I'm on the S5 2010 Xmas special |thumb

Moving along nicely |thumb

Is that still David Tenant or now Matt Smith?

I really enjoyed Tenant's character as the Dr and took a couple of episodes to like Smith.

S5 started with Matt Smith. I liked Tennant a lot, but Smith is kinda growing on me :)

BTW I just started S6 - what's with the intro where Amy tells people about her invisible friend? Just feels off lol

I remember that being off with me as well but I liked the Amy Pond character so over looked some things :)

Smith quirky Dr character grew on me and I ended up really liking him in it.
This reminds me how old the picture to the left is here with my cat (RIP) and the remark under my name "Bow Ties Are Cool" |lol|

GTFO!!!|lol|

I know who Alex Kingston is! |party2

Side Note: I remember her very well from the NBC series ER |sars|

The 2nd half of S7 with this Clara chick kinda sucks. Where's Russel T Davies?!?

I like Clara but then again I find her very attractive and very willing to overlook stuff :D

The 50th Anniversary Special made up for a lot of it|lol|

I'm onto the episodes with Peter Capaldi |thumb

You really are moving along.

I have a t-shirt with Tenant & Smith on it inspired from that episodes poster

I was just thinking I need some swag|lol|

He just doesn't do it for me. He seems too angry or something. But, I shall press on! 66 episodes to go (I think).

Other things I've noticed:
Star Wars Ashoka stole "Space Wales" from Dr Who.
Marvel's Avengers Endgame stole "Time Heist" from Dr Who.

|hr||hr||hr|

BTW have you ever watched the original series? I see it's on BBC...

I thought he was ok overall. They tried going in a different direction. That's why Tenant and Smith are still my faves.
Fun fact: Peter Capaldi and Craig Ferguson were in a band together.

I have and it's hard to watch (for me). Very slow moving and super cheesy especially in the beginning. For the time I can see why it was popular but by todays standards, yikes. The shows did get better before they took that long hiatus.

I agree, but I actually ended up liking the 1st one - Christopher Eccleston - a lot more than I thought I would. They should've given him a 2nd season IMHO.

|lol|

I kinda wanna give it a go, seeing as I love Douglas Adams so much.

I really should re-read Hitchhikers...

I just started S9 and got to see Capaldi play guitar|lol|

Ya, that's why I mentioned the fun fact :D

I know I'm late to the party, but The Bitch & I finished S4 of Succession on HBO and it was BRILLIANT! One of the best shows we've ever watched |thumb |thumb

I know why you like her:

Creatures made of "sleep dust"? |facepalm|

I'm almost at the end of S9 & I'm honestly sick of Capaldi |tardis|

Thanks for the pic :)
And yes, I was happy when Capaldi finished

I just finished S9 - The Many Husbands Of River Song was good |thumb

Yes, I remember that and always liked River Song.
In fact we continue to use a phrase of hers or the way she said SPOILERS if anyone talks about something we have not watched :)

As mentioned in morning thread there is a new season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive and it's still very good with 2 episodes done.

Also, the first 2 seasons of Resident Alien is now on Netflix and this show just makes me |lol|
The 3rd season has started on SYFY which I can now start watching my recordings since I finished rewatching the first 2 again.

Agree. I saw the first episode yesterday.
VroomVrooom!

|JollyHumper|

I do have to admit that I liked the S10 3-part story on the monks that needed consent, but I'm still not liking Doctor Disco |facepalm|

|lol|

So I do LOVE the new female Doctor, but the storylines in S11 are kinda meh :(

Wasn't sure how you would feel so I made sure no spoilers :)

I was hit and miss with Jodie Whittaker as the doctor but I thought maybe it was because I just finished watching her in the series Broadchurch (starring David Tenant) which I really liked though you are right the storylines were meh. The other issue was that there were huge gaps between her becoming the Dr then the new season starting before getting a new season as COVID had hit. You get to binge it which I think would will be far better.

I will say that my wife liked her as the doctor so it really could be the Broadchurch connection for me. I hope the same does not happen with Ncuti Gatwa as he just finished the series Sex Education which I liked.

Watching the two of them in a different series would FUCK me up|lol|

Starting the final season tonight, then I can't wait to go back & watch the new ones so I can get all the references|lol|

Moving right along and then you'll be like the rest of us just waiting waiting waiting

...and now I wait :)

The 3 specials with Tennant now make SO MUCH MORE SENSE|lol|

I see that MAX has the 4 seasons of Torchwood - worth watching? (I do LOVE Captain Jack lol)

|lol|

Probably even enjoyed them a bit better too

Yes, I thought they were good and my wife LOVED them!

So overall, you liked Jodie Whittaker as the Dr?

Yes, I do! I'd say Tennant is #1, Smith #2 & her #3

You never told me Russel T Davies created it! I watched a couple yesterday & so far, so good |thumb

I'm in the middle of S3 and Capaldi freaks me out|lol|

|lol|

So I finished Torchwood. S1-S3 were hit & miss, but S4 was GREAT! Bill Pullman was SOFA KING creepy!

For what's next, I looked at the original Dr Who series, but fuck me! There's like 23 seasons! I may just skip that :D

I just stumbled upon Good Omens on Amazon. I watched S1 years ago before I knew who David Tennant was, so S2 is up next |thumb

My wife liked it, I've only seen a couple of episodes and that's not because I didn't like it but that I try not to support that company.

Which company?

BTW I decided to rewatch the 1st season. There's a lot of Douglas Adams-like dialogue |thumb
