    Mostly because Sly said not too… ;)

    A friend of mine more or less kidnapped me last year and forced me to watch Doctor Who. I was never much of a sci-fi fan before that and I thought the Doctor looked creepy, but to my shock I absolutely loved the show. So I’ve watched all of the new series (and will weep bitterly all through the Christmas special) and am working my way through the old ones.

  1.  
    Everyone raves about Dr. Who I should see it, especially since Scrubs ended *sob sob*. Dr. Who and NCIS makes a nice tidy two shows to watch. Just enough to rot my brain with.

    What's it about?
  2.  
    It's about some guy in a giant blue box that travels through time and space while abducting British girls and battling oversized pepper shakers.

    ...It's much better than it sounds.

    That will never happen with Doctor Who. It will expaaaand your mind. Especially now that Moffat is at the helm. ALL HAIL STEPHEN MOFFAT.

    I’m a nu Whovian, too, I’ve watched some old Who— but, well, it’s never shown on free TV. ;_; And I can’t afford all the DVDs, and then you won’t get the whole of it anyway because of the lost episodes. Sigh.

    Anyway, I am a fervant Donna lover. She and Martha are the awesomest companions ever. (YEAH. I SAID IT, ELANOR). I love David Tennant so much, but I look forward to Matt Smith. I can’t wait to see his performance. Admittedly, I think it would be fun to have an older Doctor, but, I’m not counting him out yet.

    And I’m not sure if I love SJA more than Doctor Who lately. Because Sarah Jane is just That Amazing.

    Yeah, but Sarah Jane doesn’t fight oversized pepper shakers… usually.

    MdC, your summary is right on. It pretty much is just that! Although on occasions he takes time out to battle other things, like robots and slime monsters and freaky bat things that enslave British schoolchildren. Oh, and he’s an alien that never really dies, no matter how much you kill him.

    I’m apprehensive about Matt Smith… I didn’t watch DW back when Christopher Eccleston was around, so this is my first time losing a Doctor. But I heard the Master might be coming back to kill David Tennant, and he’d better get a fabulous death! I love him so much… and I’m extremely excited about Steven Moffat taking over. Don’t Blink was amazing. (It was also the first DW episode I ever watched!)

    I prefer the original series, if only because I was familiar with it before Russell T Davies started his continuity-violation spree. It also doesn't have blatant Doctor-worship, quite as much physics fail, an obsession with forcing the Daleks into every season, unnecessary emphasis on (strangely all-female, and with only one at a time) companions' families and unresolved and uncharacteristic sexual tension.

    Was there sexual tension with Donna, though? I mean, sort of, but not really- neither of them ever was really attracted to the other.

    Thank god. That’s why I loved Donna. Sheesh. I think modern day audiences can just maybe cope with the idea that a male and female can be friends, without sexual tension. <<

    Yeah, but Sarah Jane doesn’t fight oversized pepper shakers… usually.

    Yeah, but the series is fabulously written. The characters are incredibly well acted and crafted out. And it actually has real emotion, and doesn’t rely on swearing and sex to have adult moments. Take when Sarah Jane was telling Luke how she got her phobia of clowns, that was so emotionally heartbreaking. Or when Chrissy talks to Alan while he’s a statue in the Gorgon episodes— they show divorce situations that probably a lot of kids are familiar with and they write them well and sensitively.

    I’m apprehensive about Matt Smith…

    Judge him on his performance, not because he’s “replacing” David Tennant. I love David as much as the next gal, but he chose to leave.

    But I heard the Master might be coming back to kill David Tennant,

    Blargh, but of course it will be John Simm. And he wouldn’t have regenerated, because heaven knows audiences are too dumb to cope with a Change Of Faces.

    Blink was amazing. (It was also the first DW episode I ever watched!)

    I watched Blink once, and I will never watch it again. I don’t want to be desensitised to that absolute, soul-chilling fear that it induced.

    Also, Torchwood sucks. :D

    Hopefully the shipteasing will be going along with RTD. And Torchwood could improve now that he's focusing on that alone. Although as they just killed off the two best characters (Toshiko and Owen), after spending much of season two making Owen sympathetic and likeable, I'm not sure how that's going to happen. Why couldn't it have been Gwen and Rhys?

    Owen. Best character.

    <dies laughing>

    Sorry, not for me. The series finale was wasted on me because I spent the whole time cheering and laughing. Not to sound harsh, I used to love Tosh, but not enough to care about their deaths. The best part about that was when someone on lj suggested Owen should come back Murray-style as a talking skull.

    I actually like Rhys, he’s way too good for Gwen, whom I never really liked. He’s kind, courageous and such a Nice Man. :)

    Aw, heck, I’ll admit it. Rhys is the only one I like out of all of them.

  3.  

