    Ah, Brother and Sister Whovians! I'm so glad to meet you! :)

    I've been watching the Doctor since about 1977, started with Tom Baker and the only one I haven't really seen is Chris Eccleston, which is really unforgiveable since my daughter has his series on DVD. Yes, I passed a love of the Doctor on to at least two of my three kids. The third just doesn't comprehend how she is a part of our family. Hahaha!) I love David Tennant, (and he is my daughter's favorite), and Matt Smith, but Tom Baker will always be *the* Doctor to me.

    I'm looking forward to the 50th anniversary special and, maybe not as much, to the Christmas episode.

    Yeah but they all said that when asked about it and clearly rose and tennant are in it. I think its the metacrisis doctor because of the deleted scene where 10 gives 10.5 a part of the tardis to grow his own.

    Mind blown! I've been sure it was 10 BECAUSE his TARDIS was on set while filming. So much for that theory! What's sad is that I have the Tennant Years box set and somehow missed this scene (unless it's not contained in the set?) Thanks for the link - that was really interesting!

    Its pretty nifty little thing, I just cant understand why 10 would be with rose unless I guess they jump back in time before she left being his companion which just seems like too much. OMGOSH IS IT NOVEMBER YET?

    side note I LOVE all of people talking in here now. I swear I was talking to myself for a while!

    My only issue with it being the metacrisis Doctor is that when he is with 11, that is not his future. I love the idea of the exact same man living it twice, like has been done in the other multi-Doc episodes. I would love to catch up with metacrisis Ten and Rose, but I also really want that look on Eleven's face when he feels so sad for Ten knowing what is coming for him and remembering being there the first time still full of fresh Rose-hope.

    I saw this on Reddit today! Sadly out of habit I read it in 11's voice and go very very sad :( Neat scenes though.

    edit: Finished reading the regeneration part because I apparently skipped some of it and I realllllly think that the doctor is a girl because why would a he point out perfume and a girls nose. Oh geez, fan girl moment, girl doctor (I can dream can't I?)

    From what i've read on the hinternet the speculation makes me chuckle, so far it's a female, gay, disabled, black, single parent who may or may not be an android. Not sure what boxes there are left to tick.

    I love Doctor Who, even if I'm fairly new to it (Started Watching in January. Am, of course, completely caught up). I got new Doctor Who socks at Hot Topic yesterday which will be worn today. And I have the uncommon stance of 9 being my favorite doctor :)

    I liked Nine. Nine doesn't get enough credit sometimes, I think.

    But for the record, my favorite was Four. Talk about showing my age, huh?

    isnt it on alluc.org etc etc

    Genesis of the Daleks is amazing - you should def watch the older series there are some gems in there, the dalek civil war was one of my faves (in East London obviously).

    There are the films as well don't forget, the black and white stuff although dated can be quite chilling

    If you can get hold of it, the BBC produced a lovely little pocket book the Dalek Survival Guide. I know Daleks aren't all Who fans cup of tea but I bought the book, must be about five years ago now, as a Chrimble present for my Mum and it has some great little stories, background and various other bits and pieces in it but I highly recommend it for a coffee table talking point.

    My Mum was heavily pregnant with me when they were on a trip to London and there was a place which I assume was Forbidden Planet which had a motion sensor Dalek in a recess in the wall, every so often it would 'attack' a passer by in the street. My Mum said she nearly had me there and then back in 82 :happy:

    I will be honest, I have yet to get into Dr. Who. I have a coworker who swears up and down that she will bring me dvds to watch, but so far... nothing. However, Sylvester McCoy is going to be at my place of business tomorrow! I'm excited to see him more from a Hobbit-fan perspective, but it's awesome either way! :drinker:

    We just watched this month's The Doctors Revisited featuring the Seventh. McCoy definitely leant some depth to the role, and I think I'm keen to watch more of his tenure!

    I got into Doctor Who about 4 months ago or so. I've watched all of the new episodes and a few of the older episodes. My favorite is Nine, but I have a special place for Ten (gotta love David Tennant!!). My birthday party this year was Doctor Who themed.

    Do you have the Doctor Who cookbook? She has some really fun takes on episodes. In fact, she has a specific recipe representative of every episode in New Who. I'd like to have a 50th party, but as I don't have any friends IRL who watch the show, it would (will) consist of me, my husband and daughters.

    Link to cookbook: http://www.amazon.com/Dining-Doctor-Unauthorized-Cookbook-ebook/dp/B00AGSTV6A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375325016&sr=8-1&keywords=doctor+who+cookbook

    Keep in mind it will be simulcast (not sure where you live), but it may well air in the US early in the day.
