Doctor Who

[Bishop]

This is one of my favorite shows right now, good sci-fi stuff that is a bit quirky. Plus at one point they played a Streets song on the show, how rad is that?

[gloriousmuse]

A very lonely bump this will be.

I'm excited for season 4 next week

[ThexQuietxCull]

man, the special came out like over three months ago. they need to get started on the new season now

[Erzeal]

I freaking love Doctor Who.
Especially season 3. I just ordered it on dvd the other day.
One of the best shows on tv if not the best. IMO.

[gloriousmuse]

I love season 3 too but I don't like Martha as much. I miss Rose who is coming back in three episodes!!!!

[Erzeal]

I liked Rose a lot. But Martha has been my favorite so far actually.
I just hope David Tennant stays as the Doctor for a good while. He is awesome.

[ThexQuietxCull]

first 2 eps of doctor who season 4 are out

[gloriousmuse]

I know but since it airs in the U.S. two weeks after, there's no need for me to illegally download them. Besides David Tennant deserves to be seen on the big screen.

[capnshindig]

With the amount of Euro posters in the forum, I was surprised nobody has started a thread about this. The finale of season 4 is tomorrow and I am pumped. Anybody who wants to join in can.

[heyzombiehitler]

Whaa?

[capnshindig]

Whaa?

Do you watch Doctor Who, or no?

[Until The Bombs]

I've wanted to check this show out for a while, but the DVDs are just so damn expensive.

Torrent it. They're easy to find.

[Until The Bombs]

Torrent it. They're easy to find.

Need a new computer before that's happening. My five year old laptop over heats and shuts down after like 20 mins of watching video.

[secretsociety92]

This is a great show, watched it since the first series and I cannot wait to see who he regenerates into. I guess it would good if James Nesbitt did become Doctor Who but David Tennant is definitely the best the show has had.

[gloriousmuse]

I cant wait for Saturday! Last weeks episode was so awesome.

[entrepy]

Hmm... have to say Pertwee would probably be my favourite, though Tennant is pretty good. Not sure if I could get used to a Doctor with a Norn Irish accent in Jimmy.

[BrokenMirror]

I will never in my life understand the appeal of Doctor Who. Or the Eurovision Song Contest. Or Ricky Gervais.

is it really? damnit, it just seemed like it started. i think tennant will regenerate into....... himself. he signed on for 3 or who dr. who movies in 2009, and is scheduled to play the doctor in 2010.

TARDIS FTW

[Anderson]

This is a great show, watched it since the first series and I cannot wait to see who he regenerates into. I guess it would good if James Nesbitt did become Doctor Who but David Tennant is definitely the best the show has had.I can't imagine that the BBC have had someone else lined up as Dr Who and managed to keep it under wraps, therefore I figure it must work out okay for the David Tennant incarnation.

David Tennant is my favourite of the more modern Dr Whos, but I think Tom Baker has to be the best ever.

[entrepy]

I thought that episode wasn't great, seemed to be full of deus ex machinas. The ending was quite nice though.

say WUT

[entrepy]

It seemed to be filled with lots of things happening without much prior reference that ended up saving the day.

Oh, and the whole Donna 'dying' was a major cop out

[RememberFminus2]

i was in london, big brother is annoying as fuck

[gloriousmuse]

I hate BB. My boyfriend loves it. Whenever I visit him, I always end up watching it. But it had its perks because then I would watch The Friday Night Project (now Sunday night)and I didn't feel so clueless to some of the BB jokes that were made. :-D

[capnshindig]

Kind of a dissapointing end to be honest. Big and epic as I expected, but kind of...lackluster.

[ThexQuietxCull]

need eztv to get it up

[gloriousmuse]

I was sobbing like a baby at the end. But it wasn't that great. I honestly think the Stole Earth episode was better than this one.

The "other" Doctor and Rose going together was a bit cheesy

[Neo Cassady]

My girlfriend's dad watches this show all the time, so I catch glimpses of it when I'm at her house. Never watched a full episode, though.

[eucademix]

i downloaded the finale and it was great. except for a few things that pissed me off.

[gloriousmuse]

I think one of my favorite moments was definitely a naked David Tennant. Give me more of that please.

[eucademix]

naked david tennant is good stuff.

Discussion of this cheeky fellow. In all of his currently 10 incarnations.

