Doctor Who is a British sci-fi television program that revolves around the adventures through time and space of an alien called the Doctor in his machine disguised as a blue police telephone box called the TARDIS (which stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space). Then along the way he also picks up companions (only the best though) to travel with him.

Though the Doctor looks human he is actually a Time Lord from the ancient planet Gallifrey (so he doesn't look human, you look Time Lord --they came first). The Time Lords are, obviously, lords of time. They have the technology to travel through all of time and space and can seemingly live on forever. They have superb mental powers, such as having telepathy and possibly even clairvoyant. They also have a little trick to cheat death called regeneration.

Regeneration is when a Time Lord completely reboots their body when they're dying to gain a new face and personality while maintaining their memories. However if a Time Lord is killed before their regeneration is complete, they are as good as dead. Within a certain time limit (I believe it's 10 hours but I'm not too sure I'll have to recheck) after regeneration Time Lords are able to heal themselves of injuries (even regrow severed limbs). As cool of a parlor trick regeneration may be, a Time Lord can only regenerate 12 times before they die.

So far, the Doctor is on his 11th regeneration, having regenerated 10 times. The current Doctor is played by Matt Smith, and his three companions, Amy, Rory, and River, are played by Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, and Alex Kingston respectively.

Doctor Who is the longest running sci-fi show, having over 32 seasons and overall over 700 (almost 800 last I calculated) episodes and a movie that aired in 1996. The show originally aired in 1963 which ran until 1989. The show was then rebooted in 2005 and continues to run today. It is also the most successful sci-fi series of all time.

This thread is to discuss Doctor Who; what you love about it, your favorite Doctor, favorite companion, songs you like, moments you like, and possibly even spoilers as the 7th season approaches within the next few weeks.

I will try my best to update this thread with news as it comes out. If you see something that I don't then feel free to post it as well!

So yeah go free my little Whovians!

Thankfully to make the wait a little bit easier, starting next week there's going to be an online mini-series called Pond Life (which can be seen on Doctor Who's website or on BBC1's Youtube channel) which will focus on Amy and Rory's life in between traveling with the Doctor, and the end of it will tie in with Asylum of the Daleks! It's gonna be available on August 27th also o:!

 

There's a little screen shot for it here:

A single out of context quote from the preview of the next episode under spoiler tags hardly qualifies as spoilers.

I already know that was the next episodeee >> I already saw the trailer too That doesn't spoil anything 8D

I think we should have a rule for TV shows in the media forum that is we have to use the spoiler code for any spoilers. And this should be in effect for at least one week or until Europe, Australia and North America have all aired it.

 

I'm watching the new episode of Doctor Who later today on ABC iView. Screw waiting till Saturday night. I've got an AFL Final to watch on Saturday night.

On a scale of one to ten, how good was that episode of Doctor Who?

 

 

Thanks to Cella.
