Doctor who

[Funnyfarmer]

Anyone eles exited for serise 10?

I still don't get how Bill's brain didn't get fried.

Sony Walkmans for everyone!

DP's just told me he fancies Missy

Should I be scared? 😂

Just embrace your inner psycopathic, evil timelord!

Maybe it's just cause she reminds him of me 😍

Michelle Gomez is one of the alumnae of ds' school - as, apparently is Daniel Portman (Podraig Payne in Game of Thrones). piece of useless trivia

I've just finished catching up on the last 7 episodes. Is it just me, or do they all feel a bit repetative? I haven't seen every single one episode in every single season and yet I keep feeling like I have seen them before. I did quite enjoy the creepy house one though! I hate creepy houses with squeeky floors and doors.

Now, what I would like to know is- don't the writers get fed up of having the same story of some alien power coming to take over the earth every single year? And rewriting all of the earth's history all the time?

Also, does the Doctor forget his previous sidekicks? Why does he always act like each one is the only one he's ever had and is the love of his life that has to be saved at any cost?

Why does he always act like each one is the only one he's ever had and is the love of his life that has to be saved at any cost?

Probably because his conscience tells him he is responsible for them. I don't think he forgets the others at all.

There are only a small selection of action adventure plots, including sci fi.

Base under siege
Alien invasion - they are here, or they are coming, or they are plotting it somewhere that the hero turns up
Planet with problems - natural disaster, evil overlord, cult brainwashing

Any more?

DH was hoping Bill would go with the aliens. He really hates her.

This season def isn't the best and I really gate bloody Nardole and Missy

I thought the evil space suits were a nice twist on, I suppose, "evil overlord". I guess the mining company were the overlord in that one.

I'm with your DH MommaG. Why can't she be floated off into space like they did with Clara?

By the way, have there ever been male companions?

Dillite

1st doc- Ian, Steven, Ben.
2nd- Ben (for a bit) Jamie .
3rd- non, unless you count the UNIT folk.
4th- Harry, Adric.
5th- Adric for a bit, Turlough.
6th- none
7th- none
8th- Chang Lee or whatever his name was- sort of.
9th- none -a bit Mickey.
10th
Mickey.
11th-Rory.
12th- nardole.

My faves are Jamie, ben and Rory.

oops, forgot Captain jack with 9th and 10th.

I think that's all the male companions.

Depends on your definition of 'companion' - if you count 'anyone who's ever travelled in the Tardis and helped the doctor in an adventure', (as opposed to someone who just travelled in the Tardis because the doctor was rescuing them), then I would add Bret Vyon for the 1st Doctor, the Brig and Sgt. Benton for the 3rd, HG Wells for the 6th. And of course the 9th Doctor took Adam on a trip, though he certainly didn't help....

Have you watched tonight's yet, QuiQuaiQuod? Don't want to do spoilers, but there's a bit I think you'll appreciate...

Oh, and I forgot Wilf with 10 and Rory's Dad Brian with 11.

Specialsubject you forgot 'Victorian England' and 'doctor meets famous figure from the past' plotlines

Im out of love with Dr Who. I don't know if I'm just too thick but I can't follow it anymore and I don't understand why the doctor now can kill people when he couldn't, and why he needs to be rescued and why Nardole and Missy are in it all the time.

I liked that one actually. Less of the planet-wide navel-gazing and more of an old fashioned preposterous alien adventure with a ridiculous premise.

Felt like a decent uncomplicated filler episode, except for the exchange at the end. I guess Missy will be there when the Doctor regenerates. I wonder if they do it at the same time?

Also, is he deliberately channelling Tom Baker here and there? Definite resemblance in a couple of lines.

What I didn't get about tonight's episode was why, suddenly, the Tardis left of its own accord. Anyone care to explain to me?

The TARDIS has HADS (hostile action displacement system) to take it out of potential harm's way.

But doesn't that mean it would always leave the Dr. behind?!

Apparently he'd been fiddling with it and it went off. It's a Gatiss go to.

Really enjoyed last night's. Felt very old school somehow. Good old aliens in statis, dead planet stuff. Liked the idea of the British Empire trying to subjugate the ice-warriors. Never mess with an ice warrior.
