Any Doctor Who fans?
 
I was just curious to see if there are any other Doctor Who fans out there. And if so, have you kept up with it and what you think of the current series

i am enjoying the new doctor. Still missing Tennant.

I miss Tennant as well, but I am liking the new Doctor.
I also like the new girl too!

I'm still making up my mind about Matt, but he's lacking as yet in the aura of a time lord. It lost me a little when Daleks became bulletproof, Cybermen were human and the Doctor became depressive.

I still watch the show, but Spitfires in space (Merlins at full throttle) attacking a Dalek saucer was a bit much. And who's idiot idea was it to revamp the Daleks?

My eldest is alllll over this. He's liking it better than he expected to.

I was introduced to Doctor Who in the mid-80s through public TV (unfortunately, unlike a friend of mine, I didn't get to grow up with the show, being American). I even introduced my kids to the original Doctor Who episodes (this was pre-2005, when the show was brought back) and they love both the original and the current series.

I wasn't sure about Matt Smith either when they first announced he was taking over (probably cause the kids and I absolutely loved Tennant's Doctor), but after seeing "The Eleventh Hour", I'm sold. He'll definitely add his own something to the role of the Doctor, like all the others in the past.

I've even kept up with the 2 "spin-offs" of the current show, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Funny thing, seeing this thread today.

Last night my daughter came into my room and asked, "Dad, what's Doctor Who?"

I've never watched it, but I'm familiar with it. I asked why she wanted to know.

Turns out her bf is all into it, so I told her we just might have to watch a few episodes.


I'm hoping to find out how Daleks can be so menacing when they are armed with a toilet plunger. :p

Maybe it's a toilet plunger that's been reverse engineered to back your toilet up instead of clearing the blockage, forcing sewage to flow into your house and make it smell funny?

I have a friend that loves Dr. Who, but I can't get into it. I'll stick with Monte Python for my English comedy.

One of my favorites. In fact the guild that I created in World of Warcraft is called the Knights Who Say Nu.

The toilet plunger is just a manipulator. It is the combination microwave hairdryer and anal probe that does the damage.

I laughed when I saw them... I said out loud "Its the iDaleks!"

Oldfart 05-04-2010 08:01 PM

Daleks as manufactured by Hyundai.

Lord Snow 05-04-2010 08:51 PM

Hyundai: How Your Usual Nerd Drives An Import.....

Oldfart 05-04-2010 08:59 PM

Does that make Honda "Hold On, Nerd's Depressing Accelerator"?
