Dr. Who has gotten totally lame!

[DotCommunist]

I thiink the Daleks have been badly mishandled in the new storylines. I want Vicious implacable robots of doom not 'I am alone in the universe' emo-daleks

I don't suppose it would translate at all cross-Atlantic, unless, like Detroit one retained a smidgeon of the old country about one's psyche.

I mean phrases like 'just six little words' (Don't you think she looks tired?) from the Christmas special.

The question that (allegedly) began the downfall of Thatcher.

And "All your boys, falling down in the mud, do you think they will thank you for teaching them it was glorious?" (Familly of Blood 2)

Have no resonance, and it just appears as cheap slightly off-beat sci-fi without the Red Dwarf laughs.

My polish friend uses doctor who as evidence that the british are all mentalists.

I imagine doctor who must have some cult following in america

 

[Calva dosser]

When the Polish reckon we're mentalists, we must be doing something right

I think Carl Sagan was a fan, alas, no longer with us.

It must do - Outpost Gallifrey is American-owned and many of the admin staff and mods are Yanks.

I agree, they're made out to look life buffoons

one must have a bit of the english in them to really understand Dr. Who

The show is not very popular here but a few do watch it. Part of that is cause its never been in major release here on a major network. Not only that but i think it has been deemed a bit too cerebral for the avg american

ok so the episode "Utopia" is on in half an hour. we'll see how that is

 

[Dubversion]

I thought it was shit when I was a kid and think its shitter now. I'm glad that at last there is a Dr Who haterzzz thread. I was starting to think I was the only person in Britain who thought it was rubbish.

abso-fucking-lutely.

oh, and it's "has become".

not "gotten"
