And of those 18 there's a lot of tease. You don't want to just watch The Ribos Operation without watching the whole Key to Time arc.

Well, shit...
There's a 285 GB torrent I'm in the process of downloading that seems to have "everything," including the fan (?) recreations of the missing episodes. Unfortunately it mostly hovers around 20 k/s, every once in a a while I'll grab a seed and pull 1 meg, but unfortunately it is woefully slow. First two arcs have been prioritized and are almost finished, so will at least have those to work with.

I really wouldn't mind to be honest. I think they're fun. The scene with the horse cracked me up, and Jenny is growing on me.

Dying for some sort of lore after this episode, it really left me wanting. I found this on the interwebs. Gave me a boner. Pretty big 50th anniversary spoiler and possibly the Doctor's true name. At least I think I know who John Hurt is playing.


You're warned....

Just going through the "Unaired Pilot" (or whatever it is) and thought that door at the beginning looked real familiar...

Too bad they lost their chance to get Benedict Cumberbatch, I doubt he would go from doing two blockbuster films in a year back to TV, other than Sherlock which he is already known and signed on for.

I doubt they would go for a much older guy or a previous regeneration. Would be interesting if John Hurt is the 12th Regeneration/Valeyard and Tennant/Smith team up to defeat and regenerate him into the new actor for the 13th.

Benedict Cumberbatch would be the perfect 12th Doctor... because he could easily be the Valyard as well.

They could get Robb Stark to do it since he's already dating Clara.

Rupert Grint.. he could finally be ginger!

Ruth Wilson is the only correct ginger answer.

When geffe said it was confirmed that Smith was back in 2014 I looked all over and never saw it officially said anywhere so the only real surprise is why they are confirming it now, I wonder if a Sunday newspaper was going to break it tomorrow so they jumped ahead of it.

Here's a random thought for the day/week, once it was finally established that River didn't kill the Doctor and instead just shot the robot-thingy, exactly Who-se (haha! *coughs*) murder was she imprisoned for? That plot thread seems to have been abandoned of late but popped into my swede a few days ago as I rewatched some random old episodes.

Was interesting in light of the upcoming story to see the crazy Dalek (who supposedly knows all after nuking his own mind breaking the Daleks out of the time lock) refer to the Doctor as the Dark Lord...

river kills john hurt's Doctor who is known as the Dark Lord? anyway, its a good move to have smith move on. cant wait for the next guy because this show was growing dull as hell. if we are lucky maybe moffat will GTFO too.

Apparently both The Mail and The Telegraph were going to run it tomorrow so the BBC agreed to give them quotes if the Beeb got to at least break the story themselves first.

JFC, that Grint shit is all over the SA thread. I am deffo done if he gets the role. They've had a couple of relative unknowns (at the time of casting) for the last two, maybe they'll row the boat out a little more this time.

Sweet merciful crap if Hugh Laurie did the Doctor I think the universe would tear asunder.


I love how the selection of the new Doctor has all of geekdom fired up. The Doctor is the Geek Pope.

I would not look forward to the "Who's House" meme that gets created if Hugh Laurie becomes the next doctor.

The next doc likely wont be,an older man. Probably a younger person. So im a little worried that Ron Weasly as The Doctor could really happen. Id be more susceptable to a malfoy Doctor or even a fucking joffrey barratheon Doc.
