I left because of politics. I did not see eye to eye with them. I didn't agree with the way things were being run. I didn't like the culture that had grown up around the series. So I left, I felt, over a principle.

Vincent and the Doctor.

Don't really want to go into details, but it made a very deep personal connection through some of the writing, and although it is a different scenario it still hits home and lifts the spirit.

Same here, AC :).

My daughter sort of got me hooked on this in a round-a-bout way. She was always watching the episodes on BBC America and I would catch parts here and there. But one day this past summer, I saw just the second half of the Vincent and the Doctor episode and I was very moved and hooked.

Been filling-up my DVR ever since ;) :).

You must watch them in order, best way is via Netflix

It's Doctor Who, you don't have to watch them in order. It's all timey wimey anyway.... ;)

:dalek:

Also, I have every episode on my DVR. With as much as they are rerun it shouldn't take long to get them all.

I dunno, you certainly can watch them out of order, but especially in the Moffat stuff there are some long running plot lines that you'd appreciate more for seeing them in order.

Yea, I enjoyed watching it in order.

Yeah, I was making a joke about them all being out of orde because of the time travel and all that. Guess it didn't come across, eh?

Just referencing jokes from the show itself, you know since it is directly from that.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about how "grown up" anyone here is, they might surprise you, or they might take offense (luckily, it's just me and I won't ;) ).

Dunno if this is the episode you are quoting, but that reminded me of Planet of the Dead. That temporary companion thief girl..... Would like to have seen more episodes with her but that was a good one.

What was the episode with the space Titanic, where he met that gal but she died? (I think she sort of evaporated.) I was sad at that, I thought for sure that was going to be his next companion while I was watching it.

It was the 2007 Christmas special "Voyage of the Damned" with Kylie Minogue falling to her death saving the doctor with a forklift.


Edit: the doctor tried to save her from the backup on the teleport but couldn't bring her back so he sends her atoms flying through space so she doesn't feel like she's falling anymore, or something like that.

Thanks! Quite a backstory on her character on Wikipedia for that episode, guess I wasn't the only one expecting it.

Going to re-watch that episode today, not sure how I got her death so confused.

I have it crossed over with some trans dimensional being, obviously from another episode.

But yeah - her too!

Still hating Donna Noble after all these years. :p

PS - I know no Donna in this one, exactly why I'm looking forward to watching again. :D
 
Yeah mixed feeling about Donna myself. I don't know if it was the character or there fact Catherine Tate played the character like she was still doing her sketch show. She did kind of grow on me a bit though after re-watching the episodes a couple of times.
 
I hated that comedy show but didn't come across it until after.

The whole you-don't-know-jack attitude is what I hated and that came out over and over. All along with Tennant extolling the great Donna, the magnificent Donna, etc etc etc, when she was really a stump.

Best thing about Donna was her gramps - he was freaking great.
