The "New" Doctor Who

[union_jak]

here's what should have happened. :p

fVI-Q66vmCU
Thats exactly what I was thinking when I watched it. I thought to myself, surely if the planet moved at such a speed the people on the ground felt it, then won't there be tidal waves and earthquakes and mass destruction like nothing before!?

[Dope Nose]

so much better than seeing freema break the fourth wall!

Someone else mentioned this a couple of pages back but I think we were seeing her from the Doctor's point of view, since he was standing next to her.

[danb26]

I've held off for ages....but finally I break.

Sarah-Jane...orgasm...can I help?

;)

[JustABill]

Elizabeth Sladen so does not look 60. It's crazy.

[danb26]

I know! :whatever: haha :p

[Manic]

Ms. Sladen is pretty damn spry for her age. You don't expect to see a 60 year old woman leap to her feet and run across the room, but she did exactly that in "Stolen Earth."

[JustABill]

Haha. I love how long she held the hug with Jack too. Woman must be damn desperate for some action. That's why she was so surprised by Donna tossing her out of the way. Hehe. :p

[Logan's Lady]

How's my new avatar people? :) If it worked....?

EDIT: It's small and it doesn't moove :-( But it's a start! :grin:

I want to see the return of The Professor. If there is any Gallifreyan who would have managed to get through the Time Way unnoticed, then it's him.

I want to see more alien planets- not just as a backdrop for the plot to unfold before, but to be explored with a sense of wonder and adventure. I want to see an alien jungle, and for The Doctor and companion(s) to become prey to the local wildlife, before meeting the natives and solving all their troubles.

A continuous background narrative would be great, as well. Either the hunt for surviving Time Lords, or the need to repair rifts- caused by Caan's interference- on different worlds, would work well.

Finally, a companion who isn't a newbie to adventure, and who has an already developed (though possibly skewed) moral compass. The Unicorn would obviously be my choice, but you could have a Victorian street urchin or one of Robin Hood's Merry Men, if desired.

Yep. Potential as Alfred to The Doctor's Batman.

You know...it's true...we need to move away from Earth...MORE.

More Alien planets, much more fun and randomness....I guess we'll see what Moffat plans (reasonably) soon....I doubt he would have taken it on without a good sense of where he wants to go with it :)

[JustABill]

I think I read somewhere that Moffat thought what RTD with the show was great, and wants to keep it as close to that as possible, but still giving it his own little touches and feel.

[regwec]

He can't just budget a retread. It has to move on to new horizons, otherwise it will lose its audience. Me included.

[danb26]

I bloody hope he moves it on a little as well and I suppose the break will help to! I'm sure he'll be grand!

Double agree and after my last post!

[JustABill]

I doubt he'll lose audience if he keeps it like RTD...seriously, the ratings were always pretty solid with RTD and will stay solid no matter what Moffatt does.

[regwec]

No they won't. Critics love to build things up and then knock them down. The change in personel offers them the perfect opportunity.

[JustABill]

Yeah. They pretty much will. Moffat has written the best reviewed episodes of the series and if he keeps a similar feel with his own personal touches, the show will continue to do as well. He can't just come in and completely rehash the feel of the show to the point it's disjointed.

[TheCorpulent1]

No they won't. Critics love to build things up and then knock them down. The change in personel offers them the perfect opportunity.
Do critics really matter that much in the UK? 'Cause over here, they pretty much always praise the shows that wind up getting canceled after one or two seasons and often disparage the ones that find mass public appeal.

[regwec]

Yes and no. Critics probably don't effect the viewing figures for programmes that much, but they do effect the public acceptability of liking them. Doctor Who is currently managing an awkward balance of being slightly geeky but slightly cool. The wheels can't be allowed to fall off that.

[TheCorpulent1]

But presumably if the ratings are still high, the BBC will continue to fund it, right? It's viewership that makes them money, not critical praise?

[danb26]

No they won't. Critics love to build things up and then knock them down. The change in personel offers them the perfect opportunity.

