deanb Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Don't click if you're not past the halfway of Series 6 cos it's kinda spoilerish. And just don't click this at all if you're not past the end of season 6 http://i.imgur.com/IYMhS.png (though it's stupidly complex, so probably befuddles more than it does provide a great er understanding.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Have I missed something in this thread? I seems strange that no one has mentioned the new companion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't think we have, I think all we know up to now is who she is. Anywho: http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-17456505 Unsure if if many Americans will know of her or even seen Emmerdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 She's much prettier than that picture of her in front of the TARDIS would indicate. I was really hoping for a Canadian/American companion, since that seems to be the direction the show is taking. Hmph. Maybe they're saving that card for the 12th Doctor? Personally, since the CBC has helped fund Doctor Who many times over the years, I think it's time for some Canadiana in the Whoniverse. Also, I might have asked this but I don't remember getting a response. Why is the 7th season starting so much later than usual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 My guess is something along the lines of As for a NA companion, maybe. But The 8th doctor film was the result of a US collaboration(as was the potential hollywood reboot that would throw everything canon out). Times are slightly more moved on but I think a full NA collab is a while away still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 What's that from?? Finished season 2 of Torchwood last night. A much better season, though I'm surprised the whole thing with Owen didn't go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

「Advent Chaos」 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm (fashionably) late to the party, but I just watched "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" and oh my gosh you guys I am freaking out. That had to be some of the best 83 minutes of a television series I have ever watched. Moffat you have a direct line to my brain orgasm button, everything about those two episodes felt so fresh and amazing. It felt like I stumbled onto a Doctor Who motion picture. I wore headphones the entire time, but I REALLY need to watch these again with a nice big HD tv and some popcorn. Also thinking it's a good two episodes to show to friends since I can give the quick details and they'll still enjoy the ride, right? ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm trying to remember, is Blink before or after. Cos Blink is a pretty good "show a friend episode" since it's generally a bit damn scary. And also no Doctor really so you get the time travel elements, but not much of the TARDIS silliness apart from the brief moment at the end. Highly quotable too. Silence in the Library is a weird one to show because it sets you up for Matt Smiths arc as a huge element, so they'd be like "wow that's awesome" then find out there's 4 series to watch before they end up with the River Song stuff. But it's rather good with a nice twist at the end n such with the child and showing the Doctors nature with the "everybody lives" stuff.

deanb Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Oooh. I'd seen the second picture, didn't know it was replicating an older one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「Advent Chaos」 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Haven't watched since May, I was on Series 4 I think? The last one with David Tennant and since I want that magical feeling of him being the doctor to be elongated I decided to finish Torchwood instead. I'm on Children of Earth Day Four and this definitely feels a lot better than Series 1 & 2. Well I actually enjoyed 2, but this feels like 5 part end movie. Day 1 & 2 were great, Day 3 felt unnecessarily drawn out. Now I'm just wondering, shouldn't have the doctor come and dealt with this? I mean this is kind of big.

deanb Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The Doctor doesn't have Spidey Sense to know if the Earth is in danger. And, as shown with the fact he hung around for a couple century/millenia, Jack has no way of just phone calling him (though others do).

TCP Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Didn't Gwen mention the Doctor in one of those episodes, something about why he's turning his back on them? Also I've been meaning to share this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「Advent Chaos」 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah Gwen mentioned it and it's a question I thought about since I started watching. Also, what did I just watch :'D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

「Advent Chaos」 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 As I'm nearing the end of David Tennant and prepare for Matt Smith I end up wondering what the past was like. I look at those older intros and I get tingly feelings of awesome. Seriously some of those felt like they came straight out of Earthbound.I know Netflix has some of the movies, but not whole seasons of the older Doctors.
