Sea Devils And Die: GeroniMoffat's Doctor Who In The 2010s

The Christmas Ep is premiering in the US on Christmas Day on BBC America.

My in-laws don't have BBC America, and I won't be at home to torrent it. :(

should be scr33ning in Au5tra1!a on Λߢ1 just a few hours after UK premiere, too (ie on B0><!ng Day)

why not post the cold o. and Hardwick too, suzy?

Just worked out who Matt Smith reminds me of - around the 3:50 mark he's the double of Chris Packham.

ok now i'm just worried about how far they're going to run with the Christmas Carol thing

I'm excited! Maybe a good Christmas story instead of some tarted up effects-fest with tardis car chases and robots playing trombones and crazy bobbins everywhere

they can run as far as they like with it, looks like fun

so long as it is not full of angelic suffering children w/ huge eyes being sad, i hate that shit

also: rory still dressed as a centurion: what

Amy's still dressed as a police woman as well.

angelic suffering children w/ huge eyes being sad

Oh god this. They were in like every episode of the Rusty years.

Rusty's gone people! it's a new dawn! celebrate it!

happy birthday Doctor Who

Going to be holding a 47th Anniversary Celebratory-type Shindig in Portland tonight! Screening some fun for the rest of the pub

Matt Smith interviewed on Nerdist podcast this week. Good stuff!

I'm really new to Doctor Who; I've watched a few episodes this season and really liked them, for example I liked the episode where the Daleks were "built" by a scientist under Winston Churchill to fight the Nazis. It's really dorky but really well written stuff and Matt Smith is cool in it. Surprisingly easy to get absorbed in the plots of the episodes too.

Cool, glad you like it! Funnily that Dalek ep is one of the worst regarded of the season by Who heads.

Listened to that Matt Smith interview. No spoilers, natch, but he did say that "something is very wrong with Amy Pond", which I'd guess is related to last season's finale and the whole "time can be rewritten, people can't" thing.

Matt, Karen and The Moff have been a bit more specific and a bit more spoilery in other interviews so the spoilerphobic might want to be careful what they read from here on in.

Have read no spoiler, but can piece stuff together from Amy and Rory appearing as per their fancydress photograph in the trailer.

Ha, really? I am really new to the show, so... but I liked it because it was so cheesy (the Winston Churchill stuff) and because I had heard about the Daleks for so long that it was a funny way to jump on board. I also liked the ep on vampires in Venice.

Is she going to be a god/time lord as well? ffs.

i still haven't quite got over Rory just staying in the Centurion clothes for 200 years or however long it was

More believable than 90% of Rusty's stuff tbh.

She'll never karate kick a Myrrka again. ;_;

Centurion clothes were durable Nestene plastic, hard-wearing and resilient

Trivia Fans: In the BBC America version of the finale, they edit out the bit in the Pandoricum video where Rory/The Roman Soldier is seen pulling the Pandicorum out of the exploding warehouse during The Blitz.

good!

Bum: Nicholas Courtney has died (the Brigadier)
Was hoping he'd get a better return than the half-arsed Sarah Jane appearance

This makes me terribly sad, but his "comeback" in Battlefield was pretty awesome. RIP, Brigadier.

Aw man, r.i.p.

"You were supposed to die in bed!"

RIP

Godspeed, Greyhound 1.

Seeing posts near the beginning of thread about Mat smith as ugly-hot. I can't get over facial similarity to Frankie Stein (from Whoopee British comic) though mixed with something a lot better looking.

Sad to hear there's still another 2 months before Dr Who returns. Is it split into 2 6 week series this year?

Did I miss anything in only getting one of the Guardian Dr Who audio discs? Will I ever listen to the one I got?

Apparently it's unfinished - the commercial release, when it comes, will be smith and gillan. But gillan's not recorded her bits yet, so the freebie version just has some stand-in actress reading her parts. Which, to be fair, might make it better anyway.

BOOM

:( rip brigadier

The Brigadier was always my favourite foil for the Doctor.

me too

I can't read any more about Nick, it's too upsetting.

Genuinely a chap with wings now.

this is making me tear up a little

RIP Brigadier

Love that pic aldo.

I will bring out the old S/N in his honour one more time

AROOO, this is great
