That is the way of things, the way of the Whos.

I'm right with you there. You know the Myers-Briggs personality test? If you don't it places a person into one of 16 personality archetypes. I fall into five of them quite nicely. I call it being a screwed up mass of contradictions but I wouldn't have it any other way, categories are nice, but the real fun comes when lines are crossed and barriers broken.

Quote:Originally posted by aztechrome: Everything goes to DVD so quickly and cheaply these days that i wouldn't be surprised if they announced DVD release halfway through production on many projects. DVDs cost practically nothing to produce, which is why FOX was willing to take a flier and put the 'Firefly' set out there. There's always a chance of a fluke post-mortem popularity flare. Which is partially why we are all sitting on this forum, yakkin' away all merry-like. Anyway, back to topic: I like the new Dr. Who series. It's a great addition to the sci-fi lineup. Of course it's on Friday night when i go out and have a social life so i have to record it. I wish they'd stop trying to make me watch TV at 9:00 on Friday night. FOX did this to everyone with Firefly, and FOX doesn't have the patience of the sci-fi demographic. I'm glad they're following sequence, and making the good Doctor younger in his current incarnation. I like the actresses. I'll reserve comment for more info on the development of the Time Lord's plotline. I'm curious to see if they follow a more americanized format or the old rambling BBC-style shows. If you read nothing else in this post, read this: Sorry to all new fans, but: TOM BAKER is the only real Dr. Who!

Quote:Originally posted by XeroGravity: RMMC: Why did Eccleston quit the series? This is news to me.
Quote: I shelled out $100 for the DVD set of season 1 of the new Doc Who. In the space of 3 eps I grew impressed with Eccleston ~ this guy would have made a great Doc. Was hoping to see him reprise the role for the next few years. Eh. Oh well. I'm trying desperately to avoid reading anything about the season 1 eps online ~ don't want to bumble into spoilers.
Quote: Is Billie Piper (Rose) sticking around for season 2? Also, has season 2 started airing yet? I could easily find out all of this but the DVDs are en route via Next Day mail (should arrive today hopefully) and I don't want to spoilerize the fun by googling anything.
Select to view spoiler:
Quote: Anyhow... John Pertwee is my 2nd most fav Doc. Him and Baker totally owned the role. If they put a pretty-boy in to replace Eccleston I guarantee you the show is going to take a nasty turn for the worst. I'd have put Jeffrey Lyons in right from the get-go. He'd have been perfect (better than Eccleston). I'd have dressed him up in some super-tacky plaid blazer and the show would have rocked like the old days.
Quote: But we gotta rope in that "OMG the show's star is a HEARTTHROB" demographic. Same old formula as always. XG

Quote:Originally posted by Aramina: Finally I get to feel smug and knowledgeable over people in America. I spend 99.9% of my fandom avoiding spoilers, missing out on information and generally playing catch-up and now Dr Who is out over there, and I saw it all last summer, I can let out a little yipee!
Quote: I'm glad you're all enjoying it. I for one was not looking forward to watching Billie Piper acting (did y'all know she was a pop star? Google it) but I was pleasantly surprised. I never really liked Christopher Eccleston, don't know why, but I loved David Tennant in the Christmas Invasion.
Quote: What episode is it up to in America then? Have you seen Dalek yet?

Quote:Originally posted by XeroGravity: Don't mind my outrage at Eccleston bailing out. I've absorbed the shock and am adjusting (and given how many times I've seen the Doc regen in the old series, this is becoming old hat to me).
Quote: It's just an odd blow to find out yet another incarnation of the Doctor is part of the pantheon of ex-Doctors when I was just getting into the new character.
Quote: You must have been reading my mind because the minute I heard he quit I immediately figured he was afraid of being typecast.
Quote: What a fool. Look at Patrick Stewart. He threw himself, whole heart and soul, into Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in Trek's Next Gen and turned the series into a gold mine. Sure as hell didn't hurt his career as he's now a movie star. Eccleston is a great actor (as is Stewart), and really could have gone over the top with this role. Could've would've should've... *shrugs* c'est la vie.
Quote: What is "Doctor Who Confidential"? I know there is supposed to be 5 hours of behind-the-scenes that comes with the DVD set I bought.
