The Newly Regenerated Doctor Who Thread

[coolsome]

Hehe I loved Waters of Mars. But if the Doctor's plan worked and he saved that chick then wouldnt Time break?

[LuigiHann]

One thing bugged me about Waters of Mars, and really any time when the discussion of saving somebody like that comes up: Why not just take them into the future? Bring Adelaide Brooke to meet her granddaughter after the granddaughter has done all the things she was inspired to do. No major paradox, because everyone would have believed they died long enough for history to progress identically. Sure, they'd be a bit time-shocked from being pulled out of their present, but that seems better than being dead.

And yeah, I don't get why there wasn't still a major paradox at the end of Waters of Mars, since shooting oneself tends to be a lot less inspirational than dying on a mission. But whatever.

Well, I just finished "The Gunpowder Plot", and it was pretty awesome. I'm tempted to go through it again sometime and film it, and then edit it down into an episode.

Also, I received a history lecture from a silent. It was scary. Seriously, when I first saw it, I jumped a mile. I have no idea how I missed it when I entered the room...

Or did I?

[Ribs]

Apparently it's already available for purchase over here. For $10. Nope.avi.

Argh, for some reason I thought 'Colony in Space' came out this week and then I suddenly realized it wasn't and I was about to go to the local store to get it. Next week, though. SOON.

I'll be picking up the rest of the first series of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures today or tomorrow, though. And that CC subscription I've been meaning to pick up but then I decided to get more Eighth Doctor so :/. And then I'll be exactly where Friar is in both Eighth Doctor audio series, thus meaning any move further will anger him furiously! Guahahaha?

On a related note, I've now learned the subscriber bonus CD Extras for the Main Range are around half an hour each, which means I can never forgive myself if I don't get them for every possible release. Also, Nick Briggs said Eight will have a new theme next year for his new box set - I reserve the right to complain about it, seeing as we've seen a Post-Lucie Doctor in the Company of Friends and he just had the Tom Baker theme!

[Friar]

Boxset? Like the Eighth doctor collection set (that was awesome but messed up my shelving system.)?

There'll be a set featuring the Doctor after the final New Eighth Doctor Adventure, theoretically showing the latest BF intend to go with him before the Time War occurs and BF can't touch him. From what I know of To the Death, it'd certainly make sense from a character point of view.

There'll also be another set featuring the Seventh Doctor, Professor Klein (but from our universe, not the Nazi one), Raine (from the Lost Stories), and UNIT (theoretically with almost-recurring character Brigadier Bambera, seeing as she was in Animal).

The Eighth Doctor one is currently hoped for 2012 release, but may be pushed into 2013 if necessary.

Speaking of the Eighth Doctor;

Can't be any worse than the eighth Doctor's current new theme tune.....

Why must they taint everything good and pure? And by that I mean Doctor Who. Ugh.

Has anyone played the DS Doctor Who game 'Evacuation Earth'? It actually plays like a kid-friendly Professor Layton. And by that, I mean the puzzles are aimed at kids. Still fun, mind, and way better than the Adventure Games.

Too late. Almost twenty years since the show jumped the shark...

It jumped the shark for me when Ian and Barbra left.

[Ribs]

No, it jumped the shark when the sodded Space pirates put everyone to sleep!

[Comrade Pants]

My reaction to the End of Time.

[coolsome]

Sexiest couple ever.

[divisionten]

Speaking of ponies, I started working on a gift for a particular Doctor Who and pony fan mod on the boards...





Oh, wait...



Doctor pony head incoming!

And the body too!

[Friar]

Awesome! But I'm not a mod...

Also, there's now an official convention. And it almost sounds like an episode of Doctor Who: Confidential.

The Official Doctor Who Convention is the ultimate event for Doctor Who enthusiasts. With unparalleled access to the cast and crew, this event offers fans a one-off chance to immerse themselves behind the scenes of the world’s longest running sci-fi show.

No other Doctor Who event gets you closer. Delve, as never before, into the creative minds behind the hit TV show, with unique opportunities to witness experts demonstrate how the special effects and prosthetics have created some of the iconic scenes and characters. Interactive panel discussions with cast and crew, photo and autograph sessions and a show case of official costumes and props, will give every true fan the chance to celebrate and share their passion for all things Doctor Who.

Already confirmed are Matt Smith and Steven Moffat, with more special guests to be announced in the coming weeks!

Your ticket includes:

Interactive Q&A panel discussions with the cast and crew
Prosthetics & special effects demonstrations
Official props and costume displays
Official merchandise & collectables

The Official Doctor Who Convention is a one day Convention, whereby the programme of events is the same for Saturday and Sunday. Visitors are therefore encouraged to choose which day they would like to attend.

Autograph and photo opportunities with the main cast members will be available as an upgrade option on a first come first served basis.

Tickets are strictly limited to this brand new event and include unique Official Doctor Who Convention 2012 merchandise – check out the TICKET INFO page for details and to book your tickets today.

The Time Lord awaits!

Tickets are £99, which rules me out. Grumble.

And because everyone else is posting pictures:

On a shirt.

I find it funny unofficial fan conventions in America can have vastly superior guests. This coming year's Gallifrey will have the entire principal cast of the TV movie! Hopefully Paul McGann makes a video similar to the videos Peter Davison made the past two years, but going by how camera shy he is it's unlikely that he'd do it.

What, boring? Padded-out? Cancelled?

Yes, but.... I mean, I've never been to Los Angeles, but I do know what Cardiff's like. I know where *I*'d prefer to go!

[Friar]

I'd rather go to Cardiff, I think. Because Daleks on Tourist information signs are awesome.

The fact there is a slim chance of spotting the crew filming and being hired as an extra is one of the main reasons Cardiff is on my university shortlist!

LA's great. Just make sure not to go driving around randomly, wear headbands, or go to the ATM at night. Asides from that it's a fantastic place.
