I actually happen to be one of those who likes Moff's Who, sorry Limey . HOPEFULLY he can convince the Beeb to stop this AMerica HAS to wait one week thing...because I honestly will have to warez it if they do make us wait...sorry for mentioning it but GAWD that pissed me off royally that I had to wait for the last two episodes.

I'm pretty sure you Americans went a week behind because of a Holiday? Wasn't it memorial day weekend or something? So they didn't air new episodes of anything.
Canada has a contract with the US so that they get first showing of Doctor Who and other shows in North America, so if you guys get delayed, so does Canada.

Also, trying to find the source, but the Moff has said Doctor Who will have the same amount of episodes next year as it did this year.

Awesome! I loved Season 5-6.5

It has been recommisioned for 14 new episodes (including this Christmas.) but the full series won't air next year, they'll split it up again and air the second part in 2013.

I thought Doctor Who was the BBC's flagship show, not a pizza being half-eaten and then the rest being put in the fridge and eaten the next day.

Doctor who is the BBC's flagship show, its supposedly so they can produce higher quality episodes as well as freeing up there time for other programs such as there other flagship show Top Gear.

As far as the warez issue goes, as a resident of Ireland, I don't pay a licence fee to the BBC, nor am I required to. I can still recieve BBC, both terrestrially, and on free-to-air satellite. They get no profit from my viewership, I'm not even sure they include me in their ratings figures (they couldn't on analogue terrestrial anyway).

So if I miss the timeslot for Doctor Who (as I always do) I don't feel the slightest slip of guilt about downloading it from disreputable internet dealers. It's no different from viewing it the "correct" way in Ireland, except that it's more convenient.

Technically, there no legal issue at all with download BBC programs. A TV Licence is required watch live broadcasts (that is, as they're being transmitted, not as they're being recorded), which downloads aren't., as evidenced by the fact that you don't need one to view the repeats on BBC iPlayer.

Wait Wait wait...August 27th? I thought it was September???? Are us Americans getting it first??? That's effed up they should be aired at the same time!!!

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #768 on:** July 25, 2011, 10:34:20 PM »

The UK BBC (that sounds funny) doesn't usually release the scheduled until a few weeks before it airs, but I'm pretty sure it will air at the same time. I can't see it not.

eclipse74569 · « **Reply #769 on:** July 25, 2011, 11:34:13 PM »

Well if it airs later everone in UK's gonna storm to BBC...Protests will ensue...then World War III breaks loose.....Then the Doctor will have to fix that little error

Mid season breaks are killers. Why do the British Broadcasting Corporation have to start this gods awful trend to suit (apologies) foreign fans?

I don't recall anyone at SyFy wondering if there were fans of Caprica or SGU when they pulled the plug!

Because of one thing $$$

Anyone been watching Torchwood so far this season? I love it.

mckinneyc · « **Reply #773 on:** July 30, 2011, 07:10:20 AM »

I've been enjoying Torchwood however it just reminds me so much of Flashforward

So there we have our beloved Doctor back.

Just a question did or does anyone else spot how to get around the 13 regenerations?

I did, but it's probably best to come to that bridge when the Doctor is actually soon to die properly.

lessie, that may have allready been done. one of the OS episodes had the doctor facing an "evil twin" regeneration. they could also take a page from the Master's book. however,I'm going to bet that they are going to throw out D6, Colin Baker. plus, technically, he's OWED a freebie. the transition between D2, and D3 (pertwee) was FORCED, and D7 (McCoy) 's was delayed to D8 (mcGann), so there might be a loophole, there.

i think I just earned my who-nerd stripes.

Being a parasite? Or resurrection by others? Both are hardly morally sound.

Why?

Yes. But there isn't much that's apparent that'll give one to him.

Interesting, but I doubt it. Like you said, it was just delayed but there wasn't exactly an angel popping down to grant him a whole new lease of regenerations. Whenever a Time Lord is regenerating, they're dead anyway, it was shown at Lake Silencio and pretty much proved by 'Mels' after being shot, then walking around like she hadn't just died but was changing form anyway.

Vortex · « **Reply #778 on:** August 28, 2011, 08:41:49 AM »

7 to 8 was only delayed due to the Doctor being given anaesthetic.

He might have appeared dead to humans, but it's probable that his biology allows him to still be alive under the human 'flat line', which is why he regenerated. Otherwise he'd have just been dead, movie over. :p

'Let's Kill Hitler' was an excellent episode.