Britain likes to do that, more than just the critics, the British resounding easily led, despite what we think....the more successful something gets...eventually there will be an anti-movement.

But presumably if the ratings are still high, the BBC will continue to fund it, right? It's viewership that makes them money, not critical praise?

And that's what worries me with Dr Who. Yes, the BBC will fund it...but to a deathly end with no originality and bled dry of fun.

Hopefully this big gap will only endevour to get it a fresh breathe of air...and even the possiblity of a new audience/time to work on stronger scripts and so on.

It's a beautiful thing, it should do well & I hope it does.

[danb26]

& are we seriously on page....571?! Yow...that's Timelord impressive ;)

The 15 to 16 year old girls and the people who put videos on youtube like "OMG1 David Tennant IZ Teh SEX" probably fainted when than saw that.

[04nbod]

I squealed:(

[vindrow]

Howdy all,


I for one am looking forward to Moffat's stint on Doctor Who, I liked the episodes that he wrote much more than the ones that RTD wrote. Don't get me wrong I still liked the epiisodes that RTD did for the most part, but I can't wait to see Moffat put his signature on this show. I give credit where credit is due, RTD was able to breath life back into DW and get it going and make it enjoyable again.

[Manic]

All I know is, I enjoyed both Coupling and Jekyll, and for entirely different reasons. Moffat has my support.

I have a feeling Moffat's season finales will have less explosions and not so overblown without a giant CGI army.

People say this was the best finale? well they haven't seen what Moffat can do.

A more intellectual finale

Although saying that, as much as I hate RTD's finales, he does have to write 5-6 episodes a season, as well as run the whole show from a producer and showrunner standpoint. Moffat usually only writes 1-2 episodes, so he has plenty of time to polish and properly think out the whole script. It will be interesting to see how his writing is affected by the pressures of running the whole ship.

[COMPO]

to be honest ive been recently watching the old Doctor Whos and I would love it if they went back to the old serial style of episodes. Also, I'd love for Galifrey to come back and the Master having something to do with it.

Well, he doesn't have to write many shows, to be honest. I'm sure he could divvy up his episodes among the other writers and they'd do fine with them. RTD probably just likes to write premiere and finale episodes because he's a big Doctor Who fan and it allows him to personally control the direction of each series a bit more.

[frayedenz]

As "Dark" as Moffat's episodes were I think he will take the whole series that direction. Which if he does that may give it a closer feel to the original and get it away from the Doctor trying to shag his assistants. That was nice that there was none of that this season, at least not with Donna. Of course then they just had to bring Rose back didn't they.

[JustABill]

And end the vagueness of their relationship with that awful kiss. Pissed me off that the fan girl interpitation won.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, come on, it's RTD. He'd have someone f*** the TARDIS if he could figure out the mechanics of it.

[JustABill]

I'm kinda surprised he hasn't already tried that with Jack. :rolleyes:

[The Englishman]

...like you're human
Oh that's disgusting

I love when Dr Mutt (my pet name for 1/2 and 1/2 doctor) said "Oh that's disgusting" Cracked me up :lmao:

[Manic]

I like to call him the DonnaDoctor.

[TheCorpulent1]

I just call him human-Doctor.

[Manic]

But he's only part human. Just because he had one hear--


[sexually implicit sidetrack]
I wonder why nobody put their hand on Donna's chest... to see if she grew a second heart, of course.
[/sexually implicit sidetrack]


Uh... yeah. He's still part Time Lord.

[Captain_BluTac]

I keep changing what I call him so far there has been Doctor 10.1, Naked Doctor, Angry Doctor, Roses Doctor, The Donna Doctor or The Self Loathing Doctor.

[Manic]

Isn't the Self Loathing Doctor the 9th Doctor? Or was he just the Loathing Doctor?

[Captain_BluTac]

Isn't the Self Loathing Doctor the 9th Doctor? Or was he just the Loathing Doctor?

