The Dr Who thread

[Cloudane]

I'm just taking the piss. Really not fond of it though eh

[k345y]

Don't believe you. You're a gen up Whovian!

[Baggypants]

You lost me. I lost myself TBH but...c'mon man...a bit defensive or what?!

He's saying it's dead to you so fuck off and grieve. I'd rather not have a thread about a children's entertainment show devolve into unwanted buggery ta.

It was 1am after a beer festival, I barely even remember posting but wasn't intending to be nasty

Anyway, Doctor Who. Kingston just couldn't keep away eh, will be interesting to see how her reappearance is explained - though if it's anything like Missy, I imagine they'll run with "don't even try" :p

[Governmentyard]

Can't they just have River appear when the Tardis goes somewhere when she was still alive? We've seen her birth, death and bits inbetween. Surely we can have more bits inbetween.

Quite the caustic arsehole aren't you, and not the first time either.

I'll keep talking in this thread until I'm asked by an admin not to. I love Doctor Who and I don't see it as a child's TV show. It's a family show that always struck a great balance between kids, adults and teens. Until now that is. There's no rule saying I can't off load my disdain for the heap of shit that the last season was, it's till relevant to the thread title.
So you fuck off, prick.

You weren't and I wasn't intending to be horrible, half a litre of vodka and 3 Aspall ciders and I do tend to get a bit surly, a bit, not intentionally belligerent.

It's still a pile of excrement though Hoping the new season gets it's act together but I don;t hold much hope.

Best thing on British TV it is. Only thing worth watching. Literally as it’s the only thing I bother firing up iPlayer to watch regularly.

It’s not just me, the picky voters at the Hugo awards, the global ones for best SciFi anywhere, keep on voting it best TV program (technically “Best Dramatic Presentation Short Form”, but that just means TV as opposed to film). That’s best in the world, six times in ten years. It really is that good.

It is pretty much the show that great numbers of its loyal fans seem to hate
I think it's a geek thing as Star Trek was much the same and MLP suffers from it a bit too.

In this show anything is possible anyway, and anyone can come back, so yeah. I do remember a bunch of people saying "they'll never bring her back, they pretty much gave her an ending" etc, mind!

You see. Denial, anger and bargaining. The grieving process has begun.

Ned Stark: Great character, died. Fondly remembered.

River Song: Great character, not sure how I feel about her because it's harder to give a monkey's now. We know she won't die, we know she'll probably be back again. Whatever the contrivance to have her back, I hope it's cool. I don't object to cool stuff.

I really must concentrate, thought that said Ned Flanders for a second.

[pogo]

Short trailer for the first episode:

Oi. I'm 2 episodes into that. (Granted, it's the most spoiled event since the second Star Wars, but still)

But yeah, nature of sci-fi, no one 100% dies.

She could die. It’s unlikely but that’s what you can get away with in story with time travel in, rewriting history, even writing people out of history.

It’s enough though to have her back, with her unique relationship with the Doctor. She’s already seen him across two regenerations, so will be interesting to see the reaction to the new much older one.
