Whovians in the US, the new season begins 1 September 2012. The Time Lord request your presence.
Playing Rugby or being sick does not count as a reason. I have no idea when the season starts in west
or eat Europe but your time is near. Beware of the hour for it is near. The Daleks are watching.

For some reason I never really warmed up to David Tennant's Doctor, even though I really like him as an actor and thought he was a lot of fun in his earlier episodes. With Matt Smith, it was the exact opposite, I really like how he made the role his own (the writing helped).

I've encountered Tennant in various Science Fiction movies or series and all were poor small scripts
written and I thought he was hideous. He often stuck his tongue out when he was nervous and left
a bad impression. When I saw him in Dr Who I sighed oh noo. Amazingly he's embraced the role and
changed my opinion of him. A candid BBC interview helped my impression of him too. To date Tennant
receives higher kudos and recognition but the applause is now for Matt.

Matt Smith on Dr Who was a big challenge at first but I think he's brilliant. He's quirky and full of spark.
His pick was very spot on. I've seen him in a movie with Eva Green ( 2010 ) , I'm impressed with his range.

 I loved Christopher Eccleston too. Hopefully he has a guest spot as a past Doctor some time.

I wish Rose had ended up in a better place. Even a badass alongside Gwen on Torchwood.

BTW, was not aware Queen Victoria ( not the the house Windsor ) was a werewolf . Explains the haemophilia (?)

Well congrats Pond and Rory, take care of River Song :D

The first season was pretty odd to watch, the production values were quite poor...but hanging in there pays off.

          It was quite dubious if not solely based one one's imagination I know. Since I'm such a nerd it appealed

          to me quickly. I began with a Christmas special then paid closer attention as BBC America broadcasted the

          shows. I was hooked immediately on Torchwood though , I'm a big Jack Harkness fan.

Not arguing your choice of Doctor, that one totally belongs to you, BUT you also mentioned a crush on
Cybermen that could no go unnoticed. M'lady YvyB , the Daleks are more more crush worthy than all
the fiends I think, but lady Cassandra, the Last Human on planet Earth truly believes that she is crush
worthier than any. I tossed your name in the basket my dear, apologies if she proves not. However
complaints will have to be taken up with her agent/ moisturizing team . I believe they are located west
of the Isle of Faces and beyond Regeneration Lake :D

:D gotta love 'um. Didn't you watch that episode ( Christopher Eccleson) The Doctor and Rose encounter
the last Dalek ( owned by wealthy & corrupt American businessman ) that took a liking to Rose and
spared her. Really charming episode. Daleks can be lovable which trumps any as crush worthy ) IMHO !
Peace and love anyways earthling .

Nope, there's a all weekend marathon for catch up , then the new season begins at 8pm. It's only
4: 20 pm Pacific Time. Time for tea now, I'm gonna take a break. Hope you liked the first episode
because you guys are hours ahead. Chow !

Well that was an emotional way to kick off Season 7. Wonder when and how

Spoiler
 

Have you seen the preview for future episodes at the end? David Bradley's character looks exactly like the Late Lord Frey.

Macha for real ! (?) she was great and I teared up a little when I saw her as the doctor saw her
( if I'm correct about the actress ). If you're posting about the smart and pretty actress who
becomes a Dalek???? If so it must be some timey whimey stuff going on as usual. I was
hoping she would be the new girl. I'm a bit tired of Pond ( yes I said it !), I liked the little
redhead girl more. Anyway all my angst remains for River Song's return.

The Doctor is a rather kickass dude lately.

Question, should we use spoiler tags in this thread for rumours, press releases and so on? I'll continue to do so until I know for sure.

Wildseed -

Spoiler
She seems pretty cool, doesn't she? Liked her a lot.
Spoiler
While I love Rory, I never warmed up to Karen Gillan's Amy. Haven't heard anything about Alex Kingston though, and I don't think I've seen her in any of the previews for S7.

Thanks for the heads up Macha and I agree with you for all points. Perhaps in all of the Television
Section we should note Spoiler Disclaimer until the day or so following the airing.

I started a Still Reading Book Topic for ASOIAF Newbies that must list page and premise before
posting an exchange of words. Spoilers were not discouraged but everyone put on notice

Walder Frey on a spaceship full of dinasaurs. If BBC can afford this they certainly can, with HBO, afford mammoths and giants with everything else.

Is anyone curious about the fact that it's the Indian Space Agency that is saving Earth from external threats?

Russell T Davis exercising a bit of racial diversity into his scripts ??????????? I think it's brilliant if true.

 OOPPS, had a Torchwood moment there. Yes, Moffett. I do like his style and writing. Saw a few intereviews 

of him and he wrote the season's opener about the Daleks . 

Do you get " the Nerdist " show and podcast in Bucharest ?

The Nerdist? Dunno, never even looked for it. Is it good?

great show . During " the Walking Dead " broadcast season, this podcast follows on screen just
after the show. All other times the show is between seasons opposite The Graham Norton Show

The host is Chris Hardwick, an American living in London.

He's the marshall. Ben Browder from Farscape and Stargate SG-1. And it's a REAL American accent, not one of those awful fake ones we find so frequently on Doctor Who.

Well this was cheesy as hell.... and I loved it! River was back, sexy banter was on, Rory made me cry for the zilionth time, and Moffat screwed with my brain again.
It was actually a happier ending than I thought it would be.

Well, the last mid season episode has aired in California , so you all know the ending. I have always
been ambivalent about Amy and Rory , but this episode was excellent. River Song added the essential
spark ,alongside Matt Smith. It was well written and edgy modern, an old reference to New York made it
memorable and poignant. I actually got weepy, almost wanted the Ponds to stay, hope for a cheerier
ending. I felt very sad about River ( the other psychopath on the TARDIS ) and sadder still for the Dr.

Can't wait until the Christmas Special, and arrival of the new time traveler. Things are looking up already.
