900 Going On 11th Incarnation - Doctor Who

[Reply #480 on:]

The 7th Doctor to the 8th was a very strange Regeneration.

[Reply #481 on:]

Why? Because it was in America? What, you have a problem with MadTV's Will Sasso being present for the regeneration?

[Reply #482 on:]

No, because it was unlike any of the others. With the face morphing and the electricity.

[Reply #483 on:]

And with Frankenstein playing at the same time. Really, what?

You haven't seen it?

[Reply #485 on:]

I have. It just didn't make any thematic sense for that to be happening.

[Reply #486 on:]

Frankenstein's monster was a dead body that [was rejiggered by a scientist so it would] came back to life. Somewhat same theme.

[Reply #487 on:]

If the Doctor had died, he'd be dead. He was regenerating, not being "rejiggered."

Sure, it's a "cloaking device" vs. "chameleon circuit" difference, but it still bugs me.

[Reply #488 on:]

He did say that the regeneration took too long when he was talking about his amnesia. He was deader than he ever had been before.

And chameleon arch! That's how he was "half human", nearly forgot.

[Reply #489 on:]

They sure are fond of chameleons on Gallifrey, aren't they?

[Reply #490 on:]

Although I don't believe he ever used the chameleon arch on Gallifrey itself. The first time was when he made himself half human to fool the Master (read: "canon" explanation for him saying he's half human in the movie) and then during Human Nature as the 10th Doctor. Speaking of the Master, he used one when he disguised himself to escape the Time War, didn't he? Once again, not sure if it was on Gallifrey itself or not.

... But yes, they do like naming tech after the little guy.

Next thing I'm going to have a go at making: Sonic screwdriver.

[Reply #493 on:]

I have no idea about any of this Chameleon stuff, but YAY PASCAL!

[Reply #494 on:]

Whooo! Tomorrow is Saturday! I can't wait for 6 o'cl...

Bugger.

[Reply #495 on:]

Come over to America. We've got a new episode this week.

Well, it's the same one you saw last week. But still!

[Reply #496 on:]

Xanfor's American?!

[Reply #497 on:]

Woo I get to watch the episode again when I get home.

[Reply #498 on:]

Im at a wedding and a few people wearing bowties...im waiting for the doctor to start traipsing across the dance floor

[Reply #499 on:]

Y'know what I'm thinking would make an awesome and unique pet? A Jagrafess.

[Reply #500 on:]

Rory is awesome. Do I really need to repeat this? Yes, I do.

In related speculation, I wonder what it is this "Church" entity worships as god. It seems to have a hierarchy taken from the modern day Catholic church, but otherwise it is completely different, even down to the iconography. And really, what creature could possibly want to be worshipped as deity and also have the Greek letter omega as its symbol?

...

Oh, right.

Not when they explode....

[Reply #504 on:]

C'mon Steve, you're not even trying. The 10th Doctor was very iffy about giving away screwdrivers so it was a big deal for him, but meeting River for the first time and learning that he HAD given away a screwdriver in the future made him think about the rather obvious option of making spares. It's even kind of wibbly in that he had to have been going to give one away to make him change his outlook on them.

[Reply #505 on:]

Ahh Mr. Moffat never fails to make me laugh.

[Reply #506 on:]

Bugger.

What happened on Saturday that stopped Doctor Who from airing? Cause I only remember the fact that it wasn't on. It was either Eurovision (which by the way is a load of shite), or the Pixar Documentary and then after that, Wall-e.

[Reply #507 on:]

Spluh willsterdude, it's the mid-series finale... It only comes back in Autumn...

[Reply #508 on:]

Sorry for the DP, but, in the words of Leela, 'Oh Lord...'

I think that peice of news is fake.

What? How is it fake? Is it April 1st...? Jesus I need to stop using that Time Sphere so much...

[Reply #513 on:]

I heard something about that and saw something in the paper where Karen did look a little worse for wear... she was definitely hammered and stumbling out of a club. As for whether she ended up naked in a corridor... I dunno. I didn't actually read the story. There's a plate somewhere wrapped in that story, maybe I'll dig it out next year.

I've actually caught up with all of Doctor Who now - at least the new series. Now I want more. When does it air again?

[Reply #514 on:]

September at some point....

[Reply #515 on:]

Damn, I was hoping it would be August

[Reply #516 on:]

Which translates as "I have caught up with next to nothing".

[Reply #517 on:]

Five and a half seasons isn't bad.

Surely nothing compared to the entire pre-McGann run, but nothing to balk at...especially when watched in the span of about two weeks.

What Josh said, I intend to get as many of the old Serials as is possibly, maybe not the ones with bit parts because that's just likely to frustrate me when I don't know what happened/is happening/will happen.

But I'll get around to it eventually.

[Reply #519 on:]

If you watch any of the old ones, make sure you see The Happiness Patrol.
