Molly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 So, I guess I'm finally trying this show out. I started with the modern series, I just started "Father's Day." Up until "Dalek", I wasn't feeling the show, but that was a very fine piece of television and we got some much needed intensity from The Doctor. Eccleston is an extremely good actor, but when he's trying to be charming and impish, he really reminds me of Noel Fielding. Putting me in mind of Vince Noir, Old Gregg and The Hitcha' probably isn't the best thing. Billie Piper is a nice bit of alright, as well. Simon Pegg looked like he was living a dream in his guest bit, too. I guess I'm in for the long haul, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 You're past the weaker stuff. Hell, you made it past Doctor Who and the Giant Rubber Babies Who Won't Stop Farting, so kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, that World War III thing almost made me quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The trailer for that episode looked so fucking rad, too. They're mostly got it figured out from this point out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badhead Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I now want an episode where the monster walks towards the doctor and some unit soldiers. Just as its about to get there. The UNIT soldiers walk away. The doctor says "where are you going" and they say "you keep saying you dont like, need or trust soldiers. Goodbye" .

Venneh Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 One of us! But yeah. The front end of Nine has a lot of... Yeah. You're hitting some of the best episodes of the new series. Empty Child/Doctor Dances, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Okay, I get the Barrowman love. From the second he's on screen, he owns it with swagger and that cocksure manner, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Holy shit, "The Doctor Dances" took me from "This show is okay" to "Okay, I guess I see what everyone else is on about." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I just finished "The Age of Steel", I was ready to say that Tennant was too goofy for me after Eccleston. ...I guess not. Since he just murdered Rose's mom. Kinda. Enough. Also, Cassandra:The last Human in Rose's body was pure fetish fuel. Also,also: the near constant pushing of the two spin offs is irritating. Not that Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Chronicles are bad, I don't know, I've never seen them, but the internal marketing is bothersome.

Molly Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Also, also,also, Jackie Tyler is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I like Jackie Tyler in a very weird way, because it explains why Rose is the self-centered young woman she is. It also helps if you think of Jackie as the stripper from King Ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 If you think Jackie's bad, wait for Sylvia Noble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 If you think Jackie's bad, wait for Sylvia Noble. Oh god yeah! Jackie is given a reprieve - Sylvia Noble will forever be an awful person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 He's got the rest of Rose and then Martha to get through yet. But yeah. While Martha and Donna are my favs, the people around them are... Yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Bah, I still say Martha's mother is worse. Mind you, she's played by an Oscar Nominated Actress so it works and we're rehashing a poll from like two years ago I realized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I love the Robin Hood episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Robot of Sherwood: Loved it! Admittedly, that is my Robin Hood fandom marking out, and I admit it's not anywhere near as polished as Into the Dalek, but it hit all the right buttons for me. Twelve was fun, Robin Hood was well balanced between bravado and sympathetic, and Clara continues to be built increasingly strongly. I'd argue that she's probably more suited as a foil to her new Doctor than the one she first met, a la Sarah Jane between Three & Four. Also, casting Ben Miller as the Sheriff of Nottingham was an inspired choice! One for Shake & Blake folk, but when the Doctor is having his river duel with Robin Hood (shades of the latter's first meeting with Little John), Twelve opts for a spoon and a leather glove. The leather glove brought back to mind the second episode of the final series of Blakes 7, in which Avon chooses a glove as his weapon of choice in a duel, whereas I'm guessing the spoon is probably a McCoy reference. I also noted some wag on Twitter say the following: "As much as I loved Ten, when he was in a sword fight he used a sword and lost a hand. Twelve used a spoon and won."

jakob1978 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Not sure how I felt about that episodeit was fun, and I enjoyed the relationship between Robin and the Doctor..but yet another "robots trying to fix their ship so they can get to the promised land" story..didn't we just do that 2 episodes ago. Still, Clara continues to improve.Also did everyone spot the past Doctor cameo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
