Regenerated Doctor Who Geeks Thread

[RustyDaviesBear]

Sorry for the delay - internet went down just as I clicked create conversation....

And Patrick Stewart quite nice too (in an older sort of way). (am I supposed to add [bllush], or is it OK to fancy him?).

Did my CAT come through Gizmo?

Katisha, no... I'm not sure how quickly they work over the weekend. I suggest you use the email address below to get hold of me.

Yep, Patrick Stewart is a very big reason-to-see it.

BTW, the Second Doctor is blogging already if anyone's interested. It's quite amusing. The first time wasn't anything like the fics have guessed, sadly. All that weight of expectation...

lol Kay - that's great . Loved the reference to the aforementioned Mr Stewart too. And how is it going to develop with Donna, I wonder. Duly bookmarked.

Just posting to put this back at the top of Threads I'm on - I haven't been on it since Thursday, having spent a large proportion of the weekend rewatching DW DVDs clearing out the playroom.

Now waiting for DD to get home from Teneriffe, so I can use her discount from her weekend job at Woolies to buy the Torchwood Series 2 DVD set....

LOl, so that's clearing out the playroom the same way that I've been rewatching The Matrix Trilogy catching up with the ironing and cleaning the kitchen this weekend?

I'm now going to rewatch the last two DW episodes on BBC1 cook dinner

Someone at 'Doctor Who Adventures' magazine cocked up a bit this week.

Quote from magazine:

"...so now he and Rose can stay together. And with the chunk of TARDIS given to them by the Doctor, who knows what adventures lie ahead!"

Tut tut, you really should check the final edit of the episodes before you send stuff to print you know.

I bought Dr who adventures too for myselfthe children and the pesky baby went off with my the inflatable toclafane...he loves it.

Pah, that just means it's in some way canon. Well, it is in my fic anyway, so there, see. Latest half-baked rubbish here

Play.com have had the Christopher Eccleston complete series for £27.99 - mine came yesterday and I've already watched seven episodes!

Am sadly realising while working my way through The 10 Doctors that I am not enough of a geek (I'd never heard of the War Chief, for example). I am going to have to get in some serious old-episode-watching on YouTube...

Port - The War Chief appears in 10-part epic "The War Games", Patrick Troughton's last story. I've never been able to sit through the whole thing myself! Rather good trailer on the Choob, in the style of the enw ones.

and this is brilliant! if it doesn't make you want to go and watch some old ones, nothing will.

Sorry to drag it all up again, but having just watched the repeats tonight can someone just explain something I still don't get?

Did mad Dalek Caan engineer the DonnaDoctor thing or was it something arranged by a Higher Power, and if so what?

If I ever stop watching DW DVDs & get on with clearing out the playroom (don't hold your breath!), I may have some videos of classic episodes going spare -we are gradually replacing them with DVDs, but I need to check which ones we've got. I did get the Sontaran box set the other week, so there should be The Invasion of Time & The Time Warrior at least - I should have time to check when term ends (22nd)so if anyone wants any....

Katisha it is my understanding that Dalek Caan went to fetch Davros from the Time War, which was timelocked and therefore Not Possible, and as a result looked into the whole timey-wimeyness of the universe and a) went mad and b) saw what was coming and thought he'd help it along a bit in order to off the Daleks

why he just didn't think 'Davros will try to destroy the world? Bugger this for a lark then" and leave Davros behind, I don't know

dd1's second keyboard broke. ffs

mind you I am not a proper geek at all so I have probably completely got this wrong

please wait for a clever person

Kay loved that btw. You have reinspired me. I agree completely that the Dr and Rose wouldn't immediately start popping out sprogs, but I did read some quite funny fic the other day where the Doctor had somehow got Jackie believing Rose was pg, and he was too scared of Jackie to do anything other than try to make it happen.

Hmm. Maybe you had to be there

MegReally, I think he was only helping it along by only saying half of the truth, making Davros think he was winning.

Yeah, I think you've both pretty much summed it up well. Dalek Caaaaaaan floooooo into the Time War, which, by virtue of it being time-locked, meant he saw all things, much as a Time Lord may do at certain points.

But he was unprotected so it turned his mind to lubbly flubbly jelly toooooo. He manipulated events, because he had seen them and was therefore part of them... altogether now - wibbly wobbly timey ^wimey.

I haven't read up on it so I'm not quite sure what the generally accepted ideas are yet, but I do think WWTW is acceptable shorthand for what was, essentially a bit of old flannel and an excuse for a maaaaad Dalek, which is always fun.

dd2 loved Dalek Caan btw. She doesn't normally watch it because she is only 3 and a half, but she couldn't sleep and was getting into a right state upstairs, and dd1 was getting into an equal state downstairs because she couldn't hear Rose and Rose is her favourite, so dd2 came downstairs and we told her that it might be scary so she just had to say if she didn't like it etc etc

and she was delighted with Dalek Caan. "It's a puppet! It's got an eye!"

I'm sure he does have a chunk of the Tardis. But he is going to have to find something to build it inside.

My vote is one of those self-flushing portable toilets. Or a Punch and Judy theatre. Or a sub-post office.

hold yer horses, I'm not finished the second chapter yet... (iz not portaloo, no)

is it a tent? one of those small ones with a cow print on that they sell in Millets?

or is it a walk-in market stall selling hand carved wooden furniture? I went past one of those the other day and thought it looked promising.

or a motability scooter with a raincover on?