No the ninth Doctor was "The Ugly, Northern, Self loathing Doctor":o

Fine, then let's call him Dr. Prius.

[Manic]

Fine, then let's call him Dr. Prius.
Because he's a Hybrid, but you'll hardly be using his gas-saving features at all, since they only work when you're doing below 30mph?



Okay, complete metaphor misfire on my part.

[COMPO]

I wonder who the next villian will be for season 5.

Omega?

Santarons (as major finale villain)?

The Master?

Autons?

[the_ultimate_evil]

surprised bbc is repeating the finales first part so quickly its on again tomorrow

i'm willing to do that...dirty job but someone has to...

[regwec]

The finale villains should be the Time Lords. On the advent of their reformation, their high council should proclaim a Time-Crusade to prevent anything like the Time War ever happening again. The Doctor should have to stall their purges, firstly through sabotage but finally through rhetoric.

[COMPO]

Yeah I like the Time Lords being the villians but, imagine if they tried The Doctor because of what he did during the Time War making the Doctor have to face his past for the first time.

[Lord Valumart]

Yeah I like the Time Lords being the villians but, imagine if they tried The Doctor because of what he did during the Time War making the Doctor have to face his past for the first time.

a trial?

a trial of the dr by his fellow time lords?

a trial of a time lord...hmm...interesting thought...

[COMPO]

i know there was an episode called Trial of teh Time Lords in the old series but, imagine it he's put on trial for Genicide and we actually see the Doctor helpless and unwilling to fight because deep down he believes he deserves this.

[Lord Valumart]

yeh...but you've got to understand that most fans would be unwilling to have that since for a large number of them the very mention would have them cowering in fear screaming "NO!!!!NO!!!!!!!!NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!HE PUTS THE 'FAT' IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!" and rocking back and forth...

but yeh...it might be a good idea...:huh:

[COMPO]

what's the Vaylyard? A time lord? Like the Master? or Omega?

[Lord Valumart]

what's the Vaylyard? A time lord? Like the Master? or Omega?

it's a future possible version onthe dr that happens somewhere between his 12th and 13th regeneration...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeyard

i spelled it wrong but i blame the tiredness and my general dislike for the 14 part subpar epic...

[COMPO]

Oh right cool. I've never really watched Doctor Who after Peter Davison can't stand Colin Baker. lol But he seems liek a good villian. To be honest though if they were to have the Doctor one trial and do that story line i'd rather have it be David that did it before he left because he's kind of set up the whole lonely doctor thing still scared from the time war more than Eccelston.

[The Squirrel]

I wonder who the next villian will be for season 5.

Omega?

Santarons (as major finale villain)?

The Master?

Autons?

They could use Omega to resurrect the Time Lords.

[Manic]

Even before the Valeyard put the Doctor on trial, hasn't the 2nd Doctor already been put on trial just for helping people?

[COMPO]

Yeah he was but, I'm talking about his own people putting him on trial for what he did during the Time War.

[SpideyLad]

I wonder who the next villian will be for season 5.

Omega?

Santarons (as major finale villain)?

The Master?

Autons?

Either the Zygon's or Silurian's.:cmad:

[Lord Valumart]

Either the Zygon's or Silurian's.:cmad:

with the zygon's being pretty much dead(it's never stoped them bring monsters back before) i'd love one of the specials to deal with the silurians and sea devils...just imagine an army of sea devils climbing out of some famous mass of water...like the dr relaxing on brighton beach in the 50's or something then they just walk out...

[COMPO]

Awww the Silurians was the first doctor who episode i ever saw lol but with the new guys they seem to use old iconic villians lol id love for them to bring the Slitheen back or an old villian from the new series.

[SpideyLad]

Awww the Silurians was the first doctor who episode i ever saw lol but with the new guys they seem to use old iconic villians lol id love for them to bring the Slitheen back or an old villian from the new series.

The Slitheen should NEVER come back.

[COMPO]

Well i was gonna say Cassandra but she can't come back cos she died and her story is kind of done. What about the villians from school reunion i liked them?

