    1. @rhetoricalpony haha =D there aren't enough characters in a hundred posts for that. Best bet is to go to a wiki, or watch the 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors, since they are pretty much self-contained

      1. @trister I hear doctor who talk. I want in.

        1. @techdisk42 well @rhetoricalpony was just inquiring about the lore. There's a little too much history to go into, so I was saying that the three new doctors are the best bet for newcomers

          1. @trister yeah. The 9,10,11 are good to start with. 10 is best. 9 was pretty cool, but he left too quick for me to start liking him. 11 is ok.

            1. @techdisk42 I haven't seen much of Matt Smith, but he is pretty unique. I liked Eccleston, but Tennant was my favourite too

                1. @techdisk42 my old Uni friends said I was doing a Tennant when I turned up in a suit and converse one day. we had a moot in my Law class, so I had to wear a suit, but I didn't want to wear my proper shoes because I walk to Uni and they suck for long walks, so I changed into them just before the moot

                  1. @trister that is freaking awesome. My friend is obsessed with tennant, and is the one who introduced me to who. Tennant first. During lunch. On his laptop.

                    1. @techdisk42 haha =D my mum thinks Tennant is a bit too much of a show-off. He's just really fun though

                      Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:22:29 UTC from web
      2. @trister Ok so I am just watching the 5th series Doctor is that a good place to start?

        Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:03:01 UTC from web
        1. @rhetoricalpony not really... Try second or first series.

          Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:06:17 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
          1. @techdisk42 I would if I could but they only show the 5th series here

            Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:09:12 UTC from web
            1. @rhetoricalpony you can probably find the older series on some site somewhere... and the DVD should be sold some places

              Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:10:45 UTC from web
              1. @trister Luck has it I tunes has I think all of the series...

                Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:13:49 UTC from web
                1. @rhetoricalpony awesome, you should check them all out if you can. There are some episodes that aren't all that great, but all in all it's pretty awesome

                  Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:18:10 UTC from web
        2. @rhetoricalpony err.. that would be Matt Smith... I think... I haven't seen many of his episodes, but it's a pretty cool series, and I don't think it links in with the others all that much. I would go back to the first series of the newer ones to get the whole story, but the fifth series is a fine place to jump in to, there isn't likely to be any problems unless River Song shows up... but then even I'm not sure about her and I've seen every ep with her in I think... they have history in the future or something. other than that all you need to know is Cybermen are bad and Daleks are worse

          Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:08:21 UTC from web
          1. @trister Hmmm sounds like I have a ton to catch up on.....but Matt Smith is pretty funny also another question why is every Dr. different than the last?

            1. @rhetoricalpony when he comes close to death every cell in his body regenerates, giving him a different appearance, and a degree of personality change

              Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:16:10 UTC from web
              1. @trister Ok then that makes sense....so is he human?

                Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:19:06 UTC from web
                1. @rhetoricalpony nope, he's a time lord, the race was destroyed in a war with the Daleks leaving only him and the Master left I believe. The Daleks were supposedly wiped out too but they keep coming back. The war is time locked so that no-one can travel back to it.

            2. @rhetoricalpony timelords have a way of cheating death through regeneration. Unfourtunately, they completely change looks and personality in the process. Also, tennant is extremely funny. EXTREMELY.

              1. @techdisk42 Tennant?

                Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:19:21 UTC from web
                1. @rhetoricalpony David Tennant played the tenth doctor

                  Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:21:40 UTC from web
                  1. @trister Oh ok you lost me for a sec there

                    Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:22:28 UTC from web
              2. @techdisk42 look at them, these human beings. from the day they arrive on the planet and, blinking, step into the sun... there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do th... no, wait. hold on... sorry, that's the Lion King... but the point still stands; leave 'em alone!'

                Monday, 02-Apr-12 23:19:45 UTC from web
                1. @trister oh David, how we loved your doctor. ALLONS-Y!

                    1. @trister I loved that part. "what's your name?" "Alonzo" *incredulous look* "NO"

                      1. @techdisk42 that was a pretty good ep for one so silly
