Who?























Just kidding grin . Okay, I must say that I didn't really manage to get much of Doctor Who. The 200x version was shown only shortly on german television before it just disappeared -_-.
Alright, just for fun, can somebody give me a short explanation on just what makes Doctor Who so cool?

I know why Star Trek, Firefly etc is, but I have no connection to D-Who although I should have since I'm a scifi nerd actually grin . So, uh, toss me a bone why I should order dem dvds.

I'll answer that happy

There are a number of reasons that all kinda work together. A lot of today's parents grew up watching Doctor Who in all it's cheesy goodness and are filled with a warm nostalgia and memories of hiding, terrified, behind the sofa. When the series was picked up again a few years ago, we watched it because of our memories and and we wanted to pass on our memories to our kids. What took it to the next level was excellent casting of the Doctor and his companion and some truly excellent stories.

When that Doctor (Christopher Eccelston) quit and David Tennant took over, the show sky-rocketed, he was perfectly cast and the there were more and more great stories that were mixed in perfectly with the corny charm of the 70's and 80's stories. The producer was obviously influenced by Joss Wheddon and made sure that the stories the writers were coming up with were as character driven and fun as Buffy and Firefly and there is always a deeper underlying plot running as a theme, even through the fluff episodes. His best writer, Stephen Moffat took over as producer last year along with a new doctor, who, whilst being excellent, isn't quite as charismatic as Tennant, so the viewing numbers have slumped quite a bit, Moffat seems to have really found his feet with this season so far though. All three aired episodes have been great and the first two were excellent and scary (for kids) grin

Seriously hit or miss this season but I am still enjoying it... it is Who after all! It would take the Tardis appearing in my living room and the Doctor stepping out to kick me in the nuts for me to start worrying.

Let's say I want to get into Doctor Who. Where should I start? I tried "at the beginning" and was turned off. There has to be a better place.

each season has it's own theme that runs throughout but it's all pretty episodic. occasionally you get 3 episode arcs but that's pretty rare. i do suggest though, if you like scifi and you've watched the first 2 seasons of dr who 2005 (so you get the back story) that you watch torchwood children of earth. it's season 3 of torchwood and is, hands down, the best scifi anything shown on tv. seasons 1 and 2 of torchwood are pretty terrible though. season 1 is like.. stand alone terrible but kind of fun if you like jack, season 2 is dramatically better but still pretty bad and season 3 was mind blowing because it's just 1 5 hour story that was aired mon-fri of the same week. fantastic.

Agreed. I enjoyed Torchwood as a more adult version of Who but it was pretty craptastic overall. Children of Earth though was insanely good, like must see good.

it's must see good but you REALLY need to know and understand jack's FULL backstory. which means watching at the very least, 2 seasons of dr who. and actually, season 3 as well because coe happened after season 3 of who and the doctor is brought up several times to deal with the menace but for obvious reasons, he doesn't show.

I'm not sure if I buy the explanation of River's identity. I think she lied to Amy and Rory just so they would stop worrying about Melody, and that her true identity won't be revealed for a long time.

Doctor Who is fantastic. From Nine, to Ten, to Eleven, the doctors are fantastic. And the guest actors were also fantastic.

My favorite episodes were The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, Human Nature, Family of Blood, New Earth, Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead, The Pandorica Opens and The End of Time.
