Doctor Who - Part 3

[RaZaTrOn]

whhhat?

BBC3 today said Doctor Who returns to our screens 3rd September after the re-run of A Good Man Goes to War!

Me and my friend were royally annoyed. I hope it was a mistake then on the announcers behalf because i thought he was back the 27th before i heard that.

 

[Manic]

Are the new episodes on BBC America going to be synced with the UK again?

Yeah, we have the same start date. I imagine we'll fall behind for Labor Day weekend, though.

whhhat?

Doesn't Doctor Who normally air on BBC1? Maybe September 3rd is when BBC3 will air the repeat.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

Usually BBC3 have it on the day after though.... I'm not sure. Either way i'm glad we get it this Saturday rather than next.

Thanks for the good news.

Hey, you know how there were rumors a while back that Doctor Who might have a reduced episode count next year?

http://www.digitalspy.com/british-t...is-not-being-cut-down-says-steven-moffat.html

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has denied that the show's episode count has been reduced.

Moffat told The Daily Beast that rumors of cuts to the sci-fi drama are "absolute nonsense".

"First of all, we are airing in 2012," he insisted. "The only thing that's happening is that we're moving a bit later. There's lots of reasons for that that will become clear quite soon."

The writer added that Doctor Who has "never been more successful" and now has a "huge" international profile.

"It is certainly not a reduced episode count," he reiterated. "Do you think the BBC would really let that happen? With an average audience of 10 million?"

He continued: "You're not going to reduce a show like this. The opposite is going to happen, in fact."

Moffat also promised that many of Doctor Who's lingering plot threads will be resolved by the end of the current series.

The show returns to BBC One this Saturday at 7.10pm and airs the same day at 9/8c on BBC America.

Hurrah! t:

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

So much for specials only next year. Now say what happens 2013!!!!

"First of all, we are airing in 2012," he insisted. "The only thing that's happening is that we're moving a bit later. There's lots of reasons for that that will become clear quite soon."

I'm thinking no Doctor Who in Spring 2012


So, the rumors of Fall 2012 for a half or full season may be confirmed. It could go like this



Season 7.1 - Sept/Oct 2012
Xmas 2012 - Xmas 2012
Season 7.2 - March/April 2013

He continued: "You're not going to reduce a show like this. The opposite is going to happen, in fact."

If they're going to increase things judging by Moffat's comment's


Season 8.1 - probably Sept/Oct 2013
50th Special (s) - Nov 2013
Xmas 2013 - Xmas 2013
Season 8.2 - March/Apr 2014

 

[Manic]

I hope it doesn't happen that way. One thing I've liked about Doctor Who is that its seasons usually air within a single year, rather than being spread across the Fall of one year and the Spring of the next.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Eh a two to three month gap like what we're in the middle of right now wouldn't be bad.

If they can do 7 episodes in the first half and 7 episodes in the last half that would be fantastic.

 

[chamber-music]

So Karen Gillan says they are doing a christmas special this year as well which they haven't filmed yet

 

[Manic]

It's still August. They have plenty of time to film it.

I hope it's another feel-good episode. I don't know what the hell was up with Russell T. Davies wanting to make his Christmas specials his darkest episodes (the Doctor commits genocide in two or three of them), but I dug how Moffat's was just a silly little Christmas tale. The Doctor met a Scrooge-like man, played with his timeline to make him a better person, and the episode ends with a warm old man and his love riding away on a sled pulled by a flying pet shark. I say give me more silliness like that for Christmas.

 

[chamber-music]

Because Russell T. Davies hates that which brings joy

j/k

 

[Manic]

"Christmas special? CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?! I'll give you little S.O.B's a Christmas special! How about 1/3 of the human race on the brink of suicide and the Doctor collapsing the British Golden Age?! Or how about the Doctor killing an entire race of sleeping aliens as he stares into the void?! Or an episode where every supporting character dies?! Or Victorian London gets destroyed?! Or the Doctor kills all the Time Lords again while the Master destroys the entire human race?! And then the Doctor can DIE! WHERE'S YOUR CHRISTMAS NOW?!!!"

 

[Doc Ock]

RTD liked cheese and death.

 

[regwec]

I would like a Christmas special that is historical without being set in Dickensian London.

How about setting around Christmas in the WWI trenches, when the British and the Germans made peace for a day and played football? Or during the English Civil War, when the Puritans tried to ban the feast of Christmas?

 

[Gold Samurai]

And thank goodness Moffat's Christmas special left modern London alone.


It was getting ridiculous to the point where London couldn't even feed itself without the doctor spoon feeding them.

Ofcourse in "Turn Left" we see a Doctor less world and we can't even take care of ourselves properly.


Moffat's Christmas special? London was likely spared and everyone was alright.



That's another thing that I noticed about RTD's episode.

"We need the doctor or we're screwed"

Whether it's Martha whining in 1913(We need the Doctaa...) or the whole London government on it's hand's and knees begging for him.

 

[regwec]

Yes, the 10th Doctor became a bit of a nuisance, thanks to RTD.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Welcome back everyone! Get ready for 6 brand new episodes starting later tonight on BBCA. For people in the U.K it's only a few hours away

In the desperate search for Melody Pond, the TARDIS crash lands in 1930s Berlin, bringing the Doctor face to face with the greatest war criminal in the Universe. And Hitler. The Doctor must teach his adversaries that time travel has responsibilities – and in so doing, learns a harsh lesson in the cruellest warfare of all.

 

[O'Haire]

So happy it's back today. The Space channel here in Canada is replaying the first half of series 6

 

[regwec]

Thought that was a bit crap. It isn't just that I find River Song irritating, it is that I find the whole endlessly recurring speculation on her and her relationship with everyone else really, really boring. I really do hope this is the last time we will see her- it seemed to me that her appearance in this episode was designed to be as crass and irritating as possible, just so she wouldn't be missed.

What happened to the whole Doctor in Nazi Germany thing? All a bit disappointing, really.

Quite fancied the pre-old jowly and ginger Mels, though.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

Awesome episode....

Spoiler

So does the Doctor have what's left of River's regenerations?

 

[chamber-music]

"Rory put Hitler in the cupboard"

good episode

spolier alert

Spoiler

Episode was basically River Songs origin.

Fun and Entertaining. The Doctor died instead of Rory for a change.

Loved The Doctors Scottish jokes and the holograms of the past modern era female companions. The effect for the 'Meet Dave' robot was cool.

 

[chamber-music]

Awesome episode....

Spoiler

So does the Doctor have what's left of River's regenerations?

I was thinking that

also explains why

Spoiler

River can't regnerate in the future

Was the hospital the one with the cat faced nurses from RTD era?
