  1. One thing about the Classic Who is that most of them are dragging like one story spanning for eight episodes which sometimes is not needed. So like it's hard to watch one story in one single day coz like you'll definitely end up bored.. But anyways, Eccleston is like forgotten right now which is sad coz his Doctor is really great. He's more like the anger/hatred suppressed kind of Doctor which like shows from time to time but I mean if he hadn't left after a year we wouldn't have Tennant. I haven't saw Pertwee's yet so I'll reserve my judgement for now but me being the person who watched/listened to every single episode of the First Doctor's era, I really see similarities between Capaldi and Hartnell. Yeah, that's the thing, she's hot (I admit) but her character is a stereotypical teenage/young girl in modern shows, ya know. Stupid, over the top and rebellious which some people suggest as just her being independent, I beg to differ coz she disobeys the Doctor most of the time just to prove that she is independent. It just ends up getting her into trouble. She's really flirty at least for her first few episodes which pissed me off coz like she's like that girl who like tries to seduce every guy in the room including the Doctor. They even made a joke minisode about Amy's flirtiness. She mellowed and matured out tho eventually after like Rory also became the Doctor's companion that's when I started liking her actually. She actually started seeing the Doctor as her friend, not a love interest. As for Clara, she's the opposite of her. (Hats off to Moffat for creating contrasting companions.) She's like the cool smart mature girl who isn't trying to be over the top or something or doesn't treat the Doctor as some God who came down on earth or her saviour (as opposed to his previous companions esp. Amy who is obsessed with the Doctor). Actually, alot of people disliked Clara for that because well to them they kinda find her boring and well some are just IMO, sexist, they didn't want a girl companion who was almost equal to the doctor and who treated the Doctor as her co-equal. (As I said, the joke "Clara Who?" came to life.) The Doctor thinks otherwise tho, I mean he kept calling her the impossible girl even after the thingy and like went the "long way" to like *spoiler* save her from her eventual death. *spoiler* Btw, it's Sarah Jane not Mary Jane. I haven't watched Sarah Jane's ran as a companion yet but she's a personal favorite to many from what I know. As for Rose, she's my second favorite. As much as anyone puts hate on her for being romantically involved with the Doctor, it wasn't some sort of like visible and lustful Romance as compared to other shows out there. The Romance thingy was merely subtle, purely Romantic and like developed over time as opposed to being forced down our throats. Other than that, Rose didn't play the Damsel in Distress character and actually is pretty independent and strong. She's like a subpar version of Clara. Donna, on the otherhand, I like her as opposed to you. Third Fave. She brought humor to Doctor Who. I mean the Tenth Doctor was already kinda funny but like Donna tripled it when she became his companion. Martha (forgotten Companion) is the one that I dislike just because of her expectations with the Doctor. It's like the reason why she walked out of the TARDIS. It kinda dragged the whole show down. The new companion, her name is Bill. she's actually getting a lot of hate already after just a trailer. I dunno why but alot of people says it's because she seems like another boring companion. I, again, will reserve my judgement first. River Song was just fine to me. I liked her final episode alot. Personally, it's because it showed how she gained the sonic screwdriver and how it loops back, all around, and like I mean there was like this elephant in the room between them being taken out. I mean, what the Doctor really felt for her eventho they were married (albeit forced one) which is actually really sad set off for River altho it was still a happy ending. And as for your theory, I think I know where you are going with that. That River is the original wife of the Doctor or Mrs. Doctor number 1. It's a pretty cool theory but I really dun think so. There's alot of opposing reasons why. A spin off would be nice tho. I also wanted a spin off of Clara's (with Ashildr possibly) Adventures coz I mean Clara's final scene created that possibility. I'll name it "Clara Who" There's actually animated episodes of Doctor Who besides the reconstructed version of the Classics. All of them were Tenth's adventure. It's just a rumour from the Mirror (unreliable source). I really don't want to see Capaldi out. I actually want him to stay for atleast 3 more seasons coz I wanna see how Chibnall (the incoming new Headwriter replacing Moffat) handles Capaldi, if he can actually make him shine and if the problem was really writing. But who I want for the 13th Doctor? I want David Morrisey to play the Doctor. He originally played the pseudo Doctor in the Christmas Special, the Next Doctor, and he plays the Governor in Walking Dead. He actually portrayed the pseudo Doctor nicely that's why I thought he would fit in the role. (As he can also be Dark like Tennant) And also, there's an ongoing theory that