I’m sorry, are you talking to me? Or to me? Or to me? Or to me? Or to us?

It was stuff like this that made RTD's run sometimes feel like some horrid Nickelodeon show. I still appreciate Tennant's performance and some of the characters and stories, but I don't miss the gaudy art direction, Doctor Jesus nonsense, and the aforementioned utter cheese.

[Zoibie]

1) Midnight
2) Impossible Planet/Satan's Pit
3) The Doctor's Wife
4) New Earth
5) Blink

The first two were easy choices, had to think a bit more about the order of the other three.

I liked Martha too. In fact I can't really say there's any companion that I've disliked since the reboot (although River Song has worn out her welcome.)

[Fiction]

My top five:

1. The Doctors Wife
2. Midnight
3. Vincent and the Doctor
4. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
5. Blink

[SquiddyCracker]

These are the worst.

I hate the Judoon design as well, but their personality more than make up for it.

[mclem]

I love "Let's Kill Hitler." How can anyone possibly hate an episode that gives us this:

Rory might be the most badass character in Who history without ever *acting* like a badass. No bravado, no posturing

[Error]

as much flak as RTD gets, some deservedly so, the master is a great character.

Having a rival from the doctor's own race was awesome, and I would love to see that back.

[The Technomancer]

The Master is an old Who villain though. He's very different in the old interpretations of him. I liked RTD's take on him though.

[StalkerUKCG]

We got a Air Date yet?

I was talking to a friend who works at the BBC today and he seems to think its September 15th but he did tell me that was from along time ago and things like this change. But i figure if we know what they were aiming for its going to be sometime close

[Sober]

Close, it goes: Donna> Rory> Amy+Rory> Amy alone> Rose > Captain Jack> Mickey> Martha not with the Doctor> Martha with the Doctor. I've never saw River Song as a companion. More like a fellow time lord.

Rose and Nine is on the same level as Amy, Rose and Ten is only more enjoyable than Martha. There's a reason I really liked the Family of Blood episodes out of her run the most.

ahhh. I have only watched modern Who.

[StalkerUKCG]

How good would it be if the 50th had

David Tennant (Doc 10)
Matt Smith (Doc 11)

John Simm (Master for 10)
Benedict Cumberbatch (Master for 11)

Signs are pointing to September 1st. Press previews are starting in the next week, and the BBCA schedules have a convenient gap starting on the First.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Benedict Cumberbatch (Master for 11)

Wait is this real?

[BatDan]

Wait is this real?

No, just a highly popular wish.

[isny]

What was the special that aired tonight? (Sunday night)

[Fuzzy]

What was the special that aired tonight? (Sunday night)

The Science of Doctor Who. It showed stuff from the show then talked with scientists about whether they were possible or not.

Everything on Dr. Who is a Deus Ex Machina. There is no science to it.

[GillianSeed79]

Signs are pointing to September 1st. Press previews are starting in the next week, and the BBCA schedules have a convenient gap starting on the First.

It has to be soon. BBCA had that new Women of Doctor Who special Saturday and used it as a heavy lead in (broadcast term) for that “Nerd Culture” (name escapes me) talk show they are trying desperately to push. Next week is the Timey-Wimey of Doctor Who special I believe. They've been showing the Season 7 trailer too. I don't think they are airing these new specials if the season isn't going to start soon.

Also :lol at that Rory gif. Pond doesn't deserve the awesome sauce that is Rory.

[Mister Saturn]

Fantastic!

Thanks for the thread, Mr. Sam.

[acheron_xl]

Another chip in on the Donna love. Tate was awesome, especially in Planet of the Ood.

And my top 5 eps. of current Who (at least today - subject to change):

1: The Waters of Mars
2: Blink
3: The Doctor's Wife
4: Utopia
5: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead

Bonus bests!

Best season opener: The Eleventh Hour
Best season finisher: The Parting of the Ways

[infiniteloop]

If anybody lives in or around bristol, they're filming on Corn St next Monday (20th). A familiar haunt for myself having gone to Uni in the town.

