[Open Dr Who fan members] calling Dr Who fans (2)

[MN John]

I've rarely been so underwhelmed by a DW episode.

Sarah Jane has been doing better than this recently.

 

[A New Dawn]

I thought it started out great!!!

 

[Lastie]

I think that the trouble is that RTD is great with the inter-personal stuff, which in that episode is great, but he tends to fall down on the actual plots a lot of the time. I thought they explained the other Doctor far too early and everything after that was kinda disappointing somehow, a lot of good ideas that didn't quite work. Which was sad, really, because it could have been great. At least the ending was good.

I agree with most of that. I wished that they hadn't revealed who the second "Doctor" was till closer to the end, too. One of the problems I see with the frequent repeat villains is that they seem to feel that they have to 1-up themselves all the time. (Except that it seems that they actually 5-upping (or 10-upping) themselves.) Everything is escalating so quickly there will soon be no story-lines that can accommodate all the new revelations about the villain, whether it be a dalek or a cyberman. One of the things that I think they forget is that they can actually travel in time, and that doesn't just include jumping from our past to our present and/or our future, but he can do it with the daleks past, present or future, too (like when he went back to the genesis of the daleks). Get them before they develop all that advanced technology.

 

[The-Doctor]

Yes but as the 4th Doctor said in Genesis "Do I have the right?" somethings could be better with the Daleks/cybermen...did they explain about the cybershades were they cyber dogs..sort of new versions of the cybermats? I agree they revealed the details of the new "Doctor" too soon otherwise it was a decent enough who romp.

well that's not very sporting now is it?...do stuff like that the episodes will only be 5 minutes long...

LOL. One wonders how much down time there is in the TARDIS between all that rushing around, saving the universe.

I kind of miss those episodes that seem to take place completely within the TARDIS.

 

[The-Doctor]

I had a friend who wrote fan fiction especially Dr Who. He wrote a story about the Doctor finding a cricket pitch inside the TARDIS and playing a game with his other selves even one where the TARDIS got flooded.

 

[The-Doctor]

The BBC have just announced who will play the 11th Doctor. It is........

MAtt Smith

He appeared in the Sally Lockhart stories.

You heard it here first

 

[A New Dawn]

At least it's not Harry Potter. uggghh............

I wrote a fan fiction story about the Doctor and a basilisk (long before Harry Potter II came out!).

A KID!?!?!?!!?!?!!!!????????

This has got to be when I stop watching Dr. Who.

 

[Lastie]

Yes he's young, but he doesn't look it all the time, and I've liked him in previous things I've seen him in. I'm not going to pass comment until I see him play the part.

 

[Sitswithamouse]

I think his age is irrelevant, it is how he plays the part of The Doctor as Lastie has mentioned.
I've seen him in The Sally Lockhart series and thought he was a good actor.

Roll on 2010

(Hope he keeps that gothic look)

 

[.chrys.]

I think this image of Mr. Smith would be quite nice:

 

[Wren]

I am not thrilled with how young he is either, but I will watch and see what I think of his acting as The Doctor. Honestly, I am just happy the there is a new Doctor. I like David Tennant, but I am ready for a change. My favorite Doctor has always been Christopher Eccleston.
