Doctor Who (1963 - present)

"The only water in the forest is the river."

River Song?

The mystery continues....

... actually it has been solved in last weekend's episode.

A lot of stuff I liked in this season. And a long time to wait till the summer break is over!

Yep, 'twas an utterly jaw-dropping humdinger of a twist to end this half of the season on ... I genuinely had no idea, which is the best way,

Spoilers, sweetie!

Great episode, but why the fuck is mom at least 6 inches taller????? :pirat:

Heels, darling ;)

Must be. Amy Pond/Karen Wotsit is 6 foot isn't she?

I've never really liked Doctor Who - mostly because I never watched it.

But I watched an episode or two - I've only seen like three Tenant eps and like 5 Smith ones ... and I have to say ....

I likes it a lot. And will be having a marathon of nuWho (so I can be up to date with the curent season and all)

And Rave - I love Matt Smith as well.



:D

A woman of taste and discernment ;)

I'm so proud. *sniff*

He's beautiful.

Also I'm watching nuWho from the start ... Eccles just ain't doing it for me. Can't wait to get onto to Ten and see if this lifts.

Eccleston wasn't wholly convincing to me either, Fae ... he came across too 'ordinary bloke from Manchester' and not quite 'alien' enough for my tastes. And stuff like the bin that 'burps' when it swallows Mickey and the Slitheen farting a lot really isn't up there with the likes of Matt Smith's Doctor spitting out wine and saying 'That's disgusting ... I thought it would taste more like the gums'.

Having said that, 'The Unquiet Dead', 'The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances', 'Dalek', 'Father's Day' and the season finale were all good-to-great episodes.

Yeah, I've enjoyed the episodes but he just lacksa punch ... which I've gotten from Smith.

The 'Unquiet Dead' was good - and yeah the farting was odd ... it was just ... yeah ...

Anybody a fan of TORCHWOOD? I'm looking forward to the new series in the summer.

Nope.

Haven't seen it or don't like it?

Only saw the first ep.

Didn't get into it.

Then again I could change, rewatch, see things differently ...

It's an acquired taste for sure. Lost it's way a bit towards the end of the second series and third series but when it's at it's best, it's great IMO. :)

I am, G.

Again, like NuWho it took it a series to find its feet ... Season 1 was a little too 'Ooh, look! We might be a Doctor Who spin-off, but we have gore, swearing and sex talk/sexual tension - aren't we NAUGHTY!' at times.

But the second was very good ... and I thought the shown-across-five-consecutive-nights third was absolutely superb.

I didn't realise TORCHWOOD was an anagram of DOCTORWHO until it was pointed out to me...

:scratch:

Jack and Rose ... god damnit.

Rose - I want to whack her her over the head with a cricket bat.

Jack - is awesome

The Empty Child is freaky.

Amen - Rose definitely needs a) proper mascara; and b) a smack in the kisser.

Especially for the end of Tennant's third season. Gawd, what a crap fan-girl squee ending that was.

I was so happy when Micky moved on and grew a pair. I actually loved him. But Rose - she is such a cow. I love Tennant though so I was sad from his point of view ... not Rose's - because that man can really pull out the punches. God, she was just so annoying the entire time. I mean you would think she would've learnt her lesson about her dad the first time around but no she has to keep going along.

And can i just say I loved the episode with Elton - the one with the guy making a video of he and his friends searching for the Doctor. That had to be one of the best episodes in the whole season. It was so sad. Loved that episode.

I love Donna - she was hilarious esp after Rose. Martha has been alright so far but I'm not sure what to make of her.

Currently watching the Daleks in Manhatten episode with the pig people.

Oh and Rave - I can understand what you mean by the bug eyes and Tennent.

You're getting through them at quite a rate, Fae. That season you're on now is the one with 'Blink', which introduces the Weeping Angels ... enjoy being creeped the hell out. ;)

Yeah I just got up to that - Ill stop for the moment and watch that tomorrow. I know what to expect ... I'm scared.

Blink is easily one of my favourite episodes of all. Scared the crap out of me. The father-in-law-elect said it was the first time he'd actually seen someone hiding behind a cushion and screaming into it :D

Brilliant episode.

Martha was even worse than Rose for me. The doe eyed simpering unrequited love crap. Just needs a bloody good slapping and getting over herself already.

I loved Donna. I didn't think I would, but she was by far my favourite companion. No messing about; no simpering; no substitute father figure. She gave as good as she got, without having to be anything other than herself. Not some kind of genius, or any 'special powers' - just straightforward, down to Earth-ness. Brilliant.

I won't spoil the series ending for you, though. I'll be very interested to see what you make of it.

Yup ... teatime on a bright summer's night when it went out originally, and I was still shivering at the end of it. Brrrr.
