Too bad that I don't have your future watching powers.

Check your PM

Watching it.

LOL @ Rory's gay.

EDIT AGAIN: holy mindfuck @ Mel's quickening.

SPOILER ALERT.

EDIT AGAIN: Holy shit.

There was so much awesome in this episode! I had no idea at any point in this episode what the heck was going to happen next!

For Gobs sake,Adolf Hitler was just a small part in the story!

the Hitler feint (I think they even referenced it in the script. With the "faint" thing) was just to get you to watch, you nazi loving scum.

SPOILER ALERT

- The fish fingers and custard thing. I thought that was going to be the cure for the poison, and I thought he went back to young amelia to get those (and he was faking dying the whole time). I also noticed that he had the same clothes he wore to Amy's wedding.

- In line with the above, there was a scene in The Eleventh Hour where it looks like the doctor came back to amelia in the morning (just a scene of her looking up to something while the TARDIS landing sounds are going on). It didn't fit in with anything from that season, and was never revisited in the Big Bang.

- Maybe the doctor wasn't really dying? And it's just a trick to get River to give up her remaining regenerations.

- Also, does this mean the doctor now has more than 1 regeneration left (since River used up all of hers to revive him).

Oooh! I didn't catch/think of that! I don't know. It might be too much, even for Moffat.



I don't know. It seemed like he was really dying. But, you could be right. This Doctor is a crafty bastard.



Well, he had two left (he can regenerate twelve times, creating thirteen different bodies), unless you count RTD's half-generate from Journey's End which gave us Hand-Doctor. I don't count it. But, either way, you're right. That one scene is all we need to say The Doctor has more than 13 lives now. Simple as that.

The commentary for Eleventh Hour says that it was supposed to be revisited in Big Bang, but was cut for time or some reason.

goddamnit. they shoulda featured amelia more. she's more adorable than amy. although with this episode, she's starting to grow up and lose the cuteness.

I have no idea about any of this shit,however I have a co-worker who loves Doctor Who and thinks I know all about it and keeps going on about it.I actually sat down and watched some episodes of I guess last season and didn't understand anything aside from the fact I know about regeneration,how many Doctor's there have been so far and that Tom Baker is still the only Doctor Who I give a shit about.

"Shit"? This from a guy who liked Green Lantern?

Allan, honestly, if you're interested and have Netflix, go HERE and start with Season 1. It's the 2005 return of the show, and is the perfect jumping-on point for anyone who has never seen an episode. If you like Smallville and Buffy and things like that, you will like Doctor Who. Promise. Meanwhile, if you don't like that kind of stuff, there's still some gold in Who worth anyone's attention (i.e. the episode called "Blink").

The current season 6 just resumed from a mid-season break last night. Don't try and jump in there, unless you're like me and enjoy baffling complexity. I stated watching Who at six-years-old, in the middle of a Tom Baker episode I accidentally found. I started comics with the Teen Titans 'Judas Contract' and Crisis on Infinite Earths. That was my FIRST exposure to DC. So, if you like jumping into the middle of chaos and a billion questions, jump in next week and work it out on your own. If not, check out the link above. I really, really think YOU will like the show.

BTW, this year alone I have gotten four people to watch the show. They are hooked, watching it religiously now. It's quite addictive. Watch at your own risk.

Also BTW, Tom Baker is STILL The Doctor. He's a legend. But, this new guy Matt Smith? He's coming dangerously close to matching the same epic heights. Check him out. He starts with Season 5.

Way ahead of you Pro....sort of.I watched the first episode with Matt Smith not too long ago and that was it.Me,I like watching something I don't really know a whole lot about.I have the basics of Doctor Who and went from there.Scrolled along the Netflix list and saw "Vampires of Venice" episode.I always dig vampire stuff(aside from Twilight which is well and truly a big steaming pile),so watched that.I dug it and will check out other episodes here and there.





