nuages Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 are they going to have the new actor continue as the 9th doctor?? or are they going to make a 10 regenerations?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathshead Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Spoiler I just read on http://www.gallifreyone.com that season will end with a cliffhanger. At the end of this season, you are led to believe that the Doctor could be dead after he's saved his companion Rose - played by Billie Piper - and the Earth from the Daleks. But it turns out that there's a way for Rose to save him and that's how the second season starts. So she gets back to the TARDIS and is able to get the Doctor brought back to life. If Chris is still in the role, no problems. He's been brilliant and it will be good to have him back. The Doctor has 4 lives left. And at least one of them is where he supposedly becomes the evil Valeyard (Trial of the Time Lord - Colin Baker's last episodes). I'm betting when they get to his 13th life they'll find someway of extending his number of lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathshead Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Ooops. Made a slight mistake. I did a bit of reading on the net. It seems that the Valeyard is an incarnation of The Doctor from between the 12th and 13th incarnations. Still it'll be interesting to see what causes this incarnation of The Doctor.

tinpusher Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm betting when they get to his 13th life they'll find someway of extending his number of lives. Remember the episode "The Five Doctors?" The producers slid in a line of dialog that would address this very issue. The Castalan and Lord President Barusa offered the master a complete new cycle of 12 regenerations and a full pardon in exchange for his help in rescuing the Doctors.

Antilles Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 are they going to have the new actor continue as the 9th doctor?? or are they going to make a 10 regenerations?? Now it wouldnt be very Dr Who if they cast someone to take over as the same regeneration would it. That wouldnt make sense, so it would have to be a regeneration. As for Eccleston I hope he gets badly fecked up to regenerate, he got us fans hopes up as hes a pretty good actor and a Who fan, now hes deided to chuck it all in, sounds like a nasty rumour to me and Id like to hear it from the man himself. In the last few weeks everyones been all excited about him as the new Who, some have criticized his approach to the character but most think hes pretty good, now Im going to be watching the next 12 weeks thinking, well his heart(s) not really in it coz he doesnt give a shit. At least Billie will still be there and she was more convincing I think. Hey, perhaps they should do some kind of body swap alien thing and Rose becomes the Doctor...SCHWIIIING!! Dont take to heart my rantings Im just pissed off that the new series is getting off to a negative start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 ACTUALLY...Hang On.....has someone 'leaked' a nasty rumour 1 day too early? You know what day it is tomorrow dont ya? PS Cant even get into the Outpost Gallifrey forum or website, its JAM packed with fans complaining I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorisP Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I looked at a picture of the guy. He is not a Dr Who. I did not watch the new show. Memories are such precious things that I can't risk polluting them with stupidity like the Dr's assistant has a black boyfriend. That is Oprah Winfrey material, not Dr Who, science fiction story. Dr Who is an old guy with experience. Not some young stud who dallies with the ladies. The TV guys have ruined TV so why not Dr Who? I live in the USA. There is not a TV show worth watching. Hasn't been ever since Babylon 5 was cancelled because G'Kar sounded too much like a Palestinian so they cancelled the show to get him off of the air. USA TV is all reality shows, entertainment gossip shows or shows about sluts and whores. The new Battlestar Galactica is about sleazy sexual situation, darkness, evil, violent, physically abusive women. The new Star Gate Atlantis has a cast of Kindergartners. They can't talk and they look like they would cry for their momma the first time something bad happened to them. I wonder if there are no good TV shows anymore because there are no more actors? Today an actor is someone who looks and acts in real life they way they do in a TV show. No one acts anymore. Portraying a character other than your own. Like Tom Baker or Lawrence Olivier or Peter O'Toole or any of those guys that were actors. I fear for Britain and America. There are no men anymore to take on the manly roles. All the men are wearing makeup, having their hair done and appearing on gay shows so they look cool. There is nothing more heart sinking than to see the light glinting off the lipstick of a leading man as he fights off the bad guys. The only men left are the hispanics and blacks. Watch TV if you don't believe me. All the manly roles are going to blacks and hispanics. They aren't stupid enough to suck up all that propaganda about how men spritz their hair and go to the beauty shop for facials. Why you think all the whore shows have the whores chasing black men? Women want men, not sissy boys with makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathshead Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Richard would be cool. He's already played the 10th Doctor in the Comic Relief comedy "Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death," and more recently in the animated webcast "Scream of the Shalka."

ianisme Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 So he doesn't want to get typecast. I seem to remember George Lazenby said the same thing after his one and only Bond movie appearance (On her Majesty's Secret Service). The glittering non-career that followed suggests that maybe he made a cock-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 As someone said last week, how can you be typecast as The Doctor, how many more 900 year old time travelling-regenerating aliens can you play? I completely enjoyed Wurzel Gummidge after Pertwee finished WHo and I didnt think for 1 minute "Oh its the Doctor!" "Cuppa Tea and a slice of Sontaran cake missus! DOH!"

I thought the first episode distanced this series from all previous (including plot lines etc) when the "online conspiracy nutter" produced images of the new Docter predating the last several? Or am I missing something? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorisP Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Guys. You need to remember that this is the new century. No one tells the truth anymore. Everyone lies. Our leaders George Bush and Tony Blair lied about WMD in Iraq. Now everyone thinks it is OK to lie. "The BBC admitted last night that it "falsely attributed" a statement to Christopher Eccleston in which he said he was leaving Dr Who after one series because of fears of burn-out and being typecast." Everybody lies. Everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
