Doctor Who

[lunatic59]

The new doctor has assembled herself a 21st century mod squad.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Hmm. Like that!
Hows she doing?

 

[psionandy]

She Rocks

 

[lunatic59]

A little hyper, but so far I'm liking her as the doctor.

One of my favourites, when the Doctor was endorsing Prime Computer.

How have I not been getting alerts for this thread...

I'm loving the different vibe, and hoping the writing continues to mature. If people stick around long enough.

Ugh, more reports of writer/show runner leaving, and Jodie following... :'(

Ugh, more reports of writer/show runner leaving, and Jodie following... :'(

Completely unsubstantiated rumour that received no coverage in any mainstream press or obvious show-specific fan sites. And denied by Jodie.

Probably brought some clicks for some site though.

Thought at least one of those reporting was reputable. Glad it wasn't. And yes, have since seen her talk about the next series, though that isn't coming until 2020 :'(

Sounds like the Doctor is still in the house.
I'm not going to binge watch.
Tonight at work I'll find out what's up with the latest season.

 

[psionandy]

Well.... just seen the last episode... and no spoilers... but I think the production team may be fans of Babylon 5

 

[Milo Willamson]

I am not an avid fan of the show either, just on and off differently, nothing too new or anything, last one was the "Spy Hard" parodies they tried to pull off.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Who is The Doctor?
Yes
The Doctor is Who?
Yes

So far I like this season a bit less, but still campy and fun

Receptionist hears my problems. PA takes my temp. Nurse takes my vitals...
Who's the Doctor who approves all this ?
Yes

I been in and out of this past few seasons, they keep running out of different times, I know I sound a bit peckish, but why they must overhall it duration on the weekends?

Fair, I dvr it so watch mid week whenever. I would like them to stop disappearing for over a year. They took 2019 completely off.

And I want the christmas special back!

New Doctor likes New Years..

 

[lunatic59]

This season is far too preachy for me. Maybe it's a Brexit backlash from the BBC, but how many times do we have to see a future Earth destroyed by man's shortsightedness, only to be saved by group hugs, Kumbaya and eating nothing but kale and quinoa by her own personal rainbow coalition?

Must everything be so damned apocalyptic? What the show needs is an infusion of Roddenberry-esque story lines.

I have an box set of where it was the Black Jacket doctor and Rose to get through.. What is the blokes name oh well.

Yea, which is something, but not the same as Christmas...

I feel ya, and I have nothing with shows sending a message, and being 'woke' or whatever the kids call it these days. But this season is going to extreme extremes. Feels a bit more piled on then previously. Of course, this is show runners second season, so maybe he's still figuring it out? Dunno

Umm.... Christopher Eccleston, season 1 right? (loved him in Gone in 60 Seconds)

Oh, I don't mind a message. Look at Star Trek TOS ... practically every episode dealt with social issues of the late '60s, but they pulled it off even with William Shatner.

I really like Jodi Whittaker as the Doctor. She's got the right blend of darkness and quirkiness (And she's cute, too). If I were to give the writers two pieces of advice it would be more adventure, less apocalypse, and stop whipping out the sonic screwdriver and waving it around like a can of Lysol in a men's locker room.

Yes. (I loved him in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existenz )

Oh he was in Gone in sixty seconds? I vaguley remember that movie.