[SpideyLad]

Well i was gonna say Cassandra but she can't come back cos she died and her story is kind of done. What about the villians from school reunion i liked them?

Probably the only new villains that should come back. :up:

[COMPO]

You know cos they brought Sarah Jane back do you think tehy could bring Romana back or someone else like Leela or Liz shaw? Or what about his Granddaughter I mean she couldnt have been involved in the Time War she didnt have a TARDIS to travel to Galifrey.

[Lord Valumart]

well leela was on galifrey so she woud have been killed...depending on what you take as canon romana was president of galifrey and was probably killed...

then if you take the companions who aren't dead in real life...the only ones really worthy of a come back would be SJS and Jo...:huh:

[COMPO]

oh right, well couldn't the Time Lords have ran away I mean some of them must have or they could have done a Superman thing sending children off into TARDIS'.

[Lord Valumart]

well the dr said he'd know if other time lords were alive...and the master was human thus he didn;t know about him and even when he was on earth the master was using that archangel thing to mask his presence...

so...yeh, if there were more timelords the dr would know

[COMPO]

oh right but didnt the Doctor say he'd go back for his Granddaughter one day I mean was it even established that she was Time Lord, she could have been half or a quarter which could have made her psychic connection weaker and hard to focus and wasn't Romana in E-Space a parrellel universe so she wouldn't have been effected by the Time War plus, K9 would b back.

[Lord Valumart]

i beleive his words were "one day i shall come back...yes one day i shall come back...until then blah de blah de blah..." it just trails off into make "me proud damnit!" basicly... and i think the five doctors kinda delt with her meeting the dr again...and her usefulness of being able to spot the tardis in a wide open feild...

and in the audios and books she got out of E-space and was president of Galifrey...take what you want as canon...either way she won;t be back...

[COMPO]

oh right so what new villian from the new series would you want back I mean, some of them could come back I mean the Family of Blood don't think so... but they probably could bring them back, but for the old series is there any villains from the first or second dcotor you want back?

[SpideyLad]

oh right so what new villian from the new series would you want back I mean, some of them could come back I mean the Family of Blood don't think so... but they probably could bring them back, but for the old series is there any villains from the first or second dcotor you want back?

Well, our Universe Cybermen are a must. I wouldn't mind seeing the Yeti again...

[Lord Valumart]

some pointlessley CGI's yeti are a must...

and Finch damnit!!:cmad:

[COMPO]

yeah i want Anthony Head back lol. What about the Axons? or the Gelf? Or the three witches?

[SpideyLad]

yeah i want Anthony Head back lol. What about the Axons? or the Gelf? Or the three witches?

We should have had the Axon's on The Voyage Of The Damned, but no, we got crappy rip offs....:cmad:

[SpideyLad]

what about the Sycorax? Or those Rhino guys?

Sycorax should be back. LV and I discussed this the other day...

Judoon have been back I suppose, but in a minor role. They're very one sided characters.

[union_jak]

well leela was on galifrey so she woud have been killed...depending on what you take as canon romana was president of galifrey and was probably killed...

Was Ace on Galifrey at the time of the destruction? How did the original Who fans feel when they first heard about it being wiped out? Does it feel like this version lacks something now?

[SpideyLad]

Watch it....


and yeh...he teeth got bigger every time she was on screen..it should have been tates clothing that got less!!

She spoke like she was having a stroke in Series 4.

[Lord Valumart]

taht was abd episode but, did set up a lot like the Rift for Torchwood.

yeh...but at that point torchwood was just the code for transporting dr who masters...

i'm sure that when people say things like "oh russel takes these things that happend ages ago and masterfully crafts them into something thats needed and important in this series" they're really thinking that he just sticks pins in random epsiodes and picsk crap from them to bring forward...cause thats what i think anyhow...

[COMPO]

To be honest I liked the episodes when there was another Time Lord or when The Doctor went to Galifrey but I like taht now he is more of a mystery. I wonder why the Doctor is Queen Elizabeth's Arch Enemy?

