The Dr Who thread

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Ah whilst we're about it - If it's THAT simple to "splice/inject/whatever" timelord DNA into a bunch of subjects, then why hasn't the doctor recruited a shitload of volunteers (rather than abducting them like the Daleks did) and created Nu-Galifrey?

Eh?

The companions go with him of their own free will.

The Doctor may know how to do it, but he's not the sort of person to do it, as that'd be wrong.

I'm not talking about his companions..

.....how come when the Daleks were flying about shooting into the ground, the ground was exploding, yet when they hit a human they just glow?

Because it looks good.

Anyway if it was really consistent with the
explosions, then they would have had
exploding humans with blood, guts and limbs
flying all over the place.Not really
"family entertainment".If everything just
glowed when shot it would look a bit boring.

It's 'my opinion' that Dr Who is passed it's sell by date really. The new series
doesn't and can't stand up to too much scrutiny, so just allow yourselves to let it wash over you as the light entertainment it's intended to be. Tennant is certainly over-egging the role of the doctor- Tom Baker is an eccentric by nature - it doesn't really work as a character mechanism, certainly when it's so obviously forced by 3rd rate acting abilities.

The new Dr Who is officially, very 'meh'.. and shit. My opinion. I know some people like it.

I think that MOST of it is pretty 'meh' (hence I haven't been inclined to buy any new series 1 or 2 DVDs, although one or two series 1 and 2 episodes have tempted me). However up until Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks I've been thoroughly enjoying series 3. Just goes to show that you can't please all the people all the time, etc.

Soz, it was the bit about him abducting volunteers that I took to mean the companions.

Maybe he has been doing it, but subtly and slowly.

Pop people out of history, give them a whip around the timeline, fiddle with their dna and plop them back.

loves it doesnt he?

You know, when I was a kid the first dalek I saw had large headlamps. More modern episodes had them as a flatter-profiled lamps that glowed in time to their speech, with the appearance of their casing looking much more sleek and darker - an overall more frightening look.

Now?


I can't help thinking of twatty little pigtails that desperate women adopt in the belief they'll be mistaken for a cutsy schoolgirl.

I wasn't too sure about the old-style lights either when I first saw the new design, but now I love it and feel it integrates very well with the new Daleks (which I love - some excellent design there while still keeping it looking very much like a Dalek shell).

That's okay, I found it somewhere anyhow (I forget where though).