[gloriousmuse]

There's already a thread on this but this show doesn't get enough love on here, so why not a duplicate.

I can't wait for the Christmas special.

[Shatter590]

i actually went thru three pages on search looking for one and couldnt find it.

this show needs more love. i was in england the day they aired the season finale...and the next day it was dr who this and dr who that.

[gloriousmuse]

DT is just quit being the Doctor!!!! :bluesad:

We won't get a new one till 2010 so I hope this Xmas special is kick ass.

New Doctor, Matt Smith:

I approve. But I only base this off his looks.

[ThexQuietxCull]

ehhhh. im extremely skeptical. when is this supposed to come back? and isn't tennant supposed to do some Dr. movies still?

[gloriousmuse]

I think Tennant has 4 1-hour specials this year and January 2010 is when the series will start with the new guy.

[ThexQuietxCull]

that is what i thought. thanks for the confirmation

[gonfreaks]

I wasn't a big fan of the choice at first, but the interview got me a little more hopeful. Plus, I have faith in Moffat.

that is the only thing i am hopeful about is that the other guy stepped away and moffat is in control. pumped for that

[Until The Bombs]

Just starting watching the newer edition of this series. Good stuff so far. Yay! for Netflix streaming.

[eucademix]

i just watched the doctor who special about the 11ths doctor and the new one is pretty charming so far, i'd like to see what he brings to table next year.

[buysoap]

Bump for fantasticness.

[Recovery Room]

Still need to check this out.

[Jessooker]

I'm watching season 2. i didn't think i would like this show as much.

I mean of the newer series.

[williek311]

I mean of the newer series.
I've only seen a couple episodes of this show but I always see the ones with the previous Doctor not the current one. And he was only in the show for like a handful of episodes. I was just a little confused there for a second.

The previous Doctor (the ninth, Christopher Eccleston) was the Doctor for all of Season 1 (the first of the current series).

[Jessooker]

Tennant is my favorite. He was such a fun Doctor.

[EndlessMike]

I just noticed that there's a ton of Doctor Who on Netflix Instant. Is it necessary to see the older stuff before seeing the new series that started in 2005?

[jamiechaotic]

in an attempt to bump a dead thread, is there anyone on ap.net who loves this show?

[ThexQuietxCull]

Not necessarily. I jumped into the series in 2005 and absolutely loved it. As far as I know, there is no need to see the older stuff in order to enjoy or understand the new stuff.

First part of The End of Time was great, new doctor is gonna be shit.

I got into NuWho when David took the role, so he's the one I'm most attached to. When they brought back Sarah Jane and k-9, I wanted to know more of their stories and it's nice to see the references made in the present.

I have EOT part 1 on my computer, but I think i can wait four more hours for bbca to see it at last.

[Sheldon]

If one thing's for certain, I know I'll be watching the new series.

I actually really enjoyed Eccelston as the Doctor before Tennant took over. Did you see his season (2005)?

I prefer watching it on my computer rather than on BBCA - no commercials

I have seen his season, and I liked it too. Just not as much as Tennant's Doctor. Probably didn't help that I didn't see it until this summer, but whatever.

Oh me too! Especially since BBCA tends to edit the US versions, like the Runaway Bride, and the fact that the UK gets it broad casted before the the US does. I'm watching it with a friend who lives on the other side of the country, so we'll chat during the commercials.

Wasn't aware of the US edits. BBCA has gotten better about the length between broadcast dates, especially since EOT Part 1 is being shown just the day after the premiere in GB.

[secretsociety92]

He is virtually unknown, way too young for the role and what he has been in he hasn't been spectacular and Russel T. Davies isn't involved anymore plus it will more than likely be toned down.
good shit or bad shit? haha. i think he looks the part, but i've never seen any of his work.

Bad shit and looks aren't everything.

[kianacarly]

I freaking love Dr. Who. David is the Doctor I adore the most having started watching it when he came on the show, so although I have The End of Time being DVR'd on my other TV, I'm a little hesitant to watch it. Obviously there have been quite a few incarnations of the Doctor, but it'll be a weird adjustment for me.

Sort of on the subject of Doctor Who, I have taken the past few days to re-watch the entire Torchwood series (I've seen most of it, but unfortunately there are still certain episodes I missed or just don't remember that well), and it has been an awesome last two or three days.

[ThexQuietxCull]

He is virtually unknown, way too young for the role and what he has been in he hasn't been spectacular and Russel T. Davies isn't involved anymore plus it will more than likely be toned down.

