[TV] The Doctor's Back!!! (SPOILERS)

[Corki]

Yeap, Doctor Who is back on Saturday! The 3rd series starts on Saturday over here in the UK, and I am extremely excited! David Tennant is still the Time Lord, but he has a new assisstant, though her name escapes me at the moment. From the previews I've seen and reviews I've read, it looks like it's gonna be a cracking series!

[bad company]

I hate you, I so want to see the third season and the new assistant appeared near the end of the second season when the cyber men took control.

[Guest Emperor]

So, for those of us that maybe only watched the first season... what happened? Catch us up to season 3.

[bad company]

Head to the UK doctorwho site and it has all the eps.

Summaries or to watch online?

Basic plot points.

[The Outsider]

Martha Jones. The first ep. of the new season will be titled 'Smith & Jones', (in reference to the fact that sometimes in the old series The Doctor would use the alias "Dr. John Smith"...

In fact, for the Fantasy Baseball owners, your opponents for the most part that aren't here (except for one offline friend of mine) are from Outpost Gallifrey. :)

I thought The Bride wasn't the new companion?

[Niamh Sedai]

The Bride isn't the new companion. Catherine Tate just did the one off Christmas special.

 

The new assistant appeared as a very minor character is the second to last episode of the last series.

 

And I can't wait either! I doth love Doctor Who <3 I can't wait until Torchwood is on during the Autumn!

[Corki]

*scribbles the fact that Torchwood is back in the autumn in his diary*

 

Awesome!

[Niamh Sedai]

It's actually sad. I work on Saturday evenings and my family aren't allowed to watch Doctor Who until I get home ;)

[Niamh Sedai]

What did everyone think?

 

I was really worried that I wouldn't like the new companion but I was actually very impressed! I can't wait to see the next episode!

[Emillith]

I can't wait til we get it Stateside. *is so jealous*

[Niamh Sedai]

What channel do you guys get it on over there?

[Corki]

I've editted the title of the thread so people know spoilers are inside.

 

I thought Saturday's episode was excellent. Another good assistant. I thought it would be difficult to follow in Billie Piper's footsteps, but I can see the new actress making it her own role. There appears to be good chemistry bewteen her and David Tennant, which is good.

 

It's a shame the 45 minutes always flies by so fast! lol!

[bad company]

States will probably get it before aus gets it which will be a shame I want to see the new series.

 

Also I like the old series too with the 7th doctor Sylvester McKoy the best.

[Corki]

The reviews in The Times newspaper were good. It got 4 out of 5 stars, and a glowing report.

[bad company]

Why wouldn't it?

[Talya]

45 minutes of David Tennent...yep it was really good

[Corki]

What another fantastic episode on Saturday. And who thinks the new assisstant is a better actress than Billie Piper?

[Niamh Sedai]

I like them both equally at the moment. =)

 

And I really liked it. (I thought Shakespeare was HOT *g*) Weird, but cool! I can't wait for next week!

[Niamh Sedai]

So, what did people think of the Human Dalek storyline? Aside from the bad American accents, I thought it was quite good though I enjoyed the first episode more than the second.

 

My current sources of excitement though is that the Master is coming back (played by Life on Mars' John Simm) and that apparently the series finale will give us more information about The Time War, which should be cool. If I recall correctly, this is the last series they have they have permission to use the Daleks for so they are probably trying to use them as much as possible.

 

And Captain Jack! :D

[Tenshin_Xo]

Scifi airs it here but usually about 6 months behind Sky One(?). I cheat and download a torrent ripped by anonymous viewers in the UK.

[Lilliandra]

You thought Sylvester McCoy was the best Dr? Seriously?? :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

I am suddenly quite scared

[Niamh Sedai]

It's aired on BBC One over here Tenshin =)
