11th Doctor Casting announcment tommorow

[Allyn Gibson]

The difference with Dr. Who is that we're used to the changes since it happens all of the time, it just takes some time to get used to them. With Star Trek some people will never get used to the chages look at all the complaints about the new movie showing the Enterprise being built on the ground and in Iowa.

Lets see how composed WHO fans would be if the tardis ended up like this

Clearly you weren't in fandom in 1996. The arguments over the interior of McGann's TARDIS caused all sorts of consternation.

BY GOLLY I THINK I'VE GOT IT! I was just pondering about who should be the Docs next companion...............

The next companion could be Doctor Whos daughter! ya know, that lassy that was created from his DNA sample.
If you remember she regenerated after she died and set of into space. Well she could become the new companion but they could just use another actress to play the part.
Whenever the actress playing Doctor Who's daughter get's tired of the role and wants to leave the show they could just kill her off and have her regenerate the same way the Doctor does and bring in another actress.

How many threads are you going to cut and paste this post into, Tacky?

It's been posted in the TNZ Doctor Who thread (where I posted it first) which can't be accessed by everybody or by people who don't even go in there and then in this thread here.

So I've cut and pasted once and that was from TNZ into the Doctor Who Forum.

That ok with you? k thanks.

PS: stop trolling me.

We've had two straight skin-and-bones Doctors and now you expect the next one to hit the gym?

Maybe THAT's it!!!!!!

Maybe he WON'T be STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!


Maybe THAT is what he means when he says he is going to put a spin on it or whatever!!!!!!!!!!!


*waits for whingeing fandoms' head to explode considering most of the asexual 14 year olds freak out when the Doctor kisses a GIRL(BLECCCHH YUCKKKK!!!!)*

Russell T Davies GET OUT OF HERE!

Actually what I'd REALLY like to see is another old-fashioned, Victorian style outfit like the 1st and 8th Doctor had. I think that justaposition of him walking around some futuristic or alien world in something from the 19th century would be cool to see.

That was my first thought, too, when I saw the promo pics. A dark Victorian costume. But on second thought it would be nice to have him wear colours.

It was hard enough to have a crush on Tennant (who you may know I have dubbed the Boy Tennant to acknowledge the uncomfortableness I feel in fancying someone younger than myself). It's all going to be far too icky to fancy 11.

You realise you don't need to fancy the Doctor to enjoy the show, right?
While I do fancy Tennant that's the exception concerning actors or celebs in general. I enjoy plenty of TV shows where I don't fancy any of the actors. You can do it, too!

No, sorry, that's just nonsense fanwank.

No, it's called canon.

If that's true, then why oh why did the whole of the press conference (from the BBC to the reporters) all label Smith as the "Eleventh" Doctor? Are you saying that RTD, Moffet, Tennant, the BBC, every single press report, etc. etc. etc. are all wrong and that your one lone theory trumps all of them? I think that's called arrogance.

I think I'm one of the few people in the world who liked that interior. I remember discussing it with someone a couple of years ago who claimed the series had always had brilliant interior sets... and got quite upset when I pointed out one of those sets was a loading bay/car park.

Yes, that's exactly what he is saying. Don't worry, I'm certain he has some anecdotal evidence that "proves" his claims.

I think that's called arrogance.

I know, I know! I knew someone would pull me up on this one. I've been watching Who for 30 years without much of a fancy being turned to anyone, then Eccleston comes along and wallop! So, I know what you're saying. It's just that I've been enjoying the Saturday teatime totty as of late.

Well it's all a little too convenient isn't it. If the Doctor wants to have more regenerations then all he has to do is immediately after regenerating chop his hand off or his penis off and then grow another back and then use that hand or penis next time he dies to regenerate into the same form and literally 'save' a regeneration.

That's bonkers.

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Nothing much convenient about deliberately lopping off your own hand. And it's not like the Doctor even meant to keep this one either - he only got it because Jack got his mitts on it and used it to help the Doctor and even then he had to get back from the Master.

And lopping off his penis in the off-chance he might want to use it to heal would be... well, you said it. Bonkers.

 

[Classic Fan]

just watched the confidential on bbc iplayer as i was working yesterday.


Wasnt expecting that, i dont even know the guy, but then i dont watch much telly so i wouldnt. But i have faith in the producers and writers that if they think hes a good choice then so be it.

He seems very down to earth and confident in his ways in the interview so im guessing that will shine through in the performance.

Also, after seeing clips from the various shows he has been in, he looks promising when in costume and on set and in makeup, i wasnt too sure what to think during the interview, but after seeing him act and the way he jumps from character to character he looks promising.



