All right, I'm a nerd and late to the party on this one. Why didn't someone previously sit me down and explain the sheer awesomeness that is Christopher Eccleston? Perhaps they could have just explained the humour of David Tennant? Maybe warned me that watching "Doomsday" is not possible without tissues?
Since I'm completely caught up and have been enjoying the episode fairies delivering new ones into my inbox, since this board didn't have a thread for it, I thought, damnit, Doctor Who desrves one!

Torchwood

Actually, my whole theory to do with the Face of Boe's prediction has to do with Torchwood. More specifically, Jack's desk on Torchwood.
I posted this theory months

I posted this theory months ago and look at that, I wasn't far off was I?

I don't think there is enough people out there watching Doctor who.
Seriously, am I the only one
Theoriginalspy on Sat, 2007-06-02 20:34
Seriously, am I the only one on here who watches this show? Was I the only one who witnessed the awesome spectacle that was "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood?"
Please, it was a great plot, great acting and a ton of philosophy and metaness. Really -- isn't that exactly what we all watch the show for?
That's it, if no one on here is going to gush with me, I'm taking this to my blog.
Sorry, Spy...
Schuyler Lola on Sun, 2007-06-03 17:41
Nope. Don't watch it. My father is forever saying that I should, but as teenager, I can't listen to my parents. Right?
Although, I might have to watch it now...
when I have nothing else to do
Bobbi Ratley (not verified) on Sun, 2007-06-03 21:40
my boyfriend loves it but I only watch it once in a while but SciFi isn't always my thing
Don't think of it as sci-fi!
Theoriginalspy on Mon, 2007-06-04 19:15
Don't think of it as sci-fi! Think of it as adorkable social commentary!
The Idiot's Lantern: Media Control
The Satan Pit: Religious debate
Father's Day: The importance of the average man
Dalek: No one in a war is ever good, no matter what they believe.
Human Nature / Family of Blood: The ode to the average life / bravery of the common man.
Think of it that way and you'll be much more intellectually stimulated.
People! Master!
Theoriginalspy on Sun, 2007-06-17 20:06
*Bangs head against the desk*
All right, RTD, you must be hanging out with the fandom online, because this is exactly what everyone thought would happen.
The master's back! Why am I still the only one on here squeeing about this?

I just wanted to let you know I changed by DVR back so it would recorde Doctor who again and I spent part of my weekend catching up just for you :)
W00T!
Theoriginalspy on Mon, 2007-06-18 15:06
Yay! A convert! I'll go through the entire interweb one at a time if I have to!
I will try to help you

8 & midnight
Theoriginalspy on Mon, 2007-06-18 19:36
CBC is starting their Doctor Who run tonight. They're starting out of order with "Smith & Jones" at 8 and then "The Runaway Bride" (Starring a redhead other than Julia Roberts) is at midnight.
For those of you who do not know the joy that is Rose, tonight's episode is an excellent introduction to many of the concepts of The Doctor -- and an excellent introduction to Martha. (Okay, so she goes downhill for a couple of episodes but hang on until "Human Nature", and I promise you, she redeems herself. Even I take back what I've previously said about her.)
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
vmars92 on Tue, 2007-06-19 14:05
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Doctor Who (I was a MESS after Doomsday), but I've only seen the episodes up to "Gridlock" and I haven't seen any Torchwood yet, so I have to wait until Amazon picks it up, so STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS!!! arghrhsgskgjnlnhrrrrrrrrrnnn!!!
By the way, am I the only one who has noticed that Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who?
I think you've just made Spy
Schuyler Lola on Tue, 2007-06-19 16:14
I think you've just made Spy incredibly happy.
Okay, Spy. I'm going to have to watch an episode. And do some research. I'll get back to you when I do.
No. Torchwood was the name
Theoriginalspy on Tue, 2007-06-19 16:56
No. Torchwood was the name the BBC "Filed" the episodes under to avoid them being gakked for the internet. Hence the series.
Oh, and Lola's totally right; the idea of another Whovian makes me very happy!
You are not the only one,
courtandspark on Mon, 2007-06-25 14:21
You are not the only one, vmars, although to be fair I didn't notice till I saw it in the liner notes of the Season 2 DVD. But sometimes I like to pretend I discovered it on my own. :P

Theoriginalspy on Sat, 2007-06-23 18:26
Oh Russell T. Davies, I'd better get the normal Tennant back next week, please! This better not be a set-up for a regeneration.
Best line:
Doctor: You fancy someone and they don't know you exist.
Jack: You too? (Looking at Martha.)
I hear you on that one, spy.
courtandspark on Mon, 2007-06-25 14:20
I hear you on that one, spy. Elderly DT is disturbing. But it can't be a regeneration, as he's signed on for Series 4.
I literally don't think I can handle the wait till next weekend and the finale.

