The Doctor Who Thread

Its that emotional involvement that i think is lacking in Matt Smith's tenure. I really couldn't care less about Amy and her die every episode husband.

Riversong was interesting but now bores me to tears.

Emotional involvment is all well and good, hell, I'd recomend having that connection with characters.
But having the Doctor fall in love with a companion? Thats just dumb.

Why?

[Hawkmonger]

Because.........well...........just because.
I can't explain why, it just is. It feel's wrong that this 'cosmic hobo' should develop a love interest. It just doesn't feel right.

Sorry Hawkmonger, i was just trying to wind you up.

It worked once i thought but it can't happen again.

He had been withRosesince the Time War ended, through two incarnations, it must have been an emotional strain on him. The deaths of all his people and his greatest enemies so he thought. Rose was a bit of comfort. Thats how i see it.

'Planet of Evil' is a wonderful story. It scared the hell out of me when it was originally broadcast. Even the cover to the Target book worried me! I still think it is one of Tom's best stories

Well, the Doctor is not human and he is asexual, therefore he would NOT be sexually attracted to a human female.

Just because two races look similar, doesn't mean they are similar - think Kong and Fay Wray! Two different species!!!!

Horns has Graham Crowden (my favourite grizzler), Meglos has an evil cactus, and Planet Of Evil sets are great, ok the fx lets it down slightly, but not as badly as Invasion of The Dinosaurs hem hem.

What i love about the old ones being reissued nowadays is the fact that on the commentaries, they always "dis" New Who because of this "emotional depth"

I don't know about you, but to me Kong and Fay Wray don't exactly look like like they are from the same species - not the greatest comparison. the various Star Trek series certainly oppose your reasoning also.

By the way the Doctor is half human.

I was only winding Hawkmonger up with my posts as i said earlier.

I knew me not rating Planet of Evil would raise hackles. I just think its shite
