I watch doctor who! Sometimes. It lives on my Hard Disk and I watch it on there! Really nice series I must say!

It's "all" on my hard drive. Every once in awhile I like to watch a classic episode.


I'll download the newest episode before its on BBC America and watch it a few hours before it premiers and then watch it again on BBCA.

I'm pretty sure that the Ponds departure is while going to be sad since they are leaving and at the same time going to be a "happy ending" of sorts.
Am I the only one who is a little happy about this?

I mean I didn't really like them companion wise compared to Donna and while the new doctor can grow on you although I still prefer the 10th more but I do like the 11th more than the 9th, I find the companions were more hit and miss this time

No, i wouldnt say your the only one. I think it's high time for them to move on, but its still going to be sad to see them finally leave
True. Still unfortunately I wasn't able to like the Ponds more otherwise I would be a little more sad when they leave I mean when Donna left to me was horrible cause I felt she really fit well traveling with the Doctor but with the Ponds I mean it feels more of them just being there to keep him company instead of really being his friend.

Not saying Donna was better as a companion but it just that the Ponds wasn't that interesting to me.

I find myself completely unable to watch Season 1 of the revived series. Christopher Eccleston feels a little bit "wooden" to me, I didn't watch much of that season... perhaps one day I'll have one more look at it.

Well it did have a short number of episodes so maybe he didn't have a chance to ease into the character yet.

I actually liked Eccleston and wish he would have stuck with the part for at least a second series. One was just not enough for him to make the character his own.

What exactly happened to Rose, when she saw the Tardis' core? What were those powers, and how exactly did she survive? My listening skills aren't the best unfortunately, so yeah, what exactly did the conversation at the end reveal?
She absorbed the Time Vortex which basically meant she could do whatever she wanted, she survived because the Doctor then absorbed it from her (saving her life), and instead of dying (as he "should" have done after absorbing the Vortex), he regenerated, "tricking" death.

What's sad is that Matt Smith pretty much confirmed he'll be leaving the series after the 2012/2013 season.

http://www.tgdaily.c...ving-doctor-who

This pretty much means that the current Doctor is going to die by the end of this season and it will mark his 11th regeneration (12th incarnation).
No he didn't.

There was one tabloid last month that reported so, but it's entirely false, misquoted, and he has no plans to quit yet.

(Also, not only is that story invalid, it's from last October)

You need better sources.

Been rewatching from series 1 and honestly looking back I kinda miss the darker personality doctor. Matt is good but his doctor seems a little too goofy and it was really downplaying the last of the time lords thing when compared to 9th and 10th.

Can't always be gloomy, plus it's been 300 years since all of that.

Also, darker personality aspects are present in episodes 2 and 3 of series 7. Have you got to that point yet?

I seen all of them, just rewatching for the fun of it :)

I'm not expecting him to be gloomy but he is more goofy than before which I found a little out of place seeing as he just said goodbye to Rose and was sad just before regenerating and then the next time you see him he is happy and joyful then settling on goofy a few episodes later. While series 7 got darker he was a little more series but overall he seemed to be largely unaffected by this seeing how he is in episode 4 but this might just be me though. I consider 9 and 10 to be more fun and adventure seeking but not goofy as they are usually quite serious but with a smile while 11 tends to try and be goofy all the time.

Mercurial attitudes. You can experience all sorts of emotional pain and manage to outwardly appear fine.

Once a regeneration sets in and it changes your personality, you can change your emotions very quickly. Every incarnation behaves differently.

I know but I do miss the more serious doctor. Hopefully things change when the Ponds leave and I'm kinda hoping the new companion will be awesome and not Amy-like otherwise it'll be a letdown.

He always seems much darker and more serious when Amy and Rory aren't about, so I'd say it's likely he'll be that way when they are gone for good. Although I personally quite like Smith's more lively portrayal of the Doctor. But it does need to be balanced with a bit of seriousness every now and again.
