Happy Birthday RTD

[puppetmaker]

You brought back Doctor Who when I thought I would never see a new episode again.

You gave us John Barrowman in very tight pants and a lot of other folks who look good in tight pants on Torchwood.

You brought back Sarah Jane and created a show I can show to my 5 year old without worry.

You brought my favorite fandom to a whole new generation and created a bunch of new fans.

You so rock.

I am grateful that Russell T Davies was born so I can have more Doctor Who to watch.

:dances with agitation: I'm so far behind on Dr. Who and everytime you post I want to get caught up so bad!!!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

well this was spoiler free.

How far behind are you?

[tru2myart.livejournal.com]

Oh I actually relish spoilers! :laughs: It's the only way I get caught up. I'm just agitated because I haven't had the time to sit down and watch.

:thinks: I believe the last episode I saw was The Girl In The Fireplace. :sighs: I had a bunch of friends I used to watch with every week and we drifted apart. I quit watching altogether for awhile and now I can't catch the reruns in the appropriate place. I'm going to have to buy the series and have a big Who party.

Now that I've Wikipedia'd how far behind I am I have to ask. Have you watched the special episodes/movies at all? I don't know if they add them to the series DVD's and if they're a part of the story line I want to make sure to check them out.

I just watched Doctor Who for the first time today!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Which episode? I am alway interested in what everyone's first episode was.

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

"Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Daleks"...

Believe me that they get better.

Not a bad one to start with but the accents had me rolling on the floor.

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

When do the new episodes air?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Friday on the SciFi channel at 9pm

It's been nice having Dr. Who back and I am really starting to like the Sarah Jane Adventures as well.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

It gets better as the season progresses. I like that the USA is getting it pretty much a month after the UK.

What I like most is seeing the youngest fans back in the mix: kids getting excited and drawing pictures to send to the BBC, kids asking their parents to let them get on the phone to me and Michael to thank us for their DW toys, kids being bowled over at Halloween becuase we gave out Daleks as well as candy.

Thank you, Russell T. Davies, and happy birthday.

It is nice to see the kids as excited as the adults.

You gave out Daleks? I'm coming to your house next year.

[norda.livejournal.com]

Heh.

I don't know that we can afford to do it every year. It was a combination of having being massively overshipped when we hadn't ordered this particular set of toys [we were also overstocked on the Moxx and the Werewolf], and not having enough time to pull our usual assortment of comics, that led to the Great Dalek/Moxx/Werewolf Giveaway.

It was certainly fun, though, and kept our reputation of being the coolest folks in the neighborhood intact.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

We have that with our comic book give away. *grin*

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Unrelated to the post. What is that icon?

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Someone hasn't been watching this season of Doctor Who have they?

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Still finishing Season 3.

I think I'm being dragged to the Ianto side. SEND HALP.
