the new "catch phrase"...umm...

[FreddyE]

So it seems we get a "catch dialog" this time around.

"Doctor: That´s not the question."
Clara (or someone else: "Then what´s the question?"
Doctor: (omnious tone): The question is......"


Am I the only one thinking this will get old fast? Alonsy, Geronimo, Fantastic...were all nice and cool...but now...a pattern of dialog?

 

[Australis]

^ No, those catchphrases got old for me. They all get old after a while.

 

[intrinsical]

I don't know... After all these years, I'm still liking "Would you like a jelly baby?"

 

[Newspaper Taxi]

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

 

[Doctorwhovian]

Didn't they use "Geronimo" again? Then again Tennant said "Fantastic" in The Christmas Invasion and it took him nearly a whole season before he said "Allons-y".

I kept expecting him to say "The question is Who?"

Doctor 11 used the catchphrase "Doctor Who" a lot come to think of it.

Then again Tennant said "Fantastic" in The Christmas Invasion and it took him nearly a whole season before he said "Allons-y".

There is a deleted scene in The Christmas Invasion where immediately after he says "Fantastic" he goes off on a rant about how it no longer feels right. Allons-y didn't really become a regularly used catchphrase until season 4.

I think they'll probably just shorten it by having him say "Question:", and then have him ask whatever he's going to ask.

Sort of like how Data used to always start out everything with "Query" in the early TNG seasons.

And I thought it worked well in this first episode, so I don't mind seeing it again.

 

[Tom]

He does say 'Question, ____' a bunch in future episodes past the premier.

 

[marillion]

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

QFT.... But to be fair, it was River's catchphrase too... Every time she showed up, she was sorry... So so sorry...

 

[YellowSubmarine]

His catchphrase should be "Of course I know! There's nothing that you know that I don't know. I'm Doctor fucking Know."

 

[tomalak301]

I've been using Fantastic more because of Chris Eccleston. The other catch phrases do not compare.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I think the new Doc's catch phrase is going to be

"I’ve got a horrible feeling I’m going to have to kill you..."

 

[YellowSubmarine]

"I’ve got a horrible feeling I’m going to have to kill you..."

Well, if one made this their catchphrase, there's a risk they might start sounding like Strax.

 

[Captain Kathryn]

I believe he said "shut up!" quite a few times!

 

[Captain Kathryn]

Yeah... even though my heart will always be with David Tennant, I'm not a fan of "Allons-y!" much. Although it does fit with his character.

I do like his "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." though.

Not really a bad thing...

Clara and the Paternoster Row gang used it for Clara's signal to them. The Doctor was saying it (tinged with a mild condescension) with her because he guessed what they would have chosen.

 

[Candlelight]

As long as it's not "Doctor... Who?"

 

[YellowSubmarine]

As long as it's not "Doctor... Who?"

"I am the Doctor."

"What doctor?"

"That's not the question."
