Brit Sci Fi (Torchwood, Dr. Who, etc.)

Linus · 05-08-2010, 05:50 PM

Anyone else a fan? I've been reviving my love of BBC sci fi by watching all the series/seasons of Torchwood (AWESOME SHOW!) and the more recent Dr. Who series/season (although I still say that Tom Baker was pretty awesome!)

Rook · 05-08-2010, 05:57 PM

I watch Dr. Who at every chance I get {BBC-A / ScyFy *re-runs*}
And I want to try out Torchwood, since a friend of mine is Obsessed with it, she'll talk about it often and I wanna be able to follow the subject at hand...

The Latest Dr. Who {Tonight @ 9 pm Eastern} involves one of my Favorite Who villains, the statue Angels that come after you if you Blink {my other favorite villain is, of course, The Master}
I still prefer Tennant, but this new one's ok, once the "Stuck on Stupid" mode melts off..

If you have NetFlix they have all of Torchwood on Online Play or DVD, your choice. It's one of the first TV shows that I've seen that ties in LGBTQ as if it's natural. First seasons is ok but after that it gets pretty amazing.

I'll have to consider netflix in June, or July then, my friend used the LGBTQ bait also, 3 times
{I stopped Netflix because they're too lazy to care about adding Captioning to their Stream..The small effort might help them Dominate the Market with Deaf and HoH}
I think what peaked my curiosity with Dr. Who was sheer boredom one day at Dialysis, and they were in New New York, the "Sisters" were literally cat-girls..

The closest I have come is the BBC version of "Life on Mars," which is far better than the US version. I am more a fan of their crime/cop shows.

I can agree on the closed captioning. However, many DVD programs on computers have that feature so you could get the DVDs

I was raised on Doctor Who and was over the moon when they revived it, even though David Tennant was the best new Doctor, this new guys growing on me, And being british, I get to see it as it comes out ...

tonaderspeisung · 05-08-2010, 06:47 PM

i didn't think i'd like the new incarnation of the series - i worried they would try to make it more like a star trek and heavy on the special effects and technology
the anti-ness of all that made the earlier incarnation the awesomeness that they were
but i was totally reeled in with the first season

k-9 was always a favorite

Have your seen Survivors. Its not really sci -fi ...more end of the world, epidemic kills most of the population, epidemic caused by pharmeceutical company, type show. But reallly good. We watched the first two seasons. Hoping a third season comes along soon. BBC America on demand probably has it and netflix might have the DVDs.

I'm actually going to look into that once I finish my morning routine of forums.

Rook · 05-09-2010, 10:08 AM

That always confuses me for a moment...

"New series of Dr. Who / Torchwood !"
huh? wait, New series?? When'd the last series end?
Oh, wait..duh..
series = season

[Kinda curious about survivors, once I figure their sequence]

ruthie14 · 05-09-2010, 10:32 AM

I love Dr Who and Torchwood!! I miss Torchwood a lot. Did they take it permanently off the air??? Are they making more of them in the UK? I DVR most Dr Who's I am rarely home when it is on so I have several saved for a rainy day at this point. Ahhh scfi. This femme definately has a geek side and proud of it!!!! lol Have to check out this Survivors you all are talking about. I watch so little tv, that if ppl don't tell me about a show I never hear about them. hehe.