I am actually excited that Davies will be gone from the show. While I appreciate Davies for bringing the show back, Moffat is miles better as a writer

Davies has never done a good ending. The finale is always a let down.

I like Davies' action and suspense and drama in his writing, but Moffat's episodes are some of my absolute favorites. The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, and the CIN thing with Tennant and Davison are brillirant.

Moffat does everything better - his episodes are more intriguing than Davies, and when I think back on memorable DW episodes, Moffat's are more numerous than Davies. Super pumped for this coming season

[secretsociety92]

Davies has never done a good ending. The finale is always a let down.
At least it has always had a good premise, plot, witty writing, some of the best new enemies and assitants.

It certainly did, my friend.

I agree that Davies has done a lot of good for the series, but I seriously doubt that it is going anywhere. Moffat will continue with the good times.

I see Moffat doing well with the writing and everything its just that it is kind of a shame he is going to be the head of it all when Tennant leaves.

[gloriousmuse]

That was definitely a tear jerker. I think I'm going to like Matt Smith though, he seemed fun.

[Sheldon]

The preview for the series on iplayer looks pretty awesome.

[Bishop]

Does anybody know where I can watch the End of Time online? I don't have cable and every link to a video I find seems to be messed up.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I always wish I could have been more into Doctor Who. I've always enjoyed watching it whenever I would see it. David Tennant has done some seriously good work and thanks to it was kinda of my introduction to Who. Matt Smith looks good though, his bit at the end was fun. The last 30 minutes of The end of time were really good. Fortunately Tennant is coming over here to do a show on NBC.

Absolutely. I'm always psyched to see actors I really like so things outside of what they are known for. It would be cool to see Tennant get big here.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Anyone have any good recommendation on which are the best Tennant seasons of Doctor Who. I'm thinking of getting some.

[ThexQuietxCull]

that is definitely a tough one. i would tell you to get all three of his seasons!

if you have to make a choice:

in season 2, his chemistry with rose is excellent, and the episodes are pretty good-plus you get to enjoy jackie tyler and mickey

in season 3, the episodes are amazing, but his chemistry with martha isnt what it was with rose in season II

i would rather have one of those than season 4

I've only seen a handful of episodes and I remember being really impressed with that "Human Nature" episode they had. "Silence in the Library" was a good one.

[ThexQuietxCull]

"silence in the library" is written by steven moffat, which is in season 4. moffat wrote my favorite episode, "Blink," which stars Carey Mulligan of An Education fame.

[doomcrs04]

Series 2 is the best. It has The Girl in the Fireplace which is one of they best episodes they've produced.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

There's a lot I like about Series 3 so I may start there. Watched "The Waters of Mars" last night and really really liked it.

Actually I may start with 2 since I just found out the DVD are $70. Fuck that.

[Ruethless]

Series 2 is the best. It has The Girl in the Fireplace which is one of they best episodes they've produced.

This


"The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" is are great goddamn episode. I almost lost it near the end of "The Satan Pit".


Was anyone else a fan of Christopher Eccleston as the doctor? I really liked him as the doctor.

[doomcrs04]

Was going to watch the new episode online but there is a free screening here with the new Doctor later this month.

[Shakriel]

Just watched the new episode. I really liked it. Excited for this series.

[Chromefox]

I ran into Christopher Eccleston at Heathrow airport. He looked angry so all I did was stare at him. True story.

[kianacarly]

Haha, I haven't been on the computer in a while and I got all excited when I saw this thread had been bumped. I've been watching nothing but Buffy lately since the LOGO channel seems to play it nonstop, but today I had a mini Doctor Who marathon and it was awesome. I'm hoping to get the new bf into Doctor Who as well so I can be my nerdy self and finally have someone know what I'm talking about. I have a friend who has seen a few episodes of Torchwood and loved it, but nobody I know even knows what Doctor Who is, unfortunately.

I haven't watched the new episode yet, but I'm definitely excited and a little nervous about it. Can't wait though.

[TJ Wells]

I just started watching, this show is so damn entertaining, and Eccleston is fantastic; I'm disappointed he'll only be around one season. But I hear Tenant is even better(?)

[Ruethless]

Tenant is fantastic,you'll love him.

[TJ Wells]

I'm gonna have nightmares about little kids in gasmasks for the next two weeks. Great.