[Lord Valumart]

Was Ace on Galifrey at the time of the destruction? How did the original Who fans feel when they first heard about it being wiped out? Does it feel like this version lacks something now?
ace wasn;t there...atleast i don;t think...

and it was kinda annoying but then you just knew that master would be back at some point anyhow so it was all good until he actually came back...
Watch it....

She spoke like she was having a stroke in Series 4.

no, and yes...

[SpideyLad]

Was Ace on Galifrey at the time of the destruction? How did the original Who fans feel when they first heard about it being wiped out? Does it feel like this version lacks something now?

It was never mentioned as far as I'm aware.

At the moment, I don't really mind the lack of Gallifrey. I think it works well for The Doctor, being as he has pretty nothing left, yet keeps fighting.

Although, having said that, it is annoying that we can't run into Romana and stuff now, and the Doctor constantly saying "I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

yeh...but at that point torchwood was just the code for transporting dr who masters...

yeah it is kind of annoying we'll never get to see them again. And yes I hate Billie Piper's smile.

[SpideyLad]

it had been slowly dying a death since the end of peter davisons era...then it went on a little break between colin bakers 2 series...then just as it was becoming good and watchable again the bcc cancelled to cause it wasn;t getting the viewing figures it once had, it was to expencive to produce, it was pretty much a joke...

colin baker was a terrible, terrible, terrible dr...but mccoy made up for it with his last two series....survival and curse of fenric are possibly the best eps from the later eras...

[TheCorpulent1]

McCoy seemed like a cool Doctor based on what little I saw of him in the TV movie. Netflix doesn't have much from him, but I'm sure I'll watch it eventually.

[chamber-music]

so why did Doctor Who end in teh first place ayway? Was no one wacthing it or did they just not like McCoy as teh Doctor?

it had been slowly dying a death since the end of peter davisons era...then it went on a little break between colin bakers 2 series...then just as it was becoming good and watchable again the bcc cancelled to cause it wasn;t getting the viewing figures it once had, it was to expencive to produce, it was pretty much a joke...

but the last series changed all that but it was to little to late...:csad:

Also Micheal Grade who was Controller of The BBC didn't like Doctor Who. In recent years, Grade has, on a number of occasions, claimed that he postponed Doctor Who for 18 months during the mid 80s out of personal dislike.

I just found a fan edit of the Bad Wol Bay scene from Journey's End, which I think is much better.:o

It seemed like the same ending, only without the Donna leaving bits.

[The Englishman]

I want The Master back and i want John Simm to return to play him.....

I want the Master back, but I don't see how Simm would be able to come back. He doesn't have a magic hand or anything. :(

It was almost the same........ they moved the Blue Suit talk till after the kissing part.... and then no Donna leaving scene.... which makes no sense the Brown suit in the TARDIS alone. But, it's a nice little ending.

[Manic]

Well i was gonna say Cassandra but she can't come back cos she died and her story is kind of done.
They could bring her back by saying her mind jumped from Chip into her original body when she "died." But then that'd kill what little growth she had in "New Earth."

The kiss is the part that really needs to go, though. The scene would've been so much better if they'd just let the hybrid Doctor stay with Rose and left what they'd do to the viewer's imagination instead of beating us over the head with the fact that they're gonna be boning like rabbits.

[COMPO]

well what if teh Master came back but he was possessing Lucy or was body swapping I mean he's done it before why can't he do it again.

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be interesting. I'd love to see him come back and laugh at the Doctor for thinking he'd actually kill himself.

[COMPO]

imagine if when Tennant was about to leave they had John Simm as the Doctor like the Master switched bodies with the Master and the master stealing the Tardis and the Doctor being trapped on Earth for a season while he tries to build a Time Jumper to find the Master.

[Lord Valumart]

sooner or later we're gonna ban you from going back more than 5 pages...

it's been suggested many a time...well...probably three times now:huh:

[COMPO]

well i didnt know did i haven't been on in ages.

