Dr. Who Idolization Thread
« on: September 22, 2010, 09:05:22 PM »
I'm looking at you aaron.

You know, I tried to get into Dr. Who and I did see a pretty cool episode about a spaceship called the titanic and it was pretty radical. I just don't really understand anything that's going on in the show at all.

Basically all I feel you need to understand is quirky-craziness is always going on...

Its just fun scifi, as opposed to the more serious stuffy ones like star trek or whatever the kids are into nowadays.

A show thats at least self aware enough to know that techno-babble should sound cool, regardless if it even means anything to the character who said it.

Doctor: Must be a spatio-temporal hyperlink.
Mickey: What's that?
Doctor: No idea, I just made it up. Didn't want to say "Magic Door"

Although I didn't really like the last season, less fun, more trying to be serious, bad overall arc I think, and I really hate River Song (especially when she out-doctors the doctor) and I think the weeping angels should have been a one-off monster)

There was a lot of stuff I liked and didn't like about the newest season.  I enjoyed that the show had an altogether more "polished" look, and I really enjoyed the finale albeit there was some really cheesy stuff.

Interesting article on how someone thinks the final season should have been written (I would love to see this "season"):

I liked that Russel T Davies stopped writing episodes.  I never understood what was happening in any show he did (consequently, the Season Finales never made any goddamn sense).

I like both the RTD and SM series, just as I enjoyed the old series when I was a kid :) Although I dipped in and out of Doctor Who as a kid, it was really Silverter McCoy and Ace that were the firts time I properly stuck with the series...sigh. Stupid cancellation.

I really like the Family of Blood episodes, as well as Blink. Blink is actually something I plan to include in one of my future games.

I think that episode is something everyone's going to include in future games.

I check some D&D sub-forums from time to time, and someone was trying to figure out how to do the mechanics of the angels! And sadly, I tried to have a go at it too :)

Seriously! I hate her too! If you wanted the doctor to be a woman you should have regenerated him into one, instead of putting this cow into the story line.

I think I saw that when they were looking for the new doctor they were considering Catherine Zeta Jones.

Heresy! I love River Song, and Alex Kingston! :D

I'm interested to see where her character goes, and I've a sneaking suspicion that when we see what her eventual arc is, some people who hate her might look at her differently. Who knows!

They are going to have to do something amazing with her to win me over.

I didn't really have a problem with her in Silence in the Library, but then she came back as a fucking Mary Sue.
I couldn't be less interested in where her character goes (unless its into the core of a sun).
