Whovians! ASSEMBLE!!!

[Mr Mystery]

So Saturday is almost here, and of course with it the new series of Doctor Who.

First episode is the rather wonderfully titled 'Asylum of the Daleks'.

And I am totally stoked for this! First I shall watch the preceding series, then close the blinds, get my dinner ready and enjoy!

[Wolfshade]

Dr Who is a blatant rip off of Bill & Ted...

[DrLove42]

I'm ready.

Been watching "Pond Life" this week, the shorts for the next series.

Karen G is so freaking hot, its a shame she's leaving this series...

And Bill and Ted is a most excellent film

[Psychosplodge]

Is there owt decent on instead? I mean really a two hearted alien saving the world with a screwdriver? pffft

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Nice, I'll be watching it. :D

[Wildeybeast]

Why is there an Ood on the loo?

[eldargal]

I'm looking forward to it, I enjoyed the last episode with daleks in because for once they didn't hit the big red reset button and destroy them all again. Come to think of it that was the last episode I really enjoyed. The whole thing with Amys spawn and River Song just got irritating and silly.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

And a bit weird.

[Denzark]

Dr Who is a blatant rip off of Bill & Ted...

I hope this is irony...

Actually I find the new DW a little bit rubbish.

Firstly because fickle actors lack of staying power mean they have had to retcon the limited regen issue - something i found a good idea.

Second because new DW seemed to be a platform for Russell T Davies to unecessarily advance his 'life style choice' agenda.

Thirdly because it is filmed a lot in Wales.

Fourthly because the Doctor should not be boning his assistants. No matter how hot KG is.

Fifthly because it always seems every episode is EPIC! He must not just save the world, it is ALWAYS THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!! WOOT! Back in the day the doc would save a random planet he encountered but now it is TEH ENTIREZZ OONIVERSE!

Sixthly because the epic storylines are accompnaied with EPIC music as opposed to the old BBC radiogrammic orchestra (or whoever) doing wierd experimental electrical stuff. Very moody.

Best Doctor = Tom Baker. Genesis of the Daleks - now that is a DW story.

It is

- The limited Regen thing was a limit set by the High Council of the Time Lords. With no council, no such limit

Second because new DW seemed to be a platform for Russell T Davies to unecessarily advance his 'life style choice' agenda.
Maybe

Thirdly because it is filmed a lot in Wales.
Can't argue with that...

Fourthly because the Doctor should not be boning his assistants. No matter how hot KG is.
The only assistant with any thing like that was Billie Piper

Fifthly because it always seems every episode is EPIC! He must not just save the world, it is ALWAYS THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!! WOOT! Back in the day the doc would save a random planet he encountered but now it is TEH ENTIREZZ OONIVERSE!
Every series is like this but not every episode.

Sixthly because the epic storylines are accompnaied with EPIC music as opposed to the old BBC radiogrammic orchestra (or whoever) doing wierd experimental electrical stuff. Very moody.

Best Doctor = Tom Baker. Genesis of the Daleks - now that is a DW story.

Fix'd

[heretic marine]

[gwensdad]

I may have to dig into my bits and make that Imperial-Davros for my guard. (not sure what "part" he'll be in the army)

[MaltonNecromancer]

He's my Master of Ordnance.

Well, he does field-test his awesome Lightning Cannon in "I,Davros"...

Should yoube demoing marital aids pre-watershed???

[Wolfshade]

Should yoube demoing marital aids pre-watershed???

I need no aids

[heretic marine]

Welcome, Doctor, to my new Imperium.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb183/MaltonNecromancer/Davros/DSC00131.jpg

I love that, yet am very afraid of it

[eldargal]

Fun fact: Julian Bleach who plays Davros in the new Doctor Who also plays Niccolo Machiavelli in Showtimes The Borgias. It's like my favouite scifi villain playing one of my favorite historical figures!

Well it's fun for me. Screw you guys...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Did I kill Machiavelli...?

No, I think he was one of the "good" guys.

[Psychosplodge]

I need no aids

They aren't generally for the male half of the couple...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Wait... You're saying it's okay for females to have aids?

[Psychosplodge]

To use marital aids...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

GAH. Context.

[Psychosplodge]

lol, well wolfies comment i quoted was an entire page ago...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Not for me. I see 40 posts per page.

[Psychosplodge]

Then you have less excuse, and how do I set it to do that?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Go look in your options.

I skim pages until I see something interesting.

It's mostly tl;dr.

