Doctor Who - Spoilers!

[pixletwin]

Yup. Colin was being screwed with on all sides. Conan has it good in comparison.

 

[Kabukiman]

Day-um.

Must google this...

 

[barbelith]

It was his ex-wife IIRC.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Still long wait until April

I finally decided to watch a Colin Baker era story last night and chose "Attack of the Cybermen".

And I thought it was............OK-ish, though the number of continuity references made the story seem like bad fan fiction.

Colin's Doctor seems to have a bit more life to his character than Davison though I can see why some would dislike him but if "Attack" was a decent indication of his character throughout his run I'd still take any of his stories to a desert island with me over anything Tennant did.

After watching "The Peladon Tales" DVD box set I'll probably try "The Two Doctors" and maybe one of Sylvester's stories after that.

I liked Colin Baker because he was the polar opposite of Davison. Arrogant, belligerent and excessively violent.The Two Doctors isn't great, but he does do something shockingly un-Doctor like in it. It's worth the watch for that alone.

Yeah he didn't seem to think twice about going on the offensive which is hopefully what 11 will be like if that running uppercut he did in the series 1 trailer is any indication.

One thing that made me laugh during "Attack of the Cybermen" was the fact that the Cyber Controller had a bit of a beergut. I wonder if Character Options make the figure they'll sculpt it in?

My main reason for choosing "The Two Doctors" next is to see more of the 2nd Doctor & Jamie as there's so little left of their original run left in existence but now I've seen that Colin isn't quite as bad as I expected having read so much crap about him on various sites I'll pay attention to him just as much.

They didn't sculpt Colin's so I doubt they will.

If you're watching it for the 2nd Doctor you might be somewhat disappointed. Jamie gets plenty to do though.

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

Yeah, the Trout about halfway through starts getting some good comic stuff I've only begun appreciating in recent years because I was always annoyed he didn't do more in it hero-wise (it doesn't ruin too much to say Colin, Jamie, and Peri need to save him).

[Memnoch]

It would make sense based on the ideas that were floating around, and the one scene in the S5 trailer. Which may mean a TARDIS interior episode!

 

[barbelith]

Colin didn't have one in his first few episodes, on which the figure is based. He was quite trim!

New Series Console?

It doesn't match the lighting gel we've seen, nor the spy reports...

 

[pixletwin]

I figured the lightning in it was kind of neutral. But the general look of it seems pretty close as memnoch said.

 

[Kabukiman]

New console is all well and good, but I'm hoping we get to see some more rooms in the TARDIS sometime soon.

 

[barbelith]

No, I mean it doesn't match the images of the console room we've seen from the lighting gel backdrop used in some of the exterior TARDIS shots. The roundels are wrong, the walls are wrong and the stairs are wrong.

 

[bcm77]

New console is all well and good, but I'm hoping we get to see some more rooms in the TARDIS sometime soon.

An episode set in the depths of the TARDIS would certainly be intresting given the possibilities today's CGI technology offers.

If that's what the TARDIS interior looks like it'll be fine with me though to be honest it could've stayed the same as I never had a problem with that, it was more the occupants

Billie Piper confirms Doctor Who movie is in the works?

Not a whole lot there, but just pointing it out anyway.

If they are making one, hopefully she has nothing to do with it. No more Rose!

 

[pixletwin]

Agreed. I have had enough of Rose. Besides which her face and accent are no longer Rose-esque if you get my meaning.
