    @the-names-jack-jack-harkness – Well…. it depends on personal taste, I think. The older episodes are a lot more slow paced and shorter (I think it’s 30 minutes per episode, unlike the hour long ones with the new Who series), so a lot of times the conclusion to any one story will span four or more episodes. This annoys some of the fans of the r…[Read more]

    @MonochromeDimension –Β Yes, I did get the feeling that we were going a bit off topic there. I often go off in a tangent, especially about subjects I love so much. Aw, that’s so sad… I know the same thing happened to one of my favorite comedy shows, “Monty Python Flying Circus”… I have to wonder what the BBC was thinking in junking such great…[Read more]

    @MonochromeDimension – Yes! I suspect that I’ll have a handful of favorites, by the time I get done watching all of the Doctor Who episodes. Although, I hear that the BBC lost many of the episodes and they’re lost? I’m sorry for that, but I retain my goal to watch every episode that I can find. πŸ™‚

    Ha! Yes, maybe a cravat would do! I’m looking…[Read more]

    @Arbutus – Wow, that’s sounds awful. Before I moved to Minnesota, I lived in Philadelphia (was born there) and they often had “Nor’easter”s, high winds and tons of rain. However, games would be canceled during those times, due to flooding and falling trees. It’s the Nor’easter season right now on the east coast of the US, I’m in the colder part o…[Read more]

    @MonochromeDimension – This is why I love Doctor Who so much, because it has so many serials, Doctors, and companions to get to know and love… or not love so much. I have plenty to learn and experience within the long history of Who and I can’t help but to feel excited like a little girl over that fact! It feels like Christmas!

    Don’t worry, I’m…[Read more]

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    @Arbutus Β – I completely agree! I think the Fourth Doctor had the best balance of menacing and whimsy. I’m not sure, but I think the first episode that Tom Baker appeared in, he punched out a human in order to escape containment and wonder around a military base to find its secret project? It was a long time since I saw that episode, so I…[Read more]

    @ConfusedPolarity – Thank you for the compliment of being “brave”, I love that! Although, I figured it to be “stubbornness” and possibly “social suicide” to admit right out that I never got attached to Eleventh. And yes, it’s the quiet anger that caused me to adore both Ninth and Tenth Doctors. They were a lot silly and goofy like the Eleventh,…[Read more]

    First of all, I shall say “rest in peace” and I hope the after-life, heaven, or wherever souls go to after death is treating you well, sir. I enjoyed reading this article, so very much, and you were a true writer […]

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    @ScoutTheAiredale – Thanks for the tip! I shall read every article there, for sure. And I’m so sorry about HTPBDET’s passing. Many hugs to that. πŸ™
    But yes, I shall enjoy his work here on the forum! Thanks for sharing it with me! πŸ˜€

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    @MonochromeDimension – Yes, I so do need to watch them! And I don’t mind black and white serials at all. I do have some time to spend this weekend (aka: I have no real social life! lol), so I may just plant myself in front of the laptop screen and spend some hours with Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee. That is if I don’t get distracted and lured…[Read more]

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic The Next Doctor (2)

    Yes, @wolfweed , I totally agree! LOL! When I first saw the next Doctor, I felt like a Deja Vu kind of feeling. Then I realized that his style is so similar to the Third Doctor! Unfortunately I haven’t gotten to know the Doctors before the Fourth. I keep meaning to, but every time I watch the retro episodes I start with the Fourth and then move…[Read more]

    @WhishtΒ – Thanks! I’m always worried about butting in to other’s conversations, in general, although I’m relieved that it doesn’t apply here. That’s good, because I’m a “big mouth” overall. πŸ˜‰
    And yes, I think I love this music thread most of all, because I love so many different types of music (my bookmarks and iTunes are brimming with…[Read more]

    @FatManInABox – ROTFL! The Weather Girls one is a lie… I love that song, but so far no men are raining from the sky here. Sigh. πŸ™
    However, to be fair, it is winter and snowing season in Minnesota right now.

    I hope I’m not barging in on your conversation, but I wanted to point out this song about rain, one of my…[Read more]

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic General Music thread

    Oh, here’s one more Tennant one, that’s a lot silly… but I love the song “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”. This video always makes me giggle and sing along. πŸ™‚

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic General Films thread

    @FatManInABox – Ah, I see that as extremely lucky that you had an American English teacher who is that passionate about British literature. I am American and didn’t have much luck with that! My entire English education was rubbish and I had to learn about all of the great stuff on my own, via internet or relatives, as my school stayed focused on…[Read more]

    @Abutus – Nah! I am not that talented to create such a video. LOL! But I’m flattered that you thought so. No another talented Whovian on Youtube created this masterpiece. I also appreciate videos that match scenes with music lyrics. I tried to do one once… it was lame and of the cartoon “Invader Zim” to a repetitive trance song. It was not…[Read more]

  • FaeGrl replied to the topic General Music thread

    @Whisht – Yes! I agree, the song is SO Ten. I believe the Whovian who created the video is very spot on and that’s why I love it so much. And Ten had that “me, me, me” ego to him, very much. I loved him for it, anyway. πŸ™‚

    @janetteB – Yep, my Studio Ghibli favorites are a huge list to itself, as I’ve seen almost every one of their films and loved all of them save for two. My list would be: My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Castle In The Sky, The Cat Returns, Howl’s Moving Castle, My Neighbor’s The Yamadas, Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, Princess…[Read more]
