When in the hell did this happen! I just finished watching "The Long Game" on UNCTV. Apparently, they're now airing it every Saturday @ 11:00pm. They're finishing up the 3rd season in the UK, so we'll probably have a ways to go before we catch up.

6/24/2007 12:10:18 AM

Except they're all available on bit torrent from the UK.

And why the hell aren't you wolfwebbers into doctor who? It's GREAT... BUT IT NEVER gets discussed on here!

6/24/2007 12:34:35 AM

I've been streaming them from veoh myself. It's just nice to see it get some exposure in the US. The bonus part is that, since PBS doesn't have commercials and Doctor Who only runs 45 min, the last 15 min shows Doctor Who Confidential. It shows behind the scenes of the night's episode.

"The Empty Child" is coming on in two weeks. By far the creepiest season 1 episode.

6/24/2007 12:40:31 AM

God, I love doctor who so much

the newest episode (the actual newest), in England, involves the return of The Master, the doctor's arch nemesis!!!!

I know. I can't wait. Have you seen the previews? The Master looks like he will be evil in a giddy, eccentric sort of way. Should be interesting.

6/24/2007 1:08:13 AM

man those reruns were always on PBS when i was a kid (12 - 15 ish)

i totally could not get into this show.

i tried. it was painful.

i guess im just not alt. enough

6/24/2007 3:44:01 AM

I just got done watching the two part episode Human Nature and Family blood...damn. great episode. At first I didn't like this new Doctor but he is definitely growing on me.

6/24/2007 5:26:00 AM

it's just bad tv

6/24/2007 6:55:47 AM

legatic got me into it, this show is great stuff.

David Tennant >>> everybody else

6/24/2007 5:35:58 PM

tom baker ftw

6/24/2007 5:48:39 PM

I like the guy who came before this one (Christoper something)

6/24/2007 6:15:48 PM

yeah, I've been a big fan of the new series.

I just finished watching the 2nd to last ep in season 3, and god damn

quite possibly the best show on television right now

6/24/2007 8:18:22 PM

Has anyone seen the spinoff series Torchwood?

Yes. I think it is considerably worse than Doctor Who. I gave it a shot, and watched 4 or 5 episodes, but I had to stop when a Pterodactyl was attacking a Cyberwoman. Sh!t was ridiculous.

6/24/2007 9:25:57 PM

I watched all of torchwood, but as WillD said, it wasn't pleasant

Torchwood : Doctor Who :: Methadone : Heroine

You're thinking of the old series. A new series started up in 2005 and is a lot more fast paced. I've been downloading them and watching them ever since they started back in 2005. There was a thread back then but it died in the summer when the first season ended. I just figured I was the only dtubber who enjoyed the show.

John Simm is awesome.

Life On Mars.

It's more like the 40-something-th season. That show's been on nonstop since the 1960's, except for a while in the 90's.

Well, I'm still kind of in the mindset of the two being different series. The "New" series is finishing up its 3rd season. If you were to count the classic series, this would be the end of the 29th season.

6/25/2007 8:19:57 AM

AND, there have now been more doctor who episodes than all the star trek shows put together

6/25/2007 9:49:22 PM

Recently got into Dr. Who. Saw the last two seasons and currently watching the third. I actually want to go back and watch some of the older stuff.

6/25/2007 10:56:17 PM

^I've tried to watch the older stuff, but the new seasons are just so much more exciting than the old ones. I'd love to get deeper into a lot of the back story, and I might eventually just try some of the novels, but so far I haven't found a good starting place to get into the older eps

6/26/2007 12:03:09 AM

The Doctor's story has been stretched out over 26 years. Hell, they didn't even reveal that he was a Time Lord until the 6th season. You'll probably get a better start by reading Doctor Who FAQ sites. Wikipedia has good, detailed articles about the characters.

If you want some good classic episodes to start with, try Pyramids of Mars, City of Death, and Mawdryn Undead.

