rukaio101 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Some people are telling me to start in season 5... what do you think of that rukaio? That could work (although you'd need background on a lot of stuff like the Time War and recurring enemies) but, like Coolio said, you'd be missing out on a lot of good stuff. (And some bad stuff too but that's par for the course) Edited January 4, 2014 by rukaio101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I assume that the next season will only start in October. I have a lot of time to see the other 7 seasons before. I just don't want to start in the middle of something and don't understand half of what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to start in the middle of something and don't understand half of what is going on. We've only got a tenative Autumn release date but you should have plenty of time If you want a list of episodes worth skipping (due to being unimportant canonically and widely agreed to be terrible) here you go Series 2: 'The Idiot's Lantern', 'Love and Monsters', 'Fear Her' Series 3: 'Daleks in Manhattan' + 'Evolution of the Daleks' (okay, there is one small plot point here that links to the Series 4 finale, but the episodes are so awful it's really not worth sitting through it. Just ask us when you get to these two eps and we'll tell you what you need to know) Series 6: 'The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe' (The Christmas Special) While there are others I could put on here (but won't either due to their importance to the plot or because they have a decent number of fans or because they're just average/forgettable rather than bad) these are the ones widely agreed by the fanbase to be awful and definitely worth missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It's also only about 14 episodes per series so it's easily doable. Skipping Daleks in Manhattan does mean missing out on Spider-man fighting the Daleks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) So i just watched a premiere of the new doctor Idk its gonna take some time to get used to it but so far its aright I suppose Capaldi pretty much slid into the role as good as you can do it Edited August 24, 2014 by Crusader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It was... decent, I guess. I have such mixed feeling about this show. I haven't seen the old series, but I watched all 8 seasons from 2005 till now. In the first one, I didn't like Eccleston as the Doctor, but Billie Piper was the perfect companion. Then came David Tennant who was absolutely brilliant. The seasons with him and Piper are my favourite ones. Then Freema Agyeman (Martha)... I was beyond pissed they replaced Rose. But then they change Tennant and that made me to almost completely lose interest in the show. Took some getting used to to accept Matt Smith as the Doctor. I really liked Karen Gillan's character (Amy). Also dig Jenna Coleman' and I'm glad she's back (the top is like this: Rose >>>> Amy > Clara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Martha). But Capaldi's just... I don't know. I like him even less than Eccleston... So Tennant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Smith >>>>>>> Eccleston > Capaldi. But at least we got this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWho Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Nice episode, Capaldi was ok, I have to watch some more to get used to him. The Doctor seems darker now... Oh, and Strax is always great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I really liked it. I appreciated the longer scenes it helped to build tension like in the restaurant and them writing more for Clara to do, Jenna Coleman is a great actress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Season 4 over and I watched the first two episodes of the fifth season. Technically it really evolved, it's more modern and closer to an American production, that's much better this way And it's really a weird show, weird but fun ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I got a very strong Blink vibe from this episode. I liked it very much but it didn't rise to that level. They were both written by Moffat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Blink was brilliant ... this one was great as well up until the barn scene where it totally wimped out It was downright scary and intriguing up till then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 And it still left no explanation of what was in the bedroom with young Pink. The out of focus image looked like one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm surprised by how much I liked this episode. It felt like Doctor Who again, after 2 seasons: scary, exciting, thrilling, fun. The next episode looks good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Another very good episode. I'm surprised. I'm starting to like Capaldi. Still nowhere near Tennant but still good. Also, love Clara. Next episode looks interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Capaldi is a huge step up from Smith that's pretty much a fact now I thought the bank episode was pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Capaldi is a huge step up from Smith that's pretty much a fact now Nope. Smith's still my favourite Doctor. Don't get me wrong, Capaldi's an excellent Doctor, but Smith pretty much had me convinced from episode 1 (while it took until Listen for me to really get a handle on Capaldi's doc).
