does anyone know what that reason is is it something from the old series or just something we don't know

BBC Four is currently showing one of the classic episodes. It's been on for about 10 minutes so it's probably best to download it later, if you want to watch it.

Is the Old Who actually any good? Or was it just good for the time/rose tinted glasses?

Some of it is fun, don't expect any production values whatsoever though.
