Doctor Who Thread

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I grew up watching the original Doctor Who on Maryland Public Television.

I've really enjoyed the new series, except for the last season. I can't stand Matt Smith.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Yeah, the one good thing about the new season (I can't stand Matt Smith).

[JohnnyLongtorso]

You have really weird opinions.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Giving Fear Her a better rating than anything else, since it's pretty much universally considered the worst episode of the new series, for example.

School Reunion is also one of my favorite episodes. Mostly for Sarah Jane, because Elisabeth Sladen is really a much better actress than you would expect from the classic series, but I really thought Tony Head did a good job of being the stereotypically-polite-but-menacing Doctor Who villain.

I also thought The Girl in the Fireplace was generally considered one of the best episodes of the new series. I haven't rewatched it since I first saw it three or four years ago, so I'm not sure how it holds up.

I mean, are you going to give Blink a 2 as well?

So, to those who watched the newest episode, one question to pose -

Who's kid is that?

Amy was talking about thinking she was pregnant and was worried what traveling in the TARDIS would do to a fetus. Then the Doctor scanned Amy and it turns out she *is* pregnant. Then we see a mysterious child who can regenerate. This is either blatant foreshadowing or a blatant misdirection.

Season 6 is already better than season 5. I don't hate Matt Smith so much, and I really think River Song needs her own spinoff series.

Don't you mean is/is not pregnant?

She said she wasn't but she thought she was at one point.

Oh, I was referring to the scanner saying positive and negative at the same time.

I didn't see that, I just saw it say positive.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Yeah, people are calling it: she'll probably be the next companion.

Otherwise, that last episode was awful. Made no sense and was just a mish-mash of bad ideas.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

You in the UK are an episode ahead of us Americans. I was referring to the second part of the acid factory/living flesh people thing.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Let's Kill Hitler was okay, but the episode after it was crap (which, since it was written by Mark Gatiss, is no surprise).
