STEPPING OUT WITH MY BABY…

We still have to see her at least once more though—we still don't know when and why she finds out his real name.

I can't remember where I read it but I did see an article in the last few weeks comparing the 3 modern Doctors and apparently more kids watch it now than did in the RTD era. Also, apparently The Moffat/Smith era appeals to more middle and upper class people than the RTD era did.

I don't know about Arthur Darvill but Karen Gillan says she's signed on for another season.

here's one from Saturday night that shows River's timeline from her POV with narration by Alex Kingston: http://blogtorwho.blogspot….

Ah so maybe I need to investigate the earlier series and/or the British original so I can see the changes for myself.  Thanks for the tip!

Well thanks for the reply.  I'll give it another try next week and maybe I'll like it better and/or be more used to it.  I realize it's difficult to see things through fresh eyes.  I suppose I need to find someone else who's started watching it just for James Spader and compare notes with them.  

That could be.  It's likely something on my end moreso than the show's end.  Do you suppose the show might change or are the episodes generally like this?

I have never seen an episode of this show or the UK original.  I loved James Spader's work as Alan Shore so I tuned in for this.  I like Robert California but I found the rest of the characters silly and other than Pam, I couldn't really relate to any of them. Is this the way the show usually is and the comedy just…

So will you be covering the show regularly or is this a one-time thing?  I've been watching since the beginning and I love the show so I suppose that makes me one of the "incredibly boring people" another poster mentioned.  I do see where people who don't like it are coming from when I read reviews and comments but it…

I'm waiting for Gwen to meet The Doctor, actually.

If you mean in storyline, I don't know.  If you mean in reality, it's because The Doctor will never appear on Torchwood because they don't want kids watching the more mature show. (In subject matter, if not in plotting and characterization)

I forget where I read it (maybe in RTD's book?) but I read somewhere that the plotline got switched—originally Ianto was supposed to become the Dead Man Walking but for whatever reason, Owen wound up with the storyline instead.

In the 51st century, there might be all matter of aliens and races he could having sex with. On TV here in the 21st century, other than men and women, what does that leave for Jack to be shown having sex with? I don't think bestiality or necrophilia would do well in the ratings. At least, I'd hope they wouldn't.

Maybe one of the writers is a fan of Nicholas Colasanto who played Coach on Cheers?

He has had children and grandhcildren over the years so unless he's become a frequent visitor to sperm banks, it's implied that he's had relations with women. Also, one of the season 1 episodes of TW features the death of a woman he loved earlier in the twentieth century when she was a much younger woman.

The Doctor has appeared twice on The Sarah Jane Adventures which is aimed directly at kids so I'm not sure it's a matter of licensing or not. However, I'm certainly not privy to BBC negotiations and business transactions so you may make a perfectly valid point, for all I know.

I remember him as the killer in one of the season one episodes of The Mentalist.

I didn't think I was.

Can you…
…or more specifically, can I add a show in the hopes you might cover it or do I have to wait until someone actually starts covering it? IE, I'm hoping you'll be covering Torchwood: Miracle Day and I'd like to have it on my list to make sure I won't miss if you do. Is that an option, not an option, not an…
