Doctor Who

[Magrat]

So I've been a huge Doctor Who fan since I was little and watching the re-runs of Baker. Anyone else (especially with Season 5&6 getting big in the US) really into Doctor Who and Matt Smith?

To tie it in to We're Alive a little bit, was talking with some people about Doctor Who and Zombies. Just within the 'new' series we've been seeing some places where 'zombified' sorts appear:

Season 01, Episode 03 "The Unquiet Dead": Gas Ghosts are infecting corpses and are very 'old school' zombie.

Season 01, Episode 10 "The Doctor Dances": This episode ha the Gas Mask creatures which are very zombie like, and it spreads through touch witch is kinda zombie-esque.

Season 04.5, Episode 16 "The Waters of Mars": We get corpses reanimated by aliens, which isn't really a virus or anything, but hey they act like zombies and are creepy as hell!

Season 06, Episode 5&6 "The Rebel Flesh/Almost People": Not quite zombies, but reanimated flesh all the same.

Anywho, any other fans of the show out there? Thanks to mascaria for putting 99% of the zombie-who stuff together!


Also, am looking for an episode/fan-fic or what-have-you where The Doctor is himself a zombie. A regeneration-gone-wrong so he's only half alive sort of thing.
The latest series gave me the idea, with doctors dropping like flies. (flesh doctor in Season 6 episode 5 & 6) or the half-regenerated-dead doctor (episodes 1&2).

Cheers,
Magrat.

Just watched the mid-season finale. It was awesome. As usual.

Really enjoyed the revelations of the season 6 cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what we get later in the year. Thank god I've got We're not Dead to tide me over the break!

Oh, and I've found more zombie doctor images. I won't fill up the thread with them, so check out the original place here.

My favorite of the lot is this one of all the doctors zombified:

This show is by far my favorite TV show of all time, next to LOST. Happy that more people in the states are watching it.

I really like the new Dr Who. Matt Smith brings some freshness to the character that I haven't seen since Baker. I wasn't a huge fan of Tennant

[abayarts]

Wow. wasn't a huge fan of tennant?!!?!?! Matt Smith is like the extreme version of tennant. haha.

Nope I wasn't a huge fan of him. I actually I preferred Tom Baker. Matt Smith is much closer to Tom Baker's Dr then Tennant.

One thing a lot of people have mentioned is that Eccleston was the 'young' angry doctor fresh out of the time war, tennant was more playful but with a very sorrowful side to him. Smith, although a younger actor, has this uncanny knack to play both a young man and the doctors full 900+ years at the same time. He has this brilliant way to seem SO old, to have all that time inside him, and yet keeps coming out with this youthful exuberance. I do enjoy smith more and more.
