Doctor Who

Who's been following the series since it was relaunched? It's really growing on me...

technomancer · 04-30-2007, 02:12 PM

I've actually enjoyed it, though it does feel dumbed down a bit. On the plus side they managed to get two Doctors I liked, which was more than the original series ever managed

I watched a few episodes when it first came back on and wasn't that impressed, but I caught a few from the last series when David Tennant became the Doctor and now I'm hooked.

Yep, big Doctor Who fan here.

I wasn't too sure about Freema Agyeman (Martha) replacing Billie Piper as the Doctor's new companion, but I think she is fitting in really well. And I thought Billie was amazing in it. Hot too of course.

I really enjoyed this last episode with the Daleks, the way they were implanting their genes into human bodies. Very cool

.

I also really enjoyed the episode 2 weeks ago now I think it was, where they were stuck in traffic in the sky on the motorway, lol. That is probably what the roads will end up like in many years time.

Really enjoying the series so far.

Yeah, the last episode with the Daleks was a great one.

Rumour is that the Master will be returning soon...

I just watched the episode where they brought Sarah-Jane and K9 back on Dailymotion, and that was really good as well.

Sorry to be negative, but I honestly think its awful. Cheesy, cheaply made, poorly acted, completely uninteresting to me. The only good thing about it was when billie piper was in it as a bit of eye candy

IMO they should have left it rotting in the BBC archives, to be occasionally screened on UKTV gold.

There are so many better ways to spend a saturday night than this.

I dunno, now that they have the ability to use CGI and overall better practical effects, I can see why some people feel it's been 'dumbed down'. Now that they can actually DO & show things they used to have to describe in the old series, it's kinda become more action oriented rather than dialog driven.

Personally my wife & I enjoy it. I can't see us buying the dvd's and watching it over & over, but it's still a far cry better than 70% of what passes for TV shows here in North America.
