Doctor Who - 04-05-08

The new season just started tonight. And there was a lot of uproar about Catherine Tate being the new companion. Personally I can't stand her and don't find her funny. I was fully prepared to be disappointe and had resigned myself to listening to her screeching for 50 minutes every Saturday.

It just ended. And I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. She was actually entertaining, and for once The Doctor of my generation has a companion that isn't just there to further a romantic sub-plot or as eye candy.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Any show that has babies made from human fat has to kick ass.

I was equally surprised and totally loved it

she didnt do too much of her annoying screaming shit, and hopefully it'll be a great series.

thank god they're going to break it up with martha and rose in this series so it won't just be her.

hopefully jack will arrive too.

I thought it was fantastic. You have to wonder if maybe they listened to the feedback and toned her down a bit. She was great.

Did you catch Torchwood last night?

nope. i think someone in the house DVD'd it though.

proper fucked off that they screwed around with the nights. why? why did they have to?

i could leisurely watch an episode on bbc2 and then on 3 each week, so as not to worry about missing part of the program.

also missed the last sarah connor.

Dunno. But I imagine the competition with football was playing a bit of havoc on the ratings.

So you don't know what happened then?

You should get BBC iPlayer.
It's must-see.

As far as I recall, you posted a YouTube video or something. It's not our responsible to check the content of those kinds of sites. It's their responsibility to police their own site.

In other words, it's up to you to find your own Doctor Who stream. The internet is a big place.

If you're talking about "The Sarah Jane Adventures" that's been out since early 2007 and is a kids show aired on CBBC.

"The series will also air on Sci Fi in the USA beginning on April 11th 2008"

The time you spent attempting to circumvent what I've already stated as fact, you could have found half a dozen streams.

A ***SPOILERS!*** warning would have been appropriate for this thread! Luckily, I read only a bit of the first post... we don't have the new season available yet here. It's not nice to ruin it for others.

There aren't any spoilers in this thread. If you didn't already know Catherine Tate was the new companion, you've been living under a rock for the last year.

You also talked about babies made out of fat, but then that isn't really any weirder than anything else that's made it on the list of alien encounters for the show.

Now that's it has finally aired here in the states, this thread might see a bit more life.

I'm not sure how long Tate is going to be his companion, but it was interesting seeing Rose back in the picture...briefly, anyway.

I found the episode to be damn entertaining, but the whole evil nanny nursmaiding fat babies was...meh, a little retarded. Still, at least now I know what happens when you put two sonic devices in contact with each other.
