- The ‘future looks like modern day London. Except if you’re watching old shows, then it looks like 60’s London.
- The Dr’s time traveling device is a telephone booth. From my understanding, everyone can see it and see him pop in from whenever he’s coming from.
- What’s to keep someone from getting into his phone booth and jacking his time-ride?
- When phasing into existence, what happens to the people who are occupying the street where the phone booth lands. London is a walking town and the streets are always full of people.
- Why is the super smart time-space phone booth called a tardus???
Supernatural Convention Part 3
“King of Hell or President of the United States?”
There were also plenty of funny and hectic moments with both Collins and Sheppard, separately and together, not to mention the numerous other panelists and guests that took the stage that Saturday. I enjoyed hearing long lines of fans during Q&A’s ask the same 4-5 questions (reworded very slightly) to each guest in turn: “What was your most awkward moment?” “What’s your favorite episode?” “What’s your acting process?” “Who’s your celebrity crush?” “Can I have a hug?” And so on. Every once in a great while a really good fan question would come up, like someone asking Mark Sheppard, “Which did you like more: Being on Supernatural or being on Doctor Who?”
“I’m not going to answer that,” Mark said, instantly turning into the lovable raspy-voiced jerk he’s most known for portraying in fiction. He’s quite British, you see, so his preferences need not be stated. (Doctor Who t shirt selected with love from our Funny t shirt category because it’s pretty damn funny.) Everyone did their own impersonation of Sheppard at some point, usually just by saying the word “No”, or, occasionally the word “Cardio” for some reason.
Who is Doctor Who and other interesting questions.
I have watched some episodes of Dr. Who and liked it a lot, but this morning I received an email from my best friend with a number of interesting questions about the show that I don’t feel qualified to answer. I think I can answer about half of these well, but the rest all pretty much defy my experience. Also, I think this is pretty funny, even as a fan. If you have any answers please feel free to respond or email me at [email protected].
(By the way, I know enough about the Doctor to know that this Matt Smith t-shirt is not exactly the optimal choice, as David Tennant was a lot more popular, although Matt seems to be gaining in popularity from what I have seen. T shirt image thanks to the TV show t shirt category)
“Dead Dave,
I’m looking for a simple explanation of what Dr Who is about and why people have been watching it for over 47 years. From what I’ve read and heard, there’s no reason why a Sham-wow infomercial looped over 25 years wouldn’t be as interesting.
Here’s what I have after talking to Greg last night and trying to read the Wiki and Netflix pages:
The show is not funny .
The Dr is super smart but nearly always rendered helpless or confounded in every show.
The Dr doesn’t have a gun.
Everyone around the Dr gets kidnapped.
Each incarnation of Dr Who is more annoying than past Dr’s.
The Dr doesn’t die, just regenerates. Regenerates from what, not being dead?? Why regenerate a perfectly good body??
There’s no special effects.
There are no scary villains.
The Dr. has no defined purpose. Like Quincy or Murder She Wrote, things just happen around him.
There are no hot girls nude, nor are there hot girls with clothes on.
Each episode costs about .37 cents to produce & it shows.
There is no good place to start watching the show. Either you were born and raised to it or you’ll never get it without watching all the shows.
Time Travel get’s it’s own category:
I feel like I’ve been left out because it seems that the show is really boring. I sure would like to understand what it is I’m missing. At the suggestion of one of the guys from work who lives in London, I’m going to start watching the 2005 season.
Anything you can add to clarify?”
I will answer a couple that are pretty simple. TARDIS is an acronym that stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It looks like a police call box because the chameleon circuit has malfunctioned and is more or less stuck. Incidentally, the Tardis weighs something like 50,000 pounds. The reason no one can walk in and steal the time ride is each Tardis is biologically imprinted with the owner, in this case Doctor Who. Not sure how he got it imprinted. I haven’t seen that episode. Also the Doctor has a key that can lock the door.
As for the scary villains, I think some of them are quite scary. Here is a list of the top 5 worst Doctor Who villains. Anyway, if anyone else has a comment for my friend feel free to post a reply. Thanks for your help.
