This thread is dedicated to the wonderful world of the weary lonely traveler: The Doctor
For nigh on 4 decades now this show has been running in one form or another and I have JUST really gotten into it.
I watched the old Tom Baker Whos on PBS Saturday night
seen here with Leela
But now the absolutely WONDERFUL David Tennant has taken the role of the Doctor, Last of the Time Lords
The show is just so bleedin' good. I miss having well-written smart science fiction on American TV.
Plus, who wouldn't want a TARDIS?

Tennant is so good. Seriously, if you can watch "High School Reunion" right now.
SARA JANE!
ANTHONY STEWART HEAD! BEING EVIL!
It is a really great episode. The second season (Tennant's first) really plays up the Rose-Doctor "relationship"

Eccleston was great, but Tennant I like better. Dunno why, just do.
It is moot though. Baker is God.

1963-1989, but did not come back until 2005.

PS: RTD really, really, needs to stop fucking writing episodes.
all signs point to yes
Fuck you
C) Ghostlight anyone?
Seriously, Fuck Catherine Tate. Fuck her right in her stupid ugly face.
like post-2005 doctor who
i mean i love it to pieces, but BSG is just better, i can't deny it
Okay.
I think bongi also dislikes anything that is so..well...British.
BSG is back now?

BSG is fantastic but its on such a different level.
Dr. Who just has cooler stories. Its reminiscent of the X-Files in a way. You would have episodes that would lend themselves to the giant arch of the entire series, but then there would be stand-alone episodes that were just as good and in some ways much better then the overall arch stories.
Plus, Who just seems to have a much lighter tone than BSG - for obvious reasons and that is slightly refreshing to me. I am growing tired of things needing to be "gritty" to be considered good.
When you consider that Who was geared toward children more than BSG it really hits you.
Also, Calli- RTD can write as many episodes as he wants. He brought the show back and has done a pretty damn good job - BTW, I don't know i you have heard being out on the west coast and all interesting notes:
I teach in the city now, my kids are fantastic and Baltimore has seen a 50%, yes fifty, reduction in homicide this year so far.
Did you take all the violence with you?

t42: yeah but you also get some pretty fucking terrible television (daleks in manhattan)
DW is way more of a crap shoot
it's just russel t davis is a very special kind of writer
the downer kind
or maybe she will have a backbone
That is what you get with multiple writers and episodic stuff. Each season of BSG is pretty much a movie that is broken up into episodes.
"Tooth and Claw," "High School Reunion" are my favorite episodes in season 2.

honestly i'd kind of like a doctor who that is less campy, with fewer one-off episodes
human nature was great because it pretty much ditched all that stupid campy 'action' and just made it into a good old-fashioned character drama with aliens
she was just a mopey lovestruck twat
whereas, ironically, in torchwood she's actually almost competent
which is funny considering how diabolically fucking awful everything else about torchwood is bar that one episode about welsh cannibals
tink o' te children, etc
And yeah, Daleks in Manhattan...
The accents.
THE ACCENTS
like in 'dalek'
ah well
this old, large man who constantly used this arc welder met me outside an elevator
"Sometimes I wish we could just lift all this stuff up with a tardis. It'd come in handy."
"Yeah" i said
"Look at you. You don't even know what a tardis is."
"No, I don't."