Im glad they didnt go with a female though, cos a said in interviews, trying to explain that sudden change to a young audience would be a nightmare. I wouldnt of minded a female or black lead, seriously i have no problem with that at all, but alas, they went with someone that for once, The Sun didnt announce months before hand. Not that theyre always accurate but you know what i mean.



Looks good though, its early days yet.

I think it was all part of special circumstances. The hand started off as new and got cut off. The hand had small traces of regeneration energy.

It probably wouldn't work now if Doctor 10 chopped off his "fightin hand!" right now. There wouldn't be any residual regeneration energy.

Also in the future the doctor might not be so close to the body part to regenerate and still regenerate but keeping the previous doctors body part for nothing.

 

[Jon1701]

The "12 lives" thing can be resolved in two lines of dialogue. Three at the most. Its all a load of sci-fi bollocks anyway.

Just throw any old technobabble nonsense in there.

Doctor 12 : "The tachyon energy feedback loop passed through the eye of the Tardis and back through the reversed polarity of the neutron flow..."

Companion : "Which means?"

Doctor 12 : "Which mean I've got 12 more lives!!!!"

Roll credits.

John Nathan Turner

well yes, but why did no one say to him "um John we think your great and we look forward to seeing where you go with the 6th Doctor, but this outfit, NO NO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO"

Nobody could tell him anything but Colin Baker hated that outfit he wanted an all black outfit as well.

if I had been there, I might have said something, but as per usual the world didnt consult me, and the world made a mistake.

The difference with Dr. Who is that we're used to the changes since it happens all of the time, it just takes some time to get used to them.

but Whofans still seem to over react to news of change, which is odd as they know its coming.

Lets see how composed WHO fans would be if the tardis ended up like this

um yes *blushes* when the new series was yet to air, I was hoping the TARDIS would become a red phone box, but ive since learned better and if I was to make the TARDIS a red phone box it would a one off thing.

Ah, the marketing argument.

For what it's worth, that's an argument against the "Morbius" Doctors and the Richard E. Grant Doctor. Because the BBC's marketing doesn't include them in the tally, then they must not count.

I can see the argument that Tennant is both the tenth and eleventh (and see, even though I believe in what "Morbius" tells me, I have to refer to the numbers as counting from Hartnell/Hurndall, skipping Grant entirely to be understood), but I'm going to quote Spock here -- "A difference that makes no difference is no difference." Show me how the Tennant Doctor pre-"The Stolen Earth" is different than the Tennant Doctor post-"Journey's End" and I may, and I might grant that these really are two different regenerations of the Doctor. (Of course, now I wonder if the Doctor's standard procedure going forward will be to chop his hand off immediately after regeneration, to prolong his lifespan.) And let's consider this problem -- how do you put across to the audience that Tennant is playing two different Doctors? For the nonce, Tennant's Doctor is a single incarnation; the regenerative crisis was halted thanks to the jiggery-pokery of the Doctor's severed hand. That's what people understand, and unless another story can be built around that, I don't see it as a factor in the series going forward.

I think I'm one of the few people in the world who liked that interior.

Oh, I absolutely adored the gothic, steampunk interior. Yes, it was completely bonkers as compared to what previous Doctors had had, but it really fit with the Doctor's personality. It's by far my favorite TARDIS console room.

If someone stepped into this TARDIS, would they suddenly find themselves in the vast Ministry of Magic?

 

[wamdue]

I think that most people understand that Tennants 2nd regeneration, was a regeneration, and only the fact he had the hand around was why his personality or exterior did not change, I think the episode strongly hinted that.

as for the Spock quote, this is actually quite important, the Doctor has a limited number of regenerations, and is coming towards the end. the 11th Doctor (Tenants 11th Doctor) is going to have a shorter run than the 9th. It is must distressing to think that he is using up regenerations so quickly.

As for marketing, its possible we are both right, David Tennant is still playing the 10th Doctor, and Matt Smith would count as the 11th new Doctor, only a regeneration has happened, and the numbering things to the confusion may not reflect that, Smith is the 11th guy to play a new Doctor no question, but he is the Doctor's 12 regeneration.

and the TARDIS console, I missed these debates but im thinking the console was the least of the fans worrys once the episode actually aired, and well consoles change, they always have, there is no arguement for keeping the same one for ever, expect that one console is your favourite.

That said they had better not change the current one when Matt Smith takes over, to many changes something needs to stay the same, plus I really like the current one.