[union_jak]

When the tardis was burning and Donna reached out to the spare hand I noticed her ring and the moment she began to affect and the new body formed it I thought she was passing the Master's energy onto it. I expected him to become the Doctor's saviour and then it'd give John Simm another chance to return in the future etc.

Obviously the ring turned out to be a different one from the one with the Master's essence/energy, but for a brief second I expected that story to wrap up as well.

[Manic]

Clearly a different ring, but I expected it to have some significance. It's a pretty damn big ring, and they kept showing Tate's hand. Even after the Doctor wiped her memory and she was asleep in bed, you can see that big ass ring on her hand.

[COMPO]

would be cool if the Master was in teh ring though and kills Donna.

[Lord Valumart]

well lets be honest...it is kinda hard to miss it...it's the size of belgium...

[union_jak]

My memory isn't that great to remember a ring from last year so I'm sure you'll appreciate the 'in the moment' feeling I had. Both were chunky things and they kept focusing on Donna's :D

[Lord Valumart]

i'm honestly wondering why there's never been a proper master/davros team up...:huh:

imaine it...the same series finale but with simm slinking on to the screen behind davros at some point during the stolen earth and having that as the cliff hanger rather than the false regeneration....

[Manic]

My memory isn't that great to remember a ring from last year so I'm sure you'll appreciate the 'in the moment' feeling I had. Both were chunky things and they kept focusing on Donna's :D
The Master's ring was kinda plain, with a design that had a bunch of circles. It's the same design used by Richard Lazarus' company, and on John Smith & Professor Yana's pocket watches.

That would be so cool. But imagine if at the other episode The master took control of Davros and the Daleks and teh Earth so he had control of the 'supreme beings' and human beings.

The Master's ring was kinda plain, with a design that had a bunch of circles. It's the same design used by Richard Lazarus' company, and on John Smith & Professor Yana's pocket watches.

Could have been part of Lazarus experiments attached with Time Lord technology.

[Manic]

Well, the Lazarus experiment itself was basically Time Lord technology. It was a regeneration machine, Lazarus mentioned Mr. Saxon, and the Master basically admitted to being behind it.

[union_jak]

Just saw a Sontaron in the new trailer for the Sarah Jane Adventures.

[COMPO]

god can't she get villians of her own. First she takest he Slitheen now she takes Sontarons whats next?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, at least Torchwood tends to have its own villains.

[ttotheusher]

What kind of guest stars do you guys want to see in future episodes? I remember hearing a rumour that David Bowie was gonna cameo in Series 3.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hopefully fewer like that dude with the cat in the finale. God, I hated that guy.

[ttotheusher]

Guy with cat?

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess he's a big British TV personality? He showed up talking about how the Earth had moved and he was really, really annoying.

[ttotheusher]

Oh, that was Paul O' Grady, and your right, his cameo was crap. The reason I was getting confused was because that was a dog, not a cat. :oldrazz:

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, whoops.

[COMPO]

bloody hell you don't know Buster lol

[Magneto29]

I read an article that David Bowie was supposed to be in season 4. They even said that it was going to be in a two-part episode. Guess not...

[Manic]

Bowie in space?

Does he have just one funky sequinze space suit, or does he have several ch-ch-changes?

[COMPO]

we'll be hooked to silver screen if Bowies on Doctor Who lol
Life on Mars ;) that what they'll call it.

[ttotheusher]

Does the cold of deep space make his nipples go pointy?

Does he you use his frozen pointy nipples to transmit data back to Earth?

[ttotheusher]

Has anyone got the soundtrack CD's? Are they worth buying?

[JustABill]

I'd buy them for Rose, Donna, Martha, and the "Doomsday" themes alone. If their is one thing they got right with all three companions was they all had excellent themes.

