Happy 50th Doctor Who

Posted by Unknown on from the is-that-like-a-vorlon-or-something dept.

beaverdownunder writes "To commemorate 50 years of the Tardis, today the BBC is airing a 75 minute special finally revealing the secrets of the Time War. What did you think of the special? And what's your fondest memory of Who? And what about that Capaldi guy?" Okian Warrior pointed out today's Google doodle too.

    I see you're not a Timelord.

    The couch has been moved a metre forward from the wall, and I have adopted the traditional viewing position.

    And here come the Daleks.

    EXTERMINATE!

    Gossip about Dexter?

    The serial killer or the one with a laboratory?

    That was pretty fun! I wasted 10 regenerations trying to get past the Crying Angel in the graveyard.

    To all the crybabies:
    Complaining about Doctor Who for not being scientifically accurate is as stupid as complaining about The Lord of The Rings for not being historically accurate. Now, go f**k yourself.

  6. Best Doctor Who coverage = The Register by xxxJonBoyxxx · · Score: 5, Informative

    The best 50th anniversary coverage I've seen by far is over the The Register. (Yes, the same publication you read to find out what will be on SlashDot tomorrow.)

    Dr. Who, Star [Wars|Gate|Dreck]. Too retro. I'm old enough to remember when they all started. They had their day. They need to disappear into history.

    You know, you can just stop watching something if you don't like it.

    Are we going to have to put up with that whole series as movies?

    Unless you're going to be dragged into the cinema against your will and clamped into the chair with your eyelids propped up a la Clockwork Orange, no, you're not going to have to put up with it.

    They had their day. They need to disappear into history.

    Your opinion doesn't trump everyone else's. Sorry.
