Yikes, $15 a pop?  Uhh, I watched it just fine for free.   Of course it's a different experience, specially if you decide to make a night of it with friends and so on.

Yeah I would of gone if more people were going but they weren't lol

I don't know where they got $15 a ticket from, it only cost me $13, which isn't that big of a difference but it is still $2.

At any rate, it was totally worth it. I normally hate 3D, but it didn't bother me one bit and seeing it with around 100 other Whovians was absolutely worth it. How often do you get to see a brilliant tv show like this in theaters and then add a standing ovation from dedicated fans cheering and clapping and listening to people debate where the Doctor is headed next and what happened during the show, the best parts, etc. made it it totally awesome.

By the time I found out that it was playing near me, I has already seen it twice. The experience of seeing it with others and on the big screen in 3D made it worth it the price and the hour and a half drive to the theater.

I have no problem with a doctor who's older and acts older and not so crazy all the time.  Not that I didn't like what Smith did but man, slow down a bit.

 

I agree. I liked how the War Doctor mocked the younger Doctors for acting so childish.

I kind of like how they have accounted for the childishness that started with DT and has been blown out of the water with MS.  I see a lot of PT in MS so it's always been there.  PT was the new life of the Dr following his original regeneration so we know he has that side.  The time war and everything he did, it shaped MS - almost to the point where you have seen so much and been hurt that you find it all a joke.

 

Ive watched the 50th 4 times now and I love it and see more in it each time.  Did JH regenerate because he was old? Shouldn't we have seen a bit more about ageing if that was the case?

I assumed it was something to do with the forced regeneration when he was found and revived from "The Night of the Doctor". It was sort of a temporary solution that then gave him the chance to stop the time war. Of course there are plot holes but because its Dr Who I choose to ignore most :)

If you really get to thinking about things, the plot holes are big enough to drive a big rig through, but like you I choose to ignore most of them.

I had a really weird Doctor Who dream earlier when I had to lay down due to my usual back issues - check this out:

 

What if (and yes, I know it's a Tennant power fantasy) when Capaldi regenerates (or the Doctor after him let's say) he regenerates into David Tennant's Doctor again. It would make a hell of a cliff hanger leading into a new series, and they could come up with some interesting ways of explaining it. Aliens did something during his regeneration to bring him back, it's part of a prophecy to do with something horrible coming back etc etc.

 

I won't actually say what the dream was about beyond that, since that would be highly unlikely to happen and I don't think Jenna Coleman is into that sort of stuff :|

Exactly... a 50 year series where part of the theme is time travel...you've gotta cut them some slack.

 

I loved the 50th anniversary episode.  My wife cries whenever she sees

the 4th doctor.

However, if they did manage to do that and essentially end the series it would be a bad move being that the show is far more popular now than it ever has been and it is a huge money maker for BBC.

It's becoming quite popular in the US. a lot people i know have at least heard of the show. i'm still catching up, having just finished Season 5 a couple weeks ago.

 

There were several movie theaters in my area that were showing the 50th special too! :)

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
