Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I am not gonna lie - I haven't liked the new series's that much of Doc Who. I can remember watching the old (and admittedly, quite terrible.) Doc Who's and I found them fascinating. I actually have no memory of me being more scared than an old Doc Who with the Autons.
But I watch the new ones, mainly for sentimental value, and because I like David Tennant.
The new episode was awesome. Matt Smith is actually a quite good actor, and I thought the plot was solid enough.
One massive issue I have with the new series is the Daleks. Ok, so the Cult of Skaro survived and used Timelord technology to transport a whole load of other Daleks into the world. And then they got pwned by the Doctor. Then Davros (wtf!!!!) comes back, under control of the Emporer Dalek (wtf!!!) and somehow has loads of other Daleks. Then the Doc pwned them. So statistically, there should be no more daleks left in the universe. But somehow there are.
Dear Doc Who,
We get it. The Daleks and the Cybermen are the two most iconic bad guys, but reallllly? Must you resurrect them from the ashes of their scattered and Timewarped bodies every time? Why cant you just say, actually, no. The Timewar didn't kill all the Daleks, we lied. Suck it.
Good day.
P.s I still love you.
tl;dr: Watch Doc Who. It is awesome.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I hate Doctor Who - my daughter is obsessed with it. She has action figures, mugs, collector's binder filled with utterly pointless trading cards, magnets, stickers, board games, books - you name it, she's either got it or wants it. We don't even have TV in our house so she goes to a friend's and watches it there then tries to tell me about it like I give a crap.
But, you know, more power to you and all that

IN-SEMI-NATE! I mean, EX-TERMI-NATE!
In my opinion, the franchise died alongside the Fourth Doctor. Fifth and Sixth Doctor sucked hard, but the Seventh had a lot of redeeming qualities, but not enough to revive the series.

Bah. It might as well be Star Wars or Star Trek. There's no camp value or Doctor Who:ness about it.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
Well its a doctor who which fits this generation. While the old doctors were awesome, its all about what works for today. Its like saying we should we should be still be using swords and bows and arrows in war. While they are awesome, they just don't work in this day and age. Sorry for the strange comparison.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
And that is why you don't make a series about vikings using laser rifles; they should use swords and axes. It is also why you shouldn't make any more Dr. Who episodes. It should be in black and white with corny-looking aliens/monsters.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I'm (relatively) youthful and I still prefer many of the older Doc Who's. I think that's why I don't like the new Doctor Who, it's taken the reservedness and under-the-rug homosexuality away from the Doctor. Don't get me wrong, David Tennant is brilliant, and the new guy isn't bad, but it just seems conformist and tacky.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I must admit, I am something of a Doctor Who nerd. The first episode was pretty awesome, Matt Smith is hilarious, but the Atraxi space ships were lame. Just crappy a Christmas decoration with eye stuck in the middle.
And, the new theme tune isn't as good either. But, nagging aside, it was a very good episode.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I thought the premier of the new season was quite good, although at some points it dragged. The only thing that stops me from immersing myself in the story, is Matt Smith's head looks like one of the heads of easter island.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I agree. That and the fact that it isn't Dr. Who at all.

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
I have decided, after much meditation and consideration, that, judging by Matt Smith's face, he is God's Mistake. I have also concluded that his face looks like a mask...(feel free to add another insult in this space. Sadly, I cannot think of one at the moment.)....

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
He does acknowledge that. In the last episode of season 4, where he regenerates, when he's checking out his new body does he not say, upon feeling his chin "Chin...chin... oh, blimey..."

Re: Doctor Who: Season 5
Tis rather funny. I fact, that episode is probably the funniest in the whole history of Doctor Who. Walking into the tree, all the thing with the food and eventually settling with fish fingers and custard, the grappling hook... you know how people say 'That was so funny I rofl'? I actually did roll on the floor laughing!