[Psychosplodge]

most comments are no more than two lines long O_o

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

And then either Soton, Wildey or Malton will post. :p

[Wolfshade]

Not for me. I see 40 posts per page.

So do I because I am winning all the sports

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Even Baseketball?

[Wolfshade]

Even Baseketball?

Especially Baseketball, though not on Dozen egg night

[Psychosplodge]

Basketball, that's the game that stops cause "eek he touched me" isn't it?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You read it incorrectly.

BASEketball.

Have you never seen that film?

[Wolfshade]

Basketball, that's the game that stops cause "eek he touched me" isn't it?

Not basketball BASEketball

[Psychosplodge]

Nope, wtf is it?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've already got it. :D

[Psychosplodge]

Oh something else based on rounders?

[Wolfshade]

Oh something else based on rounders?

rounders and netball sorry basketball

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Not necessarily...

[alshrive]

i will, to my great dismay, be missing the first 3 episodes of the new Dr Who!! First due to a wedding, and then due to a 2 week honeymoon! fortunately i have set them all to record and will watch them back to back the instant i get back to this United Kingdom before anybody ruins it for me!

also Baseketball is hilarious and amazing!

[Psychosplodge]

Who saves the day.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Who saves the day.


STORY RUINED.

Gods damn it.

[Psychosplodge]

There's probably a near romance and a moral quandary too...along with mild peril.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'd probably say sexual tension as well.

[alshrive]

sorry is this the plot of Dr Who or my Wedding?!?!?!!

[Psychosplodge]

sorry is this the plot of Dr Who or my Wedding?!?!?!!
Yes.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Seems legit.

[MaltonNecromancer]

And then either Soton, Wildey or Malton will post

TDA, I think we probably post about the same number of words. It's just I'll make one post to your eleventy billion. :p

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Love ya man! :p

[Wildeybeast]

Back on topic, Pond life got really interesting today. Amy and Rory having marital problems by the look of it. Which mean hopefully means Amy is back on the market, my day just got a whole lot better!

[Mr Mystery]

My ex looks like Pond......

[Denzark]

In your personal 'bank', maybe...

[Mr Mystery]

Is true! She's a Doctor now. And married.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Don't like what I saw of the new ones personally, too hollywood action movie for my taste - prefer something more story focussed.

Love the classic series and big finish audios though - great stuff. I think my favourite era was the new adventures books in the 90's though, liked how they went in a more darker adult direction and had lovecraftian stuff in it. My favourite dr who story is probably "All-consuming fire" which had Azathoth and sherlock holmes in the same plot!

[MaltonNecromancer]

Well.

That was the single best Dalek episode since "Dalek" back in 2005.

Spoiler:

Genuinely chilling at times - the "human turned into a Dalek" was just horrifying. I loved the fact it obliquely referred to the same thing happening in "Revelation of the Daleks". That kind of body horror is something that's been missing from the series for a good long while.

[Mr Mystery]

Agreed. Totally awesome!!

[Wildeybeast]

Yeah, I really enjoyed last nights episode. And it picked up on the 'what's his name theme' from the end of last series nicely, and the martial tension between Rory and Amy was well handled and directed, I felt genuinely sorry for them.

[Mr Mystery]

And of course, that would be our first meeting of the new companion, Jenna Louise Coleman, and her frankly lovely...erm....assests.

Spoiler:

And an excellent use of a reset button to boot

So looking forward to the rest of the series!

[Wildeybeast]

I thought that was the new companion, but given the way the story develops I thought I was mistaken. Now I'm confused.

[Mr Mystery]

Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey! Anything is possible when you can muck around in the 4th Dimension!

[Wildeybeast]

Oh yeah, I forget that they can re-write what's already happened however they want. She'll make a good companion judging by that episode.

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed.

Though I'd like to see more male companions. Kind of like Harry from the Baker era, or even Turlough (a much under rated character). But nothing like Adric. Definitely not another bloody Adric.

Though I can see a serious moral quandry coming up for the Doctor. We now know what the question is, and that the Doctor wants to be hidden in the shadows once again. We also know that the Daleks know much even the Doctor doesn't (he tracks down The Silence by interrogating a Dalek's datacore). And now....well now his plans to fade from sight have had a major, major leg up. And we know how this was achieved, and that the means...well they're about to become his companion. Will he change things? Will he put his need for secrecy and obfuscation about the needs of an individual? We know she didn't recognise the Doctor, or at least gave no hint......

Barely got started and the questions gather! I love you Steven Moffat!

[DrLove42]

https://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/9/4/xiDqQqN1yEKjMHQ2AgaZqQ2.jpg

I didn't think it'd be possible to have a companion as hot as Amy Pond.

