Doctor Who

[Vamp]

Well I suppose technically he is a former Doctor.

[Your Mom]

So I watched the first disc of Season 6. I liked it. Interesting characters and interesting ideas. It's pretty confusing though. I dont understand the stuff with Dr. Song at all. Or

How he could know he was going to die and recruit his younger self to come by after his older self was dead or whatever.

[apsham]

That's the overall arc of Season 6 - just try to keep with it.

And also I'm so sad that you didn't start from Season 1 or at least Tennant at Season 2, because you would've already met River and would have a good frame of reference later.

Oh well.

[Your Mom]

Way too much to try and catch up on. I wanted to be ready when it comes back on TV again

[apsham]

I suppose you could always go back and watch, so there's always that. Season 6 can probably stand by itself - the characters are strong enough. You'll probably just hit blanks at some references.

If someone wished to start at Season 5, I would advise them to also look at "Blink" from S3 and "Silence in the Library" from S4. "Blink" will give you a good reference point for an enemy that is used a few times in S5 and S6 and "Silence in the Library" is where River Song is first met and is quite crucial if you want to know what the hell is going on with her storyline.

That's the overall arc of Season 6 - just try to keep with it.

To be fair, the arcs mostly consist of the Doctor looking at a television screen every now and then.

[Katsuya]

So, I'm trying to get my head around something in terms of River. At this point, does she know his name yet?

[Dingle]

When's it back on? I need to timetable in a chance to re-watch the past couple of seasons.

[stokeriño]

Can't find anything more precise than 'autumn'. That should probably be any time from next week until the end of September.

[Vamp]

I think a lot of people expected it to be either this week or next, what with the premier being this week. I'm pretty sure they would have announced it by now if that was the case. It seems a bit mental to leave it much longer though.

[Dingle]

Looks like I better get cracking with a rewatch then! Didn't realise it was so close, was thinking a few months away. Glad it's not.

Question about regeneration

So the Doctor only has 12 or 13 regenerations, right? I can't remember. Here's my question. when the Astronaut killed him twice, did that take up a regeneration? Furthermore, didn't the time war give him more regenerations? Or is that not official canon since it wasn't on TV? Lastly, did I hear River gave him more regenerations? Or again, would that not be canon? How many regenerations does the Doctor get?

I don't think it will be that soon now. I'm not entirely sure the Beeb know either.

[Lineker]

Yeah we do.

BBC episode previews

[Your Mom]

I just watched "A Good Man goes to War". Amazing! My mind is blown people. Blown!

[Your Mom]

Ok I am on the next episode and it's confusing. They are showing Amy and Rory together as kids but I thought he was from Roman times.

[Olive the other Jiberdeer]

That's an alternate timeline that sorta ceased to exist when time unwinded and t' whole crack in t' wall thing happened.
