Something hilariously creepy! :laugh: I loved that scene! And I love that we don't get to know.

Imagine all the possible pranks we can now pull on all other Whovians.. :D (The ones with the Weeping Angels were getting a bit old now.)

That's typical Moffat, not explaining things. Chances are we probably won't get half of it explained in the end at all. Or we get three or four options and have to pick one for ourself. (I hate it when he does that.) World's biggest troll. :laugh:

It's really rather great how half the things in this season seem to be more about the interaction between fans and the show, than the actual show itself. The first ep where Clara's reaction was a direct metaphor of the way all the fans handle getting used to a new doctor, and the last dialogue with Robin Hood where he says 'I'm just as real as you are' in a direct response to all the fans complaining how Robin Hood wasn't real and they shouldn't do the ep.

I just hope Moffat stays the hell away from Fanfiction and Tumblr on this show.... :eek: I ran out of brain bleach last January. :eek:

And I wouldn't really be surprised if even that filler turned out to have some relevance. Remember the one with the pirates in Series 6? They ended up playing a part in the actual plot. (Not a big one, but still, they were a part.)

My favourite ep is the 50th special, I think. (Never could pick one, though.) :)
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
Plus the massive following keeps the show up.

Too many shows depend on the special effects and sometimes sideline the stories because it all about visuals.
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
The reboot has as high a production value as anything - and I've seen many fans complain that it's falling into the trap of flash over content. No matter how you feel about that, the effects of the series today certainly holds up to modern viewing and is a huge change from if you watch the classic series.

As for 12 regenerations, everyone seems to agree that that was some sort of Time Lord law, not biology - and that so many things would have changed it, anyway. Also, 12 regenerations would mean 13 bodies. They've already set up so much precidence for circumventing or overcoming the "12" limit, that I really don't think they'd let a hit show die just to stick to that point.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
See,

This is why the series continues...fans following.
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
It's kind of cute that they picked "12", probably not thinking the show would be around now. Or perhaps they've had a plan all along. Dun dun dunnnnn.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
I dunno there's a lot of poignancy in many of the episodes that strike true.

The episode on the future ark where the bad guys kill the stegosaurus that Who trains like a dog.

That episode hit me hard because we have pets and made a connection there.

Things like this show growth in the series as far as this fan is concerned.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
I do suspect we'll get a different actor at the end of S7 or in the last S8. That whole "Fall of the eleventh" thing is a bit obvious. :rolleyes:

As for who could play 12... I honestly don't know. I'm hoping it's new talent, though. Some of the suggestions I've heard on IMDB are not a good idea.

Also, when is the 50th anniversary special set to air, anyway? I haven't heard a thing about it since november.

S7 E7 is set for April, by the way. 7 months in between airings, decent enough. It could be worse. ( :( :crying: )

Well there's a Tenant Dr in the alternate universe with Rose still right?

We're talking best or sexiest? Lol..Donna was the one companion not crushing on the Doctor during her entire run and the DrDonna was the cherry on top
[Off-topic] Pennycake:
I'm really burned out on young-actor Doctors - that being mostly Matt Smith. I think he's done a fine job, but it's like a puppy - it's cute, but has potential to mature. It's not his fault he looks/really still is young.

But, fangirls. So probably won't happen. But if George Clooney can have fangirls... Why not? Hell, the dwarves from The Hobbit have fangirls. I don't think it takes a lot.

I mean, isn't it "funny" that they picked 12, perhaps thinking that the show wouldn't be around long enough to have to deal with that.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Well he is the youngest actor ever to play The Doctor... He's what, 26, 27?

Next time someone mid-30's, please. But you're probably right... Fangirls and all. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] pissat4motion:
There is that tenant Doctor but he's more human than time lord and will age and die. But as I mentioned earlier in the thread dr River Song saved the Doctor and 'rebooted' his regenerations by 8? I think is the number.

Isn't the door also open to a female Doctor? Would definitely be an adjustment to get used to but its been put out there in the episode 'the Doctors Wife'
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
The doctors "wife" was the tardis or did you all miss that :rolleyes: there is an opening for a female Doctor because he was cloned in one episode and the clone is female, think it has something to do with the girl he keeps meeting in recent episodes

[Off-topic] pissat4motion:
Didn't miss that... but you obviously missed him mentioning another time lord that regenerated as a woman once in that same eps.
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
No i didn't miss that, it was also hinted at in the end of time episode where a female timelord showed her face a part of the council, she also appeared in a couple of other episodes and promptly disappeared after hinting at how to help the doctor. Moffat has also said that he has thought about regenerating the doctor in female form.

