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!

Time out Sora96 they never said if Davros died or not he might have survived from a escape pod like he did in the classic who.

That'll have the same result imo. Seriously, David's the greatest Doctor ever imo, and being the one to defeat The Master, Davros etc for good proves it...but if they bring them back...

A new trailer came out with some new, and classic foes.

Peter is one sexy mother firetrucker

Can't wait for more sexy Clara.

I still hope next year has a multi doctor story with the Doctors of new who, and the return of the Valeyard.

So if you don't know all ready I'm like a super Whovian and doctor who season 8 is almost here and I don't know about anyone else but I am super excited!!! I think Peter Capildi is going to make a great doctor! Anyone else excited for doctor who season 8!?

Oh, doctor who. I don't really um... Like that show very much, seems to be strange.

I'm excited. After all I'm the the guy who started The Doctor Who Fanclub thread on this site.

I'm very excited! I also think this thread is a bit unnecessary, what with there already being a Dr. Who thread. That might just be me though.

Join the he- Oh wait, wrong fandom. I would suggest trying it. Just because something seems strange doesn't mean it is. Of course, that might be me.

Then never mind me.

Just letting you all know, I changed the title after merging the another thread into this one.

I changed it from "Doctor Who Discussion Thread" to "Doctor Who". Hope you guys are alright with that.

They say she is the longest standing companion by the time she leaves but it doesn't feel that way at all. I'ma miss her a lot. I wonder who is going to be the new companion then...

So, Series 8 of Doctor Who has officially begun! I suggest any info you wish to share/talk about in the newest episodes should be put in spoilers, just in case some people couldn't tune in on time.So, to start us off...

What do you people think of this "Missy" character? I've already heard some theories around her, such as:"That's the Master, because Missy = Mistress = Master"and"River Song is back!"and"Wait, could it possibly be Susan?"And the most popular one..."It's a new character!"But I want to know other peoples theories. I've heard a few, and I want to hear more

 

I had no idea it was going to be 76 minutes long. I hope they don't do a long episode again for a while. Long episodes are supposed to be special like The Day of the Doctor.
