Sorry just being honest.

Fair enough.

Sounds like a sensible chap to me.

* Played by the DJ at Tranquil Repose

So far I like the new season (all abnormalities aside ) the new episode was maybe the best on many counts, I even liked Jody mostly, she did not comment so much on the things she did, had a nice rough handling with the alien queen (who was a bit too much for ma taste) and the companions did not feel like kiddie TV as much. I really liked both Tesla and Edison! I hope they keep this quality for the whole season and then end it wit Jody's hands starting to glow

just caught up with the latest episode on catch-up, the best in the current series so far. nice monsters, decent characters and not too much silliness, with a more restrained JW. PC preaching was kept to a minimum. the ending was reminiscent of the Doctor coming up with the improvised lazer at the end of Horror of Fang Rock. not destroying the aliens (i.e. perpetuating the new philosophy of the Doctor being a pacifist) made for a less than satisfying ending though. i'd give it a 6/10 and i think that's the highest i've given any JW era story.

Why do you even bother to come on the thread if you are not interested in the slightest in how Dr Who is doing iank except to gloat and enjoy watching the demise of a series you perhaps once enjoyed?

Personally even though the new series may not be doing as well as previous incarnations were, i am happy to see some people are still enjoying something that i enjoyed in my own time.

For years Who was dead and it could have remained that way. Even if you don't like it it still represents a positive role model for a young person to enjoy and follow.

It's never going to be the same as the old stuff because those series were a product of their age as much as the new one is of today.

Do you actually watch it or just piss and moan?

Why are people so quick to criticize these days, if you think about it in terms of classic Who we are now on the Peter Davison Doctor, a bit bland.

The way you seem is that you would rather it died and didn't exist at all.

If that's the case just ignore it and pretend it isn't there.

This Dr Who is for the new generation, same as it was for us growing up.

It seems you would be happier if it didn't exist, which just comes across as " if i don't like it then nobody else should" which just seems selfish and spiteful.

Also you don't seem to take in the fact that most people these days use catch up to watch series or binge stuff when everything has been on TV.

I'm not trying to be a miserable prick,but if you're gonna be so downbeat all the time it gets to be a drag.

Innit.

Aww.

Personally I don't think it's Doctor Who at all - it hasn't even got the Doctor in it anymore for one thing - and is so staggeringly terrible it baffles me as to how anyone who actually likes the original show can support it at all.

I find it an embarrassment to the original program and I want it to die. If that makes me an awful person, so be it. I want it dead.

Well that's perfectly fine if you feel that way, but if so why don't you post on this thread about the original stuff that you enjoy and leave the new stuff to the people that are open to seeing where the new series is going.
