Trailer for Series 7!!!




What do you guys think?

Wolf_Potter

Looks really cool!

But I'm curretly in Season 1 LMAO!

XWingardium_LeviosaX

Omg. I'm so excited for series 7!!

Ash

I don't think I'll be able to handle episode 5 tbh.

TheDoctor

How much Classic Who have you guys watched? I've sort of started watching it more. I've only see an Unearthly Child, the Three Doctors, the Ark in Space, the Sontaran Experiment, the Ribos Operation, and the Caves of Androzani. I've also watched the TV movie with the eighth doctor.

Lord_Darkeyes

My sister's obsessed with this show. haha. she bought Netflix just for it. I really liked the first two seasons, afterwards it was alright. Now, the episodes with Matt Smith is more meh. I don't like it as much. The writing really stood out to me in Seasons 1-2. Not as much later in the series.

TheDoctor

I prefer Matt Smith + the Moffatt era. Everytime I rewatch those episodes I appreciate them more while everytime I rewatch earlier ones I become less impressed. I'm not really good at explaining myself, but I'm trying lol. Idk, I feel like the RTD era (series 1-4) is a bit more corny and the episodes tend to be a more contrived (Series 3 finale where everyone thinking "Doctor" makes him powerful and the DoctorDonna didn't do justice to her character arc, IMO).

Lord_Darkeyes

I liked Donna early on, and Martha. I don't know why, I just always loved Rose the best. Maybe because she's the first companion. I never liked Amy.

Lord_Darkeyes

Dalek: Are you afraid?.. Rose Tyler?...
Rose: ...Yeah
Dalek: So Am I.

:'( wahh!! By far my favorite episode.

RyGuy

I just watched my first episode and it was really cool! haha I'm ordering @Ash to send me moar links haha :D

Phineas

I'm still yet to watch my first ep in full...I really want to, but it's so expensive here.

I love Rose Tyler.
@Ash episode 5 :( I will be crying but I'm excited for the new companion.

aaron

I haven't really seen an episode in full, and I don't think I'm up to starting from Season 1 and watching hundreds of episodes at the moment ( :P ) but from what @Ash says and what I've found on the internet I've definitely heard great things. Hope you enjoy the season! :)

RyGuy

I just finished Series 1 and just started series 2...I really really love it!!! I'm hooked!! I already miss Chris though...his performance was absolutely brilliant. I am a huge Rose fan as well. I'm excited to see Catherine Tate come on board soon, I think she's hilarious.

I always thought the series looked a bit odd or one could say goofy, but once I started watching I was hooked! It's great! :D

Lord_Darkeyes

Catherine Tate is awesome in the show. She's my second favorite companion.

I second this. She's my favorite as well :)

silverarrowgriffin

@RyGuy yayyyyyy :D


Series 7 isn't premiering on August 25 :(

TheDoctor

August 25th is when they're doing some sort of screening of Asylum of the Daleks.

Moffat did retweet this from Doctor Who Magazine: "It's Saturday! And in just a few weeks from now, Doctor Who will be returning to BBC One with a new series! RT if you're excited! (We are!)"

Looks like it will still be soon. I'm thinking September 1st (hopefully) or September 8th. :)

silverarrowgriffin

@TheDoctor asdjsahdj really can't wait for it :D

stu_mcd

The first screening of Asylum of the Daleks is on the 14th of August not the 25th and then later on at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival which runs from the 23rd to the 25th of August.

Ash

Longest running Doctor of all time? I'm a fan though, so this is great news! :)

Phineas

Yayayayy Matt! :'D He's my favourite.

XWingardium_LeviosaX

YES! I love Matt!

RyGuy

I still havent gotten to Matt but he seems great! I am halfway done with Series 2...I'm Hooked! @-)

Lord_Darkeyes

:( I never liked Matt as much as the others (reboot wise), but that's an awesome run!

silverarrowgriffin

@RyGuy omg Series 2<3 i cried so hard at the finale and Series 3 is awesome...fave episode from that series would have to be 'Blink'--if you get there watch it in your room alone without any lights on haha

Yes! This episode left me traumatized but its really good.

TheDoctor

The titles for all the first 5 episodes are out:

"Coming soon: Asylum of the Daleks, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, A Town Called Mercy, The Power of Three, The Angels Take Manhattan..."

And apparently Asylum airs on September 1st.

silverarrowgriffin

@TheDoctor I was really hoping it'd be out next week :(

Ash

I'm not sure any opening episode can top series 6 for me, I loved it so much

Ash

But I can't wait! :D

stu_mcd

There seems to be a massive reveal in the first episode that hasn't been spoiled yet. Everyone at the screening is keeping quiet about it

Yeah apparently (not really a spoiler, but is a bit more specific as to what the reveal is)

Spoiler:

a new "very important" character is introduced.

Same, that opening 2 part is so gripping and the Silence are one of my favorite villains. Plus River :x

I'm excited XD

TheDoctor

New little teaser from Asylum of the Daleks:

silverarrowgriffin

silverarrowgriffin

BBC America is premiering it on Sept. 8

silverarrowgriffin

@Ash September 1 for you!! :D

TheDoctor

Apparently they stopped showing the September 8th at the end of the trailer though. Hopefully they change it to be in sync with the British date because having it on a different date would be such a dumb move lol. Tons of people (including me) aren't gonna wait a week and will just get it online. Their ratings will suffer, plus Doctor Who is on the rise in the US and this would just be counterproductive to that, I think.

Ash

What an awesome birthday present :3 can't wait! So sad about the Ponds!

New photos:
Amy :(

Phineas

So today I went and bought seasons 2, 4, 5 and 6. Planning on getting 1 and 3 tomorrow. After watching a few eps on tv of seasons 5 and 6, it's safe to say I'm well on my way to becoming a Whovian.

New trailer from BBC America

Pond Life:

it's a mini-adventure in 5 parts

XWingardium_LeviosaX

I'm so, so excited! BBCA is sponsoring the premiere screening for Doctor Who here in NYC! Its at 6. Matt and Karen are coming. I'm super stoked.

Phineas

So now I have all six seasons. ^_^ I've just watched the first two episodes of series one. I love it. I wasn't familiar with Christopher Eccleston, so I was a bit weary of him at first, but I really like him. And I love Billie Piper. It was also interesting to see Zoe Wanamaker, our dear Madam Hooch, as 'the last human'. The thing I love about British tv is you never know when Harry Potter alum are going to pop up.
Can't wait to watch moar!

Lord_Darkeyes

There are many harry potter characters in Doctor Who. Hooch, Dobby, Dumbledore, Narcissa... There are many more, but I forgot. Lol.
