Doctor Who

Is anyone else watching this? There are two episodes to go and I can't wait for the last in the series as it is building up to a climax....

I'm not going to post spoilers, I don't know if the Sci Fi channel in the US or other channels in other countries are keeping the same pace as the UK.

I suppose the only good thing about Doctor Who series four cooming to an end is it means Robin Hood will return ;)

And for the record I am old enough to have watched it on a Saturday evening, and it was my kid brother who hid from the cybermen/daleks/sea devils/sontarans and the repeats of that era some how don't have quite the bite of this one, even if Tom Baker was THE Doctor.

My mom and I used to watch Dr. Who on the PBS station when I was younger. It was one of my favourite shows. Tom Baker was my favourite Who.

I finally got to see a couple of episodes while I was in Georgia since my aunt and uncle have satellite. I really enjoyed them. I hope I can start getting the DVDs soon.

My older brother watched Dr. Who every Saturday night on PBS too when I was a kid! I wasn't much into them (though I agree, Tom Baker was pretty awesome!) but I did watch them because Monty Python came on right after and that was more my thing ;)

But I do remember the daleks and the tartis, and how the Doctor was always changing (which one wore celary in his lapel?) and the girl was always changing but there was always a girl...

Sometimes there was a guy, Eimi.

Looking back at some of those Doctors that wouldn't surprise me... ;)

I think one was his granddaughter's boyfriend. :-p

I'm a Third Doctor person. I started watching when the transformation was happening from Second Doctor to Third.

I LOVE the new Doctor Who! My friend got me hooked and we watch the new ones together on Fridays (when SciFi shows it). It's a little event for us.

This Friday is the second part of the scary shadows in the library. We hooked another of our friends and she swore at the end because she'd have to wait a week to find out what happened. LOL

My friend Charles loves Donna. I think she's a great companion. And I like the 10th (9th, too. Those are my Doctors). We might go as them for Halloween - Me as the Doctor and him as Donna :D

That was Peter Davison, who followed Tom Baker in the 1980's. He wore cricket whites under his jacket and was the only doctor who had a companion (male) die on screen.

So I know to keep my big mouth shut, that's episode 9 and we just saw episode 11....

I love the new Who! *flail* I've seen the UK eps already even though sci-fi is behind...shhh... There was such a fantastic buildup! The ending fell flat for me though, but I won't say more for fear of spoilers.

'Turn Left' is a stand out episode, you'll like that one.
'The Stolen Earth' and 'Journey's End' are being reshown here this evening (Sunday) and I wil be watching again.

It's actually quite funny writing this now - I have repeats of Dr Who on right now complete with Rose, Mickey and Jackie

*Pouts* And we have only seen the first season of new doctor Who (the 9th doctor) and all the episodes of Torchwood. Makes no sense. Where my Doctor!
