Dr. Who

[Bardmaiden]

This is because (from what I have been told) they're doing British seasons, not American ones. And since Dr. Who is British that would make sense. Any Brits care to tell me if I'm full of shit or not?

We do tend to the short series, comedy series are usually 6 episodes or so dramas are longer 10/12ish. Link on TV tropes which explains it better than I can.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I heard the revelation about River's identity but not this.

Think about River's identity, and her relationship with The Doctor.

And Rory's a father now. Of course he's going to kill the Doctor! He's messing with his little girl!



Highlight above so there are no spoilers for those who haven't seen and don't know

cinema, there's supposed to be one more episode this year. Its not gone yet. But yes, it sucks. Of course, have you noticed that ALL the tv shows are doing that now? Before the strike, a season was 20-22 episodes. Ever since then, they've gotten lazy and are only giving between 10 and 13 episodes (at least on American television). Its disgusting.

The Tenth Doctor fathered a child, kind of. That was Jenny in "The Doctor's Daughter." Technically, she is a clone, not an offspring--well, a genetic replication taken from his DNA. Obviously not a clone if you've seen her. (Hint: WOW!)

Jester, Georgia Moffett is Peter Davidson's (Fifth Doctor) daughter. Talk about keeping it in the family! She and David Tennant met during the filming of that episode, married and fairly recently had a daughter. No reports of it having a time-head, though.

As for the revelation, I found it out from a friend blurting it out on Facebook, with no warning of spoilerage. Said friend was suitably chastised, by myself and others.

Loved "A Good Man Goes to War." I think it was one of the 3 best Matt Smith episodes, along with his first ("The Eleventh Doctor") and one from this season ("The Doctor's Wife"). All three were extraordinary.

Greatest line from "The Eleventh Doctor": "Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically....run."
Greatest line from "The Doctor's Wife": "Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords." "Fear ME. I've killed all of them."
Greatest line from "A Good Man Goes to War": Hard to decide. So many good ones. Not all of them The Doctor's.

What I'm wondering about (of course, given that the Doctor gets out of the dire straits he appears to be in currently) is how they will stick with the canon of the Eighth Doctor whenever they get to the Twelfth.

What canon is this? (Asked the man completely unfamiliar with the canon of the earlier incarnation of the show....)

I thought in the first season of the Eleventh Doctor's run that he never lived up to his amazing showing in the first show of that season. But in the second, he has exceeded that at least twice, as indicated above. And he can be quite scary, as he was at least once in the first season in the drilling episode. His warning to the mother was creepy beyond belief.

I was not expecting the revelation (I came into the episode a bit confused because I only caught the last few minutes of 'The Almost People')...I seem to recall a mention/implication of the Tenth Doctor fathering a child...was that child related to River/Melody??

[Hermione]

Rory is gonna kill the Doctor.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I heard the revelation about River's identity but not this.

[Hermione]

I'm in the US, and found out the revelation by accident via Whovians United on Facebook. .

I can't wait to see the episode because I heard the best part of the revelation of River's identity was how it was done.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Given that our DVR is reserved for other things on Saturday night, I watch Doctor Who on Xbox Live. Netflix streams all of the new series (1-5 and the "End of Ten" Specials), and I watch the current series via Zune. Sure, I have to pay a fee to see it, but usually the day after it airs in the States, I can watch it on my Xbox.

At present, though, it does not have "A Good Man Goes To War," and the suspense is KILLING me.

Waiting not paitently......

[Dasota]

Boyfriend downloads it as soon as it airs in the UK. So we're all caught up

[Moirae]

Yep, still waiting for River's revelation. I cannot wait until the weekend. I'm soooo excited. Oh, I hope River stays on the show. I like her more than the current Doctor.

[trailerparkmedic]

Yup. Anxiously awaiting it, and trying not to hunt online for the episode because the last time I did that, I ended up getting viruses instead.

[cinema guy]

Aah, that explains it. So You guys have still got 'A Good Man Goes to War' to come and River's revelation?

[trailerparkmedic]

There's another week in the US because there wasn't an episode over Memorial Day weekend.
