Lounge Daddy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm reading that the previous episode ended with the Doctor being "exterminated" by the daleks and regenerating? Is this so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicke Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's usually polite to preface such information with a "Spoiler Warning". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lounge Daddy Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Oh, I'm sorry, but the episode already aired. I guess some people may not have seen it yet. So, belated spoiler warning:[spoiler] The Doctor gets zapped at the end of last week's episode, and begins regenerating. (Or does he?)[/spoiler] But if this is true, then the BBC did a good job of hiding the fact that a new doctor was coming. I thought the BBC stated that David Tennant had signed on to 2010. Was it a ruse? Or is David Tennant still on as Doctor, and the "regeneration" is the ruse? Edited July 1, 2008 by Lounge Daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I watch Dr. Who on Sci Fi Channel. I also used to watch it back in the 1970s and 1980s on PBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 7th grade I couldn't decide if I should do a book report on a Dr Who book that I had read, or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. hehe. And yes I did get teased for that. I never knew of anyone else who even knew who Doctor Who was until I met a few other nerds with similar tasts in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I started watching Dr. Who when Jon Pertwee was the Doctor, but my favorite Dr. Who was Tom Baker. I saw the earlier Doctors in repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Oh wow. When I started it was Peter Davidson. Kinda cool that his daughter really is the doctor's daughter now, eh? Hey--Tom Baker is my favorite too! My least fav is Colin Baker. Too cartoonish, over-the-top, and very "forced" acting. Who is your least fav, if you have one?

Apotheoun Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I was never a big fan of either Peter Davidson or Colin Baker, but I came to like the former more than the latter. If I remember correctly Colin Baker appeared in the FOX tv Dr. Who movie, which I thought was pretty good, but it never turned into a series.

Apotheoun Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) I actually like the present Dr. Who (David Tennant), but I was surprised that they had the Doctor regenerate so quickly after the series resumed in 2005. I like Tennant better than Eccleston, although I liked Eccleston's performance overall. Edited July 4, 2008 by Apotheoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Just saw this at [url="http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/07/casual-fans-gui.html"]Wired.com[/url]: [quote]That brings us to "Journey's End" -- Davies's last episode as writer, executive producer and show runner. He's already crafted a shocking cliffhanger -- a "what if" scenario that's caused an uproar among fans and in the press. Those fans correctly point out that the season and its cliffhanger deal heavily with alternate universes and time lines, so it's possible that the regeneration is a fake -- a trick to keep Who on the front pages of Fleet Street newspapers for the week leading up to the big finale. But that seems too cheap a trick to play on 10 million faithful viewers. Could Tennant actually be leaving? Could Davies and the BBC keep that kind of a story quiet? It's unlikely. There are ongoing reports of Tennant negotiating for as many as three additional seasons and a salary of £1.3 million. And fans already spied Tennant on the set of the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas special. But, those reports could be smokescreens. Meanwhile, all this focus on the would-be transformation of The Doctor doesn't address how our heroes will defeat Davros and the Daleks, move Earth back to where it's supposed to be, etc. And, there remain rumors and predictions that one of The Doctor's companions will die before the fight is over. As this reporter stated earlier, if this is not a trick and Davies and company really hid the departure of Tennant and the recasting of the biggest roll in British TV, the stunt would be without comparison -- a brilliant bit of broadcasting sleight of hand.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
