Kaymyth she/her Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The mention of bad science in movies compels me to post this! Now that I have that out of my system…. I freely admit to being one of the fans sucked in by NuWho, with very little knowledge of Classic Doctors. I've watched a few episodes with Two and Four, and I've read about the basic personalities of the other Doctors, and all the tropes they exhibited and/or pioneered, but I didn't even know Who existed until about three years ago, at which point I wondered why it had taken me that long to discover it. I was indoctrinated as a child, thanks to my dad. He'd always watch it on the local PBS stations. When I was little it scared me, so I didn't really get into it until right about the dawn of my teenaged years. Then I went through my dad's entire VHS tape collection one summer. They were just labeled "Doctor Who". No episode names, no Doctor identification, nothing - so I watched years of stories (the U.S. always broadcast each serialized story in one big blob) in random chunks completely out of order and labeled them as I went. Thus, NuWho has been like experiencing the rebirth of my childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Eight was amazing. We need more Eight. Anyways, we already sort of have something like this for folks in Utah Valley, but... I just really want to meet you all in person. There's something about discussing in person that the Internet can never replace. Edited June 8, 2015 by Slowswift 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Let's meet up in the exact center of the country. We can-- Wait. There's a few international Sharders. We have to meet in the middle of the world.... So...the Atlantic Ocean? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raised on Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee... I remember watching that atrocious movie when it came out and believing Doctor Who would never leave Syndication Hell. I was delighted by Christopher Eccleston's Doctor, and I was fine with David Tennant. Still don't get the deal with Matt Smith, but I've also grown apart from the series. Could it be that I long for the days of old? That I'm a hipster that ceased to enjoy the NuWho once it gained mainstream recognition? Perhaps the Shadow knows, but only if the answers to these questions involve evil dwelling in my heart...and if I'm a man... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Or we could video conference using drugged candles. I like this idea. We could all bring food drawn from our favorite memories. We'll be fine so long as everyone doesn't bring meatloaf. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 That's awesome, Slowswift. Who have you met from here, if any? And there are plans in the works for a ShardCon, supposedly. Perhaps I'll find that old thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Italian ftw! Who can say no to chicken parmesan? Also we should band together to make Shardcon a thing. We can have it on a gigantic cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic. Oh! Oh! Or we could hijack one of those oil rig platformy things (don't be ridiculous of course that's the technical term) for a weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestrel she/her Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Cool. How are we gonna get there tho? I could hijack a TARDIS. But real talk- my dad has an rv. I could borrow it when I'm out of school and we could go roadtripping. My friends and I are already planning it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I was thinking modern era. Trees, grass, light mists, calmer Snapping, Twinborn abilities......it would be awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't care if it's on Jupiter, I would go. I'd be in, so long as it isn't next year. I'm afraid that between CostumeCon and MidAmeriCon II (WorldCon 2016), I'm full up for major conventions. I only get so much vacation a year, and I ought to save some of that for going on a proper vacation with my husband. (He's not much of a con-goer. Too many people for him.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Screw that. ROAD TRIP! Okay, I agree, we need this. One, I want to meet you people in person, and two, I want to exploit your book collections and Cosmere theories for my own evil purposes. We're goin' to Mars, everybody.

Kestrel she/her Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Next year would be bad for me too. The band trip is huge, and then my dad wants to plan a trip to Alaska. The summer after senior year would be fantastic. We could totally all go somewhere. This needs to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
