I like it when they get newscasters and public personalities talking nonsense on TV.

At least that part's accurate.

My issue with Tennant towards the end wasn't the mopeyness, it was the fact that they'd Flanderised the character to a series of tics and a pile of shouty heroics.

Dear god. Why the hell did they get Richard Dawkins talking about astronomy?

My mom kept telling me how I must absolutely watch Dr Who, and how it's just what I'd like... So I guess... Where does one start just to get a whiff of it? ... not sure I'll watch it though x_x have so many other things I'd rather watch.

I'd tell you to start from the beginning of the reboot series from 2005 (so Season One)

Yeah, start from 'Rose' and work your way up.

There was that time they had WW2 fighter planes taking down a Dalek spaceship.

Oh, god. I think I must have blocked that from my memory.

Oh yeah. My god that was funny.

How appropriate.

I love the cybermen in particular, I've watched most of the cybermen episodes right back from the Tenth Planet. Tomb of the Cybermen is one of my favourite episodes ever just for their voices alone. Thing is, the Cybus cybermen are getting tiring and they're like the Universe's whipping boys. They need a reboot, a redesign and a much darker storyline (i.e. numbers always depleting, must survive through any means necessary).

How did you see the Tenth Planet? It's been lost for years.

Ahaa, that's what you think, some old bloke had some of the original film reels which he uploaded on to Youtube, it's not all of it but it's a good proportion.

Yeah, I knew there were a couple of clips of it, but only a few minutes, right?

I think I must have watched a little under an hour of footage, give or take a good few minutes.

Just came across this.

...huh? Across what?

All caught up for the next half of season 7.
I'm really itching to go back and watch the first Doctor, too. Its too bad the videos are in such poor quality, but its also better than not having them.

With the Doctors; Eleven is my first choice, then it'd prolly have to be Ten, then Four. I've been meaning to look his episodes up. :p

You can't see it?

I +repped him for that.

I can confirm that your post contains nothing other than those words he quoted.

Why is there a black line on my arm?

Aha, Brilliant. ;)

See, this is why I wear goggles.

Ah, well ma'am, if you have SciFi channel you may be pleased to know that they're showing the older episodes currently, going through the Third Doctor serials at the moment. It's making me find Jon Pertwee all the more entertaining. "You, sir, are a nitwit" has become one of my favourite DW quote now. XD
Otherwise, also looking forward to the rest of season 7, looks very promising indeed. I have a disctinct hunch that the alleged end of the world in 2012 thing may become a plot point in the Christmas special, would be rather interesting to see.
And Lords of Time is apparently going to be in Australia too. Wow, we get PAX and a Who Con, loving the lineup for 2013, Australia doesn't always miss out afterall.

Lords of time?

It's a search engine.

It's also a Doctor Who convention, with Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann there celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who, along with other guests differing depending on the location. In Melbourne, we also get the voice of K-9 and the actor who played the 2nd Doctor's companion Jamie.
In short, it promises to be awesome. And yes, there will be much cosplay and photo taking. ^^

Aww, I wanna go :(

Well, it is for the 50th anniversary, so I'm sure that Europe will get some form of DW convention up there too. :)
