I downloaded Torchwood from the beginning as I knew my parents would never let me stay up that late on a school night to watch it, did miss the ability to discuss about current plot points with friends though without knowing what happens after

Yeah, that always sucks

I'm lucky enough my parents decided they wanted to watch Doctor Who spinoff as well... that and we make good use of the recorder when we really want to watch something but are too tired to do so. (Or it screens at some ridiculous time.)

I've been a DWho fan since ... well... forever. Favourite episodes... Eh, too many, but off the top of my head probably "Blink". I absolutely hated the pig/manhatten/dalek arc - IT WAS SO BAD.

Favourite Doctor so far... It would have to be Tennant. Of course I like them all, but David Tennant. He has manly sideburns for a start.

Also, Spinoffs=FAIL (for me at least). I won't go near them. They're like... Sacrilige. Eugh.

Heh. I think my doctor who fanliness began when I was about three, and I was OBSESSED with daleks. Primarilly my Dads classic original Dalek salt and pepper shakers, from like...the era of the second doctor. They used to EXTERMINATE My Little Ponies..

I didn't watch an episode until I was about twelve, though.

By PIe. 06/09/09, 11:36 am

My dad and daleks got me into it aswell, dad made a life size dalek when he was 15, I remember seeing photos of it when I was 7 and asking to see the show, I'm so glad I did because the old Drs, while not as cool as the recent ones, were awesome

By Sockcat. 06/09/09, 02:29 pm

I agree. The old DWhos are absoutely classic. I have memories of a conversation with a friend in intermediate because she insisted my earrings looked like daleks Very Happy

About 12 years ago:
My Dad was sooo excited when he found out they were going to play the classic Dr Who eps on TV!

Ahhh
The whole family huddled around the small kitchen TV eating dinner and watching that nights Doctor Who episode!
Because the classic eps are only half an hour each story would be spread over 2-5 episodes, and the eps ALWAYS ended with the Doctor and which-ever-compainion getting into some sort of trouble.

~*~The antisipation for the next week's ep.

~*~The monsters that look funny now, that were so freaky when you were 5 you hid behind the chair.

~*~The family discussion about the ep that lasted like an hour after it finished (the ep was only half an hour Razz

)

Ahhhh
That was amazing times!

I have now corrupted Ollithia, she has watched season 1 of the new series and is begging for more!! I'm the coolest!! Also MM, please don't forget Torchwood season 3 for my party on sat!

By Rocky. 18/09/09, 10:36 am

My cats eyes look like ood eyes. I just realised this. And now I am scared.

By Madam Madhatter. 18/09/09, 10:39 am

@Sakura
I have not forgotten... yet... I will try not to forget!

@Rocky
Really?
That IS freaky!
Not the red Ood eyes I hope

Aaah, about the end of last year i became drawn into Doctor Who. I had breifly seen an ep with 9 but only really got into them at the second ep of series 4. I missed so much *sob*

But, once hooked, it became an obsession. I rented them all from VideoEzy. ALL. I spent so much money ;_; But it was SO worth it. Am planning on buying season 1 - 4 at Arm this year. Maybe. Theyre slowly dropping in price *stabs the price tickets with a sonic screwdriver* Chaaaaannngeeeeee.

Have Torchwood series 1 and 2 but i lost interest halfway through season 1. I dunno why...just, didn't cut it. Do still watch them when i can, still making my way through, and it's slowly getting better again. I dunno. Guess they just don't appeal like i thought they would. Heart Jack though <3

Fav Doctor would have to be 10. Though 4 is a close second. I haven't seen many of the classics, but i'm working on it. Slowly.

So far am caught up totally on the eps. My brother is also addicted and so he stalks the website for the release date of the specials then downloads them asap. Ahh~ So lovely. *warm fuzzy feelings*

Fav ep would probably have to be Blink. I get freaked out and giggle at the same time. Love the last eps of season 4 though. Love Donna. She's amazing.

Haven't seen the Sarah Jane spinoffs but i enjoy her as a character. And K-9 too! Teehee.

This post jumps a bit. Eh. You get the jist >.>

*goes TARDIS hunting*

@MM; Not usually red, but the other day it was dark, and I had a red top on, and there was reflection and yea. Creepy, squished kitty is creepy. He looks like a gremlin, has ood eyes, and acts like a gremlin that's been fed after midnight.

Also, my sister is awesome and I got her addicted to Doctor Who, and now her new boyfriend, who she actually started talking to because they both play Kingdon Hearts (and she says shes not a geek Very Happy

), turns out to also be addicted to Doctor Who, and he keeps bringing his external harddrive around and giving me Torchwood and old episodes of Doctor Who and such.

And, I rewatched the first episode of Torchwood last night, just because I had it, and golly, there's this one major bit of foreshadowing, if thats the right word to use in this case.

So I've finished S3 of Torchwood and am now re-working my way back through my Dr Who and Torchwood - I really want to watch S2 Dr Who but Olli took it with her after the party!! Grrr!!! I have also discovered that I don't esp. like S3 Dr Who - not quite the same and Martha just keeps getting on my nerves!! But having lots of fun giggling at Dr quotes!! So I'll be quite mad/insane/on a huge Dr Who/Torchwood high for work tomorrow... Which should get me through the day... hopefully.

By Olli. 21/09/09, 03:42 pm

I WANNA BE A WEEPING ANGEL!!!
And have my own K-9 XD

I'm sorry!! I'm already up to disc three of S2!

By SerenitySaiyan. 23/09/09, 03:18 am

I've currently got my brother trying to get Torchwood S3. Wishing him much luck. I think he found it last night >w<

My Doctor Who obsession is well known with my friends (and i've gotten others addicted >D). I used iron-on transfers to put a TARDIS on a tanktop plus my cell phone...well...it's ring is the theme song and it's text sound is the TARDIS landing >.>;;

By Madam Madhatter. 23/09/09, 03:26 am

One of the guys in my class has been supplying me with eps.
So happy!
Only fair though, I was the one that got him into it.

Don't know what I am going to do when I am not in his class next year.

Its fun getting other people addicted!

By HomicidalHeroine. 23/09/09, 05:38 am

Thanks to Adrasteia and HelloFred, I believe, our group of friends have been assigned Torchwood characters based on personality xD
A group of us are cosplaying them at ChChGeddon next year, except Ianto's cosplaying Owen, Owen's cosplaying Jack and Jack's cosplaying Ianto.
I think John, Gwen and I are the only ones cosplaying the characters we were likened to... xD
...
... oh, and our Doctor.

By Madam Madhatter. 23/09/09, 07:12 am

Ha ha!
I asume there is a reason for the switch.
Lol Jack cosplaying Ianto >.<