    I liked Davros at the Season Finale. He was just so… happy… with what he had made. I don’t mind the Daleks (their voices make me giggle) but I wouldn’t mind taking a break from them for a season’s ending.

    *dies laughing* That is epic, Jeni. Popular Culture Exploitation at it's finest.

    I love Dr. Who; it has to be my favourite show (which is saying alot because I don't really like too many tv shows).
    Although it is a bit of a continuity mess up to have John Simm back, I'm kind of happy simply because he was such a good master. You managed to hate him and love him at the same time.

    And I am in deep mourning that DT is leaving, but I've seen Matt Smith in Ruby in the Smoke (Playing across from a certain Billie Piper... :) ), and he was great. Didn't look as emo. I still can't wait to see what new personality they give the Doctor....but I'm still going to miss DT's zany, bouncy and goofy Doctor very much. What I loved is that his happiness provided a terrifying contrast for whenever he got >:|. It was so creepy.

    @OLD: Davros was awesome. And the psycho-seer Dalek was hilarious too. Funny laugh + Dalek voice = WIN

    I agree with most of those points, particularly the annoying Doctorlove, human-centricity (why not go to some fun places, rather than following human cilivisation around everywhere?), human/Doctor worship, Time Lord angst, Russell T Davies’ obsession with his own creations (why can’t we have the far-superior Mondas Cybermen instead of the parallel universe ones?) and all-around cringeworthy awfulness of Last of the Time Lords.

    And then… and then… and then…

    mind. Boggled.

    Re: bets. My bets are on “Whatever you’re doing… stop”, brainy specs, “Brilliant!”, the Doctor knocking four times himself, Christopher Eccleston cameo (if Jeni’s right, then either it’s going to be Doc10 and Doc11, Doc11 and Doc9, or Doc10 and Doc9, so this one’s possible… right?), “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry”, “Destroyer of Worlds!”, weepy Doctor, cliffhanger resolved in under 5 minutes, previously unseen Time Lord powers (as in, lightning bolts and flying and whatnot), and slow motion dramatic walking coupled with a slow motion destruction with muted sound. So basically a Dramatic Walk.

    Also, that lady on the TV, she’s got to be someone! I can’t see the Rani ever helping the Doctor, so Romana is possible… also, WHO IS WILF?! He’s either a human or a Time-Lord-turned-human, because the Master was affecting him, but… but… gahh! holds head and weeps

    Well, that Part 2 was definitely entertaining. If a bit anticlimactic and unsatisfying and nonsensical in places. But not as bad as it could have been!

    Also, Swenson, I don’t think the woman can be Romana – RTD stated in a source somewhere (one of the official children’s annuals, I think) that she returned from E-Space with K9 and became the President of Gallifrey, then started the Time War through a complicated series of events involving Time Lord-Dalek peace talks and the breaking-down thereof. Although this account is a bit unlikely based on everything it contradicts (like Romana’s entire character ), it appears to be canon.

    Omgomgomg, they totally have to get David Tennant in to carry the Olympic Torch in a couple of years. I am convinced of this.

    OK, I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS.

    Turns out I found Jackie and Pete more moving and I’MGONNACRYNOW than the whole Rose thing in Doomsday.

    Martha and Donna have totally screwed me up.

    WITH THEIR AWESOMENESS.

    (Yes, this post does deserve caps attack because of MARTHA and DONNA).

    WELL. YOU KNOW.

    It gets better later, maybe that’s why?

    And I still don’t believe in Doctor/Rose. GAH. There’s chemistry, but just not that kind of chemistry.

    Whereas with Pete and Jackie it’s… awww! I love ‘em to bits. :3

    Edit: I just realised why I love Jackie so much — Love & Monsters. Goddamn, that episode was so beautiful. Showing the side that we never see — she’s been abandoned by both Rose and Mickey, left to cope on her own and that’s the only episode THAT DEALS WITH IT.

    WELL, I have only just watched them recently. Before Monday I wouldn’t have been able to tell you much about them either (apart from THE ELO MR. BLUE SKY. YEAH.)

    Haha well I figure the best way to end my lurking on this amazing site is to show up on the Doctor Who thread. I've been a Whovian ever since I can remember, really. I know my Daleks from my Krotons, my Rasslions from my Omegas. I love Who. :)

    I've sadly been spoiled beyond belief. Big Finish's line of Doctor Who and Bernice Summerfield (amongst others) radio dramas are almost universally sublime. It's hard to go from that to the hit-or-missitudes of the new series. Davies' penchant for Deus Ex Machina and the magic reset button gets pretty old after a while when compared to Big Finish's offers like The Holy Terror. Blink is probably my favorite New Who episode (an opinion many share I gather) and knowing that the fella who wrote that one is in charge now warms my heart indeed. :)
