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!

Does anyone know where I can watch the last episode, the Dinosaurs on a Spaceship one? I missed it Saturday because we don't have cable anymore. And my parents wouldn't let me go to a friend's house to watch it because I had homework. D:

Don't they air it on one of the free-to-air US TV networks?

 

http://www.abc.net.au/iview/

 

It's the only website to have the episodes up the night they premiere in the UK and US.

 

Plus it's the only website to legally have the episodes up to be watched for free.

So I knew Amy and Rory would be leaving, they've been shouting about it in previews for the past month or so, and even before that. I was not expecting it to be with them dying like that. It was nice that they got to be together, the love story between Rory and Amy was so amazing and wonderful, it will be so hard to follow them. The loved each other so much and did so much to be with each other. Breaking time itself over and over again. It will be so hard to see them go, and following them up will be almost as hard, if not harder, than Rose.

 

 

It was a good episode though. I definitely can't ever look at the Lady of Liberty ever again though. Weeping angels scare the crap out of me.

 

 

Still gonna go cry. Some more.

I KNOW! Its so sad...

 

 

*SPOILER IF YOU DIDNT SEE THE AD AFTERWARDS*

at least we get to see Oswin come back in the christmas special and possibly the whole next season though.

I mean, I guess. I'm not ready to move on from Amy and Rory yet. I mean I know they got a happy ending...but I just don't have closure for it somehow. I've a feeling they'll be back much like Rose and Martha came back. I still sometimes hope we'll see a Matt Smith + Rose + Cpt. Jack episode....

After the episode ended I just sat in front of the tv crying like a baby,my heart... my heart just can't take it...goes to cry some more.

watch doctor who season 7 episode 5 and i raged on my computer

why did those 2 commit suicide, TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i mean, i know this is the last episode and the doctor finds a new companion during christmas special but still, this is so evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doctor who is a family drama with lots of adventure. I enjoying watching this show so much. All the character of the show are doing really awesome work. But mine favorite is David Tennant.

James McAvoy as the 12th Doctor, What do you think?

Edited October 23, 201212 yr by Iamkingdomhearts1000

Possibly I think Derren Brown should be The Doctor though ._. His personality is so similar to The Doctors

Here's a list of 3 possible actors that could play the 12th Doctor, ahem:

 

I-Bill Nighy.

 

II-James McAvoy.

 

III-Hugh Laurie.

 

Hugh Laurie as the Doctor omg I'd literally die

I would love that. He did such a fantastic job as Charles Xavier in First Class.

Would have to wait until he's finished with First Class II though.
