I tried that the other day! I'm an Ood. Pretty happy with that.

I am an Ood.

"You are quiet, exceptionally bright, with an innate love of music. Like the telepathic Ood, you've always been attuned to the needs and desires of others, and you have a caring disposition. Rather than filling your life with "things" you prefer to live a humble existence within a calm, peaceful community of friends.

Beware - your passive nature can make you vulnerable to manipulation!"

Yeah that got me, especially that last part.

Yeah, I liked that bit as well Jaq.

My test crashed before the results, but I would have gotten a Ood myself too, reading the description. Can't sing like them, though.

Here the controversial bit: I liked Planet Of The Ood better than The Impossible Planet. Come at me now.

Rejoice! You are THE MASTER.

You like to control everything - and we mean everything! You've probably organized your impressive home with an obsessive flair. You're most often glued to your smartphone, with your head in a dozen projects at once. You are whip-cracking smart and super-ambitious, with your sights set on the stars and nothing less.

Beware - your tireless ambition can lure you towards greed and vanity. Remember to relax and share a cup with us plain old humans once in a while!

Okay, after digging a little more into Classic Who - where the special effects take some getting used to, but most of the stories are pretty great - I now know:

The Caves of Androzani
Earthshock
City of the Dead
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
Logopolis
The Web of Fear

(plus the existing footage of The Evil of the Daleks and The Celestial Toymaker, but that doesn't really count)

The Enemy of the World is on my list to check out soon, as is The Deadly Assassin, as I've heard there's a lot of Gallifrey in that one, but since there's so much to watch, it's quite daunting. Does anyone have any recommendations for any stories that are must-watches, that I should check out post-haste?

I thought I had fully accepted and grown to identify the Doctor as Matt Smith (and I do love his doctor) but after seeing the latest trailer I even forgot Smith's name for a couple of minutes. I was wondering was it Max? What's his last name?

Tennant will always be my fav doctor.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #2678 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:33:27 PM »

Showing the Daleks in Gallifrey and Rose saying "the moment is coming" definitely adds fuel to the "8.5 made 8 regenerate into 9" fire.

Scorpion · « **Reply #2679 on:** November 10, 2013, 08:41:30 PM »

With The Ambassadors of Death I have now watched my first Pertwee story and I just LOVED it. Pertwee will definitely be checked out further, and since there are actually no episodes missing from his tenure, I'll do this chronologically. Well, except for Ambassadors, which I have now checked already, but yeah. After this it's Spearhead in Space. I love the Brigadier.

His first season is pretty good, culminating in the awesome Inferno, which is his best serial in my opinion.

I am so damn excited about this special, plus all the other stuff going on (like the drama that Mark Gatiss wrote about the creation and early years of the show).

Not sure what you mean by 8.5 made 8 regenerate into 9. As in 8.5 force 8 to regenerate into 9 effectively committing suicide via non-existence?

Not sure about BBC America, but it's airing on BBC Two (I think) in the UK on the 21st November. It stars David Bradley as William Hartnell and Brian Cox (the actor, not the scientist) as Sydney Newman.

What's rather lovely is that they have young actors playing the parts of William Russell and Carole Ann Ford (who played the early companions Ian and Susan), but also has William Russell and Carole Ann Ford themselves playing smaller roles.

I'm not a Dr. Who fan. In fact I stopped watching with any real interest after McGann left the role.

Is this supposed to be what happened to him between the TV Movie and Chris Ecclestone ?

ariich · « **Reply #2688 on:** November 14, 2013, 12:43:52 PM »

In a way, yes. But there's rather a lot more to it than that, which I won't go into if you don't watch the show anymore.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2689 on:** November 14, 2013, 01:19:12 PM »

I never bothered with Chris' doctor at all. Saw a few of David's episodes and all of Matt's episodes looked awful that I saw.

ariich · « **Reply #2690 on:** November 14, 2013, 01:20:25 PM »

No way, the show is better than it's ever been.

I tried watching some of the classic episodes and I honestly have no idea how someone who is younger than 40 can enjoy them. The reboot and especially Tennant/Smith is the best thing that could have happened to the show.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2693 on:** November 14, 2013, 01:35:51 PM »

I really need to start at Chris' first episode and watch them all from there.

Heretic · « **Reply #2694 on:** November 14, 2013, 01:39:06 PM »

AUUUUUGHH I freaked out when I heard McGann's voice! Best prequel ever. Moffat is a genius.

The 50th is easily going to be the best thing to happen to this show. I am so pumped.
