Mea culpas

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

.. too... many... brownies?

 

 

inconceivable.

 

and really if all you'd seen were the slitheen ... well... they weren't very good monsters of the week

[Netbattler11]

They were not. As you said, they were essentially just walking flatulence jokes.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

there are some aliens that still scare me out of sleep tho.

[Ithillian Turambar]

Him also secret Acorn Elf thingy called Twigs.

 

Tree-Fu Go!

 

 

I remember scarves and spider webs and an assistant in a purply red outfit getting deaded and eaten.

 

In fact my very first ever conscious memory that I can remember iS a Dr Who one.

 

*sneaks about*

 

He was Hamlet too btw. Very versitile.

 

Is just me or are Billy Piper's teeth too big for her mouth?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

she has quite the mouth ;)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

is it just me or is Amy pond like Sarah Jane level mmmmmm?

[Ithillian Turambar]

Depends on the mmmmmmmm :)

 

Is it just me, or is Dr. Who the last proper Hero left?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's not just you

[Basel Gill]

Well, that depends, Ithi. What do you mean by a proper hero?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

what would you call a proper hero?

 

I hadn't really thought much on that.

 

*is a fan grrrl*

[Ithillian Turambar]

A proper Hero. Who has enough power to destroy suns and usually manages with a screwdriver. Who would give up the people and things he loved the most, because they needed to be left. Who was not afraid to cry when it hurt, and who hurt even when what he did was necessary. Can bring you to tears of joy and dispair in equal measure ... and within moments of each other. You love him because you know he will always save you, no matter what the cost to himself.

 

In the Doctor we Trust

[Basel Gill]

Oh wow. I finished the second season last night and that story blew me away.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I cried

[Basel Gill]

Now I'm trying to figure out how to factor in the spinoffs into my watching.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I'd go by release date... they sometimes have slightly overlapping story lines but...

 

hang in I'll google

[Basel Gill]

Well, I'm about evenly divided between RL chronological order based on when they aired, or getting fully caught up on the main show before I start Torchwood. I might skip the Sarah Jane show.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

some differing views

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Sarah Jane is a kids show... and I watched it and was sad when she died but it was a little dr degrassi

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

lol an epi by epi suggestion and fairly chronological tho... I like watching them in separate seasons, they're very different

So I watched the first few Torchwood episodes, an tonight I switched back to the main show. I just had to satisfy my curiosity regarding what was the deal with the woman in the wedding dress who appears out of nowhere.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Donna noble, the attempt to erase rose. she had some good episodes but.... well, you'll decide.

 

what do you think of torchwood?

[Basel Gill]

It's a bit odd seeing an adult show created as a spinoff of something meant to be family-friendly.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it was odder still watching it with the kids trying to figure out which episodes were ok for which, and when... but I realized they're all better than criminal minds and took their moms word it wouldn't hurt them.

 

except for Jacob wanting a great coat, it hasn't.

[Basel Gill]

Okay, so after having watched the very first Dalek story yesterday as my introduction to the original show, there's one question on my mind...

 

What idiot puts out the very beginning of a show on DVD and puts the first story on disc three?

 

I had Netflix send me disc one of the beginning box set spotlighting the First Doctor's earliest episodes. Disc one should be the pilot, right? No... disc one contains the SECOND story, which introduces the Daleks. Then disc two is the third story, and disc three is the story that the show premiered with. Now, I can understand the Daleks coming into it are hugely important, but can't the BBC count?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I think that might be a Netflix error... I have the box set with the unearthly child in its own case, unnumbered, and then the next to stories in another case makes discs one and two.

 

the box correctly identifies the order but I think maybe the pilot was released separately?

 

or maybe he fixed it in a later edition.

 

but... I thought the Dalek intro was very well written. I don't recall the pilot.
