Amy is obviously gorgeous and I have a good feeling that she's going to be a great companion. Seems like she's going to be sex'd up a little bit more than the past companions?

Spoiler

I have no problem with that.

Tall, leggy, Scottish redheads are never a bad thing.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Alright so first impressions:

I like Smith so far, he's a weird one. Kind of weird looking, weird voice, weird attitude. He seems like a little kid, kind of fits in with him just being "born." I hope the character grows to be more of the all knowing, most powerful force in the universe Doctor that I like to see.

This is exactly what I love about Smith's Doctor.

He displays a youthful quirkiness and curiosity that I feel Tennant lacked comparatively, but as his character goes on and experiences his new adventures with the Ponds, he becomes very adult and realizes just how old and destructive he is. He's much much darker than Tennant.

Tennant was the right-man-for-the-job Doctor, the one that was hardly ever unsure of himself. Smith's Doctor is his worst enemy.

 

[Acid08]

The shot at the end of The Eleventh Hour that has all the past Doctors projected with Smith walking through Tennant's reflection and saying "I'm the Doctor" was pretty amazing. Gave me chills.

i love that bit

 

[Worthintendo]

Only BBC America had it, but for some reason it carried over to Netflix too. I hate it. There are few things in life I love more than the opening teaser ending on a dramatic moment and then that theme kicks in.

They have that stupid message on the last season of Matt Smith episodes down here in Aus. Its a pain we have to get the US eps and not the UK ones. You'd think a country that has shown Dr Who since the 1960's would not need to have a stupid message to let people know what Dr Who is.

Definetly a defining moment. Introduces the Eleventh Doctor and hints at the overall theme of the next 2 seasons-he can just say his name and armies turn and run.

Watching "Midnight", and I completely forgot how fucking awful some of the passengers were.

They were real assholes. Especially the wife from the family that was on board, what a dick.

 

[Tizoc]

Forgotten was a good read, but the art shift from issue to issue was a little jarring.

OK now I get how bad the Sixth Doctor's tenure was, but how was the Trial of the Time Lord arc? Is it good overall or should I just skip it?

I did a "yes!" and a fist bump when I first saw that. Loved it.

Which is something I never thought about until now. Good point.

Horrible news. I couldn't even believe it when I first read it. It's just so difficult to process all of these losses that the Doctor Who family has gone through recently.

Very sad, and my condolences go out to her family.

Damn, that's sad. Why does cancer always strike Fourth Doctor companions?
And we've lost too many companions as it is the last couple of years. *sighs*

EDIT: I wonder if Big Finish managed to record all seven of the New Fourth Doctor Adventures set for next year.

How does one in the states go about legally watching DW this season without tv/cable? It isn't streaming anywhere right? I know it's on netflix, but not until the end of the season, I think.

Don't know what I'm going to do if I have to wait this season, will certainly get myself spoiled.

Didn't BBC America air like day of last season or am I remembering that wrong?

 

[bengraven]

Comcast/Xfinity has it OnDemand year round. Somestimes its just a special or two, but there have been quite a few times that entire series of NuWhu will be up. Especially before a new season.

First Ian Marter, then Lis Sladen, now her. The worst things seem to be happening to the 4th Doctor and his companions. :{

Oh yeah, I forgot about iTunes/Amazon. Will probably do that now that I don't have a television.

Don't forget about Caroline John, who recently died. Though her character was criminally underused, it was rather awesome.

Yup, this is what I'm planning on doing.

[EleventhDoctor]

My Entertainment Weekly just arrived!

There is a poll inside where they asked "Who is your favorite Doctor"?

David Tennant won with 59% of the vote-with Matt Smith getting a paltry 16%....doesn't seem right-I suspect shenanigans.

Apparantly so. Seven releases recorded in total.

[EleventhDoctor]

I was rewatching "The Wedding of River Song" and I caught this-very cool:

From "Forest of the Dead"
River: If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you!
The Doctor: Time can be rewritten!
River: Not those times. Not one line! Don't you dare!

From "The Wedding of River Song"
River: Please, my love. Please please, just run.
The Doctor: Can't.
River: Time can be rewritten.
The Doctor: Don't you dare. Goodbye, River.

new Trailer next Thursday:

The BBC have announced that a new trailer for Doctor Who Series 7 will air on BBC One at 8pm, Thursday August 2. During the Olympics the BBC are parading their new season of drama each night with "specially-made feature length trailers" (though it's unclear if this also applies to Doctor Who).

Take out Popular or that Lisa Kudrow show.

I'd say Doctor Who is too big to be "cult" in the same way as those other shows. Like Star Trek. (I'm assuming ST ain't on that list)

Oh, well then yeah, fuck that noise! Doctor Who has an excellent following. The part where everyone knows it over here just makes me never think of it as "cult".

I'll help out if needed with the new thread.

Yeah Doctor Who made the cover of EW and there's a huge article-and then they list 25 other cult shows. You could say Doctor Who is the king of cult shows.

1. Buffy

6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
7. ST: TNG
8. The Comeback
9. My So Called Life

I would remove Popular and The Comeback and replace them with Doctor Who and Stargate.

 

[mightynine]

Pushing Daisies making that list makes me happy.
