Random Friday Pinup!
Been a while huh? Anyways, this is River Song from the Dr. Who series, which I was going to do this later on this year because they said they weren’t releasing the newest season until then, buuuuuut I was a bad fanboy and found out the season started 2 weeks ago… >
Oh well, good series, go watch it. 10th Doc is still my fav though. And for those keeping track at home, I’m up to season 3 of 26 of the original run. One of these day’s I’ll get into the color broadcasts! Woo! XD
While the Doctor Who series might not be everybody’s cup of tea, it’s one of my favs! So what is your favorite show? Current or otherwise.
My favorite is prebelly number 11 (also thank god this has no cleavage that would be creepy)
wha? why not?! >)
Gunsmoke.
hmm… idk… Doc Adams just might be able to wrangle a Dalek!
Wait…did you say season 3 of 26 of the original run?
Just how many seasons of Doctor who are there overall??
so far, from 1963 to now there have been 33 seasons. and a movie. and there are a load of “dr who confidential” episodes that have accompanied the current 7 season reboot.
I’ve seen pretty much all all 33 seasons growing up as both my father and myself are fans. For my money I like the current doctor, Amy is hot, Rory gives me hope that guys like us that actually read your comic can actually get a girl like Amy, and daleks give me nightmares… just think about it. On a side note, if you don’t like The Doctor hang your head in shame and may the silence get you.
wow! lucky you! you got to see them with the original video! unfortunately for me, most of the video has been lost to the ages and all that remains is the audio set to stage photos taken on set. well, at least for the first few seasons I suspect. a real shame really.
I’m still a fan of Dr.10! he really had a special something that was just what the doctor ordered! (you can kick me for that pun…) yeah, the Amy/Rory duo is a pretty good mix, though I didn’t like their “oh noes, they are broken up” thing to start the new season. bleh.
can’t really say River is a true “companion”, being wifey and all, but my all time favs so far have been Donna Noble as the tops best companion with Martha Jones in a short second. (ahem, both of which were for dr10…) not sure what it was, but they all had great chemistry. mainly cause they’d give the doc a hard time. >)
doc 10 was the best had my favourite villein to the master that guy has always been all kinds of baddass and his whole redemption was just awesome hated donner always thought rose was to preachy liked marther gotta say amys my favourite shame shes getting vaporized or lazed or eaten etc at some point this season
yeah, the Master was all kinds of nasty! even in the early seasons (1964 I think) he was kind of B.A… oh, and his origin story was pretty nifty too!
rose was kinda meh. kinda felt like I was watching the old Buffy series again. what? amy dies?! nooooo! funny though, cause she made quite a ruckus because she was seen as too racy for the show.
I don’t know about Donna Noble, personally she annoyed the crap out of me. I’ll give you Martha Jones though, she was a good companion, and as far as doctor 10 goes, at the time I would have hands down said he was awesome, but since the current doctor and the story lines he’s been a part of I’ve looked back and had to wonder some times why I ever really liked doctor 10, maybe it’s just the fact that the current doctor seems like he has so much more to him personality depth wise.
the newest doc, especially in this season, seems to have a lot more going on, like you said. earlier doctors had their quarks, and in the renewal of the series, they made it a point to show that he was more levelheaded and solved his problems by being clever, rather than with violence or death. the new one seems to struggle with this and show that he really needs a crew or a certain lady love to mellow him out. seems the doc is really at his most unstable when he’s left alone to his own devices. >)
Oooh, love River Song! She was so mysterious…
I saw the new Doctor Who intro the other time and at first I thought something was wrong with the lighting… until I saw the writing. It’s quite darker now, not sure I like that too much.
true, they’ve taken things in a different direction in this last season… but it’s given a great deal more depth to the doctor. also, these sets of companions are really confrontational and don’t take any of his bs like many of the others have, which is pretty refreshing to see how he reacts. I do think it’s a bit darker, but I also like it because it’s exploring a different side of the doctor we’ve never really seen before. we’ll see how this one plays out, but it might be one of the better seasons if they keep it up.
