Only people with no imagination automatically think "sci-fi" == "for children". :rolleyes:

I don't. I have a lot of SF books (paper and electronic), and have read / watched it all my life. But Dr. Who is a children's sci-fi program, not adult. Compare it to "Torchwood", "The Last Ship", "Star Trek", heck even "Babylon 5" was more adult in theme (once it got to the third season, anyway).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ah, ok. Got it.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

That's complete bollocks. You don't need sex or violence in order for adults to be able to watch it. Dr Who is for anyone, of any age, should they enjoy watching it, it is designed for, written for, marketed for, and aired at a time appropriate for the old and young to watch. Torchwood was aimed at adults only. Other things are aimed at children only. Dr Who is most definitely not a children's program.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Peter Capaldi. What does everyone make of him. I must say I'm quite disappointed. Not sure if it's because he is following Matt Smith, who was great, but he just seems a bit boring. I expected so much better from him. What do you think?

Well, I think Alexander Armstrong is doing a reasonable job as the new David Jason, and Stephen Fry was the perfect choice for Colonel K. :-D

Tom Baker was the best.

I never liked him at all: too strange and hammed it up. Still, better than some. Pertwee also got on my nerves.

I really disliked Matt Smith in every way. I like Peter Capaldi; it brought the series back to life for me. (My youngest daughter gave up on it with Matt Smith, though that has as much to do with Moffat's lousy producing. I've encouraged her to give the Capaldi episodes a try.)

Haha - good, but I meant as an actor; way too camp and that lisp was bloody annoying.

I don't recall Tom Baker having a lisp? :confused:

I have no idea. I stopped watching it when I grew up.

Why would you do that? It is a complete waste of time! [growing up, I mean.]

Personally, I think he's 'rocking' it (pun intended) in series 9. The story lines were a bit weak in series 8, and I think Capaldi didn't really come fully into the part quite yet. But so far, these first few have been awesome, and Capaldi is really getting into it now. He even said he didn't feel comfortable in the Tardis last series, and they redesigned it to fit him better. Even bringing back the round panels, which is awesome. It just took him a little while to make the part his own, but I think so far he has succeeded in series 9.

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

I thought the shades were horrible. Capaldi is a fine actor but he is struggling to find "his" Doctor. Tenant and Smith nailed it out of the gate, building recognizable character traits immediately. IMHO Capaldi has not. I'm not sure if that's his issue or the producers. I think his stories have been, for the most part, sub-par. It's time for some fresh blood behind the camera.

I'm getting used to him but I'd still prefer seeing any of the three preceding actors in the role. I wasn't crazy about Capaldi in his first season because they seemed to play on his character's confusion. Now that the Doctor's become more sure of himself it feels less like he's stumbling around.
