Seriously? Common.

I wouldn't say that's true... I mean, looking at the end of Series 2 mainly.

No. We despise you utterly. Forever. Out.

So. Since I assume everyone but Australia has been watching the new Doctor Who series for a few months now, you lucky bastards, but we've only just got it over here. I think he's quite good. Time will tell if he outdoes David Tennant, but since you guys have, what? Six or seven new episodes? Or something, you probably have already decided. What's your opinion?

Here in Canada, I only saw what I think was the start of the new one yesterday. So it isn't everyone but Australia, it's everyone but Australia and Canada.

Oh, looks like the US is also on the delayed start list.

The series is to be shown in Australia on the ABC's iView service starting 16 April 2010[53] before airing on ABC1 on 18 April 2010. Starting 17 April 2010 it is to be shown in the US on BBC America[54] and in Canada on Space.[55]

So, at least you aren't alone.

That's a nice change. The PAL regions (whether or not PAL is just for video games, I can never remember) usually must suffer alone.

[Leafsnail]

To be fair, we usually get screwed by video game producers on both sides of the Pacific in terms of both price and release date.  So... yeah.

You know, I just started watching the "new" series (with the ninth doctor) on my blue-ray's netflix streaming.  I'm only just about at the end of the first of the tenth doctor's seasons.  But it is fun.  Oh so much fun to watch.

Incidentally, the episode I was just watching was the one in which the doctor carries the Olympic torch in the 2012 Olympics.  It turns out that there's a petition to give the honor of doing so at the real 2012 Olympics to the actor, David Tennant:

I . . . wouldn't go insulting any actor of the doctor.  I like having the English as allies, or at least friendly relations, thank you.  He's like, Britain's version of . . . Batman, or maybe Star Trek - Hard to tell from inside the States.

At first, I figured he was going to be lame, but I've heard some pretty good stuff about him.
Also, I first saw the Doctor as played by Tom Baker.
I want that scarf.

Matt Smith is quite a good Doctor, I think he fits the part a lot better than David Tennant does. He's a lot more, well I'll say goofy/wacky style, with a good sense of humour. Also, lol at sexual innuendo's.

Time of Angles was so sick.
Gonna watch Flesh and Stone in 15 minutes  .

[Jreengus]

Just watched Flesh and Stone.

Sooo, Amy turns out to be the most direct of the companions. At least she isn't just dancing around the issue like all the others. Girl knew what she wanted and went for it.

[Grakelin]

I'm digging David Tennant's sideburns. A man with a good set of sideburns is a man worth watching.

[RedKing]

I'm with ein...to me, the Doctor is curly red hair and a smashing wooly scarf, asking if you'd like a jellybaby. I was okay with Peter Davison, and by the time it got around to the 6th Doctor, it more or less vanished off American TV.

I had recently started watching some of the new episodes, and I have to say I liked David Tennant more than most of the recent incarnations.

[Mishy]

The new doctor is worse than David Tenant but i tolerated him because the angels were hot. I think i'll be watching from now on.

So... I've never watched a single episode of any Doctor Who series.  But the entire time I've been on the Internet, everywhere I go there's a whole gang of people from the Anglophone countries ranting and raving about the new season/series/whatever, let alone the countless references I find everywhere.  I have absolutely no idea what Doctor Who is about.  None whatsoever.  Okay, I know this much: there's like a bunch of guys called "The Doctor", a (time? world? dimension?) traveling phone booth, and he uses it to go places and save the day sci-fi opera style.  Like Stargate with one guy or something.

At the risk of sounding like an ass, somebody wanna sell me on it?  Or talk me out of it, because in the commercials I've seen of the new series, the actor looks like a complete tool?