[a zoojoo]

My Picks are:
- The Doctor's Wife (My favorite ever)
-The Pandorica Opens (Not a huge fan of The Big Bang, but this episode was fun.)
-The Stolen Earth/ Journey's End(Shit was epic with Davros and all the Companions)
-Silence in The Library/ Forest of The Dead(Intro'd River Song)
-The Eleventh Hour (My favorite opener)

[Garryk]

American here. My sister introduced me to the Doctor with the first episode of series 5. I watched a couple more before I quit. I told her I got to the weeping angels before I stopped watching so she came over last week and made me watch Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead so I would know who River Song was. I was sick this past weekend and watched all of series 5 and 6. I'm now addicted to this show and am going to go watch Eccleston and the rest of the Tennant episodes.

Also, I checked my channel lineup and found out that I can get BBC America. Will this channel carry the new series when it starts over in the UK?

Still hoping for that Dr Who/Casualty crossover. Grew up in Bristol and now live a very long way away...

Top 5 in no particular order

The Eleventh Hour
The Doctor's Wife
The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon
The Waters of Mars
The Girl Who Waited

[Sir_Crocodile]

1)The Doctor's Wife
2)Blink
3)Turn Left/The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
-If the last ten minutes or so of Journey's End were a bit different, this would be my favourite Doctor Who thing ever , including both classic who & nuwho. RTD at his absolute best(until the last 10 where it's RTD at his absolute worst)
4)The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
-Something that for once was completely unknown to the doctor from start to finish.
5)The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon
-The only core nuwho episode with a finale that makes sense, and doesn't feel a bit cheap(doomsday came close)

[mclem]

...but Casualty's no longer shot in Bristol!

4)The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit -Something that for once was completely unknown to the doctor from start to finish.

Midnight too, no?

[DoctorWho]

...but Casualty's no longer shot in Bristol! Midnight too, no?

Yup. Loved that.

[andylsun]

...but Casualty's no longer shot in Bristol!

Yes, I know it moved, but will always think of that as home. Have a picture somewhere of a ambulance marked Holby City parked outside my dad's church in Bedminster Down - they used to use real ambulances with new graphics stuck on top.

[Sir_Crocodile]

Midnight too, no?

Yep - though Midnight did it more for the associated psychological horror reasons(which worked great, it was a really fun & tense ep), while IP/SW shot more for something totally outside the knowledge & scope of the time lords.

I haven't watched it in some years, but I think Holby will always be Bristol for me, too. Heck, the first episode has Charlie driving over the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

I pass them filming in Cardiff quite often.

For anyone who hasn't yet purchased Series 5 & 6: They are selling season 5 & 6 plus special on iTunes for a combined $35.

Plus the last Christmas special. Fantastic price for all of it in hd.

[ag-my001]

My one annoyance with Netflix: "A Christmas Carol" isn't on streaming, or even listed. My favorite Christmas special and probably one of my top 5, not that I'll bother listing them.

"Rory uses the Vashta Nerada as shade" - brilliant, LOL.

[Quick]

For anyone who hasn't yet purchased Series 5 & 6: They are selling season 5 & 6 plus special on iTunes for a combined $35.

Good-ass deal.

Speaking of Series 5 & 6. I really like the quality of the blu-ray/DVD sets. Probably one of the best sets out there for TV shows.

[infiniteloop]

There's a preview screening of Episode 1 today. Please spoiler tag any details and give a heads up on linking to spoilery reviews.

No date yet, but it will be in September.

[infiniteloop]

September 1st it is.

[DeathbyVolcano]

September 1st it is.

squeeeeee!

[infiniteloop]

Coming soon: Asylum of the Daleks, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, A Town Called Mercy, The Power of Three, The Angels Take Manhattan...

[DeathbyVolcano]

Angels Take Manhatten? :o

[infiniteloop]

Confirmed no 2-parters, which we already guessed at.

Supposedly, Matt Smith confirmed he will be in the 2013/14 series, but not seen anything official yet.

[Diprosalic]

i only watched season 5 of who and i was in love with it then i dropped 6 after 1 episode, not really sure why. is it as awesome as 5? i need to marathon trough it and watch 7 live.

[DoctorWho]

Not as awesome as 5 but still worth checking out.

[DeathbyVolcano]

6 has more holy shit moments but I wouldn't say its as good as 5. It's all pretty confusing and its resolution is mostly a "so...what?" type of affair, but it's still massively entertaining.

[infiniteloop]

6 is still very good, imo.

[Exterminieren]

6 is inconsistent, and the arc falls to pieces halfway through, but the highs are higher than in any other series.

[ultron87]

Man, I hated the resolution to Season 6.

...Dinosaurs on a Spaceship?