[a speedo model]

I need to start watching this again, I haven't for the longest time..

[TJ Wells]

Ha, the whole time I was watching that episode, I kept thinking "Captain Jack is awesome, he needs his own series."

[WarpSpeedChewy]

The "Time of The Angels" episode.....was pretty amazing. I've really been getting into lately and I think tonight's episode has officially made me a fan. It's fantastic that it creeped me out more than most movies do.

Is the season Christopher Eccleston was on any good ? Watching Tennant on occasion is pretty much the reason I've gotten into this show.

[TJ Wells]

So when do I need to start watching Torchwood? Because it seems to be becoming this season's (i'm still on season 2) "Bad Wolf."

And FUCK! GILES!

You can start Torchwood season 1 now, it begins around the time the doctor gets his hand cut off in the season 2 Christmas special.

Thanks. Also, what happened to Captain Jack in the season one finale? How did they get separated? I don't remember that happening.

Wow. The "Human Nature/Family of Blood" two-parter may be my favorite episode(s) of the series. Just incredible, and Tennant's double performance was astounding.

Can you tell me what day/time it's on regularly? I'll definitely be catching up, probably in the next week (I burned through all of season 3 in one day), and want to set it up on the DVR.

BBC America, Saturday nights at either 8 or 9

No, I'm watching the last two episodes of season three right now. They just realized Saxon/The Master are the same person.

[Ruethless]

Those episodes were good. I fucking love this show so much.

I'm gonna say it right now.

I like Donna Noble. She made me laugh.

Also; is it normal for them to do a whole bunch of specials (The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, The Waters of Mars, The End of Time) to bridge the gap between regenerations? Cause all Eccleston got (albeit he was only the Doctor for one season) was a season finale. No specials.

I'd like to see Jenny come back as a companion in a future season. She is just.....wow.

Holy SHIT:

Author Neil Gaiman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman) is writing an episode for the first half of the 2011 series.

[TJ Wells]

Wow.

I've been dreading getting to the end of "The End of Time Part 2," because I knew when it was over, he'd have to regenerate into Smith. It took literally about five seconds of Smith checking out his new body before I just went "Yup. This'll be just fine."

[Spooky]

I still prefer Tennet, but Smith has done really well so far

[TJ Wells]

Well yeah, Tennant is in a league of his own, but I'm definitely liking this. Seems a bit darker, too.

This is what I love about this being a British show. It hasn't even aired here yet, but I can already get it :-)

If I'm not mistaken, they did all those specials in 2009 because Tennant did not have the time to do another full season

Agreed. I am fully entrenched in Matt Smith right now, though. I think he was a great cast.

[color_coded]

I didn't know there was a Doctor Who thread. Awesome.

[Ruethless]

I really need to catch up on the latest season. Its on demand, so its just a matter of watching the episodes, but damnit all the seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are on netflix instant play.

[TJ Wells]

Stellar episode last night. My favorite so far this season.

After watching all the episodes on Netflix, I'm not used to having to wait a week for the end of a two-parter. Dammit.

[TJ Wells]

Anyone else watch last night?

[xapplexpiex]

I just saw parts of an episode on BBC. I looked it up online and holy shit...that's a long running show. Will I need to see previous seasons to understand it, or can I jump right in? Those box sets will take forever to watch/buy.

I love the new Doctor. As much as I adored David Tennant, I am really liking Matt Smith. A lot. What are your favorite episodes so far of this season? I loved the first one, The Eleventh Hour. I am looking forward to Amy's Choice, as well.

[kianacarly]

Bumping this thread because I'm bored, it's late, and I'm a Doctor Who nerd. I'm really loving the new episodes. Smith isn't as charming or as charismatic as Tennant, but I like him a lot and I feel like these episodes have been a lot more intriguing to me than some of the older ones.

Tomorrow my boyfriend is coming over, and I've decided it is necessary that he get into this show, and he wants to as well because of how much I adore it. Problem is, I don't know what to show him first. I'm a little hesitant to show him some of the "cheesier" episodes first, but then again he's a closet anime nerd so he probably wouldn't mind much. Blink has always been my favorite episode, but I feel like it doesn't have enough of the Doctor in it for him to get a feel for the show. I'm unsure if I should start him off with Eccleston's season or one with Tennant, since I feel like he would love Tennant as the Doctor. lol at me for thinking so much into this.

