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! :)

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
