Brit Sci Fi (Torchwood, Dr. Who, etc.) - Page 2

MsDemeanor · 05-09-2010, 11:37 AM

We love Torchwood and Dr. Who. Martha Jones was a lame companion, though, and was my least favorite season. I adored Rose, and the season with Donna Noble was the best! "Blink" and "The Girl in the Fireplace" are permanently saved on my Tivo so that I can watch them from time to time.

Life's been hectic the past few months, so we haven't seen any of the new Doctor, but the episodes are all saved on Tivo. One day we'll have a marathon.

Blink
The Family of Blood
Utopia
The Sound of Drums
Last of the Time Lords
The End of Time

My faves...
I managed to trigger curiosity in my relatives after sitting to watch "Blink" for dinner one time..
Their review? "Ok, Spooky..I'll never see gargoyles or Weeping Angels the same again.."
Martha Jones seemed too...Like they tried too hard..{Didnt she pop up once when Rose was Doctor's companion?..Cybermen episode "Army of Ghosts", she was one of the clerks in Torchwood?}

Yeah, she was a clerk in an earlier Torchwood before they then had her back as Martha ... and she did appear toward the end as another clerk in the final Rose episodes too. There seems to be a shortage of british actors, so they're all used multiple times lol

Hopefully that'll bring a few smiles to some fans faces!

Kick ass! Means I won't likely see it until 2011/2012 but good to know they are going to continue the franchise.

Linus · 07-24-2010, 08:05 PM

I just finished watching this season of Doctor Who and all I can say... OMFG! What an awesome show! Matt Smith has done a wonderful job as the Doctor and Karen Gillian is great as Amy. Stephen Moffat, who is this seasons writer, has done a wonderful job at creating an intricate story line/arc to follow. I keep wondering how Dr. River Song (played by Alex Kingston) will change the Doctor. It appears she'll be appearing in the 2011 series so we'll likely see more of her.

Now, if Torchwood could be continued that'd be great!

I am right there with you Linus... I loved it too!! I also miss torchwood... wish they would continue that one as well!!!!

They are. Starz and BBC are working on it (stories are being written right now). It was announced on June 7th. I think we'll see new stuff from Torchwood in 2011.

Massive · 07-24-2010, 08:24 PM

Well, from what I've read Torchwood will be continuing and the next series of Dr Who will be made in conjunction with an american television production company!

Adding Sanctuary and Being Human to list of groovy BBC programming. LOVE some Helen Magnus!

Jess · 07-25-2010, 06:46 AM

Being Human trailer..

07-25-2010, 06:50 AM

Oh my Lord! Dr.Who/Torchwood/Survivors fans.

Jeez Survivors is an old programme I remember watching that in my teens.

Has anyone yet worked out that Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who?

I love the Dr's new assistant Amy Pond and really enjoyed the last series, the first with a new writer Stephen Moffat. I didn't think it could be as good as the Russel T Davies scripts but I believe Moffat has stepped upto the plate in good style.

If you like Brit tv then I highly recommend Mongrels

Blaze · 07-25-2010, 06:58 AM

guess I am a quirk. Because I also like Animated movies too like; Thunderbirds, the whole series lol. I also really liked ; Man in a white suit.And come to think of it, the original; Wall-e was Britt originally so I really loved both Britt and US versions.

Camo Eagle · 04-29-2011, 10:51 PM

Count me in for Torchwood. Loved It.
Also: HEX, AfterLife, The Hungar

Linus · 06-11-2011, 09:57 PM

OMFG!! Did anyone watch Doctor Who tonight on BBC America?? Talk about time travel challenges!! And Torchwood via Starz starts soon but I can't get the DVR to record it for some reason. It's not finding it in the guide.

Gonna be a long summer.

EmpressM · 06-11-2011, 10:09 PM

OMFG! is right! Great episode tonight! I miss Donna though...She was the best!

LOL ya she was very quirky! But I think she worked best with Tennat and Pond is better with Smith as it allows him to be even quirkier and have more of an expressive face range.

EmpressM · 06-11-2011, 10:23 PM

Very true, Donna wouldn't work with Smith. I just frequently find myself thinking, "shut up, Pond!" She annoys me. I've been a DW fan since I was a little girl, and so far Pond is my least favorite companion.

Massive · 07-13-2011, 03:04 PM

Torchwood, new series, starting either next week or the following week here in the UK, so it shouldn't be long before it hits your version of the BBC!
Hopefully...
