Nomad Whovians

[Doubar]

So, since we started spamming the wishlist thread and Kal pointed out that we didn't yet have anywhere else to go - I opened a new thread where we can talk about Doctor Who without flooding other conversations.

Kal: Oh, so that's why. The same happened to me last year btw - and over the course of three months me and my boyfriend had caught up with the existing seasons of the reboot.

I can't really decide which one is my favourite, they were all great in their own way (Nine, Ten, and Eleven).

I agree with you, each of them was awesome in their own right.

As for Capaldi, this latest season was really strange...different. Just need more time to get used to the darker side of the doctor.

You know, it's really funny. Looking around on some fb fanpages I noticed that quite many are somewhat bewildered by the new season while I for one loved it. I was a lot less content about the second half of S7 and actually appreciate it that we get to see another side of the Doctor. It doesn't mean though I'd like to travel with him because while Capaldi's Doctor is like a mix-up of all those that came before him, he does have some traits I don't really appreciate.

Have you seen this video parody on Youtube made by "the Hillywood show"? it's mostly centered on the tenth doctor, but it's amazing. This is what made me want to watch the show.

I have. It's absolutely awesome. Even though I prefer the How it should have ended version of Doomsday. xD xD

Dermott: You, too? Hah, that's awesome!!! I liked the time travelling episodes best as well, by the way. My favourite is The Unquiet Dead because Charles Dickens is nothing but awesome in there.

Ow, but so sorry to hear that you don't find the time to catch up on the other seasons. I'm sure you will be able to do that one day though.

I only wish that Peter Capaldi's one is worth his choice to give up on the Musketeers

I must confess I never watched him in the Musketeers. I didn't even know him before he took over on DW, but in my humble opinion he's great as the Doctor.


Eleana:

There are so many people who are watching Doctor Who. I'll have like 12 days off around Christmas and the New Year holidays... One more thing to put on my to-do list ^^'

You do that.

Haha! love that GIF !

Well, I think that the companions also have an influence on how I (we?) enjoy the show, not only the Doctor.
And even if Twelve and Clara make a cool couple, I'm not attached to her like I was to Amy and Rory, or Donna, or Rose.
As I said, I think we need to get used to see them.

Apart from that, I was disappointed by the last episode of this season 8... I don't want to spoil to much for people who didn't watch it yet but, all the season for THIS, all this mystery about Heaven and everything to finally ending up facing bad guys we already know...I was waiting for something more...for something new for once.

Just to be clear, I hate the Cybermen, and the Daleks! I also prefer the time travelling episodes.
And The Day Of The Doctor was a great episode, wasn't it?

Glad you like it.

Hah, and awesome gif that you found as well.

Oh now that's true indeed. Because we sort of "experience" the whole adventures, looking at things through their eyes. They can cause us to judge the Doctor and a situation differently, and have a huge impact on the overall story.
And it's the same with me by the way, I'm not quite as attached to Clara as I was to others even though thanks to S8 I really do like her, and I think I will actually be sad if the rumours are true and the Christmas Special is her parting episode.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The build-up was great and you thought there would be more behind it all than this. On the other hand, I still enjoyed the twist - especially concerning what it was really all about in the end! Also, I think we have by far not heard the last of Missy...

Oh, I'm with you there! The Cybermen and Daleks have been used to death, but you know - I read somewhere that it's something about contract issues and stuff. So they have no other choice but to use the pepper pots at least once in every season, and same with he Cybermen I think. Something about the inventor and copyright and what not else. It's why they keep returning again and again. >.>

Something for the Whovians among us.

[Kahlan]

This is awesome!!!!

Glad to know it made you smile.

Just stumbled across this one and am absolutely in awe of it.



I knew most of these clips, but some seem brand new to me even though I have watched the Confidentals (those that are on the DVD box set at least) and the way they are put together - that's just... awww. :3
