New Series of Dr Who

[janeb]

I've watched dr who since pertwee, and Smith is my favourite after Baker-and now running that pretty close. He is proper alien with real humanity

Yeah, what janeb says. Same age, same era (probably!). Smith is fucking wonderful.

Personally don't think Matt Smith is experienced enough as an actor... He's improved over the series, but is a bit too reliant on the quirky-mad face, not much emotional depth. Good mind you, just not as good as Tennant or Ecclestone... However acting ability is only part of it, in a sense it's nice to have someone finding their feet (hasn't done a sort of revert to type), also better scripting/direction pushes him ahead of Tennant a lot of the time.

Hope he regenerates into Toby Jones though.

that's strange, seeing as the episodes have been shot in a completely different order to the one that they've been broadcast in.

It always was 'family entertainment' and always will be. And the headbutting was far better than any amount of exposition, worked perfectly well.

More contemporary than a Vulcan mind meld, at any rate

 

[zoooo]

And I really dislike Amy. She does this weird thing all of the time where she slumps her shoulders, hangs her head, lets her hair fall forward and looks up through it in a way that I think is meant to look cute but just succeeds in making her look mentally challenged. She's not Martha bad, but she's still bad.

Yes, she's quite one-note. She seems to have one facial expression: pursed lips and a slight frown. And she delivers almost every line in the same smug bellowing way.
Quite crap.

But very pretty, which I guess is the point of her.

I bet she's quite easy to impersonate, I can imagine Roni Ancona having a good go at one in the next series of that impressions show.

Fair point, possibly just that the character development in the script gets better.

Smith has definitely made the part his own already. I believe he is the Doctor now.

Was it this part? No wonder kids hide behind the sofa.

(15 mins 10 seconds if you are that bothered....

Right, the thing that comes out of the Pandorica, the biggest threat to everything ever... I reckon it's going to be the Doctor.

Maybe a future version of him that has gone a bit wrong and evil. And River, or Amy (or both as they could well be the same person) is going to have to kill him.

Maybe...

 

[belboid]

ooh yes, Bizarro World Doctor! Class notion

There is a certain half-human version of the Doctor in an alternate universe...

That's rather harsh, although certainly the years have not been kind to Colin Baker.

I think that happens in the next episode as this is the BBC blurb for the last episode, The Big Bang: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/2010/wk26/sat.shtml#sat_doctorwho

It isn't like the man wasn't fond of his dinner before that photo. He looks hale and hearty there.

speaking of the Doctor's cock there's a Virgin soft porn novel all about Paul/the 8th Doctor Mcgann's 'perky penis' http://www.portiadacosta.com/thestranger.html (NSFW)

 

[rollinder]

Yeah, I thought similar

me too - think it'll be The Dream Lord/Valeyard/half-a-Tennant or The Doctor we've been seeing this series turns out to not really be the Doctor but an embodyment of him created by the cosmic forces of the crack or some such bollocks and the real Doctor is in the Pandorica.

Spoiler: spoiler or wild fan theory?

and then there's the theory that's been saying similar about Amy not being the real Amelia Pond...

I had a dream inspired by that trailor on Saturday night (before reading any theories) that it was the Dream Lord and Tennant was mysteriously there instead of Matt & getting cross with him for turning up again.

a cross between bill oddie and biggins

he does too

[fieryjack]

last time I looked imdb Bonnie Langford was returning as The Rani and she's now married to Sutekh as played by Terry Nutkins.

not a reliable source. Not always wrong, like, but not worth fretting over.

 

[Pingu]

plus tbh are you going to trust anything posted by someone called "the master" on a Dr Who thread?

Indeed, always in the background meddling in the Doctor's plans...

I complained 5 times and am suing the BBC for the cost of a perfectly good pair of trousers.
