Why does she look like she's 16 when she's 24 years old? What witchcraft is this?

Edit: Apparently she was in the Captain America movie as "Connie". Maybe she was one of the two girls Rogers and Bucky went to the World's Fair with?

Yeah she does look younger then 24 but that might be way she got the role appearing younger then her age is a good match for the Doctor. I think she might had been one of the girls with them at the Worlds fair.

It appears that BBC America is starting up this Saturday. I am not sure if across the ocean they are already enjoying the new season or not. (I'd like to think that this day and age they could debut on the same day, but of course that doesn't happen).

They released a list of episode names for the first half of the season I believe. Including one about Angels in New York which has lead to some speculation about the possibility of the Statue of Liberty being a giant Weeping Angel...

Do you know if you can watch Doctor Who on BBC America's website? Due to budgetary concerns I had to drop a lot of stations from my Satellite service.

The season premiere was on yesterday in New York ... somewhere. I only know because Dan Slott gushes over it on Twitter. All. The. Time.

1. They had a season premiere screening in NYC last weekend, but the season itself doesn't start until this Saturday (including in Britain).

2. They do not put the episodes up on their website. If you are okay with downloading the episodes, you can use eztv, otherwise you're SOL without cable.

3. I am SO. EXCITED.

I started watching Doctor Who earlier this summer. Just reached David Tennant's tenure, and I'm excited for that. By the time I get through the four other seasons, I'm sure this one will be readily available.

My girlfriend is one season behind and it's been hard enough trying to catch her up in time for tomorrow. We just started this week.

I hear season 5 gets really depressing. Is it really depressing? Am I going to be depressed?

Is season 5 the last Tennant, or the first Smith?

Series 5 is the first one with Smith. It actually is a bit dark and ends with the Universe being destroyed a little. It does have one of the best episodes featuring the Weeping Angels though.

Apparently a lot of people skip Eccleston's season. Having seen it, I'm appalled by this.

Season 2, Episode 1 was ridiculously awesome. I'm super excited for Tennant's stint.

First Smith season.

I didn't think it was depressing. Compared to the last Tennant season where he sets everything right, and then promptly dies.

Eccleston is the 1st season I watched, and as a result HE is Doctor Who to me. That being said, after Smith debuted he became my favorite Doctor.

Doctor Who? I had to put a spoiler on the ?. That is the "question" that must never be answered. And in the premiere, it is the question that all the Daleks are now asking. Probably not a coincidence. Interesting enough.

The writing and acting in the Eccleston series is bloody fantastic. If you are at all familiar with all the ye olde adventure style Doctor Whos, it is even ten times better, as they deconstruct and critically examine Dr Who's lifestyle, and the carnage it can create amidst all his good intentions and running away. I have to say I rate Ecclestone and Tennant as my coequal favourite modern Dr Whos, with Smith as a distant third, even though he too gets some great writing, especially the River Song arc and the Neil Gaimon episode.

"Rose and the Heart of the Tardis" moment, which happens in an Eccleston episode, is one of my all time favourite moments in TV. Sorry to oldies to the thread, cause I said all that before.

They could had done some cool stuff if the girl was taken as a new companion. Still a nice twist for a season opener.
#148 Sep 30 2012 at 9:43 AM Rating: Good
Fall finale has aired, and Amy and Rory are gone. I have very mixed feelings about how they did it. On the one hand, I've always been partial to them and wanted them to be able to go home eventually, but I think they've done a good job in the past couple of episodes showing that that kind of life wouldn't have suited them anyway. It's always a risk for the companions that they won't get to escape the next adventure, so they successfully drove that point home as well. They kept Amy and Rory together (which, let's be honest, the uproar if they hadn't would have been too much for them to risk it), but I didn't feel like the two of them and the Doctor got to say a proper goodbye, even with the page in the book. Time now to look forward to the next companion I guess.

I'm going to miss them. Smiley: cry

I liked their ending. Rory couldn't escape. And Amy couldn't live without him. Creepy little Weeping Angel Cherubs are Creepy. Though I can't say I'm a fan of the one blowing out the candle while Rory was watching. I thought the idea was that the Angels ceased to actually exist as beings once they were being watched, that they were actually nothing more than statues then? Maybe I'm mistaken. The statue of liberty as a weeping angel was a bit... anti climactic. When I first heard the rumors I was hoping something else, not really it walking around the city all.. Stay Puff Marshmallow Man like.

On the one hand, the ending itself was pretty good. I really liked how they forcibly separated Amy and Rory from the Doctor while still implying that they had a happy ending afterward.

On the other hand, the episode itself featured both River Song (bleh) AND Weeping Angels (double bleh.) For me that was two big strikes against it right from the start. (And the statue of liberty being an angel? Really? I waited the whole episode waiting for it, hoping it wouldn't happen, and then it did and it was just as stupid as I feared.)


Also, can we be done with Weeping Angels already? 'Blink' was a great episode, but as a recurring enemy they're pretty annoying.

You waited the whole episode to see it? It showed it in the first 5 minutes. The first guy running from the angels and who saw himself die of old age in the bed (same as Rory) ran to the roof (same as Rory) and was the Statue of Liberty Angel (same as Rory). The entire scene at the end with Rory, Old Rory, and the Building was a duplicate of the opening five minutes with a different person. Until he jumps and dies of course, but ya.
