How many of you are watching Doctor Who? And which are your favourite episodes. I cried at the Doomsday episode!!! Did anyone else?
 
Watched about 4 episodes ( the new series). I know it's not meant to be serious but the show is just so cheesy it makes me cringe.
 
The Ninth Doctor series was pretty damn good. Sadly with David Tennant the show went downhill (though I wouldn't say because of Tennant, he's a superb actor. I lay all the blame on Russel T. Davies and the rest of the writers).
The new episode of the third season was alright, I liked Tennant's performance but the story itself was just a bit too full of plotholes for my taste, even though it was a good idea. Please get rid of the stupid love angle between Rose and the Doctor already, it's over and it was bad to begin with. And no romance between the Doctor and this new companion please.

Favourite episodes; Dalek, The empty child, The Doctor dances and maybe Father's Day.
 
When then hell do they show this on BBC? I've only ever caught it on UKTVG. Anyway, I agree with AJ on the episodes, those were very good even though I missed the first half of the Doctor Dances. I think one of the best momments of the David Tennant series was the end of Army of Ghosts, unfortunatly, Doomsday didn't live up to it. I did enjoy the Cybermen-Dalek dialoge though.
 
My friend - who is a major fan of Doctor Who - said to me weeks before the new series:
"Monday the .... 7:00pm, BBC 1 - the new series of Doctor Who..."

I lol'ed.
 
Well, there's no Doctor Who on at 7 o' clock this Monday on BBC 1 Northern Ireland (For some reason we get that instead of regular BBC here in Ireland, perhaps they thought it would be more appropriate :\)
 
It's Saturday at 7pm.

I thought the episode was alright. Not amazing but it was still decent. I agree about letting the Rose thing go.
 
Dammit - we don't get it down here for a few more months... Time to torrent.

I was enjoying Torchwood more than Dr Who
 
The first episode of the new series was okay. I can't see this new assistant replacing Rose easily.
 
That was quite meh. Next one looks a bit better. To be honest I wasn't expected (SPOILER!) that giant head thing that I can't remember the name of to appear again for a good while longer.
 
Bleh, I hate episodes to do with going back in time to Medievil times or the Victorians or something. Next episode looks nice, though. No doubt the things the Doctor see's in the sewer place at the end will be familar faces.

...

DALEKS!!! AREN'T U GUYZ MENT TO BE DED????

I'm kidding, the writers wouldn't be that silly.
 
They should really leave the Daleks out for the entire season. The way random armies of them keep randomly cropping up when they're all supposed to be dead is a bit silly.

It's the face of Boe and it is confirmed that in the 3rd episode the secret he alluded to in series 2 will be revealed.

I agree. Besides, Daleks are way more scarier when there's just three or four of them. The moment millions of them start flying about (flying? Why? Hovering slowly and flying in space= Okay, but why did they have to make them into ****in' fighter jets at the end of season 2?) I lose all respect for them. What they should do is build a slow background Arc about like a single Dalek "escape timeship" running amok in the galaxy and let it build over the course of 2 or 3 seasons and only have the final showdown at the end of the third season (resulting in the death [a *real* death that is, not being trapped in a parallel universe] of the Doctor's companion) to give the Daleks some credibility.
 
Is annoyed me to no end what they did with the Daleks in the last episode of the last season. I was under the impression that the point of Daleks was that they were un-stoppable, un-carring kill-machines that you cannot bargan with. Then in the first 5 minutes Rose convinced 4 of them not to kill her. And then, as you said, they turned them into fighter jets.
 
Okay so I just watched the latest episode and it was alright. I really liked Tennant's performance when coaxing his new companion with him for the first time, but why do the writers have to always make him love everything about humans and go shouting out how great he thinks we are? If he'd gone through this entire episode saying how he thought Shakespeare was overrated, that would have been enough to make it my favourite Tennant-episode ever because he's much more fun to watch when not madly in love with Rose.
 
I didn't like the references to harry potter in that episode.
 
Was better than the last episode, I liked the idea that words could be another form of science rather than maths. The next one I eargerly await because of the Face of Boe, but those "hover-cars" look like flying buses to me.
 
That one black dalek from the end of Series 2 survived and will be reappearing. I really do wish they would stop "killing them off" only to bring them back in another way seemingly from nowhere. Have the Doctor fight off this dalek when he finds it in a lab or something trying to create other daleks, leaving it with a few of them out there in the universe plotting.
 
As I said, I think they should just leave Daleks out for at least one season.
 
nice preview, we seen Jack Harkness, Mr. Saxon and did I see the doctor getting married in that video?
 
I got to admit, I laughed pretty loud at the Daleks zooming overhead and the villages or whatever running from them.

But christ no more. Some intresting looking creatures coming up I see - can't wait!
 
Nice video! I always thought John Simm (Life on Mars) would be a good doctor. What does everyone else think?
 
Speaking of who would make a good doctor; Even though it goes against the rule of a continually younger doctor, I'd like to see Chris Barrie try it out.
 
Hmm. Can't really imagine Chris being seroius enough to play the Doctor, although I loved him in Red Dwarf, mainly because Rimmer was such a smeghead!!!:D
 
Well I'm of the opinion that David Tennant is too extreme and not serious enough (but because of the writers) but Chris Barrie is more than able to play a serious role.
 
The new series of Doctor Who blows (as in, the entire thing. first guy through to Tennant). I just find it so bad.
 
I don't think Tennant himself is bad actor, nor Chris, but the lack of scientific accuracy throughout the new series annoys me. But I'm gonna keep wathcing nevertheless.

...the basis of the entire show is time travel...

Or did you mean apart from that?

Yeah, like warp drives, teleportation, words are science, all these different alien races finding Earth (though proboaly because of the rift), holding back the sun with magnetic fields, etc. Still, its a nice show for Saturday nights. I guess it takes place in a parralel universe.
 
I'm thinking that it's enjoyable but not as good as it could be... Will still watch {see:download} the new episodes when they come out.

Anyone watch that Torchwood? Another poor show.

Ugh, now that show was truly crap.


Today's episode was fantastic actually. Really neat idea and well executed, but I think it would have been better as a two-parter, the B story didn't get enough time to develop.
Unfortunately next week looks fairly certain to be crap.
