Sunday, July 10, 2011 by neone6 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just finished watching the whole series of Doctor Who (The latest) And it was a Brilliant Finale episode...
I´m writing this because I have a feeling there are quite alot of you skinners and other semi put together people that have seen it (old or new) And I really would like to hear what you think about the phenomenon that is "Doctor Who"
It almost calls for a blind ! Hmmm....
-This thread could also work as a get together reminiscing Good sci-fi ? .....Whatever, needed 2 Just say I LOVE The Doctor !! 
-Andrew/neone6

I started watching Doctor Who back in the 60's with William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, then Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. The latter 2 were my favourite Dr Who's of all time. I haven't watched it much of late, though I may tune into it more now I've been reminded of it again.

I haven't seen any Dr. Who since the Jon Pertwee days; I thought it was pretty hokey. However, I was a huge science fiction (books, mainly) fan. I still have a few hundred old books (quite a few Ace Doubles). My favourite authors are A.E. Van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Jack Williamson, Keith Laumer (hilarious; Retief, the galactic diplomat), and a few others. Has anybody heard of/read The Rose (?) by Charles Harness?

I tried watching it back in the Tom Baker days and thought it was pretty hokey, too -- my kid sister got me to watch the newer (2000's) version and it's not that hokey anymore. Especially this last doctor (who I wasn't real fond of at first, because I REALLY liked David Tennant), and this last season (since they've decided to retire the Daleks), as Andrew said (and as the Doctor would say) "BRILLIANT!"

Tennant kicked some ass ! But they were well casted all of the Doctors...Takes an episode or 2 but You get used to them quite quickly
-And those who say Sci-fi and humour don´t mix, I just say -Read The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas adams ! (rip) Unfathomably brilliant.

The book as they say was so much better than the movie. The only movie I know of that stayed true to the book was JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Freafin' awesome!

Didn't really see too many Dr. Who shows, but I'm hooked on Torchwood - was thrilled when the new season started!

... I have to go off and look for it.
You can get sound bytes of characters in Dr Who @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/sounds/index.shtml
Had a Cyberman saying "you will be deleted" every time there was a program error.

Nice beat!
Karen, you really need to check out a few episodes of Dr. Who, since Torchwood is a cross-over show. There were 11 episodes of Dr. Who that featured Capt. Jack Harness; The Empty Child (GREAT episode), The Doctor Dances, Boom Town, Bad Wolf, The Parting of the Ways, Utopia, The Sound of Drums, Last of the Time Lords, The Stolen Earth, Journey's End, and The End Of Time: Part 2.
I don't want to give anything away, but if you don't see those episodes, you don't fully understand Torchwood.

I've watched just about all the Dr Whos from the very beginning... then through many of them again with my son... Tom Baker was my early favourite... but David Tennant really blitzed the role...

Agree. I just got into Doctor Who with the new guy. Doubt I'll watch all the other seasons, but it's been fun, and I'm looking forward to the rest. More like science-fantasy.
Long live Forbidden Planet!!! And may they never remake it. I hated The Day the Earth Stood Still remake.
