Doctor Who Thread

Likewise, though it may be a tad difficult for me since I don't easily associate the titles of episodes with their contents without first going back a bit to read synopses or viewing clips of the shows in question. If you were to set up the game I would almost certainly participate though!

OK then, I'll make sure to put something up in a couple days.

Mary Tamm has died aged 62

[Antonio the Sixth]

Mary Tamm has died aged 62

She was actually my favorite. RIP.

[MasterJedi]

Well Series 7 starts on Saturday. Any thoughts?

[afleitch]

Well that was good

[MasterJedi]

The new companion already? What? What?

But a very good episode tonight!

One of my BFFs was at the premiere in NYC last week.  Apparently Karen Gillan smells like gardenias, in case anyone was wondering

Anyway, excellent start to the season!

I only ever tolerate this show in order to tease Laura about how much she likes it. I don't get it. It's overrated and has no idea what it wants to be.

Just my opinion, which I now realize I'll be reamed over the coals for.

[J. J.]

Well that was good

I thought it was predictable.

As as your realized the sanctuary planet was protected by nanotechnology, you had to realize it would have affected the girl.

I'm at a loss as to how, exactly, the Doctor Who concept, of all concepts, could come to 'know what it wants to be'.

David Bradley (who needs to be in larger parts on the telly more often; he's great) was a properly nasty villain this week, something that's actually surprisingly unusual in Doctor Who. Interesting decision to place such a character in what would otherwise have been a 'silly' episode; I quite liked that, but can see why others might not.

I thought that too. He wasn't a villain who ran away or was 'defeated by love' or anything else but was sent away to certain death. He was a good villain because he was greedy, uncompromising and human. I know alot of people didn't like the episode but I thought it was well paced. Unsuprisingly those who claimed they couldn't follow last series' 'arc' are now complaining because this one doesn't have one.

[Silent Hunter]

Bradley was good, but a lot of that episode wasn't. Trying to do too much really.

[Platypus]

i didn't mind it, particularly the way it finally dealt with Amy being not much more than just Rory's wife/Ricer's mum.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Unexpected Steven Berkoff is unexpected.

[Spanish Moss]

Tennant was the best, and I feel that after him, the show isn't quite as good - although Matt Smith is spectacular.

[bore]

Wowza. That was unexpectedly grim.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The noir stuff was good. Am an eternal sucker for that.

[Silent Hunter]

The noir stuff was good. Am an eternal sucker for that.

I like noir stuff as well - Alex Kingston was great in that role.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

...saying that you could, of course, drive a supertanker through some of the plot holes. But, hey, it's primarily entertainment.

[ilikeverin]

Wowza.

Yowzah.*

I used to watch the Tom Baker episodes when I was younger thanks to my obsessed brother. Still love the intro and theme. So mesmerizing that it becomes ingrained in your memory forever. The doctor after Baker was not too bad either, but I remember being saddened by Baker's departure. Can't say I've seen anything else, and don't really remember much in the way of details.

Warning: SPOILERS

Best companion departure, because of how final it really seemed.