Looks like I was wrong

[greendragon]

I loved it, its just getting better and better. Its interesting to look back at David Tennant stuff and think about how that character compares and feeds into Matt Smith. Just err... Christopher Ecclefail. Don't think about that horrible horrible time when Doctor who was a rowdy northerner in a leather jacket...

Anyway, loved it all. Very excited to see how the new companion pans out. Do we (and the doctor) know her fate? Why did she not recognize him? How is she so clever yet works on a starliner? The Doctor killed some more Daleks in cold blood, is this more development on him as a character? Is he going to turn dark as Tennant did? "I am the last time lord, which means time obeys ME!" Love that quote from the Mars water creature episode.

I loved how they fooled us, everybody expects Amy to die - and we see a clip of the Doctor holding her body in the trailer, which was revealed in this episode to be her unconcious body, so theres that whole internet theory out of the water! I'm just really gutted that its only 5 episodes for this half :( but as a massive Stargate fan, am excited to see Ben Browder as the Sherriff in a couple episodes time.

[Mr Mystery]

And so.....

Dinosaurs on a Spaceship....dodgy title, terrific episode!

And we're starting to see threads developing. First, the Doctor's musical connections have been dropped in twice. Secondly, info about the Doctor is being deleted and lost. First the Daleks, and now Solomon, a galactic gatherer of goodies was unable to identify the Doctor with his price scanner....

[Wildeybeast]

Mitchell and Webb! Enough said.

[greendragon]

And lets not forget, the killing! The younger doctor would have objected but this Doctor ruthlessly sent Solomon out into space to die, and in the previous episode killed all those Daleks, he seems to be developing as a character and becoming colder hearted.

[Psychosplodge]

*cough* Red Dwarf *cough*


And lets not forget, the killing! The younger doctor would have objected but this Doctor ruthlessly sent Solomon out into space to die, and in the previous episode killed all those Daleks, he seems to be developing as a character and becoming colder hearted.

That's just a by product of the more cynical attitudes of modern writers. Also the killing is more acceptable to a modern pre-watershed audience.

It's still pants though.

[Mr Mystery]

Hish your gums vile heathen!

[DrLove42]

To paraphrase Batman, he didn't kill him, he just didn't save him.

I like the new slightly darker Dr. And i'm going to miss Amy and Rory in 3 episodes time

[eldargal]

I'm really hoping they keep the character the same. The Doctor and a Dalek companion would just be so *adorable*.

[Deadlift]

I grew up with the original star wars and that got me hooked on all things sci-fi , except Dr Who which I always thought was rubbish after Wurzle Gummidge was replaced as the Dr.

[Psychosplodge]

In original starwars was Jabba the hut a really fat man in furry looking cloak?

[Deadlift]

In original starwars was Jabba the hut a really fat man in furry looking cloak?

Yeah I believe so. There was a scene that was cut from either film 4 or 5 which shows Han talking to Jabba (shown as you described).
When mr G released the extended versions this scene was added back in and the man was replaced by a CGI Jabba.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah I'm sure it's in IV. But since the 25th anniversary edition came out I don't think I've seen it again, so kinda wondered if imagined it lol.

[Deadlift]

I am sure George will release a 3D, THX, Extended, Directors cut, remastered, collectors edition at some point and we will see the scene in the extras.

[Wildeybeast]

Is that the one where he walks round Jabba and they CGI edit him to step up and stand on Jabba's tail?

[Psychosplodge]

I am sure George will release a 3D, THX, Extended, Directors cut, remastered, collectors edition at some point and we will see the scene in the extras.
Probably, but the edits make no sense, why edit in a young anakin skywalker at the end of RotJ but not a young Obi-wan Kenobi? pffft


Is that the one where he walks round Jabba and they CGI edit him to step up and stand on Jabba's tail?

yeah that's a redone bit.

[Wildeybeast]

I hate George Lucas. I hope he dies a horrible painful death and some monster eats all his money.

[Psychosplodge]

There are only three star wars films, and three indiana jones films.

[Wildeybeast]

It took me a lot of therapy, but I came to accept that truth as well. Then he made Vader advertise washing machines. Now only the fire can cleanse me.

[Psychosplodge]

Fortunately I don't watch enough tv to have seen that.

[Mr Mystery]

Three minutes!!

Keeping my ear out for another musical reference!

[DrLove42]

Am I th eonly one who thinks that the Gunslinger is just Kryten from the Red Dwarf episode where they go to the Wild West?
