1) You've seen the entire new series (maybe even the old series) of the show and you want to rewatch it. Remember what the show was like before Moffat took over.
2) You've never seen the series. Your American, you have no idea what it's all about. You think you might want to know.
Here's some background. Doctor Who was a low-budget Sci-Fi British television show in the 60's, 70's and 80's until it was cancelled. The Doctor is a time traveler who gets a new body every time he dies and therefore an new actor plays him every few years.
The series came back on in 2005 and has a nice budget now. It's also freaking-awesome!
Now here are the ground-rules. We will not watch every episode. This is going to be "Doctor Who Abridged" meaning we will leave out some of the lamer episodes or some that don't fit in with the overall story arc. We will watch two episodes a night every Sunday night. Here is the schedule for the next few weeks
The Ninth Doctor
Week One – October 16th 2011
1. Rose
2. The End of the World
Week Two – October 23rd 2011
3. Dalek
4. Father’s Day
Week Three – October 30th 2011
5. The Empty Child (1)
6. The Doctor Dances (2)
Week Four – November 6th 2011
7. Bad Wolf (1)
8. The Parting of Ways (2)
As you can see we are only watching about half of the first season. I left some of the cornball episodes out (Yes, the Siltheens) to spare new viewers. We will be getting back to these episodes at a later time, but for now let's have fun with the better of the season's episodes.
So that's it. Everyone who wants to can follow the basic schedule and we watch Doctor Who. Some of us are in China, some of us are in the U.S. and some are somewhere else, but what better way to enjoy a Time Travel show than across Space and Time
See you in October!