Start him with Eccleston. One, he's my favorite doctor, and two, he'll get an proper introduction to the series instead of just thrusting him into the series. You could also have him watch some "Torchwood" too, that show is AWESOME.

[kianacarly]

Yeah. He really hates not watching something from the beginning (obviously I'm not talking about the ones from way back when) which is why I was considering Eccleston, but I'm unsure if I should start him from the beginning or from an episode that represents the show as a whole. Doctor Who is a pretty easy show to jump into since they usually explain or touch on past events. I'll have him watch Torchwood when it coincides with Doctor Who. I like Torchwood because it's exciting, but I don't find myself appreciating it as much as Doctor Who in terms of writing. Plus I was pissed about how it ended haha.

Ugh, I started Torchwood last week and I don't like it at all. It is so boring. Gwen Cooper is so annoying. And Captain Jack is only good on Doctor Who. Way too whiny and uptight on Torchwood. I do, however, like Tosh, Owen and (sometimes) Ianto. *SPOILER* (Or I did before they were killed off.)

I actually have been. So far I'm about halfway through series three as far as past doctors, and Eccleston and Tennant are both wonderful. Also I just started watching Torchwood. I haven't felt like this much of a nerd in a long time. Its fantastic.

[color_coded]

The Pandorica Opens was such a good episode.

[Hindividual]

"I died, then woke up a Roman, it's very distracting.

Pandorica Opens might be my favorite episode of the season. Unless the finale brings everything together (discontinuity of The Doctor's Jacket in Flesh and Stone, the fact that Amy's house has 2 floors from the outside, but two flights of stairs, the shadow in Amy's house in the premiere.)

Ugh I love this show.

[secretsociety92]

The Pandorica Opens was such a good episode.
Only good one from the series, that is unless the last one gives some answers without beating around the bush.

I think Torchwood is just a bit more dumbed down. It seems more concerned about being action-adventurey than having smart and clever writing like Doctor Who. I got my little sister and little step-siblings into Doctor Who and Torchwood, and they all prefer Torchwood. But God, I can agree with disliking Gwen Cooper. She's always fucking things up in nearly every episode. Other than her, I quite enjoy the other main characters.

I just could not get into it. With Doctor Who, I was sucked in immediately. I finished Torchwood, but I had to force myself to watch it.

[TJ Wells]

I can't believe it took me nearly the entire episode to figure out where that Pandorica thing was going. It's so obvious when you think about it.

And I'm surprised about those Torchwood reactions. I haven't watched any of it yet, but a lot of people have told me they'd put the third season (Children of Earth or something?) up against any of Tenant's seasons on Who.

[kianacarly]

I enjoy both a lot. I first watched Torchwood in my sci-fi class, and enjoyed it immediately. I prefer Doctor Who, but I don't think either are bad. I just wish Gwen wasn't so annoying.

I disliked Children of Earth, but this could be due to the fact that things did not end well for one of my favorite characters so I am extremely biased. Overall, I think Torchwood is definitely worth watching though.

I don't understand how one group of sellers can list series 3 alone for $65, then another group of sellers list all four series together for the same price. Am I missing something? This deal seems too good to pass up, but I don't wanna get screwed.

[TJ Wells]

Wow.

[TJ Wells]

I think this was my favorite finale (both parts) of all five of the seasons.

[TJ Wells]

So there's a Doctor Who/Torchwood convention in Chicago in November. And I'm seriously thinking about going.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I think I just barely got around the logic the finale was using to explain some of the events going. It was complicated to get your mind around it. For such a details heavy episode, Moffat I have to say did a great job of giving it heart. I loved that scene with the Doctor and Amelia in the end. Glad to see that River Song will be a huge point next season. "Silence in the Library" (Interesting title now) was one of the first episode I saw of Who.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

This is pretty cool.

Matt Smith is okay.. But David Tennant was waaayyy better.
It sucks that he left.
But he's going to be in a Hollywood remake of Fright Night, so that should be rather awesome.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Good question. BBC better not overprice the shit out of it.

[TJ Wells]

So what do you think the odds are of Captain Jack making a return appearance in the future? I'd say of all the major Eccleston/Tennant cast members, he'd be the most likely.

