I'm a big fan of British television, and this is right up my alley. I dig some other stuff like this too (oh, maybe Red Dwarf, Mighty Boosh, Misfits?) and I was wondering if I had anyone to bullshit with about it.

DEAR GOD YES!
I LOVE Doctor Who. And Torchwood. I eagerly await each episode. Although, I don't have Stars, so no Miracle Day for me. I do have my parents DVR it for me, go down every couple weeks and catch up. But Doctor Who is one of the few things I genuinely get excited about. I can't believe how amazing the writing has been, since the change over to the 11th Doctor.

I've never actually seen the show personally. But my friend keeps telling me to check it out and that I would like it.

I've been watching since Matt Smith's second episode and I quite like it. I think Matt's doing a pretty good job as the Doctor. My main interest is with the classic series though.

I've been watching Doctor Who since the Pertwee era. Met McCoy in person and got his autograph. Never miss an episode, have every episode that has been novelized and all of the books from Virgin and BBC books and then some. Yeah I'm a Whovian.

I'm glad I'm not alone, you guys have good taste. I might pick up a Tardis to go with my figures... I already painted my bed room the same blue and black. It looks awesome, truly.

I've been watching Doctor Who since the relaunch with Christopher Eccleston... Up til that point, I'd only watched a couple of old Tom Baker episodes. But I'm happy with the newer shows, and Matt Smith is fantastic in the role.
Sadly, I feel the last season was a bit dire in places, and lacked a little something... Steven Moffat is a great writer on one-off episodes, but his overall arc has been pretty shakey. Managed to pull it back with a really strong season finale last week though!

Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor, I met him and Collin at a convention when I was a kid.
I made a burgundy coat, scarf and pants for my 3.75" Indiana Jones fig when I was a kid and used that as the Doctor. My mom built me a TARDIS for him out of wood and sculpted me doll too, but I didn't play with that because it was too precious. I watched "The Girl That Waited" last night. It feels like the Rory/ Amy story is approaching its conclusion.

I'm inclined to agree. In fact, I'm feeling that the eleventh doctor's story may soon be coming to an end. (Maybe Smith's contract is coming up soon, and they're setting a jumping off point if he does?)

I think the Doctor River kills is one of those "fake" people from that other episode. Isn't Doctor Who just about out of regenerations? Maybe he and River's offspring takes over as the new Doctor, or perhaps the Doctor's daughter will make an appearance. (Remember her?) I'd like to see a black Doctor, or a woman Doctor... anyone else interested in that?

I feel exactly the opposite here. I think his overall story arcs are intricately woven, and practically genious. I'm feeling there are things that were set up in his first season that we still haven't seen the payoff too, or even aware of. (Such as the references to The Silence. Didn't even know those were there until recently)
Man, there's a plot point they never bothered going back to... But just an FYI, they recently did an episode of Sarah Jane Adventures that retcon'd the "limited regenerations" rule.

That's kind of confusing because River gave the Doctor all of her remaining generations to keep him from dying. How could she do that if she has an infinite number of them and why would she if he does too?

So what, he can regenerate as long as people keep watching the show?
That's kind of confusing because River gave the Doctor all of her remaining generations to keep him from dying. How could she do that if she has an infinite number of them and why would she if he does too? But essentially, The Doctor is effectively immortal, unless he dies before he can regenerate.

They never explain anything properly in Dr. Who.
It's part of the show's charm.

Caught that... Had to laugh at that little nod, and was a great episode to boot.

One of their friends is staring in a show that is reminiscent of Dr. Who and the Dalek like creatures turn out to be real "Daleks". The real "Doctor" shows up and helps Power Man and Iron Fist defeat the Daleks.

The show Leverage does Doctor Who references all the time too.
Tom Baker, Sarah Jane Baker, Colin Baker, if you pay attention to the cover aliases they use, Doctor Who actors and characters pop up all the time. Yeah supernatural did it too with Amy Pond. I'm a diehard fan of doctor who myself. Though really at this point it's starting to seem like who isn't these days. As for the show and regenerations. It's in the past mythology. The timelord council can great more regens, but without a council, the doctor can do it himself. River only had a limited number of regens because she doesn't know that about the council or the history of the timelords. As for the flesh doctor, that was never going to be how he escaped the death. Flesh doctor can't regen. They said so in the episode itself when he flipped out about 900+ years of memories with no regenerating. The show does explain a lot of what's going on, but it's in the finer details and easy to miss because the pace is so fast. I'm glad I DVR episodes for rewatches to catch a lot of stuff if I missed something. Also, just a heads up... But prepared for a big shocker on the 11-12, and 12-13 regens. =D Not sure which they'll do it on, but one or the other is going to have something really holy crap in it that relates to River and birthdays.
