I've heard there was a fair amount of same-sex stuff-hey, whatever-in the program.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-62225601578886144352009-09-10T21:16:06.187-05:002009-09-10T21:16:06.187-05:00The biggest problem I have with the recent Doctor ...The biggest problem I have with the recent Doctor Who series is that they have tried to "sex" them up a bit.<br /><br />There is more emphasis placed on romantic tensions between the Doctor and his companions than in the older series.<br /><br />Gridlock is the 3rd show of the 3rd new series.<br /><br />I also like the spin-off show Torchwood which I think you Yanks can also get (although they do push a very heavy "gay" pride agenda).Ausgaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-69510807495240431412009-09-09T05:30:34.381-05:002009-09-09T05:30:34.381-05:00Doc-You're probably right about the different ...Doc-You're probably right about the different episodes and Doctors.<br /><br />And personally I didn't care as much for Red Dwarf once they had Kochanski aboard (Chloe Arnett did a good job in the part but there was something about Clare Grogan I liked).

There's something about Dr Who that does get one hooked-perhaps the 'unconventionalness' of a time/space traveling, regenerating main character. It does give the scriptwriters a lot of latitude for story creation.yankeedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030949627569532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-23477667464979053082009-09-09T01:36:12.402-05:002009-09-09T01:36:12.402-05:00I didn't know you you didn't know about th...I didn't know you you didn't know about the reboot. Ol "Jug Ears" (Christopher Eccleston) played the first new Doctor with Billie Piper as the companion. I think the Ep you caught was second season. They do have split eps and also an overall arc (which you wont pick up from one ep), I still like my Dr Who.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624625396553110110.post-76110367025212346962009-09-09T01:27:08.132-05:002009-09-09T01:27:08.132-05:00DMDY is a long-term Dr Who fan (since Tom Baker an...DMDY is a long-term Dr Who fan (since Tom Baker and the cricket-vest bloke) but likes the new stuff just as much as the old stuff. I think it's horses for courses. Red Dwarf's a good analogy actually - I like the ancient, wheezing, shaking-sets early series as much as I like the last series from about 10 years ago with the CGI and decent cinematography.Dr Yobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032085614743539793noreply@blogger.com
