View Full Version : New Doctor Who

First look at the new Doctor Who! Matt Smith in costume with the new companion!

Picture have been out for a while but i was wondering what the rest of you Doctor Who fans thought...

http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/matt-smith-in-costume-as-the-new-doctor-who.jpg

I have to say i like the new costume a lot.

Fashion aside i can't wait for the series seeing as Russell T Davies is being replaced by Steven Moffatt, who, in my opinion, has written nearly all the best episodes of the show since it came back on air.

Roll on Spring 2010.

And the redhead looks rather yummy as well.

Anyways. I've always preferred Moffat to Davies. If he ain't pushing some homosexual agenda, Davies is peddling hyperbole. Moffat, on the other hand, has always produced the best episodes, such as "Blink."

When are these other specials with Tenannt, appearing?

End of December for last episodes from what I understand.

As for the new doctor, I will happily give him a chance. I've only seen the reboot of Doctor Who, so really only experienced 2 Doctors. 1st Doctor I was really into by end of Series 1, and then Tennant came along and I don't know anyone who isn't in love with him. Will it be a rough change, yes. I imagine that's what has happened in the past with other Doctors. Can't expect the exact same thing or show, and if you are looking for that I think you'll be disapointed especially since it's a new era

Tennant was great as The Doctor, even at times when he was working with a rubbish script. And unfortunately there was a lot more rubbish scripts than good scripts during the RTD era.

I'd say that Matt Smith is a very lucky boy being the Doctor during Steven Moffats run, because , fingers crossed, he won't have to worry about shite storylines.

The old ones are so vastly different, I'm not really sure you could qualify them as "better".

They're certainly a hell of a lot more slowly paced. And cheaper looking.

I enjoy the stories more though. Feels more tense where as these days its rushed. 'Better' is just a matter of opinion. Lets just say 'i prefer them' instead. But i'm not sure they would fit these days.

Tennant was a high point for Doctor Who, it will be interesting to see how it goes from here. I have a feeling that the stories might be a little better but the acting not quite as good. Will be watching though and hopefully we will get some more quality television.

We ain't getting it here in the States for another couple weeks. But judging from the previews I've been seeing, EVdI seems to be right on. More edgy and serious. Doesn't seem to be uppity and caffeine loaded like Tennant's character was. Which I loved.

Finally just finished watching End Of Time and I must say that it was freaking great! Also watched a few of the specials over the weekend and thought they were pretty good too like the Waters Of Mars it was well done.

Just saw this episode last night and I'm loving this doctor. I missed out on most of Tennet's run, just couldn't find the time to watch I guess, so this is a fresh start for me. I really really loved how mad and insane he was to begin with then after he settled down, developed his own...twist to being the Doctor. Matt Smith definitly brought something very new the table and I for one love it. Also, forgive me if this has been brought up but the pinball effect to get to the nurse who worked in the Coma ward....is that a new power? If it is I love it.

I can't wait for more...and the Companion for this series is HOTNESS!

Alright guys I saw the series 5 premier last night and I must saw I rather enjoyed it but I'm not so confident on what is to come going by the previews. I'm really getting the impression that there trying to appeal to a younger audience which isn't necesserily a bad thing as I rather like the Doctor's new companion. Smith seems to be very competent in the role and I can already say that I prefer him over a few of his predecessors.

I've now caught up and must say I was a little disappointed in the 3rd episode particularly in the conclusion at least to some degree. That of course being the return of the new Mighty Morphing Power Daleks but at least there back I suppose wouldn't be the same without them. The following 2 parter was better than what I expected after seeing the previews for it heh so know we know why the Tardis makes that patented sound.

05-03-2010, 07:50 PM

I don't know who James Corden is so I wasn't distracted at all, really enjoyed this week, although i think the kissing greeting was a bit OTT - The doctor has been studying humans for 900 years, I'm sure he knows to shake hands when meeting someone new. Just that little thing annoyed me, otherwise a pretty solid episode.

And as you said, next week looks bloody good.

Kind of agree with Downunder, for most part Doctor never seems to have troubles know what era he is in and acting normal for that era. Seemed like they tried to make him more quirky than he is with it all. Was a decent episode, another character driven one as opposed to focusing on the monster of the week.

This past episode was better than I thought it would be can't help but wonder who the pilot of the other Tardis was. The way they got out of the whole situation though could have been handled a bit differently. The next episode looks like it could be really great Daleks, Cyberman, Pandora's Box oh my!

Gotta be honest, I'm absolutely loving this series. Matt Smith has been awesome.

