Doctor Who Discussion (All Forms, Spin-Off Series Welcome)

They would never really do the Doctor with no companion. They could, however, do like Tennant's last few where there was a different companion every "episode" or two. I'm crossing my fingers for the return of Bernard Cribbins.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jackson Lake or Lady Christina de Souza return.

Wilferd Mott could be fun though I think he is more of a Tennant companion, plus he had a good ending. It would have to be a cool episode for him to come back.

Lady Christina de Souza

Yes. Yes, this. A thousand times this. Her dynamic with the Doctor (Tennant, at least) was quite good and if we're still on the subject of eye candy...

I don't know how they would go about bringing David Morrissey's character back, though. He's also apparently pretty well known over there so that might be a bit expensive.

Wilfred Mott was sort of a Tenant thing since he kept coming back in his Christmas specials. They sort of missed the chance not to continue him with Smith but he was just so cool. They could make a Wilfred Mott spinoff series and I would watch it.

I've been on another binge, introducing LQ to the good Doctor. We're already up to School Reunion, and she's begging to know what happens to Rose.

Hey, awesome, I'm watching it at home and I'm at the Idiot's Lantern, so only a few episodes ahead. But this is the first time I have been watching it in order, before I only watched it sporadically when it was on TV.

[SDragon]

Idiot's Lantern was a good one. LQ is noticing the mentions of Torchwood more than she was with Bad Wolf, but she was expecting an arcword by then, and she already knew that "Torchwood"-- whatever that may be-- existed.

Just finished The Satan Pit.

[Ninja D!]

The Satan Pit and Impossible Planet were two of the more legitimately creepy episodes to me. I blame the Ood.

Found this picture on the web. I think it's totally awesome that Dr. Who gets to jog around with the Olympic Torch!

[Ninja D!]

There's a petition to get David Tennant, dressed as the Doctor, to light the flame at the Olympic games, just like he did in the episode "Fear Her".

[Superfluous Crow]

Yeah, they are name-dropping Torchwood a lot throughout the second season. Just watched the second season finale yesterday. Overall, I think the three arcs of the second season are really good. The finale is genuinely sad, and yes, the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit are creepy as hell. Freaking Ood. They are lovely monsters though.
In fact, those two might be some of my favorite episodes so far, together with the Empty Child arc from season 1. The girl in the fireplace is also pretty great in my opinion, the twist at the end is superb. I didn't like Love and Monsters though. I don't mind the alternative setup, but the monster was just too damnably silly.

This year, at CONvergence, I will absolutely be taking part in the Dalek Poetry Slam. I welcome any suggestions for material.

Very much this.

We're into season (series?) 3, now. Daleks in Manhattan is our next episode. Also, apparently the word "Daleks" warrants a squiggly red line. How odd...

What happens to the Doctor when he goes to Comic Con?

He gets an upgrade!
