(feel free to discuss other episodes obviously.. this IS the Doctor Who thread.. but with these older episodes it would be nice to focus conversation on them as they're being watched for the first time.. or rewatched! I guess!)

I just got word that the BBC is poised to announce that "Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series" will hit Blu-ray and DVD on November 9 and that it will contain a truly tantalizing extra: two newly filmed sequences, both written by Steven Moffat and available only in this collection.

They are called "Meanwhile, in the TARDIS ... " and, as that title suggests, they are drop-in moments that show what happens between the episodes -- I suspect they're the comedy mortar between the story bricks, and with Moffat's wry sensibility and the daft charms of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, I'm guessing these interstitial escapades have a chance to be pretty entertaining.

Is it-- is it possible to breed with a blu-ray? Because I want to have sex with this. It just needs one more thing to make it perfect: "As an added bonus, the Silurians two-parter has been completely purged from the box set and so those paying extra for the blu-ray release won't be tempted to subject themselves to such tripe."

The Chase is awful, Edge of Destruction is pretty good; depends on where you want to draw the line on how many stories per doctor you want to watch.

B..b...b.ut The Chase is one of my favorite 1st Doctor stories! It has Frankenstein and Dracula (robot versions)!

For 'The Great Rewatch', can whoever posts the "Ok, now this week is ___" post include any links to (legal) internet streams/downloads if available? A bunch of old episodes are officially on YouTube, or MSN Video, or SeeSaw, or iTunes... and mentions of what DVD they're on - just to help out for those who don't have them all already. I'd rather stream what I can rather than buy too many classic DVDs - I have some, but not many. Thankfully, I have "The Beginning" boxset.

Same here, though I have watch The End of Time part 2 and then get to Season 5. Classic Who on top of all of that may be too much.

Yeah, the DVDs can be pricey. iTunes and youtube are the best bet for most people on here. Good idea.

ALSO:

THE COMPLETE FIFTH SERIES!!!

I kind of liked calling it Season FNARG though.




So we will not be doing a new thread for this?
Click to expand...

Hadn't even thought about it! although it does seem a wonderful idea, we did get a mod earlier saying WW should have made a LTTP thread..

hmm! I think a new thread should be a good idea! Will create in a jiffy.

Sounds good. I have a couple of Non-Gaffers who might join in as well.

Thanks!

Well, Season Fnarg is pretty much over so this one will die down after WW finishes up probably. Then we will have a re-watch thread and a Season 6 thread. I think that should be ok.

The re-watch can keep the thread going until Christmas, and then bumped if needed for the next series. I'll be using this thread for my own re-watch regardless.

This is intriguing.

We should still add the rewatch list to the OP though.

I really think if we're doing a rewatch thread and want to get more of GAF involved we need to start a new thread instead of starting it 110 pages into a mega thread.

bah, can I still post on thoughts in here? :lol

Anybody know if a series 5 soundtrack is coming out any time soon?
Click to expand...
Don't know about 'soon', but there's hints that it might come out around the same time as the DVD's. So... before Christmas-ish would be your best bet. They'll be playing a whole of the series 5 soundtrack at the Proms this weekend, though, and you'll be able to listen to that for free live/up to 7 days after.

For the older episodes, wouldn't it be worth mentioning that some might be found on Netflix as well?

Now a question. I just finished my run-through of the Eccelston/Tennant series (had the specials already on Blu-Ray). Should I just bite the bullet and get the season pass on iTunes for series 5, or wait for the blu-ray?

$22.99 is a lot if you are going to buy the box set again in November. Depends how impatient you are I guess. It is a great season.

I may just get the first episode with Smith and see if I'll like the guy (though by going on the 9 minute preview, I should), and give the older series a shot to kill time until the blu-ray.

Oh, I'm watching The End of Time Part 2

EDIT: Sorry, guys. This episode so far is just as bad as last seasons ending. The Master is terrible and 5 billion of him is 5 billion times the retardation.

The overall plot was pretty bad but it has it's "Oh crap!" moments. Are you going to jump right into series 5 immediately after? :D

Yup!

But I am so stoked that the Time Lords are back. I never knew them, but I hated that the Daleks kept returning and the Time Lords didn't. It ruins some of the emotional impact of season 1, but they never really went anywhere with the last of the Time Lords plot point any way, save for the episode before this one.

Wait. The Time Lords are evil.

Aw. It's like I just found out that Santa killed somebody in a DUI in 1978. So disappointed.

Lol. Most of them aren't. Many of them are annoying beuracrats. No wonder the Doctor ran.
