The problem is, old web sites like this have very few posters commenting to get a large variety of opinions. It's the same people, with the same PC views so little is ever added to the debate. To get a wider scope of things, you need to go to Twitter or Facebook where you are not controlled by...

Well, can't say I'm that surprised given the absolute rubbish Moffat has done with the show. But, I had hopes of them getting back to a more Classic Who style with the Christmas special and building it back to the glory years of the 3rd and 4th Doctors. Now, I see the show has totally gone off...

The finale did not disappoint me overall and had some great moments for Classic Who fans like myself that saved it from the usual trope Moffat typically does. At long last, I will get to see what someone else can do with the show and I'm hoping if the nods to Classic Who fans were any indication...

I sure hope so, I have really not liked much of what Moffat has done with the show since taking over from RTD. But, I agree in the last season for Capaldi should've been how his Doctor and as far as I'm concerned all, to have been with the more cohesive and less hyper dialog. You NEVER saw any...

Couldn't agree more with most of those feelings regarding Matt Smith as Doctor Who. I too find most of his era unwatchable due to his "acting" and scripts. They were indeed all about The Ponds and little to do with The Doctor. For me, he ranks up there with Colin Baker as the worst era of Who...

Actually, that's not at all a given fact as you will find. It's indeed a codename though he doesn't know it and that's the whole setup behind Skyfall and the grave site. You could indeed make a Bond movie where it stars a female, Jamie Bond, or 007 if so wanted but that is very unlikely as...

I really don't think him regenerating into a woman is going to ever happen. There are just too many dynamics that you need for a script to work and despite the real life social statements, you must maintain the integrity of the character. Remember, James Bond or 007 is just a code name/number...

I would agree mostly with that statement about this season for the show and maybe some others early on too. He was a great Doctor, but some of the scripts were dreadful and I for one can't wait to finally see Moffat leave the show.

Both yes and no if you read my posts in detail. As stated, many back in the early '80s have never seen any of these Doctor Who shows on TV before and they certainly did not exist on any video format (VHS). But Target books doesn't just have titles that are based on scripts aired on TV. There are...

You would be incorrect in that regard. Yes, the Target books were titled the same as the TV episodes, but much better I think especially if you don't care for the look and effects of the older Doctor Who shows. Titles like the Abominable Snowman, Carnival of Monsters, even the first show An...

Precisely and you do NOT watch Doctor Who for the special effects or "modern" look and feel. It was known as the "thinking man's Sci-Fi show" and nothing like it is today. That's why I am more of a Classic Who fan and in fact you can forget the shows altogether, just read the novels. Most of...

It's certainly no "mistake", at least I've never heard of one from anyone I know or reading on the net. It's a free preview sample they do once and awhile to get you to upgrade and keep the package that includes the channels you get now. DirecTV has given me their "Ultimate Pack" for a month...

That would NOT include myself as I happen to like RTD, especially since he went back to Classic Who. I'm just more of a Classic Who style of fan and can't abide the direction Moffat took the show. I still have ALL the old Classic Who on DVD and like most of the RTD shows before he departed...

This I can agree fully with you on. But keep in mind, while Doctor Who is more popular and they are not cardboard sets anymore, the show still has little budget compared to big USA shows as a whole. I don't know what the exact numbers for the BBC production of Who are, but I would guess about a...

That's the best news I have heard since RTD left the show. FINALLY, I get rid of Moffat who never knew what REAL Who actually was. But....UGGG, he's doing one last season and you have to wait until after that in 2017 to finish his rubbish. Otherwise, there is hope at last on the horizon for Who...

If you are watching Doctor Who for those reasons, then you simply are impressed by special effects alone. It takes ZERO talent for that sort of rubbish as shows like Doctor Who are ALL about the story. That's why I have been so critical of New Who, specifically those since Moffat took over.

I would agree with this and hope having 2 shows now for most episodes will finally bring back some of what has been so badly needed. The Sisterhood was always a nice plot line and I loved how they thought it was some sort of magical writing on the match box the 4th Doctor used to fix their...

That's the problem with most NEW Who fans, they simply don't know enough to draw a comparison to Classic Who. This is why I have been so critical of New Who, especially Moffat when he took over. All this spastic running around and cramming everything into a 45 minute show just doesn't work, it's...

If it's anything like the past Moffat Christmas specials, I won't be that thrilled to see it. With the exception of Snowmen, Moffat has done some of the most horrid Christmas specials ever for Doctor Who. A perfect example is how much I hated last year, when Moffat was yet again at the helm of...

I've been saying that EXACT same thing since the beginning of New Who began in 2005. FINALLY, maybe Moffat is listening to people yelling about this for years. Hopefully, he will exit the show soon and turn it over to another show runner, but at least this is something small I can hopefully look...

It couldn't work and shouldn't work based upon prior Classic Who canon. We know for a fact that Time Lords are like a humanoid life form except they have the ability with help using "The Power of Rassilan" to transfer unlimited energy into themselves and other uses. The episode "The Deadly...

You are absolutely correct about that and it has been established in Classic Who LONG ago. I put no stock whatsoever in that and believe it would be totally superfluous. It sounds like something only NEW Who fans would come up with due to lacking knowledge of prior canon.

I believe you mean "zinger" not "stinger", but I figured it out. :) I don't think it's going to be who you said and since this is just specualation no need for spoilers as everyone is guessing. My best guess is it will be The Doctor's daughter, whom we last saw regenerate in that Tennant...

So far, I think this is some good news in regard to the new season of Doctor Who and going back to multi-part episodes. Having two is almost like watch a Classic Who four part story arc, which I HIGHLY prefer. After going back and watching Classic Who from the 2nd Doctor regeneration all the way...

The BIG glaring omission here that should be NUMBER 1 is "School Reunion". It goes to show that most people responding are either new to the show since the reboot or they are under 40. Simply put, no other espisode is more relevant to Doctor Who than this episode. We get to see Elizbeth...

That still doesn't make any sense and leavs even more questions. If it was all just a "dream" except for the last scene, then why did they show the other people waking up inside their own homes, each with their own lives? Being a construct of Santa to re-unite The Doctor and Clara would make...

Busy with family during the Christmas season, but I did watch this late at night. It was a show that I was truly hoping would be closer to "Snowmen" than the other rubbish Moffat has done, but I was let down in the end. While it was whimsical and charming with both Chrismas cheer and typical...

I'll expand and give a season review once they are all finished in more detail. However, this is just one of the many examples of why I REALLY don't like Moffat. We had already established back when River Song was first introduced with Tennant that he CAN open the TARDIS by simply snapping his...

Actually, don't think I have seen that as it was a kids movie mainly. But I may have to check it out after-all as it has some high praise.

Your question has already been answered in prior post and at least once before. It's like asking the same question and expecting a different answer. So, just re-read and repeat as needed. :)
