    A better question would be who on here doesn't watch the show;)

    Me. I don't like unbelievable plots and poor quality CGI.

    You're lucky, I was going to break out the Liam Neeson gif at first:p;)

    I'm just joking, btw, you're entitled to your own opinion!

    I was more into Stargate back in the day.

    Because they had very believable plots.

    Yes of course. I find it extremely plausible that the inhabitants of other planets in the galaxy have very similar cultures to earth, and that they all speak English with an American accent.

    Actually, wasn't that because the Doctor's Tardis (the timeship) translated the languages?
    But yeah, some of the costuming for a couple of the aliens are pretty cheesy...
    Overall not a bad show though. Any of you see Day of the Doctor?

    Yes, being in the TARDIS for any prolonged amount of time slightly radiates your brain to be able to speak and understand almost any language (but it all just sounds like the language you're used to speaking). There have been a few instances, though, where a language is present that the TARDIS can't translate.
    I think the majority of the costumes are fantastic (like the Sontarans and The Silence!) and much better than the alternative which is CGI (and the show can't always supply us with the best of that). The Cybermen and Daleks aren't the most creative aliens on the show but they're classics and have proven again and again to be as deadly as ever!
    Not a bad show at all! The show has gotten better and better as the series and seasons have advanced and the show's history grown deeper. I'm really in it for the great story plots, though! Russel T. Davies (not on the show anymore unfortunately) and Steven Moffat just keep on surprising me!
    Now that's a really stupid question:p Just like before it'd be easier to ask who on here hasn't seen the Day of the Doctor:D

    Yeah..I remember an instance being in Impossible Planet with that language of the Satan/Beast being unable to translate?
    The Silence looked great :D Apparently they're coming back alongside others including Weeping Angels, Cybermen, Daleks, and there's a Sontaran ship on the poster as well..hope Moffat can pull off all those popular foes at once..
    Agreed :D The stories improve every season..
    XP I suppose. How'd you like it?

    I loved it! Truly excellent. Though I'm not sure how the events of it are suppose to fit in with the events of The End of Time as they seem to contradict each other. If Gallifrey is saved and the weapon isn't used, what happened to Skaro and the other planets and species that supposedly died?

    Yeah, I agree with that. However, I think the Timelord General did mention that the High Council's plans had 'already failed'. Perhaps this was after Rassilon has tried to use the Master and the events of End of Time? Not sure though.
    I remember that in Asylum of the Daleks, Skaro was shown to be still existent, just unpopulated and ruined by the war.
    I think some other planets were also damaged (e.g. the Gelth's homeworld, the Zygons', etc.) by the effects of the Time War...maybe not the actual Moment as a weapon? Again, not positive..
