Doctor Who Thread III: Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow

[dps]

Frankly, I don't even know how 3D works on the TV screen.

The same way it works in a theatres. You just need to have a 3D TV for it to work.[/QUOTE]

So we won't be able to watch the show if we don't have a 3D TV? That sucks.

We will, it just wont be 3D. Unless they are stupider than I could possibly imagine.

[Jimorian]

No, it just means you'll see it in 2D instead of 3D. The image is split into "left eye"/"right eye", and if you don't have a 3D TV, it will only show one of those options, not try to smash them together. It's 3D movies that if you don't wear the glasses where it's a jumbled mess.

[Thufir]

Note to self: at next meetup/mini-meetup insist upon seeing a 3D movie. 'Cause.

Curse you, vile temptress!

Why have I been absent?
An ill mother, several job interviews (all fruitless) that required a lot of prep and travel time (now wasted time) and getting back into beta-reading fic online.
Seriously, what's the point in going thousands of pounds into debt when you can't even get a job working at the till of your local corner shop let alone something that pays actual money?
*is depressed and not feeling good about herself*
Urgh. Where does one go for excessive encouragement about continuing projects done in one's free time?

Myself, I get the vast majority of my encouragement from Serp. For you... I guess I could say some nice things about you reviews and stuff. Except for right now it's 8:20am and I'm only awake because I have to get ready for an all-day rehearsal, so it'll have to wait until I'm a bit more with it and have the time to spare.

[CelestialStick]

Nope, I'm with you on this one, as I have been obstinately refusing to go see things in 3D ever since it became a thing.

I saw Thor in 3D. Then someone bought me Thor for my birthday and I watched it in 2D, and liked it just as much. I haven't gone to another 3D movie since.

@the person who wanted Class Who recommendations whose name I forgot because I'm doing umpteen billion and two things at once at half two in the morning whilst coming down with a severe cold:

SEE 'THE INVASION'. It is a Second Doctor story and frankly, I think it's one of the best Doctor Who stories I've ever seen Nu or Classic.
It has Jamie, who is adorable!
It is UNIT! The first time they were ever called UNIT as well too (I think)!

I'd thought that they were British military until Spearhead from Space, but according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...ntieth_century, you're right that UNIT started with Invasion.

Also note that it'll be broadcast in standard def on BBC one, HD on either BBC HD or BBC one HD and 3D on the other.

What about on BBC America?

[Androgeus]

Probably SD. Is there a BBC America HD channel?

[CelestialStick]

I didn't know it before just a few moments ago, but we do have a BBCA HD, and my cable providers carries it on channel 1226--not that my old TV, which predates HD, could give me an HD picture, much less 3D. I didn't even really know that 3D TV existed, and I see on a quick search of Amazon.com that the smallest, least expensive one carries a price of about $370 or about £238, which is probably too expensive for me. Amazon has HD TVs for substantially less, so I'd probably go for one of them if my old TV stopped working.

[Hullabaloo]

Probably SD. Is there a BBC America HD channel?

Yes, I have watched all the eleventh Doctor in HD on BBC America either live or on demand. Not sure about 3d, don't have any of that tech. HD tv is a very nice upgrade, for not bad of a price now. I would not recommend 3D at this point unless you have $$ and like to show off gadgets. I think in 2 years time price will really drop, quality will go up, and it will be adopted more

Just watched blink, and finally getting the wibbly wobbly quote :)

[Hullabaloo]

April I believe. Exact date unknown.

Following up on this.

"‘Doctor Who’ Returns to BBC AMERICA March 30"

More info in the link

Also, going back and watching the trailer, after watching the ninth and tenth Doctor, I really think Smith is the best of the three. Might just be one of those 'my first time things' :)

The only computers the Doctor endorses

[Weezer]

It talks to other computers? Hah who needs that.

It was good to see Lalla Ward again. I don't think I properly appreciated back then how pretty she was.

[Androgeus]

Yhea, who needs computers to send data to each other when I can just give it to you myself! They should stop wasting precious KB with this bloatware

[Hullabaloo]

List under: I would watch it

“The Big Whobowski”

Exactly! Even though it has a whole 6 MB of space on its disk, why waste it?

Worth a look:

Every Doctor Who episode, ever.

That...was...phenomenal.

Promo pics of the Ice Warriors

We also have promo pics of the New Moffat monster from the episode with the confirmed title of Bells of St John. Behold the menacing might of the Spoonheads!

Personally, I think the spoonheads look naff but there we go. Usually Moffat monsters are better if they come from something scary first, like creepy children, statues, shadows and black spots in your memory. Not from Snowmen, face tendrils or Spoons. Unless you are a member of the trenchcoat brigade you have no reason to fear spoons.

Maybe there IS no spoon.

[Psycho Yuffie]

The Doctor's new companion is pretty hot. Can't wait for the new episodes. :D

Honestly, Daleks are one of the dumbest looking villains I can think of and I think they're awesome. And I've never thought children, statues, shadows, or the fact that I have a piss-pour memory as scary. So, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt until we see the spoony ones in action.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Oh, the puns. Oh, the puns.

Jon Pertwee, who played the Third Doctor, shared your disdain for the Daleks.

[Hullabaloo]

As someone that watched the eleventh Doctor, and then went back to rewatch

Spoiler

Show

I really enjoyed the Silence in the Library/Forest and the 'introduction' of River. Must have been much different seeing it the other way around.

[Eldan]

That might have been the last time I liked River as a character, coincidentally.

[Androgeus]

That might have been the last time I liked River as a character, coincidentally.

Or for River the first time you liked her

Also have a full body pic of the new Ice Warrior design

[Eldan]

That looks incredibly silly. Though it seems that what we see her is just armour? The face is open and the pieces don't really fit together the way skin would. (I don't know the Ice warriors.)
