Doctor Who

I thin a lot of the time we like best whoever was Dr Who when we started watching-for me it was Tom Baker. I became a fan from the first episode I saw just as Tom Baker started-it was so different from anything else on then. Hard now to imagine how regimented and narrow tv was here then. Dr Who was on Public television which carried a lot of British programming -and also introduced me to Monty Python. I was a big sci fi fan but didn't know anyone else who was. But it was the humor more than the sci fi aspect that appealed to me I think.

Ive been watching Dr Who since it began in black and white, when William Hartnell was the Doctor.

My goodness Jaques! I salute you, sir.

Anyone ever notice that Amy and Rory have somewhat reversed gender roles in their relationship? It reminds me somewhat of my own marriage. :)

One of my all time favorite shows! I have been a fan since 3 yrs old! My favorite doctor is Tom Baker.

Two of my favorites are Pyramids of Mars and Image of the Fendhal

I'm afraid I too remember the late great William Hartnell as the first Doctor. The original series were great for their time, but now, when repeated, the effects do let them down I'm sad to say.

Of the new batch, David Tennant is the best, with Chris Ecclestone as a very close runner-up. Can't stand this current mophead, he's actually come close to my finishing as a Whovian, looking forward to Peter Capaldi though come the 50th Anniversary show this will be the one to watch I think! The BBC have released some details of the 50th Anniversary as well, not sure of the dates though.

Favourite companion, has to be Sarah Jane Smith (RIP Liz Sladen) followed by Leela (as she was), Amy, Rose Tyler, then Martha Jones.

Hey PJ,

One of the very few that lists Christopher among their favorites, I wish he had made more episodes - he brought a real depth to the character that some seem to miss, David of course continued with that depth but Matt seemed to take it a step back to a lot less concern about what had happened and what the consequences of his current actions.

We all have favorite moments but for me my favorite moment for the 9th Doctor was near the end of the episode "The Doctor Dances" (Part 2 of "The Hollow Child") when he through a handful of nanobots into the air and shouted, "Tonight everybody lives!"

Sarah Jane was the class of the companions and the one that I tend to compare each to - I was so sorry to hear of Liz Sladen's passing.

Hearing of the passing of our favorite actors gives us a slight insight to how the Doctor must feel as he leaves each companion behind knowing that he will outlive them all.

Love ya,

Sally

For those who cannot receive ME/TV or TVLand, you tube has a lot of old Dr Who videos available.

The Great News is that as far as the UK is concerned, the 50th Anniversary show will be shown on November 23rd 2013.

You tube also has a number of videos from the Sarah Jane Adventures!

Love the show!

I remember as a child hiding behind the couch in the living room when there was a scary bit. Like many others, Tom Baker was my favorite of the old Doctors. All the talk of Jelly Babies has made me want to go buy some at the British store we have here locally :)

Doesn't the new season start next month?

Unfortunately no, not in the UK anyway.

There is the 50th Anniversary special on the 23rd of November, and a quote on the BBC's Dr Who website suggests that there will be another new adventure before series 8 starts in the New Year.

But before series 8 we have two epic adventures to look forward to, starting with The Day of the Doctor on 23 November…

You have to love the Fourth Doctor - Jelly Babies are so much better than Fish Sticks and Custard - that reminds me - breakfast time!

Love ya,

Sally

I've gone off the Doctor a bit now. Too much kissy face and violence by the Doctor. I loved Tom Baker and giving the bad guys some jelly babies and enjoying the company not the bodies of hot companions. Just an old girls rant.

Hugs,

Charlie

So glad I saw this topic today, I love Doctor Who! I started off on the 2005 series, and I was hooked. I haven't seen very many classic episodes, does that make me a bad Whovian? -shrugs- I'm not sure.. Definitely excited for Capaldi as 12.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
