There have been many versions of The Doctor, the current incarnation is the 11th.
What does this Doctor like I hear you ask?
Hats!
Archaeologists!
Jammie Dodgers!
But all of this is irrelevant because the show is really about the magnificent Rory Pond Williams*

Presence of Rory Williams is not guaranteed.
The New series, featuring a new companion has begun!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRQu3MvRySAWith a new series comes new spoilers. Please tag everything from series 7 as we all watch this at different times, even if it is the same day. Hurrah for time zones.
Spoiler tagging previous series is also appreciated as Who gains new viewers every day through the power of Netflix and re-runs. Failure to tag spoilers appropriately will result in the summoning of River Song.

Good jumping on points are the starts of Series, 1, 2 and 5 of the New run, each of these has a change in flavour, so if you didn't like Tennant, try Smith, he's new and improved! If you don't mind about continuity (You really should), you can jump right in at the start of this series, but I really cannot recommend enough that you start from at least series 5. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

That Xmas Special trailer. Man. Narnia and Bill Bailey. Sold already.
but
Fezzes are cool.
SteamID: Baroque And Roll
I trucked through the most recent Doctor in a few days and having to wait for more is intolerable.
I was a bit put-off by Rory at first, but now I adore him. He is the greatest. I would much enjoy a Last Centurion spinoff that chronicles what he was up to before the universe reset.
For like 30seconds until he breaks the game, pisses off all the players and declares himself champion and retiring.
As soon as the first shot of the youngest kid in the snowy forest hit the screen it was all eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 8 years old and watching the BBC LtW&W adaption all over again.
There is no way I am going to be able to take Bill Bailey seriously though, unless he is playing Bill Bailey or Manny in space.
"The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" Heh.
OP needs those
so i can watch them
But yeah, I need to see parts 1 and 2 as well.
Right here
That was... not very good
Five.
Bad Night, Good Night, First Night and Last Night are together on the same disc and are all set in the TARDIS.
Up All Night is on a different disc and features Craig, Stormageddon et al. I'm guessing was meant to be the prequel for Closing Time.
It was terrible. The "evil island" thing was so shoehorned in and didn't make any sense, ugh.
That said, I do hope they make a Silver Chair movie.
Part of it might have been that the Dawn Treader book is where I mostly got tired of the Christian allegory and kinda lost interest in the series as a whole, and as such it's as far as I've read
I looked up a plot summary for The Last Battle last night and honestly just sat there going "really?" for a few minutes
Done.
Additional Doctor Who related ass below:
+1 internets to anyone who can find the remaining 9. (Christopher Eccleston's naked ass does not count!)
heh
yeah
I've watched all the narnia movies but only for the...art direction?
the pretty things, set-pieces, props, I like the designs enough to part with $1
The fuck, CS Lewis
you've read Gaiman's story in Fragile Things about her, right?
It moves in real life when a Dalek appears on-screen.
Next up, full-size Daleks and Cybermen that move in tandem with their on-screen counterparts.
the Susan thing is way overblown, in my opinion
d'awww
That sure is an odd way of spelling "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" you have there.
Funny, I did the same thing just the other day. I don't remember how many of the books I read when I was young but I'm pretty sure I didn't make it to The Last Battle.
Steven Moffat can make me more excited than anyone. Even when there really isn't any real news attached..
I'm getting the feeling that the schedule for new episodes is going to be Fall 2012, Spring 2013 (season 7) then Fall 2013, Spring 2014 (season 8) and then a gap year of specials, starting with the 50th anniversary special in Fall 2014 going through Matt Smith regenerating whenever in 2015.
But production wise, he's going to be largely done with the show in late 2013 except to film any specials in 2014. They're going to start filming soon and they're not going to stop for a year and a half because they're basically filming seasons 7 and 8 back to back.
That's my speculation anyways.
there's something about the apocalyptic imagery followed by Lewis' description of Aslan's Country that stirs my heart
and it was illustrated
"At a well in a yard they met a man who was beating a boy. The stick burst into a flower in the man's hand. He tried to drop it, but it stuck to his hand. His arm became a branch, his body the trunk of a tree, his feet took root. The boy, who had been crying a moment before, burst out laughing and joined them."
Stetsons! Stetsons are cool.
