Why does this brawl between rival Star Wars and Doctor Who fan clubs sound like a scene from Fanboys? http://t.co/YecFnnhdpl

Doctor Who?
No, it’s just the Doctor.

BBC is planning an origins movie for Doctor Who. It’s not about the Timelord, but the actual creators of the show. http://t.co/byjVs0MQ

I love Doctor Who and I love Star Trek, but I don’t want to mix them together, unlike this comic book publisher. http://t.co/TzdIivsF

Think Doctor Who is the only TV show missing episodes? Lot of British shows have been lost. http://t.co/CiwtlAg7

If you’re new to Doctor Who, you could try to figure out the chronology with Wikipedia or you could just use this. http://t.co/ikhPElx2

Doctor Who has been around so long that it is a rare fan who has watched every available episode, especially those who only came onboard after the show's most recent revival. In reality, no one has seen every episode since more than 100 were intentionally erased by the BBC decades ago to free space in their tape library.
Over the years, some episodes have been recovered, but the amount of newly discovered material has slowed down enough that fans feared none of the remaining lost shows would ever be recovered. The good news is that some new episodes were recently found. Huzzah!
Who fans who can't get enough of the good doctor are also excited about an impending video game, but I have my doubts. It's not very often that any kind of video-game tie-in is very good and considering how good the show is, the game is going to have to be pretty special in order to measure up.
How good is the show? Well, it's one of the titles in this conversation that ponders the question of what is the best science fiction show on TV today. I can't think of anything better, although I'll be honest and say that I haven't seen much of the competition so I'm not the best judge.
The recent news that has some fans alarmed is talk of making a Doctor Who feature film. Most worrying is the quote from the would-be director that "it needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena." Yikes.
The BBC has since tried to quash the rumour, saying that there is no Doctor Who movie in the works. I sure hope not. -

It’s always good news when one of the 100+ missing episodes of Doctor Who is found. Two more have been discovered. http://t.co/re4y2BpO

I never caught on with the 70′s series (Baker) because I only saw a few shows here and there sporadically. I really liked the Eccleston/Piper combo when it first aired and was able to make time to watch the first few episodes. But the Sunday night shows were not convenient and I did not want to bother taping them. I knew I really wanted to get back someday and I prefer to get into a show when a few seasons are already ‘in the can’. Yeah, it took me a long time, but the good news is I now have a LOT of shows to watch.
Nearly even convinced my son to pick up one of the many Dr. Who novels I have sitting on my shelves. He oped for Asimov’s “I, Robot” instead. Hmmm.

In our household, we’ve just started season 2 with Tennant. The good news is that my son enjoys the show so we get to watch them together.

It took me a while to warm up to Tennant because I really liked Eccleston. I think there is always a period of adjustment when a new actor takes on the Doctor’s role.
I haven’t tried watching the shows with my kids, but they probably would enjoy them. Perhaps when I start watching the Matt Smith episodes, we can start then so they’re starting with a fresh face.
I think that the first Doctor you watch becomes the definitive one for you.
