How excited are you about Doctor Who?

[altariel]

Yes, so, I just picked up the Radio Times, and I got quite excited.

[Poll #1545047]

I see that the Sci-Fi Channel is running "Logopolis" opposite "The Eleventh Hour". Punchy.

How about "I'm slightly hopeful that this won't be as stupid as Rusty's tenure and that Smith won't gurn as much as Tennant"?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I think that's B.

[lil-shepherd.livejournal.com]

As I shall probably watch it on the i-player some time next week...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will be very easy to catch a repeat.

B): I am excited, but not as excited as First Small Person, who is about to get his very own Doctor and be allowed to watch on a regular basis (Nine and Ten were definitely considered Grown Up Entertainment in our household, but the Boy is growing up...)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Aw!

[paranoidangel]

I can't get excited about something that's happening on Saturday when there's something on Friday first: Ashes to Ashes! And a day off.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Hurray for days off! I love these quiet bank holiday mornings. I gave up on Ashes to Ashes partway through the second episode, so I've only tomorrow to look forward to!

Is there a viewing event at Eastercon? If not, can we watch ensemble?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty certain it'll be shown in the main hall or the bar or something.

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

emmzzi tells me it's being shown in the main hall. SOEXCITEDOMG.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's going to be great.

[carl-allery.livejournal.com]

Mass viewing is just so much more fun. I understand some people prefer room party viewing, but I think the main event has a certain ... hysteria ... ;)

[x] I'm not allowed to get excited about it yet until it comes out on DVD and I can get it from Lovefilm.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Eek! You have more patience than I do!

[owlfish]

I'm vaguely interested and may get around to watching it?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I think you should!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

LOL! I couldn't comprehend that sufficiently to include such an option on my poll!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-)

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

Call me cautiously optimistic and slightly excited. I may organize a small viewing party (i.e. 2-4 people) on Monday night, though, when my friends are back from their Easter weekend with the family.

Have fun at Easter*Con, by the way!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I covet that icon.

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

If you'd like to snurch it, just go ahead. I took it from a public icon post where it was shared on the "want - take - credit - have" basis, and the creator's name is listed among my userpic info.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

That is an excellent brainy specs icon.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

I am so excited I am likely to drop my bag of crisps and burst into tears.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

That's OK, I will get you more crisps. And hand you a hanky so you can blow your nose.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

You are the best friend ever!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ooh, though, definitely give it a try!

[manna]

Ooh, is it starting *this* Saturday? AWESOME! Now I'm excited!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! (Will you be at Eastercon?)

[manna]

No, we won't, sadly. I'm spending my con-going ration on Connotations, this year, now that it's finally moved from the awful hotel they used to use.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'll miss you. Redemption next year?

[manna]

Oh, yes! Definitely.

[trixieleitz]

E: Too far behind to be really excited on my own behalf, but still excited that you are excited :D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Eeee!

[muninnhuginn]

It is somewhat of a relief that Looby Loo is out of the country for the next couple of days--I was beginning to worry about the solidity of the house's foundations each time she quivered with anticipation at one of the trailers.

Incidentally, she seems to believe that such excitement is not allowed in grown-ups: she was genuinely surprised when I confessed to just how worried and excited I was before the last episode of Being Human.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

That first inkling that adults are not the cool, unshakeable rocks that they have seemed throughout our childhood so far!

[brendan-moody.livejournal.com]

I am excited, of course, but somehow it doesn't feel real. There was so much hoopla, and I was so excited, about "The End of Time" that, even though I obviously knew series five was coming, New Year's Day felt like a proper series finale. I keep thinking, "There's more Doctor Who coming soon, already? Surely not."

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's been so much the Rusty and Tennant show for so long that it's kind of surprising to discover it really can go on without them!

[lhun-dweller.livejournal.com]

Um, what's happening?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

New season of Doctor Who started on Saturday.
