i'm not surprised the Time War story will be told. Davies seems like the type who at least likes to wrap up his own stories and the time war is the big one he's referenced but never really shown. it'll be good to see mcgann and get some closure, i really hope they can get eccleston for at least a cameo to show the regeneration. it just doesn't sit right that we have hartnell through mcgann in clear regenerations but a gap between 8 and 9.
anyone read the link i posted? moffet's thoughts on the series are interesting, especially since they were given way before he was on the show or up for the head writer post, so there's a brutal honesty in his opinions.
Bow ties are coool.

While I agree I would love to see The Time War, I'd love to see it as a movie rather than a television episode. And I totally want to see the regeneration. However, I doubt they're going to show that, if only because they wouldn't be able to get Eccles back for the cameo. anyone read the link i posted? moffet's thoughts on the series are interesting, especially since they were given way before he was on the show or up for the head writer post, so there's a brutal honesty in his opinions. I had already read this awhile back. And while I agree with most of what Moffat says, I also think he was being too much of an elitist to be able to judge the series so harshly. Not to mention, I first saw this when someone brought this up over at the OG Boards where Moffat is/was known to post as himself. He admitted to being embarrassed by the twelve-year-old article, and explained that "age mellows". So, take that for what you will. Meanwhile, his obvious love of Davison is apparent with Time Crash. Ray, what Doctor are you watching right now?

I think Moffat's views in that article where definitely clouded by his love for Davidson. Yeah, a lot of those episodes have crap writing, acting, and FX; but can he really say that Davidson was the only good actor out of the bunch noted by how he kept acting after the show. Troughton performed Shakespeare with Sir Laurence Olivier. Hartnell was a well established actor before getting the role and didn't continue acting due to his health. Pertwee kept acting up until just before his death in 1996.

watching a lot of Tom Baker episodes, and Colin Baker episodes. Trial of a Time Lord is shit but his first year (with the 45 minute episodes and the lovely Peri) are pretty good. Really enjoyed Mark of the Rani, the Cyberman story, and the Two Doctors.
Really loving Tom Baker stories. City of Death is just awesome. Funny and yet with a very clever premise. Nice little John Cleese cameo.
Enjoyed the young hot Sarah Jane Smith,Leela is pretty good, and love Romana II. Destiny of the Daleks, Face of Evil, Talons of Wang Chieng, Creature in the pit stood out. Creature From the Pit is one of my favorites. The old woman servant of the Queen or whatever was in the first episodes of Doctor Who ever. Also if you can check out The Androids of Tara. It's excellent. Creature from the Pit was my first Who!

Paul McGann, the 8th incarnation of The Doctor. The one before Christopher Eccleston, and the incarnation that supposedly fought in The Time War...
I recently made the very bad decision to watch the Dr. Who movie. Is there any way we can petition the Beeb to have it reconned? It's fucking atrocious, and if retconned we at least have another Dr incarnation.

I didn't think it was completely crap.
It certainly wasn't written by people who understood Doctor Who.

It certainly wasn't written by people who understood Doctor Who.  Agree with Cunty a little. Americans should limit themselves to putting up backing for Doctor Who, as far as involvement. Otherwise, let the Brits do their thing. The TV Movie for all of its cheese and fail has at least two very strong things going for it: - 1) The design of the console room. Fuck-ing beautiful! The best console room design ever seen in any incarnation of Who, imo.
2) Paul McGann/8th Doctor. He was solid as a rock from his first appearance. The Lord Byron of incarnations. The romantic action hero. He absolutely deserves to get more screentime.
Eric Roberts was horrid. But, then again, he was only a few steps from Anthoney Ainley's twisting-mustache panto incarnation. So, I can live with it (if I have to). And, as of this last finale story, the whole 'half-human' thing has been decidedly swept under the rug. So, I'm good there. For me, the only truly bad thing about 'The Enemy Within' is the amount of potential it wasted by having a script penned, by what must have been, a large team of drunken otters. Because, it made noooooooo fucking sense whatsoever. And I'm still biding my time for the Chang Lee/Mickey Smith team-up episode...

Who is, at its very essence, British and should remain as so.
By the same token, us Brits should avoid trying to make stuff thats essentially American.
I think the whole idea of Hot Fuzz was basically saying that.
Pegg maybe a fan of big cop buddy movies, but he knows there is no way we could make one over here without it looking absurd.
Lets face it, if the US networks decided to do a US version of Who, it would end up like Star Trek or something!

...or, you know, the TV Movie version where the Doctor is hooking up every episode, and is half-human, motorcycle chases, etc., etc...

I don't know if I'd say it being 'American' was all that was wrong with it. It was written by a Brit, directed by a Brit, and had Brits as producers. Seems more like a simple lack of a qualified creative team all around.
