Doctor Who Series 8

[belboid]

Interestingly (or not), the Tunguska incident has cropped up in Doctor Who before, when Ace pushes some dude out of the Tardis, and he explodes. It's only a book tho, so can probably be forgotten about.

And at least he got the year right - when it got a mention in Buffy, Willow said it took place in 1917!

1911 right? That's without googling mind you...

1908, so not far off.

Well, now you've settled that, maybe you could clear up once and for all whether Dr Who fans are nerds or not

I've had phases with the doc - didn't care for the last one but I love Peter capaldi - I'd like him to get a smarter less attention seeking companion though. Are we nerds? I don't care.​

 

[billy_bob]

No, neither do I, I was just amused by the stereotype-confirming nature of the exchange above me

Capaldoctor is great. The stories... Less so

For when you maths so hard it takes up space

For when you maths so hard it takes up space

... and time!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

well.... spacetime...

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I must apologise that I have not read the whole thread but I just have to say - I have not watched Dr Who for years and have started watching just because it's Peter Capaldi and I am having such fun! And I think I am more than a little bit in love with Mr Capaldi. As I think I have been since the early 90s when I saw him in Mr Wakefield's Crusade.

Anyway - as you were.

Pardon me for taking an interest in world history

 

[ginger_syn]

the drama channel is showing the William Hartnell story the Aztecs on Sunday afternoon as well as an adventure in time and space, not really relevant to series 8 but I thought it worth a heads up as its a freeview channel

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

also the first time the doctor gets married

 

[Awesome Wells]

I'm going out on a limb and will speculate Missy is Amy Pond.

Is her cyber army meant to be fuelled by all the dead people she collects?

Cheers. I never look at that channel. Is it lower down than the Welsh channel?

What kind of locations does the Aztecs use? As bad as the other Hartnell stuff?

 

[ginger_syn]

it's channel 20 on my box ,as for locations I've not seen it. didn't start watching until pertwee's last series and have only got a few classic who dvd's, mostly dalek ones. I'm actually looking forward to it even with adverts

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Just watched last Saturday's episode. My god, what a steaming pile. Magic reset bullshit. Even with capaldi, this was utter drivel.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Works for Unit with Kate Stewart?

There was a mention of unit from pink in this ep. Called the doctor a special unit or something. I can't remember.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

More shitting magic.

Boo.

 

[8115]

Why are things in tanks so scary?

Also, they're not dead

 

[8115]

Yay! Welcome to paradise!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I hope it is a not dead thing

 

[AverageJoe]

Sorry but....

"You have Wifi in the afterlife?"
"We....have Steve Jobs"