when the Doctor regenerates, he copies someone whom he had seen in the past. (e.g. Capaldi; Capaldi originally played one of the Romans in the Pompeii episode) As for Jim Sturgess, I don't know him, personally. I don't watch that much shows so I haven't seen him yet. As for the Doctor regenerating as a woman? Personally, I don't want to but if it happens, then it's fine as long as the Doctor is like a Mary Poppins kind of Heroine. Any lesser than that will be awful coz I mean, let's be honest, most female protagonists are heavily sexualized and that's what I fear and it's gonna piss me off if the Doctor becomes one. The Doctor, first of all is some sort of an asexual character and he is really somewhat gender neutral. Another reason is that, the Doctor is a unique Male superhero-esque. He isn't your everyday hero. Compared to other heroes out there, he promotes non-violence resolution, pacifism and intellect. And IMO, we really need more fictional male role models like him for younger boys out there coz let's be honest, we men, when we are young, are taught by society to act physically tough and to reduce physicality to settle stuffs anything lesser than that is "gay". Just look at how Batman makes his enemies talk. Brutality just breeds brutality as they say, no matter what your purpose is. I'll quote Doctor who is "The Triumph Of Intellect And Romance Over Brute Force And Cynicism".
  2. === Been watching the First Doctor Era for ages now (I'm just in the beginning of season 3). As much as I wanna like his era, the show on the era is pretty dragging and poor writing kinda bores me. Don't get me wrong, I like the first Doctor but poor writing kills it and the fact that the show tends to focus so much more on his companions and the enemies and the repetitive plot adds more to my boredom. But, his companions (Ian and Barbara) were pretty awesome other than Susan (his actual granddaughter. Yes the Doctor was a father and a grandfather but they died) who just shouts on most part of the show. I was glad after she left.
  3. They've been rather happy that Trump won which I hope would calm the relationship between US and Russia. Hopefully preventing any world war 3 in the future. As for the war with ISIS and the extremists, Trump seems to be the kind of person who would want to clear them out. It's part of his platform to use ground troops to battle them as opposed to bombing Syria using Jets which might kill alot of innocent people in the way. I think Americans should give him first a chance before continually attacking him and saying that it's gonna be the end of the world coz after reading his platforms awhile awhile ago, his platforms are way much better, way more logical and thought out and more concise than Hillary's. Liberal die hard fans just really hates him and they've seemed to put so much effort to defame him by putting out his personal craps which again turned him into a butt of a joke. Even after he won, they won't concede and they still push their agenda. On My Mind: I hate the freaking ISP that we are currently in. They're bunch of freaking greedy aholes. They just suddenly changed the speed after you reach data cap without any notice and they won't freaking tell why. It's like using Dial-Up again. I really hope we can switch to a better one soon.
  4. Oxytocin
  5. On My Mind: I should not care about American Elections but as much as Trump is getting as much flame now for his controversies, I think he's a way better option just because of his stance on the ISIS problem (ground troops as opposed to aerial bombing) and abortion (anti-abortion as opposed to pro). We're talking about innocent lives here. Clinton vs Trump stand on key issues
  6. If you believe that Mainstream western news outlets are biased, I rather refer you to BBC which I mostly trust with international news, they tend to be more neutral in their stance (since firstly they aren't American and they are publicly funded as opposed to most media corp out there) albeit they lean abit more towards to liberal views but still they don't tend to go in your face and extreme with modern agendas.
  7. On My Mind: How I wish I have a TARDIS right now. Life can get really tiring sometimes....
  8. Enroll? What is this a school? haha Anyways, Welcome to DCW!
  9. Hi there! Welcome to DCW!
  10. Hi there! Welcome to DCW!
  11. Hi there! Welcome to DCW. Sorry for the late greetings.
  12. I just watched the whole Harry Potter Franchise but I already watched the first seven when I was really young but since I never understood it way back then, I rewatched but anyways, It's really good. The twists and the plot and the movie singularly themselves were really well done. It really stands as a classic to me, my favorite one was the first two since it was just more way focused on a mystery and then solving it than compared to the other consecutive movies, not that they were bad, coz they were really good too as compared to some movies out there. But anyways, I really loved the character development of the trio plus the twins (older brothers of Ron) and like Snape, Dumbledore, Neville, Ginny and Luna and all those guys. They weren't one flat plane of good/evil. === Also, just watched Shutter Island. How come I never heard of it before? It was really awesome.
