Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I knew he did it, but had no clue it was THAT obvious. I was seriously waiting for someone to yell "CUT" offscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Ah, but yelling "CUT" means starting over, which means more videotape is being used, which means more money is being spent. Seriously, unless an actor swore or dropped character, it stayed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 John Barrowman and his sister are going to write a Torchwood comic strip. Interesting. I'll give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Starting Reign of Terror. - I swear I thought I saw Ian grope Susan when he was holding her back in the first episode. Not that I'd blame him, really. Turned out to just be some sort of Freudian hallucination. - Barbara wasn't willing to take one for the team! She could've just taken the guard aside for five minutes and got them out of there. - Doctor killed a guy with a shovel! Alright, I know he didn't kill him, but come on now. That guy should be dead.

slothian Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I watched Blink for the first time last night and I was floored. Totally deserves its acclaim. And I will fight Dan for Sally Sparrow. She lives in my country and is a mere two weeks older than I am, so that's a big advantage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 The nominations for the 2009 Hugo Awards have been announced, and once again Doctor Who has been nominated for the "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form" category. Two Doctor Who stories received nominations: "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" by Steven Moffat, directed by Euros Lyn; and "Turn Left" by Russell T Davies, directed by Graeme Harper. They will compete against episodes of Lost and Battlestar Galactica, and Joss Whedon's Internet musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog". The Hugo Awards are given each year for the best works of science fiction or fantasy, as determined by the members of the World Science Fiction Society. Doctor Who has won every year since its return to television in 2005: the last three winners have been "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" (2006), "The Girl in the Fireplace" (2007) and "Blink" (2008), all written by Steven Moffat. Five other Doctor Who stories and one episode of Torchwood have been nominated in the past. This year's winner will be announced at Anticipation, the 67th Annual Worldcon, in Montreal, Canada in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I watched the first special of 09. I won't spoil anything for the foreigners, but I disliked Michelle Ryan's character as much as I loved David Morrissey's and the ending pissed me off no end.

dc20willsave Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I personally enjoyed "Planet of the Dead." There were a couple of times that the Michelle Ryan's character angered me but, that all said, I like Catwoman so her reaction to a few things didn't faze me. As for the ending, I loved it. It helped get across that this is probably going to be the last time we see the 10th doctor happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I missed 98% of it but based on the little I saw I have no interest in seeing the rest. The whole flying bus thing looked way too Harry Potter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I missed it aswell. But while I'm here I might as well say I felt the christmas special was too long and if it was a regular episode length then it would've been great, but it bloody dragged.

Darque Edge Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hey all - I know the shill threads are below, but a heads up that we have a review of the latest BBC DVD (The Deadly Assassin) up at GeekPlanet. Also, we have a new column (Queer Eye for the Sci Fi) looking at the old question of whether or not there is a gay agenda in New Who. I figure this is stuff that fans of the shows here would be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm on Last of the Time Lords. While I miss Rose, season 3 was so much better than 1 and 2. Every episode in that season has great writing and the performances are spot on. I'm about to start season 4 and I hope they continue to be this good.

I figure this is stuff that fans of the shows here would be interested in. Read the Gay Agenda article. I agree, the show may have a so called "Gay Agenda" but it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's the 21st century, big whoop. Having gay characters is completely normal, it's not as if no one before 1950 was gay. Besides, it's Captain Jack. Who wouldn't want him? I'm on Last of the Time Lords. While I miss Rose, season 3 was so much better than 1 and 2. Every episode in that season has great writing and the performances are spot on. I'm about to start season 4 and I hope they continue to be this good. I envy being in your shoes again. Season 4 is my favorite season overall. Catherine Tate's Donna Noble really grows as a character. She's a lot less shrill and, to tell you the truth, my favorite companion of the new series, mainly because she's not going to fall in love with the Doctor like Rose or Martha. Won't say any more so as not to spoil it for you but it really is a terrific season. I do recommend watching the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures and second season of Torchwood first since both have slight spoilers later on during the season.

I know, but in amongst UK fans, especially those of the old series, it was a HUGE deal. For no particularly good reason. Mind you, since Time Lords were supposedly created by 'genetic looms', and (whisper it) "sex" didn't exist in the series, I think amongst some fans, it's just down to downright terror.

Dan Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I never understood the sheer determination held by so many fans that Time Lords were completely asexual. When Paul McGann kissed a girl, the reaction was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You live in the US. You haven't seen UK Doctor Who fans. Asexuality is a better option than constantly getting turned down. Oh, and as a UK Doctor Who fan, who knows other UK Doctor Who fans, I'm talking about those other Doctor Who fans. The sad ones. Not the cool ones reading this.

I guess that's the advantage of growing up with it being the weird show on PBS that came on before Ghostwriter on Sundays. It wasn't part of my national tradition or anything like that. It was just the show with guy with the awesome scarf and the scary robots (Daleks scared me as a kid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
