Bumpity bump.
I wonder what would happen if I just cut and pasted?
Amber Nelson via Doctor Who and the Tardis by Craig Hurle: WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN! And that was just last nights ep! Tonight – the (current) DOCTOR!!Since I posted the above on Facebook, a whole lot of OK Go/Doctor Who fans came up to celebrate Who-ness!
So I figured this thread needed a BUMP! (But, not like a Dalek bump)
Er. I have no actual content for this post, however. Well, the link to Craig's previous night's intro.
Youtube is blocked where I'm currently sitting. Is that the opening that Craig hoped would "leak out onto the interent" or is that the actual opening where poor Craig gets frustrated that they couldn't get the rights to the theme song?
You've probably looked at it already, since I was off the boards for a day (holy crap! miss a day...)
But it was from the previous night when Craig showed off the Dalek that was already in the studio.
I can't recall where Amber and I had the majority of our discussion about Matt's Doctor and his "old age" and things; here, there and Facebook, one presumes. I'm actually watching it again now (finally received my, very late, like 14 years late, review copy yesterday), and I don't have too much to add to your comments right now. Deadlines, you understand.
However, I love Matt. I get this Doctor. He's my second favorite Doctor (after Tom Baker, of course) as the Doctor. He's pitch perfect from the moment he peaks at Amelia from the crashed TARDIS. His personality as it becomes its own (losing a lot of 10's hallmarks by the end of the first and most by the third episode) is spot on for the character and what he has most recently been through. He's just the right mix of the contradictions for Amy too. That makes sense, because this is one of the first times that the companions are truly the center of the show. Your note that Amy is solving most of the issues is right, you know... It's only to be expected given the season's arc (but I won't talk about that in case others are not caught up..."Spoilers!"
). Beyond all that, though, I just adore Eleven. But then, I too, have/had imaginary friends!
I also get the new Daleks...I personally don't like them for the simple reason that they are not as scary as I think a Dalek should be. I do see where they come from though (the movies) and I can understand Moffat's desire to redesign them.
Now I have to go watch the Who Confidentials. And try to stop extrapolating River Song theories while I review these episodes. Those are thoughts for next Series (More Spoilers!)!
So glad you are caught up, Sunnyside!! I'll respond with more later!
(Holy crap - '12 Subscribed'? Did I miss a day or two on the boards or WHAT?)
Did any of you see this TARDIS cake? Led lights, two convex mirrors (for an impressive bigger-on-the-inside effect), gum paste, actual cakeage. Un-freakin-believable. That is some dedication right there. Or rather here.
*sigh* I read this thread, looked up Doctor Who, and next thing I know I'm finished watching season 5 and saying things to my brother when he is deciding whether to wear a tie or not such as, "You should wear a bowtie. Bowties are cool."
I never should have poked my nose in here...
Awesome things are contagious.
Mostly because I wanted her to have it, but also because I thought that she could pass on the humourous wishes to, and we could both then share the various Whovian greetings with our collective group of fellow fans on FB, Tumblr, Twitter and this board. I was obviously not timely enough.
on FB for weeks, and that Amber had sent DW VD flair my way (BTW, several things were hidden unbeknownst to me, so if you've been thinking I'm ignoring stuff, I'm not. I just wasn't getting it. It's annoying because Christine sends really good OK Go stuff!)
Anyway, my favourite DW Valentine was the one I sent to Amber, but I like this too.

Huh. Well, first unexpected upgraded board glitch. I was unsubscribed to this thread. (fixing...)
Side note - I occasionally have to email London for insurance whatnot at work. One of the dudes is a Doctor Who fan. He made a reference in the last email I exchanged with him. WIN!
Side, side note - I spoke to another of the dudes a couple of weeks ago - and that was just "OH! English accent!"
It was the Dalek candy heart. It said "X-Ter-Min-8"
WOW! Math is 11+11 and, according to my computer clock, it is 11:11. Sweet!
These 2 epis are apparently titled "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of Daleks"(?) and were aired during the 4th season methinks (around epi 3 or so?).
Sooo. my question is, do I need to do a bit more homework (read: watch more) before I jump into those two epis, or will I understand whaz going on without watching previous epis?
Thanks! :D x
those two episodes aren't very good.
I mean.. I dunno, I guess you -could- watch them and understand.. most stuff, but they're just.. well, not that good. Your first Doctor Who experience shouldn't be a bad one. xP
(Lmao, felt the need to point out that I got 1+1)
You CAN watch them without homework, they (together) can stand alone. However, you might want to start with Episode One of that Series (3, not 4, actually) so that you understand the relationship between Martha and the Doctor.
ChristelAdina said: Thx for the input guys! (: iunno. ive never been much of a sci-fi fan myself, but seeing how u guys all wax lyrical abt it, i might juz hafta give it a try (;
Maybe i'll let yallz know what i thought afterwards...
But now, for some Bambi time... ♥ x
Fandoms… colliding…
Fezzes are cool. Neil Gaiman, on stage with Damian Kulash, quoting
Doctor Who regarding the hat that Ben Folds is wearing, plus bonus
Amanda Palmer.
….Neil Gaiman, on stage with Damian Kulash, quoting Doctor Who….
And for those who are not in the know, Neil Gaiman wrote an episode of Doctor Who for series six.
Any argument you have, until the end of time and space, is IRRELEVANT FOREVER.

note: There are many Doctor/OK Go vids out there - I only present the ones that I find are of good quality. =D
Well, seems that Amy and River have a bit in common, eh?