[Off-topic] pissat4motion:
Glad you caught that... only missed that was what I was referring to and not "Sexy/old girl/Tardis" of that ep.. :)

I remember the female timelord too... didn't take that as a hint though to a possible future female Doctor. The Doctors mother maybe ..lol.

Which episode was he cloned in?
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
It was the doctors daughter episode, the small blonde lass that came about from the doctors hand that was severed

[Off-topic] xaccers:
I think David Tennant might object if that were the case :)

The 5th Doctor is Peter Davison, who is really Peter Moffett (and changed his name to Davison to avoid confusion with the director Peter Moffatt who directed some of the Dr Who episodes in the early 80s). He had a daughter; Georgia Moffett, who is an actress.

Georgia Moffett played David Tennant's daughter Jenny in an episode of Dr Who.

They had two kids and he adopted the son she had when she was 16 (the hussy!) then they married.
[Off-topic] jugg1es:
I knew her name was Moffat, and i knew she was the 5 th doctors daughter. But that's as much as i knew

Actually the Doctor that ended up with Rose came from the severed hand..the daughter was created from his genetic material taken by a machine/replicater. That was a pretty good episode..and she looks really young...too young for Tennant..lol

I always wonder when Doctors Daughter going to show up again???

Now, they have 2 live Time Lords...no actually 3, they also didn't showed anything about the Doctor's granddaughter..Susan...after she was left by Doctor in 22nd century.... I know her role was quite old but it would be a great comeback of her as grown up women...but sadly no chance of going to happen...

In a way everyone is, as the show is not linear. And just because she used them all up at once makes her no less a Time Lord (Lady? They never clarified that) than the Doctor will be in his last regeneration.

But they showed it would be based on finding who's Oswin...and I don't think Moffat gonna let it out that easily... The secret about WHO....anyways I think this season will be interesting than the last one.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Yeah the Oswin story is looking really interesting. I saw a suggestion on a forum after her 1st episode that she'd die in every episode till he figured out what's going on, and that's looking quite plausible now. That would make for an awesome storyline.
[Off-topic] nishanty13:
Nah! I don't think all. It would become repetitive in that case...AFAIThink he will meet Oswin this time in so called present and she will be her companion. But maybe two or three continuous deaths will be interesting to piss Doctor off...:p and when Doctor is pissed he acts brilliantly.
[Off-topic] pissat4motion:
Hopefully this background mystery will make this series more interesting . Who is this chic, Oswin, that's present in multiple places in time? And how does she not know about herself if in fact she doesn't? And is the Doctor going to fool around on River..lol? They've got a lot of explaining to do in this short season...:)

Torchwood was good until the last series which was unbelievably bad! I don't think they will do another series now! The episode of DW this Saturday I thought was not that good. Story was too rushed and the singing was irritating!

'this series' is a bit relative in terms of a timeframe, seeing as how BBC shows have the tendency to span over a year or more per series... ;)

And Moffat's shows do have the record on longest waiting time *grumble* *annoyed*

Torchwood was fun. Miracle Day, whilst utter crap, was rather interestingly harsh and realistic, or well as realistic as it can be, considering it is still Torchwood. (because yes, humanity truly would do exactly that.).

Sarah Jane Adventures was quite entertaining too, even if it was a kids show.

Yeah I agree about that last episode. It wasn't great.

I liked the wifi one though :D

[Off-topic] Archer:
Torchwood in Wales was awesome, but it was unfortunately killed when it went over the the States. It was just a different show with the same characters. Miracle day would have been okay as a programme without needing to wrench Torchwood into it.

Personally, I loved this week's Who. It seems that people either loved it or hated it, but it totally did it for me, apart from the terrible ending that made no sense! Clara's already an awesome companion though. Really liking her, which is a good thing since Matt Smith is a little annoying.

Thats too bad. I know Tom refused to do the 5 Doctors but I would really like to see an epic 10 Doctors. I never liked Patrick very much, he was kind of a nancy boy, speaking in the proper vernacular, and I didnt get bsck into DW until Collin came in.

Im kind of a TB purist I still think no one characterized the good Doctor as well as he did. TB (again this is my own fanboy opinion :p ) really, was the one who brought the show to life and made it one of my favs. Never forget the day when my pops was watching this weird show with this killer synth intro...I was wtf is this????