Trust me, the show will grow on you.

yes, but that includes the 15 minute episodes from the first 4 or so doctors (there would only be like 6 or 7 plotlines a season, cut into 6 or 7 15 minute episodes... shouldn't REALLY count when you consider that)...

6/26/2007 6:04:18 AM

There are more good episodes of Dr. Who than good episodes of Voyager and Enterprise combined..


Last 4 seasons of DS9>Dr. Who though

6/26/2007 6:07:03 AM

Doctor Who!!!!!

If it's not Tom Baker I'm not watching.


Tom Baker ftw!!


My Mom used to make me watch Dr Who when I was a kid and it was always the Tom Baker episodes, I was really freaked out by all the weird monsters but once I got older I started watching them again and I realize how cheesy they are , but the cheeseness is what ROCKS!

6/26/2007 11:14:57 AM

More like ROCKTOR WHO!

Amiright?

6/26/2007 12:01:09 PM

If you liked Tom Baker you'd probably be ok with the current Doctor. He plays it very similarly, with that "flamboyant, but with a strongly sinister undercurrent" flair...

6/26/2007 12:43:40 PM

I'm glad to know some of you nerds are watching / have watched. I was worried about you.

6/26/2007 2:24:45 PM

Just finished watching "The Sound of Drums." It was totally off at some points. The Master zipping his lips, and the invasion scene with friggin' techno music! That's what got me the most.

Other than those moments, it was a meh episode. Is it just me or does it seem like Russell T Davies (the producer) makes the giant-scale invasions of Earth every season finale? First it was the Daleks, the the Cybermen and the Daleks, now the orb things. And he uses the same "armies forming a pattern to invasion" scene.

I still loved the thumbs up scene though.

6/28/2007 11:40:25 PM

not the best episode of the season...I'd have to get that award to Family of Blood or Blink, but it was an ok episode

6/28/2007 11:49:14 PM

Downloading the season finale now

7/1/2007 1:34:22 PM

I got a little behind on watching the more recent episodes and just got a chance to watch Blink. Holy shit that was an awesome episode.

7/1/2007 1:38:55 PM

man...that was kinda anticlimatic

7/1/2007 2:35:18 PM

yeah, I have to agree
seemed a little early to get rid of the master if you ask me

there was so much potential there for this to be more than just a flash in the pan, although with her picking out whatever that little thing was from the ashes we can be pretty sure he'll come back eventually

but will he be john simm?

7/1/2007 3:04:39 PM

I did like the ending though as well as the revelation about the face of bo

[Edited on July 1, 2007 at 3:12 PM. Reason : a]

7/1/2007 3:11:21 PM

yeah, I meant to go back and rewatch that part

it kind of makes me want to see all the eps with the face of bo in it again

I also want to see how the face of bo died again, because if it was who he said it was, it'd a pretty significant death

7/1/2007 3:55:09 PM

They've just confirmed that Catherine Tate (the bride from "The Runaway Bride") will be the next companion.

I don't know what to think about that. She was pretty annoying in that episode, but she could out to be a Tegan type character (mouthy, stubborn, bossy). I wish that they would put a male companion in the TARDIS. I'm getting kind of tired of the "falling in love with the Doctor" ploy.

7/4/2007 8:48:24 PM

ugh, I didn't like that episode

7/4/2007 9:00:15 PM

I didn't care for the episode either, but I did like the chase scene. Still, though, might make an interesting dynamic between her and the Doctor.

7/4/2007 9:16:59 PM

the runaway bride episode as well as the first episode with Martha are on scifi tonight

7/6/2007 7:31:54 PM

I want Martha back

7/7/2007 10:41:39 AM

She'll be back for some of the next series.

7/7/2007 2:19:26 PM

Rose vs Martha..who wins

7/7/2007 6:14:59 PM

Rose

No contest

7/8/2007 2:24:17 AM

I miss Rose