  13. Warning: Double Post Sorry, btw, but something I just wanna say probably no one cares here (the fact that the forum is inactive now haha) coz like I repeated this a 100 times already but I think I'll be leaving for good this time. I won't add some BS sugarcoated text anymore. I just wanna really announce my leave but before I leave, I'll most likely host Secret Santa for this year so if anyone is interested might as well PM me so I could see if there's enough interest for the event to go on. I'll stay atleast until December and then I will permanently go coz there's just way too many things that happened that I wouldn't be divulging and just the fact that I'm starting to get busy. But anyways, that's all. Sorry for the Double Post again. Thanks for anyone who read my post. Just honoring my word.
  14. But you are God === Dear Self, Late Hungover. Crap. I thought I'm already fine. Signed Me === Dear Sat-anon, Looks like I kinda lost, I had no choice but to atleast get some degree of help which I hope would work this time. The fight still on tho. I don't give up even after like years of crappiness. Signed Me === Dear anon, It's Filipino not Tagalog, thank you very much Signed Me
  15. dear anon, You know, I could have been angry at you but I never did. Instead, I feel pity for you coz I dunno how a normal being could do any of that and could take any of that. With the way that you go, you'll never get anywhere in life. You just can't seem to see anything beyond yourself. signed Me P.S. I'll never get down to your level nor will I hold a grudge against you. === dear anon, *sigh* Is it really...? signed Me
  16. I never found anything boring with the Show so IMO, it was a good use. Plus, they never abused the concept of it. Sherlock just uses it to like remember stuffs and also, the last episode in season 3 was an awesome use of the concept. I haven't watched it yet but from what I know, it's about Moriarty. === On My Mind: Broadchurch season 2 done. Gahd, I never expected it to be really good. I really thought it will be bad since the season 1's ending like finishes the story off but like it was really cool to like create the drama around the court trial and the sandbrook case. The ending is really depressing tho. Geez.
  17. On My Mind: Mind Palace works a treat.
  18. On My Mind: Finished Sherlock awhile ago and was really good and like I'm waiting for season 4 as everyone else but from what I know, since the head writer of Sherlock and DW is the same, Sherlock would be put off for awhile since DW will need to be out next year. Plus, Benedict is like so immensely popular and on demand now. As for Broadchurch, I just finished season 1, the start was so good but it like went downhill abit and the ending was a bit rushed and I dunno about the Second Season if I wanna watch since like the story is already pretty closed off but I'll give it a try.
  19. Yeah, I'm still here :3 But, I ain't really that active anymore.
  20. On My Mind: Geez. Online Gaming Communities are so toxic. Lots of Keyboard Warriors and trolls, out there, but then again, you realize they probably don't have social life irl and you feel bad for them.
  21. Dear anon, Looks like my subconscious plan worked. I'm really sorry that I had to do the thing ...Safety first Yours truly, Me === Dear anon, It's a scientific impossibility, at least for the next centuries. It really is. Signed Me
  22. Not an American but I expect Halloween costume parties with people cosplaying as Harley Quinn and/or the Joker :V === On My Mind: Just finished Mr. Robot. It was freaking awfully average. And like, I thought it would really be good but it was bad. I mean it was marketed as a show about hacking and taking down Evil Corp but like what you would get is more the drama and the culture around it and the trying too hard inception-style thema which is awfully scripted and executed and doesn't cut right through and it's all over the place and like 5% of the show is only about the planning and hacking the Corporation. Midway around the first season, it was a drag watching it and I just finished 2 seasons for the reason that I already downloaded and I had no choice but to finish it. It's overhyped and overrated for me after watching it, probably rated high, coz it's a Freedom-oriented American show, no offense. On the otherhand, I started watching Sherlock and the first episode was a huge relief from Mr. Robot. It was really good. *fingers crossed* I hope the show won't let me down.
