Thanks, I hadn't seen it yet. Looks good, I can't wait!

From Topless Robot, where I found the link above:
There's a Doctor Who (and vaguely steampunk)-themed bar in Brooklyn. It's called the Way Station. It features viewings of new and classic Who episodes on Sundays and Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Mondays. The drink menu includes Gallifreyan cocktails. The bathroom is a TARDIS. They keep track of The Silence sightings with marks on the wall. The ATM screen says "EXTERMINATE" on it and prints "Bad Wolf" on all receipts. It's at 683 Washington Avenue, and the next time I get to New York I will see you there.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
Awesome!

If only! First: I have classes, second: I am not of legal age to drink, and third: I would never feel like driving that far. I'd do a plane ride for sureSo I take it you and Jenn and going to plan a road trip to NY while you're out here
To think: just 12 more days until a brand new ep of Who! Can't wait! But sad to think we won't be getting that much Who on tv next year.Well, I've been preparing myself anyway, and stocking up, currently having a ton of audios I haven't listened to yet that I got through loads of deals. I'm also currently saving for a subscription to next year's new 4th Doctor audio series, which is funny because the BBC Hornet's Nest series has never really appealed to me, although that might be because, from everything I've heard, it's less "audio play" and more "audio book". Next year's series from Big Finish though is something I'm really looking forward to.
Spoiler:Can't wait!
In the meantime, I've been currently listening to a particular major arc with the 6th Doctor. Really great stuff I've listened to so far. One thing I love about the radio series made by Big Finish: they can play around with timey-wimeyness in a much, much bigger way than Moffat could, really. Not that I don't love Moffat's confusing time travel eps, but he doesn't quite have as much freedom really playing with that when he's got to tell his stories in a visual medium. 6th Doctor story Brotherhood of the Daleks is a nice example of that. Not only were there some nice little nods made to a 3rd Doctor story, there were also nice little nods to an 8th Doctor audio story as well. Really liking that.
Oh, and my subscriber bonus story arrived today: The Five Companions! The 5th Doctor, 5 companions, sontarans and daleks! Eep! I might just wait until xmas day before listening to this, though. Save it as a special treat. I must say though, Big Finish have been getting much, much better with their subscriber exclusives in recent years. Before, they had some good ideas, but only for a few hardcore fans, it has to be said. Like "Return to the Web Planet" or "Return of the Krotons" (the latter of which does push the current 6 arc I'm listening to forward a little, so I'm told). But for the past two years? Well, in 2009 we had the Doctor not only meet his granddaughter for the first time in years, we also had him meet his part-human great grandson. To describe a "bonus" story as MAJOR doesn't begin to cover it. Then we had "The Four Doctors" which, while hardly an epic or, in terms of even audio canon, a massive gamechanger, it was still a rather clever time travel tale with 4 doctors and daleks. I'll be interested in hearing how good the subscriber bonus is this year (although, to be honest, I think AEC pretty much set the standard for convincing people to spend £70).

I know, James! In the next 9 months or so, we are going to get 2 hours of new Who on television. Makes me a tad depressed, thinking about it...
but then, as you so astutely mentioned, we have loads of audio to tide ourselves overI was thinking, though....we need to hurry up and get through the 8/Lucie stories so I can get to that Christmas special on time! 12 days, as you said! I don't see why it would be an issue to listen to at least one a day to get myself caught up until then. They are only 50 min, afterall.
Your description of BotD makes me even more excited to listen to it today. I'm just hoping it's an obvious allusion to and 8th Doctor story. I want to catch the reference too, but with studying all all...I can make no promises
Where does the ep with the Doctor's granddaughter fall in the chronology of what we are listening to right now?
Hmm, you're right regarding season 3. I'll try and send you at least one story a night of 8 and Lucie across the next week anyway.
As for when 8 meets Susan? Well...we'll get to that point eventually, anyway.

MEUR...I totally hate you
Ok, so the latest christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe was just on. Thoughts? I liked it, and I really enjoyed its fairy tale atmosphere. Love it? Erm, well, let me think about that. It did seem to be a bit slow at times. Not that much really happened, and there wasn't that much of a threat. But I did love how magical it was, as well as some certain continuity nods. Also appreciated seeing Bill Bailey and Arabella Weir in some nice comedic roles.
Spoiler:
So, overall score: 7/10. A little slow and predictable in some aspects, but overall, another nice fairy tale story from Moffat.

Very touching ending! So......Spoiler:
i finally got around to watching the Christmas Special. I really liked it, but it may be at least a bit because I was happy to have some new Doctor Who.
I am watching the first episode of the 2005 series again because one of my roommates is talking about maybe giving Doctor Who a try after having talking to his brother about the episode The End of the World from the 2005 series. I nearly forgot how much I actually love Eccleston as the Doctor.

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan both won awards for Best Actor and Actress at the UK TV Awards this week

Well done to both of them.
Although not an Amy fan, I think Karen was good in some of the episodes - personally think Eva Myles should have won, but at least Doctor Who is bringing home much deserved awards
DOGDAMMIT! I keep seeing this thread bumped and think that Dr. Who is coming back
it is coming back, like in the fall
we just have to take a cue from a certain scottish redhead and be patient
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
So I finally got caught up with the Matt Smith seasons, so I am current! So excited! I just wish I got BBC America so i could continue to be current during the new season, lol.
I gotta say, I was leery of Smith at first (probably because I was so attached to Tennant. Funnily enough, I was the same way towards Tennant at first because I loved Eccleston so much), but now I'm sorry I ever doubted him. He is fantastic.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Agreed completely, Rjeso! Although I was one of the few people who wasn't skeptical about him, as he came across as so wonderfully weird and bonkers in his interviews that I thought, "Yes, this guy is a natural." I was especially excited when I saw his first scene: while it was sad to see Tennant go (although I wasn't a fan of how his doctor became in his final story), Smith's Doctor reminded me instantly of Troughton, one of my favourite classic doctors. He's even better than I thought he'd be, if I'm honest. Favourite Smith ep so far?
And I wouldn't worry too much about not having BBCAmerica just yet: series 7 won't broadcast until fall, from everything I've heard.

is the favorite Matt Smith ep an open question? If so....you should know I refuse to pick
And yeah, James has it right: there will be a 2012 Easter special (we're told), followed by series 7 split up over fall 2012/Spring 2013 (plus Christmas 2012) and then series 8 will air in its entirety in fall 2013....leading to the 50th anniversary specials
Hmm, it's difficult for me to pick a favourite Matt Smith ep, but for the moment, I'd say either Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone or A Good Man Goes to War are tied for favourite (for very different reasons, obviously).
Oh, and I recently ordered a shit load of cheap Who dvds (probably not the wisest thing to do with a massive tax rebate, but sod it), and I'm hoping by the end of the year to have every single Who story that has been released so far. Shockingly, a lot of these dvds include stories I've never seen before! Included among this lot, and which arrived today, was The Twin Dilemma, apparently one of the worst Doctor Who stories ever. You know what, I think I'll just watch it tonight and get it over with. I'll post some thoughts on here afterwards. (Not during, I remember my reaction to Time Flight, after all: that began with an episode that wasn't that bad, in fact it was pretty good, but then, as i continued watching, my thoughts eventually became, "Ah...oh...oh shit, that is bad...hold on, how does that even make sense in the slightest?!?" Yeah, it wasn't exactly a good 'un.)

sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to reading it
No, Revisitations 3 won't be released for a couple of weeks, so no spares yet, I'm afraid!
