Doctor Who Thread

Well Series 7 starts on Saturday. Any thoughts?

[MasterJedi]

The new companion already? What? What?

But a very good episode tonight!

[MasterJedi]

Well that was the most heartbreaking episode of Doctor Who episode. Goodbye Ponds, you will be missed.

New episode tonight, who's excited? I have to avoid the Doctor Who sites tonight so I don't get spoiled.

On another note I'm working my way through Old Who. It's really good, but not as good as Nu Who. They just delivered the "Planet of the Giants" story DVD yesterday so I'll get to that soon.

christmas ep...better than last year's, and overally not awful at all really.

That's all I really ask for from the 'plot' of a Doctor Who Christmas episode.

MasterJedi is watching the First Doctor? Excellent.

MasterJedi: what are you doing about the missing stories?

Pisses me off since I won't be able to view all of the series. So far though (I've been buying all the episodes to watch them instead of just breezing through them all online) I've only had to not watch "Marco Polo" and "Reign of Terror" but it looks like later First Doctor and definitly the Second Doctor absolutly get destroyed by that horrible BBC policy. What I've basically been doing is reading the synopsis on Wikipedia/other sites to get all of what happens.

That Christmas Special was amazing! It's up there at the same level as A Christmas Carol. Second half of Series 7 looks amazing too, better then the first half and I still loved it. Still sad to see Amy go but I do really like Clara as well.

I prefer Moffat to RTD. I like the complex storylines that play out the whole season to RTD's approach where there's sorta something there all season and then BAM everything comes from nowhere in the last episode.

On another note, anyone else want to see a Paternoster Gang spinoff show? Vastra, Jenny and Strax stopping regular crimes and wibbley wobbley, timey wimey things?

[MasterJedi]

Thought I'd post this because I doubt many even knew it was made but it's the final unshot scene after The Angels Take Manhattan. Really sad.

Yesterday a 2013 Christmas Special was officially confirmed. We don't know exactly what is happening with the Anniversary Special, but right now it appears to at least be one 60 min. special with the BBC telling us they haven't announced anything yet and it will "blow our minds".

Oh, also a Series 8 was confirmed but no date, most likely later 2014.