[TheCorpulent1]

Preview of the Doctor Who: The Forgotten mini-series (http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080714-DrWhoForgotten.html)

I'm totally getting this. My problem with the main series was Nick Roche's art, whcih I don't like very much, but this mini is being drawn by Pia Guerra of Y: The Last Man fame, who is awesome. Also, the last page of that preview is enough to make me cream my jeans. :up:

That art at the top is, as a certain Doctor used to say, "Fantastic".

yeh, everyone says he's crap cause the movie was crap, but they don;t say tennant's crap when more than 1/3rd of his eps have been crap...

if you've read the comics or heard any of the audios then you know he's up there:up:

[JustABill]

Of the old Doctors I like Pertwee, Baker, and Davison most. McCoy and McGann didn't seem too bad, McGann was better towards the end of his movie than he was at the beginning. He probably would have been much better had the story of the movie not sucked so much.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I liked the library feel of it too. Perfect for McCoy's Doctor (based on what little I know of him).

[COMPO]

hahah I doubt Peter Davison would pay his bills I mean Tom Baker must have some money from Doctor Who and Little Britian and other acting jobs. I always thought it would be cool if in the Tardis with the room of clothes theres like a a bit were portraits of past Doctors are on the wall and the Doctor commenting on them like a joke.

Kind of funny with The Doctor that in his first incarnation he's like a grandfather and lived for a long time yet, with his others he doesn't really last long except Tom Baker who had a long run. lol

[union_jak]

Isn't there a large wardrobe on a different floor of this current tardis appearance? I swear I saw a scene with Rose or someone sorting through clothes.

it was the Doctor in the Christmas Invasion when he was looking for his new outfit and to be honest I want to see more of the TARDIS' other rooms because in Castrovalva you saw loads of rooms, okay he didn't go in them but you got the feel that it was a large place.

Do we know that Hartnell was actually the very first Doctor, though? Maybe he'd already gone through a regeneration or two before we ever even saw him in the show.

[Lord Valumart]

well it's been comented on many times that he IS the first...and the bcc have him as the first...and there would have been more drs in the three doctors and the five doctors if he wasn;t first...:huh:

[COMPO]

plus even when he met the fifth doctor he asked what number he was, but the first Doctor might not have been long out of Galifrey or he might not have been doing anything dangerous up until then. well not too dangerous ;)

[ttotheusher]

I think its been retconned that he IS the First Doctor.

[TheCorpulent1]

Wait, what? :huh:

[COMPO]

i wonder oncet hey get to the thirteenth Doctor will he look like the Master did or will he just look normal and will he just be normal for a few series with the actual threat that he could be killed without regeneration-that would make it more thrilling that this is a Doctor taht can be killed.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, until the actor leaves and then the characters gets killed, regenerates, and is like, "Oh, guess I didn't have to worry after all!"

[COMPO]

yeha they'll find a way around it when the actor wants to leave but that would be good if there was a Doctor who now had the threat of death over his shoulders.

[ttotheusher]

Wait, what? :huh:

I meant, at first it was suggested that Hartnell's Doctor was in fact not the first incarnation of the Doctor, however, in later stories, it was confirmed he was infact the first.

[Captain_BluTac]

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I think when it gets to the 13th Doctor, they will say the 13 regenerations was a limit which was imposed by the Timelords themselves and with them gone no more limit and it could also be used as an explanation of how they allowed the Master to have a new cycle.

well, we know that time lords only last to thirteen and from the master we also know that you can stop your self from regenerating so maybe its a matter of wanting to regenerate that counts. Maybe, the Doctor could regenerate past 13 because he wants to.

if a race of beings has the ability to regenerate then it would stand to reason that there would be no natural limit to how often they can do that...

thus logically the 13 was imposed by the timelords and can thusly be forgotten about...i think...

Whether he's playing the Doctor as everyone wants, the Master as he himself suggested, or something else... we'll have to wait and see.

Even if he doesn't play The Doctor, it will still be cool to have him guest star in a episode as an alien or some evil human.

they should have Tennant interact with old fourth Doctor footage and have Baker provide new dialogue.