Yeah, I have absolutely no complaints about Matt Smith. The first episode I expected to be thinking about David; but it never really happened at all. Matt seemed to be a fairly natural transition for me. More so than when David took over I think; though then I didn't have a long break between series 1 and 2 as watched it on DVD.

Enjoyed it back to building th main story around a solid episode although I think they could have left out the football bit. I guess it did build to something but I hate watching football in any kind of television programme or film because it is usually so lame. Next episode looks like it's going to be big.

AMYYYYYYYYYY

Enjoyed that episode a lot. Next week is the series finale? Always thought this weeks was, but seems theres an episode next week too...

I have to wonder, did River Pond intentially shaft the Doctor so he would be the one encased in the Pandorica, or was it mere coincidence?

I think that must be the ultimate ending to the first part of a double bill. Yeah universe is gone...how will the Doctor get out of this one? Find out next week. I watched it on BBC iPlayer where they didn't show you a trailer for next week, did they on the main broadcast? It was actually better for me that I didn't see a trailer.

Enjoyed the episode, maybe not as much as I expected going in but still was a fan. Not a fan of shows that solve cliffhangers within 5 minutes of the next episode so started a bit rough for me I suppose. Def excited for more.

Pfft, try sitting next to a 6 year old trying to explain why there's 2 Doctor's and then trying to explain time travel to a detailed level.

Liked the finale, although felt the set up was better than the pay off.

The finale I though was rather good but the whole loophole of bringing him back was rather unique if not outlandish but still all in all it was as enjoyable. It was really nice to see the trio back together only to get back into the swing of things so it looks like there sticking together for another season at least. Now I'm already psyched to see the conclusion of the larger story arc as it hasn't really appeared to have truly ended ugh Christmas is way to far off dang it.

I wonder how long he was sitting on that something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue line. It was quite fantastic in a very simple way. I enjoyed the episode even more when I watched it again and to be honest I bet if you re-watched the series again that itself would be even better. The scene from the weeping angels that was shown as the Doctor on his rewind was quite amazing and you would have to be eagle eyed to notice that he was wearing a jacket while the other doctor who was there at that present time was not. What a fucking amazing series this was. Loved it.

Just rewatched "Amy's Choice" seems really weird him "blowing up the Tardis" to get out of the dream, kinda wondering if that will have anything to do with the storyline or if it really was just a way to escape the dream/one off episode...

He seems to keep coming up as a possibility, but I have no idea why. There's absolutely nothing that points to him that I can see.

Must just be the fan theory of the moment.

Could be but I still wouldn't count it out the voice in this vid sounds an awful lot like Davros though if you ask me and I highly doubt it will be The Master, a previous love intrest, or get this HIMSELF.

It wasn't in that vid but if I remember right in was in the Pandorica Opens episode while River Song is trying to pilot the Tardis i'll try to see if there's a clip of it somewhere.

Unfortunately unlike some of you lot, I've never considered simply downloading upcoming episodes, so I've been watching this series on a weekly basis on the BBC network instead. However, it hasn't been all bad since it has allowed me to re-watch the previous Doctor's adventures, and it's given me insight to how much the writers of this series have revamped their infamous character:

This new Doctor began the series with a slight case of amnesia, and as such lacks the universal all encompassing knowledge that the previous Doctor had. While it can be frustrating at times (particularly when it takes the Doctor practically the entire episode to figure out a solution), it does give a fresh take on the character, and in a way allows us the audience to experience certain things alongside the Doctor rather than simply being told a story.

On the subject of interactions I also notice how this new Doctor seems to have more of a connection with humans. Even though David Tennant's Doctor did show compassion and even admiration for the human race, you could tell that their was always a distinct line between human and time lord. This is of course being said with the exception of that whole "DoctorDonna" arc, where that line obviously becomes blurred. Once again I suppose this is just the writers way of making the Doctor more relatable.

I agree with XCaliber, the voice on that transmission does sound a lot like Davros, but with regards to the fact that the individual is somehow controlling the Tardis makes me lean more towards it being the Master. I actually think I'll forgo the expedience of the internet in favor of waiting a week for the finale, as it allows for more interesting theories and discussions such as this.

Okay, I finally got around to watching the finale and really found it to be a bit Mad Hatterish. That is to say (as already commented on) it didn't make sense at some points, and even though it does somehow come together, I feel as though it was a bit rushed at the end. Like they could have done more with what they were building up to. Having a big name villain show up would have been nice, but I suppose the writers are leaving such an encounter for later in the series.

In the long run I enjoyed how it ended up and am looking forward to the next season.