[TheOtherAndrew]

So what do you think the odds are of Captain Jack making a return appearance in the future? I'd say of all the major Eccleston/Tennant cast members, he'd be the most likely.
I wouldn't rule it out, but honestly I think Torchwood has enough of a following now to where they might feel less obligated to do it.

What I could possibly see happening though is River Song becoming the main companion in the future, particularly if Karen Gillan leaves after series 6...just a prediction.

[TJ Wells]

I don't really get where you guys are coming from with Torchwood. I'm four episodes in and love it so far, it already hooked me like this show did.

And to the person who said they were pissed about how it ended, you know there's going to be another season, right?

The American Torchwood remake pisses me off enough. How do you do that? Just erase the whole Doctor Who connection, or what?

[notoaststereo]

Haven't seen the end of the season yet, but I love it so far. Matt Smith was such a good choice for the role. And goddamn Amy is the most attractive partner he's had in the 2005 series.

I don't get the Torchwood hate either. I'm 3 episodes in and I think it's pretty fun.

[TJ Wells]

So, if I want to check out the original series, is there any particular point I should start at? Because Netflix has pretty much everything in the Instant Viewing thing, but none of them are organized by seasons or series. They all seem to be packs of episodes that tell different stories, which I assume was how the show worked before. So, please help.

Assuming it gets picked up by a network and not a cable station, I think you can guess the first thing that'll go...

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Nothing about Touchwood captures me in anyway that the Doctor did. It looks like all of the campier elements from Who put onto a show. Though I have heard good things about that tv mini series they did. Worth checking out ?

Actually from what I've heard it's not a remake. A sorta of restart that picks up where the british series left off. Russel T Davies I think is doing it and I've heard it's going to be on Starz.

I'm pretty sure they're two different things? The regular Torchwood is getting a fourth season in summer 2011, Barrowman and Myles are both coming back, and it will be on Starz. Is that what you're talking about? Because the American remake is different.

And Amy Pond might be the hottest, but Martha is far and away the best.

Maybe it's the same thing. http://www.avclub.com/articles/torchwood-coming-to-starz-next-year,41907/
The new installment of the series—which has been dormant since 2009, and which recently narrowly dodged a doomed-to-fail “American version” to be toyed with then summarily discarded by Fox—will pick up where it last left off in summer 2011, with the original showrunner and cast in place alongside a few new characters and what’s been described as a new “international scope,” one that takes full “advantage of the unlimited narrative opportunities of a premium television service like Starz,” said a guy who works for Starz. Maybe both shows are in continuity, just with different focuses.

And Amy Pond might be the hottest, but Martha is far and away the best.

Suggestions? There's enough thrift stores around here that I'll probably be able to find a close enough jacket pretty soon (I found one almost exactly the same for $3.99 yesterday, but it was too small :-()

[deanster321]

Could someone who lives in the UK give me some sort of comparison over here for the show's popularity over there? I'm just trying to gauge how popular it is.
I think most people have at least some sort of awareness of it, and in terms of ratings it's usually the most popular thing here aside from soap operas and certain sporting events and reality tv.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can get:

Fez, red/blue bow tie, red suspenders

I checked the Halloween store for the fez, but it didn't cross my mind to check for suspenders and a bow tie there as well. I'm not looking for anything particularly expensive as I'll probably only be wearing this one or two days.

i dont have any suggestions except for maybe some online costume warehouses...

i was going to go as amy this halloween, but i havent started getting together an outfit...so i dunno.

I'm just afraid to use the internet because it may not arrive in time.

right yeah. i guess id just check out some thrift stores for the bow tie and the suspenders.
you might be able to make a fez with some craft stuff, if need be.

Found a fez for $7 on eBay, had to take advantage. Shipping time is 3-7 days, so I'm not too worried. Ditto on the bow tie (only $3.50).

The thing I'm most worried about is the Sonic Screwdriver. I found a Matt Smith one for $17 on eBay ($8 cheaper than on ThinkGeek) with shipping, but the problem is it's shipping from Australia. Think it'll make it here in two weeks?

So now all I need are suspenders (gonna check Wal-Mart) and a shirt (will probably borrow one of my dad's, don't really care about how close this is as he tends to wear different ones). The coat I bought is a bit too big on me, but I'm going to wait to see how it looks with the rest of the outfit before I try to find a smaller one. Maybe it being a little big on me will look good.

if you order it using like priority shipping or whatever...you should be good on the sonic. the entire outfit sounds good. i hope it all works out. :)
