Rural ? >> Discuss Dr. Who Here
I've driven through FDL, and it felt like hours.No, FDL seems like a good place. Do you like it, Zen?
Hubby was offered a job in FDL way back when but didn't take it. FDL is better than Slinger-- only lived there about 4 months. Too small for me.
Mona's lived everywhere in SE Wisconsin!
Welcome back to the internet, Zen! How's it goin?

I love FdL so far! I've got 17 acres that I have no idea what to do with but my dogs love the woods, the fields, and the two barns.Lots of birds and mosquitoes as I bushwhack the front yard back into shape.
Also, I luuuurrv to drive - so driving to the cities seems like a plus to me - day trips in all directions and lots of friends in Chicago, so I even have places to easily park my car there!

I think Larry is referring to the brief moment he spent as Doctor Who.

I go to the West Bend farmers market almost every Saturday...it rules...
You can get as upset at Larry as you want Bun, but he has the ability to go back in time and change your mind.
seems to be a blue time travel phone booth.
Mod
Thanks. And for the record, I would never consider doing any such thing.
Time to sharpen up on my timelordianism laws I guess, now where did I put that book?
I will gladly share access to the tardis.
There's room for everyone. There is actually infinite space in that blue box.
If you leave behind Larry you are a dead man. Time & space won't save you.

I also like that the Daleks can't climb stairs.
The new ones seem to have developed the ability to levitate. Stairs are no longer an issue. :(
Bah! The new ones would have their asses kicked by the little white tennis shoes of the old ones (thanks for the reminder, Bun).

Yeah David Tennant was good. But I love Matt Smith. Not in quite the same way that I loved DT. MS is brilliant.
I am not sure about the current series though. It has gone a bit x-filezy.

Amber I thought I should move the discussion here. I didn't really like the Pirate episode either. This weeks episode was very good. It was a cliff hanger though so will have to wait until next week to judge it fully.

And I'm glad you moved it to this thread, I was not aware of it's existence. I feel I will be here quite frequently from now on...
I had to do a search to find it, I knew it existed.
I am not so fussed on the Amelia Pond character. I like her but it is a little too much about her for my taste. And poor Rory. How many times does he have to die? I know that no-one really ever dies in Dr Who, but Rory is breaking all attempts trying to be the first to acheive it. :)

Rory has become the Kenny of Doctor Who; I really hope they stop fake-killing him for a while. Amy is becoming bossier lately, which is making me like her a little less, which is odd since Donna Noble was probably my favorite companion and she was REALLY bossy.
I loved Donna Noble as well. She brought something completely different to the roll. I was getting weary of the love interest thing.
Ok, so I'm getting really antsy for The Almost People. Thanks to BBC America's weird take on Memorial Day, we won't get it until June 4, even on Zune and itunes. It's a two-parter and I HATE waiting two weeks for the conclusion! Still 2 days to go, it's driving me nuts. I really liked The Rebel Flesh, especially on the second viewing, and I want to see what they're going to do with the shoes (I think we will be able to tell the two Doctors apart by the shoes they're wearing and I really want to know if I'm right!)
I am, and I really hope everyone else is too!! That finale episode was...I'll keep my mouth shut until we see if there are any more takers.
I watched it too. My daughter was especially devastated when she realised the next episode is months away...
I haven't read any Gaiman you will have to fill me in on the reference. I have American Gods at home waiting to be read.

I already hate that the series is split into two so you have to wait months for closure, and now we may only get part of series 7!
Bun: the Gaiman episode was fantastic! The only thing I didn't like was the stuff in the corridors. The inside of the TARDIS has to be way cooler than those dull tunnels made it seem. I love how The Doctor's Wife puts a new spin on all of the previous episodes; now the Doctor's landings and interactions with the TARDIS take on new dimensions when they're watched again. Stephen Moffat is blowing the RTD era out of the water. The seasons used to be rather predictable structurally (good, but still predictable) and Moffat comes a long and upends everything. It's wonderful.
Lol. (Fangirl geekery never ends). River Song is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters, and now that they have revealed who she is (!!!) I can't wait to see more of her story. One of my favorite scenes of all time is the one you mentioned Bun, with the kiss. Matt Smith's awkwardness was so endearing. I love what Moffat and Matt Graham did with the Doctor in The Rebel Flesh and Almost People, with Matt Smith having to act with himself, which he did brilliantly. They actually got Tom Baker to record the "jelly baby" line for the ganger Doctor!
I had sneaking suspicions about River too, but my brain kept saying "no, that's not possible without(view spoiler)..." and so I couldn't reconcile my intuition with all of the possibilities. And them WHAM! it all came together and it was fantastic. Time travel has so many possibilities (and so very many ways it can go horribly wrong, from a writing perspective) and Moffat just takes off with it and goes to amazing places, and yet somehow you always (mostly) end up in a place where it not only make sense, but feels right for the characters as well. My biggest complaint, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, is the whole Rory-death-of-the-week thing that was going on for a while there. I'm glad that has passed. I like Rory and I don't want his life or death to become unimportant because he gets killed/almost killed/wiped from existence once a week.

The almost-drowning in Curse of the Black Spot was really one time too many. However, I will acknowledge that Black Spot was actually skipped ahead in the order of episodes, so it may have had more impact had it aired in the second half of the series like originally planned. I'm still glad they shifted it forward though, so they were able to give the captain a cameo in A Good Man Goes to War.

I just don't want it to get to the point where you can play a "spot the dying Rory" drinking game.
I've been lurking in this thread, and I have a question to ask y'all. Who is your favourite and least favourite companion?
Favorite: Donna NobleI love that she was just the Doctor's friend and could give him attitude; she was hilarious and really sweet at the same time. She was so funny but her story ended so sadly. Plus, her grandfather, Wilf, was awesome. In fact, they would tie if he had been a long-term companion
Least Favorite: Rose Tyler
She was fine for the first season, but about midway through the second season, I was sick to death of the "I'm so jealous of everyone" routine. I was glad when she was gone and I didn't have to watch them both make sad cow eyes at each other every episode.
Anyway, I am pleased to be able to communicate again. Despite the slow speeds of my downloads.
