Welcome to Crystal Inc!
ACF is pretty much dead. Methinks Yoona eated it out of boredom. Or Sinfinity or whatever the fuck his name was put a nuke in it
Anyways, you have 3 choices of forum to go to chat with old ACF people - FFOF, FCF or here.
FCF is the best of the 3 but since a lot of you don't really get on with the members there, you can have this place to terrorise.
So do whatever you want and i'll mebbes chat to everyone again if ACF ever goes back online - depends how im feeling since im tired of the whole interweb thing atm

Doctor Who/Torchwood « Thread Started on Jun 3, 2008, 4:21am »
Rather than make two separate threads I decided on an uber-thread for the two. Must say though my favorite Doctor is Tennant but Tom Baker is in a close second. At the moment I love the Children in Need special Time Crash, honestly Peter Davidson + David Tennant was sheer brilliance!

I am loving this series Can't stand Catherine Tate as an assisstant (was never a fan of her 'comedy' either) but the episode on Saturday there was amazing. Shadows as monsters has to be one of the most genius ideas yet - everyone's afraid of the dark at some point so to make it eat you alive is gotta be hell for anyone who's still scared!

Cybermen ftw! I never got the scary-appeal of a pepper pot with a plunger on it But the cybermen really freaked me out; i think it's the fact they used to be human that did it

I want a K9 too, so have you seen any of the Sarah Jane Adventures? I would have put it in the title of the thread but my character limit was breached.

Steven Moffat (Blink, Empty Child/Doctor Dances, Girl in the Fireplace, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) takes over as script editor next series, you know.
This worried me at first, as it might affect how much he can actually write, but it occured to me earlier - based on earlier series of nu Who (some sort of glue, according to Colin Baker) and with Torchwood, the script editor writes the first episode of the season and the two- (or three-)part finale.
My favourite Doctors have to be...umm...all of them? Tennant, McGann, Pertwee, McCoy, and Davidson would have to be the top five, though.
Tate...well. She's not as bad as I feared, but then, she's not exactly brilliant either (sadly, same could be said of Martha (but the writing was at its worst in her season, to be fair) and at times, of Rose).
Professor River Song has to be the best character this season, though, IMHO.
"When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever for one moment, accepts it.
Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. ... Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Somedays nobody dies at all. Now and then, and once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives."

Damn my lack of BBC America *shakes fist*
I watched up until the last season while I was in the UK, but now I'm n the US and I have no TV access so I can't get onto BBC America, so I missed Tate as an assistant, though I did watch the second season of Torchwood on youtube.

Vi, if you've seen Catherine Tate's, ahem, "comedy" series, then really you haven't missed much with Donna. (I'm mean.)
Still, there have been some good stories this season, and last week's (UK standards, anyway) was very interesting...TURN LEFT. No, the other left... An AU story, where Donna never met the Doctor. All I'll say.

*sounding like Terry Molloy as Davros* Bah! Now you've spoiled it for our American friends... *coughs, sounds normal* Sorry about that.
Speaking of Terry Molloy, who played Davros from "Resurrection of the Daleks" til "Remembrance" of same, he had an uncredited cameo as the voice of Dalek Caan.
Very good episode, I won't discuss it thoroughly to avoid spoilers. However, Ianto and Gwen appear with Jack at Torchwood, and "yes-we-know-who-you-are" is a great laugh.
Of course, the episodes belong to the bloke in my avatar...
(There are theories that the Doctor will DEgenerate into one of his previous incarnations due to the circumstances - however, he may become *SEE: TRIAL OF A TIME LORD* instead... There's also a possibility that he may regenerate, but keep the same face (just as he regrew his hand in the "Christmas Invasion", "Destiny of the Daleks" shows female Time Lord Romana go through several physical variations during the first few hours of regenerating to find one that the Doctor would approve of, after she'd copied the appearence of someone they'd met).)
