Stop by the Protagonize Pub for a frosty pint and some lively banter with our members.
The Protagonize Pub is just around the corner, down a couple of doors, on the left. It's a friendly place, where Protagonizers of all shapes and sizes come to relax, take a load off, and talk about the labours of the day. Come on in, we're all writers here, and we won't bite. Well, not too much, anyway.
Whether you're a newcomer to these parts or an old hand, enter and be welcome. The topics are as varied as the people who visit, and the atmosphere is as convivial as a carnival. Meet and be met, and get to know your fellow authors. After all, we're all in this together, ain't we?
I've only seen the latest three doctors. In a way Christopher Eccleston will always be 'my' doctor - because he was my first. I was so upset after he regenerated that I refused to watch half of the David Tennant episodes (yes, I know it's sacrilegious, but there it is!!), preferring to watch things like 'Merlin' and 'Robin Hood'. Having decided that they are terrible (so bad that it's actually quite amusing!), I went back to Doctor Who in time for a few of David Tennant's and then Matt Smith. Who is extremely cute (not in thatway! He's just rather sweet).
I don't mind Amy Pond, although I hate all the press about her 'short skirts'. I mean - come on!
After just a few weeks, I have to admit that I am completely converted to Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. A mixture of great Doctor Who storylines and even better Sherlock storylines can account for that!
I wish Sherlock hadn't only been three episodes :(
@RodwenDilain - FISH CUSTARD! My sisters go mad whenever I mention either of those words, and have taken to cutting their apples with smiley faces... I wonder where this will lead... !!

Mob, what mob? *looks around quickly*
Ohhhh, that mob! *Hides in the fridge*
Hehe, nothing can get me here!!
I mostly only like Rose after/before/during she became/was/had/splurge Bad Wolf. Essentially being the sort of person that time is her private b*tch to do with as she wants. I generally like it when any character gets to the point, that the standard tenses no longer apply to them.
I also liked both Christopher and David for Doctors. They both did a very good job. With the classic doctors I enjoyed being The first and the fourth. Though everybody loves the fourth.
We get episodes on both CBC and PBS here in Canada--though, they tend to be odd with their schedules on various British Stuff. PBS is particularly bad, as when I use to watch Red Dwarf it was impossible to catch and episode as guessing the time slot was usually at best guess work.
Though, thanks for mentioning they are on daily motion. I will check them out there.
I mean, maybe one or two shows on a few channels, that required me getting a package of like ten to fifteen. Eventually I just cancelled it, as it was getting wasteful to have all those channels, and next to none I really watched.

...that was June 11, and I just finished a few days ago. So it takes about 5 months to watch the entirety of Dr. Who from beginning to present, including the movie, and including Torchwood and Sarah Jane for good measure. I couldn't bear to watch the 80's K-9 show with the weird version of K-9 :-/ Of course, that's how long it took whilst having a life in the meantime, so I'm sure you could do it faster :P
I'm only atempting to watch all of FireFly, which only has 13/14 episodes to it's name and the movie Serinity....
So how many episodes a week/day did you watch?

For some reason I much prefer to watch one loonnnnng story every night over watching random TV and movies all the time. DW is still only the *second* longest show we've watched though; Dark Shadows took about a year!

Oh how sad i feel now :( Christmas aint christmas without doctor who but this christmas i'll find yself doing anything to avoid it! My walls are still covered with the face of david tennant and i'm annoyed ta myself for not liking teh new series but i can't help it. It's only people who weren't bothered about it before and quite geeky people who like it now! I used to have my mates round every staurday we used to write, film we even went to cardiff in a transit van...people don't go crazy about it now, even if people say they do, doctor who isn't the same...Long live Russell, Julie and Phil!!
Sorry if i've annoyed anyone i honestly don't mean to...i've half lost friends throught me just not watching a TV show which i thinks pathetic and shows how pathetic people who you think are you closest friends in the entire world, actually are...
So i suggest you watch the episode "Rose"
Even though doctor who kind of makes me sad now, if i turn the TV on and it's the good ol' days i'm smiling and i can text one of my mates who kind of wandered off into depression and there's a little flame of hope there...nostalgia? guilt? I'm not sure, but it's something and i suppose that's what doctor who is! Even if you are a bit weird and fancy matt smith i mean seriously...my mate's brother is mates with him and i'm still not won over by the snob!
