Dr. Who
« on: December 06, 2012, 05:20:32 AM »
Do we have any Dr. Who Fans out here? Its without a doubt one of my favorite Sci-Fi series ever and by far one of my favorite t.v shows!
Matt Smith, David Tennent, William Heartnel are my favs!
I am also getting a Tardis Mini Fridge that can hold up to a six pack of soda or you can flip the wibbly wobbly to invert the Thermo Flux Coils to invert the temperature control to Warming and heating instead of cooling so it can keep your fish fingers and custard warm!

Also a working Remote control Sonic Screw Driver and a Little Desk Dallek that moves around and will exterminate anything in its path without falling off your desk!

I grew up watching it on PBS.  The new stories are too short and fast for my taste, and while I mostly like Tennant's run and wished Eccleston's had lasted longer, I'm rather lukewarm on Matt Smith.  He's not my *least* favourite Doctor - that's still Peter Davison.  My favourite Doctor alternates between Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker - and while I used to lean more heavily towards Tom Baker, I find myself more often leaning towards Pertwee these days.  I wish I could've seen more of Hartnell and Troughton, but I like them conceptually and have enjoyed what I *have* seen of them.  I actually like Colin Baker's Doctor quite a bit, too.

And I've never cared for the new TARDIS control room designs.  There are aspects I like, but all-in-all I prefer the old designs (my favourite design being the wooden alternate control room that I think we saw in only one episode).

Die-hard fan since 1978.

Also, we tend to prefer Doctor, not Dr, but that's me splitting hairs.

And one of these days I'll actually update my Doctor Who website again!

I've been a fan pretty much since 1973, although I must confess to losing interest around the Sylvester McCoy era.

At first, I didn't know what to make of dr.who, early episodes
seemed kind of long winded and political. But after seeing more episodes,
there are gems out there. Just have to find 'your' Doctor'.
I like Hartnell, Troughten, now Matt Smith seems cool.

The Time Machine, props are abstract, also was the British show" The Prisoner'.
maybe it's the way they do things?

It is Star Trek for people that like to exercise their minds more.

Its a combination of the way they do things and the fact that they had very little money to do it with at the time.

A brand-spanking new TARDIS interior will be revealed in the Christmas special. I'm not posting the image here in case some don't wish to be spoiled. The rest of you, feast your eyes via this link!

New TARDIS console-room, revealed!

Link incorrect and when corrected the post was pulled.  :(

However there are pics out there.  Very retro Who.

Also sounds as if Sir Ian McKellen is doing a voice roll in the Christmas Special.

I like it, definitely a retro feel to it.  State of the art, circa Space 1999 ;)
