I wanked off in a pond once.

Neil Gaiman turning in his script for the next season of Doctor Who. Guy in the middle is executive producer and head writer Steven Moffat, and the guy on far left is Richard Curtis, writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, and Notting Hill. He too, is doing an episode.

Doctor Who Levitating Timelord's Spinning Tardis

Gaiman and Curtis are old friends. they've known each other for years.

And both are scripting a Who episode! WooT!

How you liking Number 11, Grimm? I'm loving him.

haven't seen it. but if the Baker shows up, I will be happy regardless.

I just watched "Amy's Choice". Got nothing to complain about the writing, except for the romantic bits. It seemed logical, but Amy choosing Rory in the end didn't do anything for me, and seems forced. Their relationship hasn't been fleshed out and there's nothing in Rory that makes me feel like Amy would actually actually love him that much.

Agreed. I like Rory and all, and I get what they're trying to say about the couple. But, in the end, I will be fine with their relationship issues becoming a thing of the past. But, I hope they keep Rory around. I like him quite a bit...

I doubt that's going to happen. That was all rumor, so I don't see The Baker making an appearance. I mean, I could be wrong. But, I'm almost certain I'm not.

Either way, Matt Smith owns the role. He's IS The Doctor. I've never seen an actor conqueor the role and make it his own as quickly as Matt did. Right out of the gate, he's on it...

Amy's Choice was one of the best episodes in the series history.
I'm not sure how I felt about Hungry Earth. The Doctor/Rory interactions were interesting and I like how the Doctor fucked up a few times. I feel like Smith truly gets the character and knows how to play him with humor and a complexity I can't find in too many other Doctors. I like how he moves his body in a somewhat alien way, also love how he "scans" people with his eyes when trying to convince them of something. This Doctor feels very mature, like he's comfortable with who he is.

ewww

I like Matt Smith. I actually kind of like him a little bit more than Tennant. But then again, I haven't watched all the doctors yet. My crappy net connection is still not done downloading episodes from the 4th and 9th (I'm going by people's favorites on choosing who to watch, just watched Smith first because I got hooked on the weeping angels).

I just noticed this about the 11th, is he the only doctor that seems to have trouble getting the TARDIS to go to a specific time and place? (e.g. appearing 12 years and 2 years late and the "Behold, RIO!" in South Wales thingie)

Actually, that was a staple of The Doctor and the run-down TARDIS for pretty much the entire series, up UNTIL the current series. Moffat just brought that back with this Doctor...

I wonder how much of it is the Tardis and how much of it is the specific Doctor. Though I remember lots of errors in the 9th/10th era:
12 months instead of 12 hours
The Quiet Undead
Tooth and Claw (1879 instead of 1979)
Idiot Lantern (1953 London instead of NY)

Though there was way too much of a sense of "present" and going to and from the Companions home. It worked with Rose but by the time Donna came along it was old and stale (like Donna herself).

Torrents on the classic episodes are slow as crippled shit (3kbps even with 300+ seeders. Compared to 200+kbps on the newer episodes.).

Anybody able to point me to places where I can watch the classic eps?

Aside from a few stories split up over 10-15 youtube videos it's hard to find. This is why I've mainly seen Tom Baker and less of the others. It just takes time and patience to get.

Check your PM box...

The Love Boat!

Soon we'll be making another run...

No one saw the episode? It was ok, Rory's send off was pretty neat and original (if not a little fucked up).

Nah! He'll be back.

and then silence will fall.

I've stopped watching the show because the stories are quite shitty, and the writing has been very obvious and unoriginal.
Its a shame as I like both Smith and Gillan.

IN THE ASS.

I think Moffat's stories have been great. But, Chibnall isn't that great of a writer, and the Dalek episode made me want to cry. Other than that, excellent season!

IN THE ASS

Kinda like your commentary

Who is this "Rory" people are talking about? I've watched the current episode and I didn't see any Rory. I don't even remember any Rory from the the rest of the season. Does he even exist?

well maybe when you're done with your period you can give the show another chance.

Maybe when you are done being retarded ... oh shit, that will never happen.

Who? I....I must have been really high before....I don't even remember why I wrote that name...."Rory"???

Even a retard can see you didn't deny being on your period. Log off, take a warm bubble bath, untwist those panties, and try watching the episode again once your vagina has stopped hurting.

So you are saying that I dont have a right to dislike the current writing.
Retard!

dislike whatever you want I just question anyone who does nothing but bitch on a messageboard thread. You don't like it, fine. But why waste your time watching the show and then coming here to bitch?
It was a mystery to me until I received your PM which, even though it was private, I feel the need to share here:

And my only response to you is "I'm not entirely sure what you look like, but yes you look very fat."

