I don't know about literature, but I agree about "Blink." That was hands down the best Doctor Who yet.

oh man oh man oh man...I watched Blink last nite (we've been so busy that I had to catch up on pt 2 of The Family of Blood, loved the ending on that one, and Blink last nite)

It was MOST awesome. I do not think I will ever be able to walk thru and old cemetery ever again without thinking about the statues.

Dave and I loved how the people that went back in time got to at least lead happy and productive lives and how Sally got to meet him to give him the transcript.

I just cant say enuff about how much I really loved this one

great underated sci-fi show back in the day

Utopia: Part 1

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!!!!

Fuckin' A! Spoiler: The Master is back! Well played good sirs.

Keep watching, the next two are stellar.

John Sim is a great actor. If anyone saw "Life on Mars" they'll know what I'm talking about - best show on TV the last couple of years. He'll make a very good Master.

Im confused Will (or fresnelly) is Utopia episode names for Doctor Who, or is it something else entirely?

I finally got to watch the premier of Torchwood last nite....dont know that I was all that impressed, I'll be watching the 2nd epi tonite hopefully and will have a better opinion.

It's the name of the third most recent episode of Dr. Who. Season 3 (of the recent incarnation) episode 11. it's the first part of a three part season ender.
Episode 2 picks up considerably, but the ones that really got me came a bit later. The following are my favorites: Episodes 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 (amazing!), 10, 11, 12 (my favorite Spoiler: I'm not gay, but I found it truly romantic), and 13. It picks up strong.

Yeah, Torchwood can be wildly uneven but when the writers find the right balance, it's great. I'm betting that it will settle down a bit in the second season and prove more consistent.

oh ok I see where I got confused... lol you're watching season 3 episodes that havent aired yet Utopia is on this coming friday

Yes!

Get ready for three amazing episodes.

Torchwood was entertaining enough, but I didn't think it was all that special. Episode 3 was good and I thought episode 5 was excellent, 7 was alright, and 12 and 13 were pretty good. I can pretty much take or leave the other episodes though.

how are y'all seeing these already?

Amazon UK. Also friends.

oh, so you have a way to watch region 2 dvd's :( I dont

http://www.google.com/search?client=...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

I suppose it'd be legal to buy the DVD in the UK, and back it up by download the torrent. I dare the MPAA to say crap about that.

ooo I will have to go home and see what kind of player we have and see if its on the list....then somewhere find a region 2 something to see if it actually works lol

Both Doctor Who and Torchwood can be found in streaming format through tv-links.co.uk.

So can Blakes 7. ;)

well I checked....nothing for the player I have :( oh well

thanks for the link fresnelly!! unfortunately they dont have the classic patrick troughton episode Im looking for :( (The Highlanders)

Bittorrent. I watch them as they air in Britain.

Shhh....

I really wish I understood this bittorrent thing y'all always talk about but I realize thats another thread....the tv link to uk stuff is awesome!!! thanks

Download a bit torrent application. Go to Mininova (now that torrentspy is down). Find your video of choice. Download the torrent. Open the torrent with the bit torrent application. You're downloading.

Allegedly. I've, of course, never pirated anything before in my life.

Shani, I'm afraid I have some bad news about The Highlanders episodes. The BBC shortsightedly copied over several of the master tapes from the 60's episodes, including The Highlanders

From Gallifreyone.org:

However,

willravel: That's why I use private trackers, to minimize the likelihood of being watched ;) That, and because I can frequently get the episodes very soon after they air and at extremely fast speeds.

hehehe I just saw the final epi of season 1 of torchwood (by the way....Im totally hooked on the show now) I loved how it ended. Unfortunately, the link that was posted previously is no more. I went there to see if there was anything on season two of TW and it was gone...I found this

I did read on wiki though that evidently we are going to get season 2 at the same time the UK does, (unless wiki is wrong) It comes back January of 2008

I am finally getting a chance to watch Doctor Who.

I just finished watching series one and just moments ago saw the new Doctor appear. Just as I was really getting to like Eccelston.

He was a great Doctor. I am sad to see him go.

I can't believe I waited this long...

I did not like Eccleston in the beginning but I began to appreciate that hidden somberness in his character, the idea of him carrying the weight of what he has seen. Same thing happened when Tennant started... wasn't quite sure what to make of him. I watched most of the episodes first because I missed the Christmas Invasion. Once I saw the first Christmas Invasion and again saw that same somber attitude, he was OK to stay. :P

Tennant brings back those quirky behaviors that were best in Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy. I hope he sticks around since there aren't that many regenerations left... :(

Oh and don't read this Spoiler: MY FAVORITE SCENE HAPPENS IN SEASON THREE!!! YOU SEE THE TARDIS FLYING OVER ROADS OF LONDON CHASING AFTER A CAR!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Yeah I geeked out over that one.

I still want to know what happened with Paul McGann as the Doctor! I really liked the character he brought as the Doctor in that one time movie on Fox.

Paul McGann would have been cool... Doctor Who as envisioned by a US studio? Not so much.

I could not possible imagine Dr Who created in America... Could you believe that they had McCoy Spoiler: die on operating table after being shot while walking out of the TARDIS... not cool!

While perusing pictures of David Tennant in a kilt I found this and found it quite amusing lol

Ahahahahaha! That is fantastic.

Did anyone catch the new Voyage of the Damned.... oooooh. They are creating new situations... but with the same elements in it. If you are a fan of the oldies, and watch this, you'll know what I am talking about.

Im still tryig to figure out when we are going to get the new season......Torchwood season 2 starts on the 26th of this month but I cant find anything at all on Dr Who

BBC doesn't typically advertise that information too far in advance. It'll be sometime in the spring. And after that season there will be a 2 year break.

You mean spring in the UK or spring here? I cant quite work out if the UK has seen season 4 BBCA and Sci Fi DO advertise a boatload of time in advance so Im thinking that the UK hasnt even seen it yet...and with Doctor Who, dont we see it a year behind them?

Last time I looked you guys have Spring at the same time as the UK :)

Just be glad you don't live in Australia - TV backwater of the developed world.

Hehehe...

Ohhhh, Shani's talking about the different schedules for Doctor Who - BBC vs Sci-Fi. I was talking about the BBC schedule, I have no idea when season 4 will air on Sci-Fi (has season 3 even aired on Sci-Fi?).

Seriously, it's worth the extra effort to download the BBC episodes...they don't have parts cut out for commercials, and they air earlier.

I didn't really like the Christmas special... I dunno...

I thought it was entertaining enough...which is my typical reaction to episodes written by Russel T. Davies. I can say one thing for sure, I'm rather sick of The Doctor always having a female companion and there always being some sort of interest in a relationship, whether it's one-sided or not. Once was fine, but this is getting silly. I'm pretty confident that it's mostly RTD's doing, and I think I'll enjoy the turn the show takes once he leaves.