Green Lantern is still awesome.

You should check out some of Chris Eccleston's episodes from 2005, too, as well as David Tennant (seasons 2-4). Glad you're dipping your toes in...

I was in allan's position a couple of years ago, I already saw this thread and saw the lot of you gushing about the episodes (I think this was in the Tennant time, I remember one of the ep previews about the Satan's Pit). I checked it out by reading some descriptions and episode synopsis, and thought it wasn't for me. Didn't get what was so fun about it.

Then I watched Blink. Got interested in who the doctor was, read some sites about the character, and started downloading episodes from there. After a few episodes from Tennant's run, I saw that the weeping angels are back, but it's with a different doctor. So I downloaded those two eps. and from there, I started looking at Eccleston's season (since I've already seen tennant and smith, I wanted to see another person's take).

I guess it's ideal for people who weren't fans of the classic to start with one of the episodes where the story isn't doctor-centric. I've seen some complaints about Love and Monsters but I think it would be a good jumping off point as well (barring the awkward monster costume). For people who just want something that's uplifting/depressing (depending on how they see the ep, especially the final parts), Vincent and the Doctor would also work.

Tennant's first two seasons are probably the best starting points for people like me, since it didn't rely so much on continuity and had a more Monster of the Week feel to them than Smith's and Eccleston's

I didn't know much about Doctor Who when I first started watching. I knew there were different actors who had played the Doctor. I thought that was like James Bond with different actors playing the same person over the years. I about pooped my pants in surprise when Ecelston regenerated! Regeneration is such a cool idea!

Lothar loves the idea that he could fuck each of the doctor's regeneration and it'd be like gayfucking 11 different men while being faithful to only one.

That was daunting to watch, but in a good way.

MY GOD his agent is good!

It's like Pro and Rob's sexual fantasies had sex with each other.

Regenertion is unique to Gallifreyan DNA. Does the T.A.R.D.I.S have Gallifreyan DNA? How does being a child of the T.A.R.D.I.S. give River the ability to regenerate?

From what I understand, the timelords evolved that way after being exposed to the time vortex for a very long time. Melody Pond was conceived inside the TARDIS, which is powered by a time vortex, and was kind of exposed to it during the fetal stage. Or maybe even while she was still just a semen.

I bet Lothar just glanced over everything I wrote above and focused on the last word, and then proceeded to wank until he blacks out.

I will not take that bet, sir! The odds are rigged against me!

Semen fluid alone does not make life. Her earliest existence would be as a fertilized egg.

Mmmmmm......fertilized egg....now there's something to wank over!

I'm just glad they didn't go the soap opera route and had a plot wherein Rory and the doctor got into a feud because he thought that the doctor and amy fucked, which led to melody being a timelady.

that kind of plot is reserved for torchwood.

Speaking of Torchwood, I downloaded Miracle Day expecting something that at least comes close to Children of Earth.

It was too American for my tastes. I stopped watching and deleted the videos as soon as I saw Jack's very graphic sex scene with a man (nasty missionary pumping scene that didn't add anything to the story).

I mean, how does that even work?

Lothar, based on your experience, can a man fuck another man in the ass while in the missionary position?

LOL! Yeah, been reading where RTD pushed the gay agenda on Torchwood to the max, making even the Brits uncomfortable. I imagine he won't be making any more, given the dismal performance of this one. And yes, waaay too Americanized. That's what they just don't get. If something is popular on BBCAmerica, it's popular because it's British television being broadcast on American airwaves. Re-making it more American just makes it like everything else out there, and thus, bland...

Back to Who. Want to see how big this thing is becoming under Smith and Moffat's era? http://teamcoco.com/photos/photoshop-contest-best-andy-through-time?photo=16297

One person can not fuck another person in the ass while in a common missionary position.

Sure they can.

a different muppet for every incarnation, but miss piggy plays several companions?

NICE! I was looking...

Please save me from the molesters
