Title: Dr Who
Post by: Bugloss2009 on January 01, 2010, 20:00:10
when someone's got a spare week or three, could they please explain what the *&(*^^*^( that was all about?

as a PowerPoint Presentation would be nice, or a PhD thesis

nice to see lovely Rose Tyler again, but she's not a patch on Sarah Jane Smith

I've recorded it to watch alone to enjoy every last minute . I don't care if it's confusing I think David Tennant is splendid and the writing superb.Often when I chat to my teenage grandson at a later date things become clearer.So can't wait to see it ,it's like opening a lovely box of chocolates delicious......Oh you've got me salivating  :P :P ;)

My granddaughter loves it, and loves David Tennant, she's not so keen on Alan Titchmarsh, but I love him (only joking).  I call it Dr Poo, which makes her very, very cross.

Haha!

I cried, the girls cried, I think even the OH had a tear in his eye. It was when he said "I don't want to go"  :'( :'( :'( :'(

R.I.P the David Tennant Doctor and his fab fab hair.  :'(

Freya said she didn't like the new doctor and I said "Oh, so won't you be watching it anymore?" She said "Yes, but....I won't like it."

I'm with Freya! ;) I've been watching this since it started in the 60s but I did love David Tennant's rendition. He, Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker are tops IMHO.

I think the new doctor looks to much like tennant it would have been nice to see a more mature doctor.

I was rather disapointed when the Star wars type sequence came on, but the rest of it was good.

I will miss David Tennant as the Doctor, so far hes been my favourite.

I remember being very scared and watching Dr Who from behind the sofa when I was a kid. ;D

Aww, sort of watched the second part again tonight and the Best bits programme afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed it. Takes me back to when I use to hide  behind the chair with my brother when we were kids watching Dr Who!

I think they will be hard pushed to better the current Dr Who

The OH wants Russell Brand as the Doctor or as the Assistant ::) ::) (more likely to be a monster in my books)

Had to watch it twice to fully understand what was happening.

Did get all teary-eyed towards the end.   I though David Tennat was brill as the doctor (even though I had some reservations about him at the beginning).

I will give this new bloke a chance though.

CC

ps. on the down side regarding DT leaving - I did think they made it too long, it would have been better if he'd gone out with more of a bang, like Christopher Eccleston.

Got around to watching the last part yesterday. have to day that while it was a good episode it wasn't quite what i was expecting and left me feeling rather bemused to be honest. I thought the final scenes leading up to the regeneration were too long and drawn out. I would have preferred a more immediate regeneration after the radiation poisoning. Going around to see all the old friends one last time was unnecessary in my view.

[spoiler]Plenty wrong with the return of the Time Lords too. Didn't like the fact that they had become 'bad' in the time war in the first place and even then i thought they were got rid off far too soon and far too easilyafter all the big build up. The 'ascension' business was far too 'Stargate' for my liking too.[/spoiler]

Not sure what to make of the new doctor either. When he was first introduced my reaction was something along the lines of a 'WHAT the (expletive deleted)'. he looks far too young to be the doctor. My other reaction was 'Emo Doc!'  I thought they had made the wrong choice then and I an still not convinced now after seeing the new doctors entrance at the end of 'End of Time 2'. Not even sure if i want to continue watching the series although i suppose i will have to give it a go just to see if i wrong.