Woohoo (Or should that be Who Hoo!)
Theoriginalspy on Mon, 2007-06-25 17:05
Another DW fan. Yay!
I don't know about this as it's giving me that whole Doomsday vibe. Although, another event like Doomsday, and I'd probably keel over dead!
Fans unite!
courtandspark on Tue, 2007-06-26 07:55
Glad to be of service! God knows I don't know anyone in real life who watches the show. :D
Same here, if this is anywhere near as heartbreaking and chaotic as Doomsday, I forsee my head actually exploding, and I feel like it will be. At least there won't be a cliffhanger... OR WILL THERE! Dum-dum-DUM. (but there probably won't be, seeing as how I don't think they could/would tie up a cliffhanger in the Christmas special.)

Theoriginalspy on Tue, 2007-06-26 13:41
There are a whole bunch of theories about Utopia floating around. Considering the one year Jack goes back to, 1869,then says he settled in Cardiff, could we perhaps finally be getting some Gwen / Gweneth connection?
On the other hand, it might be RTD messing with our heads. It's even odds.
I'm sad to say I've never
courtandspark on Tue, 2007-06-26 14:20
I'm sad to say I've never seen Torchwood (it doesn't air on any channel in the states and I haven't gotten around to watching it online) so if Torchwood-related things happen, they'll be lost on me entirely.
What are your feelings on the Toclafane? If they turn out to be Daleks, I will personally beat the hell out of RTD. I feel like they're the Time Lords.

I think they're a creation
Theoriginalspy on Tue, 2007-06-26 18:13
I think they're a creation of the Master as a method of keeping control. Remember what he said to the Doctor about the Toclafane being the things of legend when Time Lords were little?
Yeah, but he also said the
courtandspark on Wed, 2007-06-27 07:48
Yeah, but he also said the truth would break the Doctor's hearts. What's more heartbreaking than evil versions of their own kind?
AHH! Frustration. I can't wait. Literally can't do it.

Starting tonight on Sci-fi!
Theoriginalspy on Fri, 2007-07-06 15:50
Yay, the Doctor is starting tonight at 8p.m. on Sci-fi, meaning the recaps start -- at 9:25 and 10:25 respectively. I'm excited!
Not that I haven't already seen the whole season. Just call me the Face of Boe (just way better looking).
I take it back
Theoriginalspy on Tue, 2007-07-10 15:07
Don't call me the face of Boe. I can't be better looking. Not that I would know that. *Cries*
Did anyone else hear that
Bobbi Ratley (not verified) on Tue, 2007-07-10 10:49
Did anyone else hear that Dennis hooper and Kylie Minogue are going to be in one of this year's episodes???
Well, Kylie Minogue has been
Theoriginalspy on Tue, 2007-07-10 15:06
Well, Kylie Minogue has been confirmed for the Christmas special and they're still negotiating with Hopper.
Doctor Who
JoeyPiner on Wed, 2007-08-08 12:28
I am surprised there is not more people watching this show I love it.
Continuity gone mad!
Doctor Who? Seriously though, I love the new series, er, serieses, but I wish they would lean slightly less on the callbacks to previous serieses as 1) I haven't watched them 2) only big British geeks have 3) the episodes go back for decades and decades and 4) many of them were destroyed by the BBC. That's some serious continuity to observe.
But still love it, the anglophile that I am. Best part, ridiculous voiceovers for the BBC on the credits. "Doctor Who is back to it's later time next week at 7:40. Stay tunes for Pollywogs and something or another." What?
Now what about Torchwood? For all you Americans who haven't had it yet, enjoy.