I guess I should clarify Spectre's post, since everyone here might not be familiar with Lying in the Gutters. LITG is a rumor column. Just because they say something, doesn't mean it's written in stone. I'd love to see Tom Baker back as much as the next guy, but as LITG have been wrong plenty of times before, I'll take the rumor of his participation with a grain of salt until I actually see set pictures or a BBC press release or, you know, the series he's said to appear in is less than two whole years away.

Meanwhile, I'll be watching the old fourth Doctor serials on Netflix. I could kiss whoever invented the Watch Instantly feature. :D

I've also been told about an actor who'll be appearing some point in "Doctor Who" that year.

Tom Baker.

yes...well this can only end in tears...

he's to famous for playing the 4th dr to play anything else and he's to old and fat and hairless and half dead to play the 4th dr again...

either way fan boys, and yes i calss myself as one of these people i'm about to ***** about, will be pissed off either way cause there's WAY to much to go wrong with this...so very much to go wrong...

bring back mcgann dangnambit!!!:cmad::cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

He looks different enough from how he did as the Doctor that he could easily just play some random other role. Or I could be down with him playing the Master. Maybe the Master got a regeneration cycle like Romana's, where he could choose his new form, and decided to make himself look like one of the Doctor's incarnations, only that was a long time ago and now the body is looking rather worse for wear.

[Lord Valumart]

no...fanboys ***** and disagree with logic and reason...he's the 4th dr and nothing else...if they can't make him look EXACTLY like he did during one time of his era or another then he shouldn;t play the dr again...:cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, I guess if they give him a wig and throw the scarf on him, he might not look too bad. Davison came back packing like 20 more pounds and half as much hair, and we all ate it up.

[Lord Valumart]

thats casue davison hasn't changed in a massive way...

he still looks like the dr we all knew him as only with a thicker neck...

[TheCorpulent1]

With a wig to substitute for his crazy hair and the scarf wrapped around his neck fat, I think Tom Baker would look enough like his old self to appease fanboys. He's a bit wrinklier, but his face is mostly the same. Plus, nostalgia counts for a lot.

thats true, he did still look like the doctor i grew up watching. his hair was the same colour his face, although slighter larger, still looked the same. look at the pic of baker he is fatter, hell of a lot fatter, his hair is grey and from the sounds of things, and what people have said, he is a bit of a **** really.

[Lord Valumart]

nostalgia is a powerful thing...

BRING ON THE WIG!!!

baker is a pompous arse i;ve heard...

he can either be very nice or very mean...

davison is apparently nothing but nice...so is colin baker who's apparently the nicest dr, apart from pertwee who was fantastic when he was alive...and mccoy and mcgann i've not heard about...

[The Squirrel]

Just have him play someone else. It would be cool just to have him on the show itself.

[TheCorpulent1]

McCoy seems like he'd be a nice guy.

im trying to post a pic and cant, why??? how do i do it?? it is a pic i have done.

[regwec]

Upload it to photobucket, image shack etc, then post the URL inside [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] tags (without the spaces).

[Lord Valumart]

McCoy seems like he'd be a nice guy.

he always seams nice during interviews and smilies for photos and looks back with fond memories...never actually heard anything bad about him...:huh:

[regwec]

I heard her likes to expose himself to the elderly and infirm. :(

is that true........no wonder he always wore a long coat.

[Lord Valumart]

no, no...mccoy...not barrowman...:whatever:

[TheCorpulent1]

All the Doctors seem to love coats. Odd that that should be up there with a general desire to right wrongs as one of the big traits that even regeneration doesn't change.

not all...

1st didn;t have a long one, neither did 2nd, 3rd had a cape, 6th had the duffle coat once...9th's wasn;t that long...

[IronLion]

uh? im confused, is it mcoy thats the perv who is a flasher or is it the confirmation that barrowman is?

about the coats, ecllestone wasnt that long, as far as i remeber....or is my memory that bad?

[JustABill]

Corp was saying they love coats in general. Not long coats.

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't say anything about length. They almost all have coats, though. Even the third often had a coat under that cape.
