worst doctor who companion

[nicksonic]

i've mellowed towards mel slightly...

so interesting watching all the commentaries by the cast, scriptwriters, directors etc... such a good vibe between them all plus you get some genuine emotion for the series.

 

[strung out]

i'm not too fussed about mel either. partially because she was my first companion while growing up, but also because she pales into significance next to the shitness that is adric

'earthshock' was great, would've loved to have been 12 years old then.

i was 9. It's one of the episodes that stuck in my head. I was really sad about the death of Adric at the time. The shite acting of everyone except Davidson never bothered me as a child. I have millions of pictures of them that I drew. I will have to dig them out and have a scan fest sometime.

Last night my daughter insisted I played the Doctor Who theme on my ukulele before bed, then asked for the Dalek theme. Hummm.
Makes me sound like a Doctor Who mentalist, but we never watch Doctor Who together (in fact she point blank refuses) and a never discuss it with her. It's just something she seems to have picked up on.

you have achieved something i never thought possible - you've made the doctor who theme tune even cooler

watching the wargames now. it's got patrick truman from eastenders in it

oh and i'm sure george michael is in it too

 

[nicksonic]

'the war games' and 'the seeds of death' are in my 'to watch' pile along with the 'new beginnings' box set.

ATOMIC SUPLEX and i had a quick chat about doctor who on saturday night at 'the prince albert' in brixton!

Should have been a longer one over brandys

It's about a year on but I have just summoned up the courage to watch the first Langford episode of Trial of a Timelord.

As a kid I remember thinking "what the fuck?" . . . and there have been some incredibly bad actors in doctor who that didn't seem to bother me at the time. Peri Goes out in a very weird way then Bonnie pops up with no explanation as this perky peppy scrappy doo character. Ugh it's unbearable.

She has to win hands down. Wombling free, as an annoying little girl - Yes, Doctor Who - NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NON

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

thinking about it mel probably is one of the most annoying assistants as a charactor... however rose still pisses me off for the whole god-awful doctor in love plot line which appears to be having more regenerations as a plot element than the doctor is and just really lowers the tone when it rears it's ugly head

it was probably my most hated element from the TV movie (apart from the half human thing which i hope every one has forgotten*) and rose tylor was the living fucking embodiment of it...

Indeed. It's one of the things about the new doctor that pisses me off. Now he's fucking married too. Bullwank.

That's scripting though. Mel is just agony to watch from scene one.

 

[Stigmata]

Dunno what's wrong with the Doctor being married. Hartnell didn't seem the type to have a granddaughter out of wedlock.

There is all sorts of theories about that, nothing is set in stone. The married plot in the new who is all out there in the open.

Even when the Dr says he is half human in the shit beyond shit film thing, you could suggest that he meant in spirt, or in the sense of what 'being human' means.

 

[belboid]

stop fucking watching then if it annoys you so much.

I have a problem.

you seem to have misunderstood fandom and sci fi fandom in particular

we're allowed to be picky we're the god damn fans

we're just a bunch of doc-heads

Yeah, that's what I meant to say.

I got a Doctor Who scarf. I'm not sure I have the balls to wear it outside though.

you could use it to cover your tattoo

 

[nicksonic]

why the fuck not?

 

[strung out]

[nicksonic]

[nicksonic]
