Coming soon, on this very blog!
Jul. 29th, 2013 04:13 pmLately I've had this desire to re-watch New!Who. With the 50th Special coming up, it seems like the most appropriate time to do so. (Maybe re-watching the past seasons will help amp me up for the 50th. Because the more fuckery interviews and articles I read, the less enthused I am about the whole thing.)
Mostly, though, I've never watched the seasons back-to-back. I've talked about my first Doctor Who experience before; and from digging around Tumblr, I've had a bit of nostalgia for the RTD era. And I realized that I never watched the seasons in their proper order. When I saw my first snippet of Doctor Who, SciFi (yes, back then it was still SciFi and not SyFy) was airing Season 4. My first, complete Doctor Who episode was "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and watched the rest of the season onwards. (You can imagine my confusion during "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End". Who are these people? Oh, hey, Rose!)
At the same time, I think BBCAmerica was airing the third season (maybe Season 2?). . . it was one of the past seasons, and I caught an episode here and there. Then, I bought the Season 1 & 2 boxsets and watching those. Oh! Later that year, BBCAmerica aired the fourth season, so I caught up on that ("Partners in Crime" up to "The Unicorn and the Wasp"). Then I between the Ten Farewell Tour specials I caught up with the missed-third season episodes. (Jeez, was Season 5 the first one I watched in real time? Yikes. Maybe that's why I had such high hopes for Moffat's era.) Needless to say, bopping between seasons and episodes, my head is a tangled mess of character arcs, plots, and time travel.
I won't review each episode/season as detailed as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhoda_rants does in her reviews (I do have a WiP I should be working on); but I could probably throw up capsule reviews on each episode per season, leading up to the 50th. It would include: Seasons 1 - 6--Christmas Specials, too--and the Ten Farewell Tour Specials. (Hopefully by November, OnDemand will put up Season 7, as I don't--nor will I have--the season DVDs to make my re-watch of New!Who complete.)
So--*checks calendar*--I've got roughly 4 months to get this done. *gnaws nails*