Very funny moron. Especially from someone who does nothing but bitch about politics shit he doesnt like, and then goes running crying from the boards when things dont go his way.

What you are saying is that someone cannot give any negative comments on something you like, which is what makes you a shit eating retard.

Why the fuck can I not comment on disliking something that I normally like?
Maybe you should never complain about Donna or whoever you dont like in the show, cause that would obviously be bitching.

Go back and read my previous posts and tell me if I have made no positive comments as well. I am sure you will find that I said in the very comment you decided to jump on, that I like Smith and Gillan, or was that being negative and bitching as well?

You are a fucking retard, lets just stick with that.

Oh, and the more you post, Ray, the more you remind me of Snarf.

thank you.



Do I even post on the politics board anymore? I don't remember getting involved beyond defending MEM and a few random comments since 2008. I certainly haven't let it get to me enough to give a shit since then.


I never said you couldn't do or say anything, but you do leave yourself open anytime you say or do anything here just like we all do. You bitch a lot, that makes you a target. Jeez, the internet is old enough that you shouldn't be shocked by someone mocking your rage.


Do whatever the fuck you want but if you really enjoyed Donna episodes and I was ragging on her you might feel the need to say "shut the fuck up" every now and again.


I really don't care that much. Though the initial thing that irked me is that you're talking about how muchyou like these actors but then complain about the handful of episodes they've had. It's like saying "I like Tom Hanks but I hate all of his movies."


I know that when your ovaries are sore you get mean. I forgive you.

I don't really get the reference. I know of snarf but am not in on any personal jokes you may have. Posts like this make you seem like the youtubeposter without the videos.

See you still make no fucking sense.
You say I am the one on my period, yet you are the one all bent out of shape because I mocked your precious Who, as if I mocked your family.

The Tom Hanks analogy makes no fucking sense at all.
Of course you can like Tom Hanks and not like his movies. Tom Hanks could be the greatest actor in the world or the nicest guy, or more likely in your case, you love him, but if the writing and stories of the movies he is in are shit, why would you like them?

Simple fact is, the characterisations of Pond and Who have been great, as have the lines they deliver, but the stories have been weak and, for the most part, unoriginal.

Why would I continue watching something where in four or five episodes, I have yet to be engaged by the stories?

Unlike you, Ray, I grew up with The Doctor, I know what I enjoyed, and I know what I didnt. I watched the Doctors I liked, tried the new ones when they came up, and either continued to watch their runs, or turned them off until a new Doctor came along.

Why does a comic book series get cancelled after 6 issues or a tv show after one season? Are you saying that they should go on longer because nobody has given them a chance?

Fact is, when you said you didnt like one of the previous Doctors, Davidson I think it was, Pro asked you how you couldnt like him.
To which I pointed out you didnt have to defend yourself, yet you seem to think that if I say I dont like something, then I must be on my period.

I make a statement, which wasnt even angry, and you start doing a rex and saying I am on my period, when quite frankly you are the one pissing and moaning like a little girl, stamping your feet telling me that I am not entitled to voice a simple opinion on something I had high hopes for, and have ended up feeling let down by.

Feel free to continue being a retarded Snarf, it suits you.

I'm not bent out of shape. Not by a longshot. This is fun. think Algonquin Roundtable with vagina jokes.


Ok let me fine tune the Tom Hanks analogy. The year is 1985. You say "I like Tom Hanks but hate Bosom Buddies and Splash.


Personally I feel that a movie/tv story is a combination of acting/writing/production. All of those ingredients matter. Like I say I like Tennant but hate his last season due to the writing/production. But I can say I like Tennant because there are stories he was in that I truly enjoyed. You didn't like the episodes, that's your personal preference (which is very important with Doctor Who obviously) but it seems almost unfair to moffat (moffet?) who is decently respected for his story telling abilities that you give the new actor a break while blasting the scripts moff...steven (stephen?) oversees.
It just strikes me as odd.


But again you blamed the writers and gave Smith a free pass. I like Smith myself, I think his episodes have been decent to great and lightyears beyond series 4. But had I not liked ANY of the episodes I wouldn't blame the writers and gush about Smith.


Low sales or editorial pressure, same reason a tv show gets cancelled. Not really the point. Also some comic series only last 6 issues. Those are called mini-series.


You take this too personally. I did "explain" myself about Davison (his name is Davison) because that's the whole fucking point of the thread. We are Doctor Who fans discussing Doctor Who. What is the fucking point of coming here, logging in, and saying "it was bad."


You're new I guess. I didn't do a rex, I did a Ray. It's like comparing a dead hobo with a wheel glued to his ass and a racecar.


Again with the Snarf reference that I just don't get. Is this something from Fawlty Towers because I'm sure it was funny but it ended 30 years ago and only aired on PBS here in the states.

I like ham.
