Matt Smith Dr Who

Post by sindatur »

New Doctor, New Companion and new Tardis Control Room design pictures. I like it, always wondered why David Tennant and Christopher Eccelstone had such raggedy Control room, with wires exposed everywhere

Of the series in general? BBC America is playing David Tennant reruns now, and there's some on Demand with Comcast, and al the Dr. Who episodes so far are available on DVD.

If you meant Matt Smith's season, BBC is airing them any day now, and BBC America will be a couple weeks behind (starting April 16, I believe)

Yeah, I do mean of the Matt Smith eps. I don't have cable or satellite - I'm still going the free route for tv. I invest my money in netflix and DSL, and tend to have to wait a bit, but I don't pay nearly as much per month. But it takes considerably longer for new Doctor Who.

Is that when it's coming to Netflix, or is it going somewhere else that I don't have?

Yes much tidier. The problem with DT and CE's TARDIS is all the wires hanging out everywhere, panels flipped open, exposed electronics guts, just a shambles, and if it were real, it would be an absolute hazard to the passengers who could get electrocuted or trip over just about half the surface area of the Control room, LOL. Tom Baker actually used that Control Room also for a while (as well as the White one) and his too was neat and tidy.

It's when it's aired publicly. However, Australia can see the show earlier (15th, I think), via ABC online.

Prepare for the return of the Silurians, everyone.

This is quite a good one of the McGann-era Tardis as well, with a better view of the general style of decor:

Somehow the vaulted, candle-strewn library-like Tardis with its steampunk control console just seems to make sense to me.

I just watched the first Matt Smith episode on youtube. I must say that it did not suck! There were a few problems with the episode, but Matt Smith fills the role well in my opinion. The were several very humorous scenes.

You can watch it on youtube (until it gets taken down) in roughly 10 minute chunks. www.youtube.com/user/Gallifrey2009

I saw it, and the following episode.

What really struck me was how this Doctor seems to be younger, with what might be called an immature streak. He and Amy methinks might be looking at an arc about growing up. At least that is my take on it.

Adored that Amy saw something the Doctor did not, because after all he doesn't look at himself.

New writers as well, finally we might see the end of very long close of face sequences where teh Doctor has a decision and everything around him is falling apart(though we can't see only hear it because all zoomed in on his face)
I perfer the new Doctor, i didn't like the otehr that much but that might be becasue the writer sometimes made it overdramatic n such

I haven't even seen his first episode, but I just know he will be miles ahead of Tennant.
