My Other Car is a TARDIS - Doctor Who Thread

then in the episode where they introduced him back into the modern show, he said something about the Time Lords giving him more regenerations in order so that he could fight in the Time War
While this is a good decision, you should probably not watch it because it's a fetid pile of shit.

Thats what I mean. As it stands torchwood seems like a badass don't fuck with the human race organization. If I watch the show I'm sure that wont be as true.
nuh uh, torchwood is actually a legitimate show. me and my friends watch it when we cant get everyone together to watch dr.who. like the other show, the spinoff thats basically a kids show, now thats some old bullshit. but torchwood is a good fucking show
HEY O CAPTAIN JACK
its like the what would happen if the dr. were human. basically.
its good. not as good as dr. who, but i mean what is.
Torchwood is a show that was made purely for the sake of being edgy.
This is not a reason to make a show.
Satans..... hints.....
god it was all one giant orgy
episode? lol
rebuttal: the welsh
Xena the Warrior Princess, Private Practice, and Barney all beg to disagree with you.
Seriously though. Me and my friends at Cal can only watch the Dr. Who in like increments, when we get the new episodes in the mail. Then we make a thing of it and watch it all together. Torchwood is a nice sort of filler for the in between times.
Man Xena wasn't fucking edgy, they made that show to have goddamm fun.
And Private Practice is the opposite of edgy.
And Barney isn't edgy for the sake of it, he is written that way as to show a different character to the stability of Marshall and Lilly.
Satans..... hints.....
Yep. Roger Delgado, who originally portrayed the Master, died in 1973 or 1974, so the Master didn't return until 1977 in The Deadly Assassin. He went from this charming fellow (Delgado):
To this animated, rotting corpse:
It was explained that the Delgado Master was the Master's final body (Deadly Assassin was the story in which the thirteen lives limit was introduced), and he seemed to have survived in this decaying state purely through hatred.
The Master continued like this in The Keeper of Traken, when he finally found a new body, that of Tremas (Anthony Ainley). The dying Master merged with the Trakenite and the Master looked quite dapper once more:
Yeah. He got sucked into the Eye of Harmony in the Doctor's TARDIS in the '96 telemovie after he had already been executed by the Daleks (no, the man never dies). The Time Lords brought him back as "the perfect warrior".
Of course, he scarpered once the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform (whatever that is). Perfect warrior my arse.
Blink was truly a great thing.
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
Definitely my favorite episode.
Which is funnier when you realize that BBC Wales is the main production arm of the BBC responsible for Doctor Who.
Blink is what I used to trick my wife into watching Doctor Who - and she cried like a baby. Great TV, that.
And I wanted to go to the library and high five that man.
I was reading the entry on Time Lords in Wikipedia and it seems like the regeneration thing is something the Time Lords per se invented, not something every person born on Gallifrey can automatically do. Also, their technology is sufficiently advanced for them to have a symbiotic relationship with it, as each does with their TARDIS, and something like an up-to-date copy of their mind is stored in a computer network called the Matrix:
This suggests that regenerations are enabled by technology external to the physical body of the Time Lords themselves. If this technology senses that a Time Lord has died, a new body is created for them from the remains of the old one and their memories and personality are re-uploaded from the Matrix.
The Doctor has always been quite adept at outsmarting and getting around the other Time Lords even when they were still alive. Now that they're all dead, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to hack in to the Matrix and fiddle his own numbers a bit, granting himself as many extra regenerations as he pleases.
And now I'd better stop before I delve into the murky waters of fanfiction.
If it was the Eighth Doctor who fought in the Time War, then the Doctor's regenerated twice since Gallifrey's destruction.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
The new Master came about on the Time War Gallifrey, not the War in Heaven one that the Doctor had the Matrix to. And I think there was something said about how the Doctor couldn't access the contents of the Matrix because of the super-compression method he used to get it in there - if he tried to access the Matrix, his head would explode or something like that.
I think had David Morrissey actually turned out to be the next Doctor I would have been ok with it, I enjoyed his performance
But I have a question about the IDW comic series that's going on right now (a friend was telling me this stuff last night)
One, this makes him pretty much the Valeyard, which sounds more like a fan-wank than anything else, but apparently these are officially sanctioned
Two, it's a big jump from being a slightly edgier version of the Doctor to being a full-on villain, and I'm not sure I really buy this whole thing
so what's up with this?
The matrix is a .zip file from a parallel universe okay got it.
No, no, no.
The Matrix is a .rar.:P
It was quite silly and lighthearted and fun, but there was the obligatory prediction of doom and gloom at the end of it
Also there was a neat preview for the next special called THE WATERS OF MARS
So, did anyone else watch it? Thoughts? Speculation on the next specials?
I just watched this as well!
This was largely bollocks, but THE WATERS OF MARS looks great.
Also, ONE YEAR AND STILL HERE!
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
and I have to suspect that the UNIT scientist was a little jab at some of the more obsessive Who fans
Lady Christina annoyed me.
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
I think that it is hinting that
Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of
Yeah me too. It's quite obvious though, which makes me think they are doing some sort of bluff.
