Aahaha! I think that this picture may just have beat my Tardis-in-a-building one ;)

If I didn't think so before, this is the best group ever :D

Tis true. We are!

@Ashley Marie

(I am also a lurker, don't worry...lol)
That is what I miss so much about Rory and Amy. They had such a great rela..."

I *HATED* Martha. Hated her. She seemed kind of pathetic to me, although I do like that (view spoiler)[she ended up with Mickey (hide spoiler)]. I also really don't like when the companion is all unrequited over the Doctor. I loved how sassy Donna was with him - they were truly friends, and I thought that was a much more powerful relationship than swooning over him!

HATED her? How is that possible!? She's smart, and kickass, and WALKED THE EARTH FOR A WHOLE YEAR to save the Doctor! And she was smart enough to realize that she wouldn't work out with the Doctor, and strong enough to walk away. I think that makes her awesome.

But I agree that Donna was my favorite, because she was just what he needed. Kept him in line, made him remember to care, had a loud mouth, was fun and funny, and adorable. God I love Catherine Tate/Donna Noble. This is why she's my favorite of them all.

If I have to have one I'd never watch again, I'd skip the seasons with Rose. I don't hate her, but she's my least favorite. The annoying love story, the annoying boyfriend, the annoying mother... ugh.

I just thought of Martha as kind of this sad puppy. She would follow this dude (even if he is a kick-butt, time traveling, alien dude) anywhere, pining over him, with no real reciprocation of her feelings.

As a general rule, though, I prefer the Moffett years to the Davies years. Davies wasn't murdery and dark enough for my tastes :X

Ummm, I'd follow that dude anywhere, pining over him, with no real reciprocation of my feelings. He's THE DOCTOR.

Plus, she didn't. She saved him, then became kickass.

But we all have our tastes.

Donna Noble > Clara > Martha > Amy/Rory > Rose/Mickey.

(Jack and River are their own separate category, as are Jackie, Wilfred, etc.)

I'd go with Donna>Rory/Amy>Clara>Rose>Martha.

Wilf is definitely the best ever, though!

Wilfred and Donna were my favorite family on there. The mom I could live without hahaha

Half way done with . Hopefully, will be done with it soon.

I liked Inferno, but it wasn't near as good as the first two!

I agree. It's not as good as the first two and the lost symbol.

I'm a third of the way through Inferno, too, and I was sort of surprised the mystery didn't seem quite as twisty this time.

Oh that doesn't bode well :( I have on audio and was getting a bit excited about choosing that for my next "listen." Maybe I'll find something else instead :)

Barb, it's still a good read. It's just not Angels & Demons good. :P

Actually, I liked and more than I liked . I think it was one of those "mood" things though; if I'd read it at a different time, I might have liked it more than I did.

A&D is by far my favorite... in fact, you can rank them in order of my favorites by their chronological order!

Morning!

Ok. So I am surprised at your level of feeling towards Martha Ashley Marie! lol! I understand what you mean, I just thought it was bad characterisation to have another companion in love with The Doctor at the end of the Rose series. That is why Donna Noble was so needed (and Catherine Tate couldn't have done a better job!)
Can River count as a companion? ;)
Then my faves would be

Donna Noble > River Song > Amy/Rory > Rose/Mickey (Jackie was sooo annoying!) > Martha > Clara

I'd love to see someone like Miranda Hart as the next companion :o

Oh and as far as Dr's go, out of the "newer series" I loved Christopher E, and I think Matt Smith is great, but David T is still my favourite. And I love listening to him in interviews and his real accent *swoon*

That's about where I am with . I'll be glad to get onto some new reads soon!

I <3 10 so much! David Tennant forever! /swoon (Didn't I just get done complaining about companions fawning over the Doctor? LOL!)

Yep... David Tennant.... hottest Doctor ever!

Lol!!

Yes, you did, AM. Yes you did. :P

You have become.... Martha.

At least I'm not Mickey or Jackie!

Ashley Marie wrote: "At least I'm not Mickey or Jackie!"

TRUTH.

Everyone have a good weekend and keep on reading!!!

Love it!

Hey Mango Tango-ians! I know you're all reading, so why not stop by our Chain Game and see if you can fit your books into our team's chain? This is just for fun, no pressure, no deadline -- just something to keep us all in touch and talking about books :)

Thanks for the link! I didn't even know about it. So many threads to keep track of *wink*

Lisa, I was lucky enough to go to a party last night where my partner dressed up as David Tennant's Doctor. He even did that thing with his hair. It was so amazing!

Yeah, I've run into that too. It gets really confusing!

Nicole we need pics!!!

I like your game. Nice idea! :)

Time Lord Steven wrote: "Nicole we need pics!!!"

As soon as they start appearing on Facebook, I will keep an eye on them to put here ;)

Barb, did we ever get unstuck over in SCC? I haven't checked in awhile!

And I have just finished , making it my 14th book towards the Tower Teams challenge! :D

Loooong book! :)

Woohoo for finishing books!

Finished and .

I think so Ashley - but I still don't have a book that will work LOL

Nicole wrote: "And I have just finished , making it my 14th book towards the Tower Teams challenge! :D"

Yay Nicole!

Awesome Nancy! Two more for Mango Tango!

It's been awhile since I've posted a completion here, yikes! Since I last "reported," I've finished

            and

I'm almost done with , but my eye issues have reared their ugly heads, and I have to stop for the night.

Thanks Barb and Steven!

Wow, it looks like many of us have finished or are near finished at least one book today :)

I think I only finished two this week... (It was 617 pages) and .

But have three half read and I know I will finish MacReive by Kresley Cole that releases on 2 July this week so that will make four for next Sunday.

PS I forgot this one too I finished on Friday.

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "PS I forgot this one too I finished on Friday."

I'll be starting that this week. So excited!

It was good, Nicole. I love the quirkiness and as someone who has read a million historical romance novels I get a kick of how she sends them up... with love.

And I have officially lost my willpower to wait and read . That's being started today too.
