Welcome to Gaia! ::

What order do you watch them in? ..just wondering...
At least this year SciFi decided to show the Christmas episode first and then "Smith & Jones"

@Fantome: Yay!

I'm an American Doctor Who fan, like these good people:


But this question reminds me of one of the important things that separate America from it's British father, including us driving on the wrong side of the road, and our stupid not-Metric system. (Anyone care for a bushel? Furlong, perhaps?) America, in general, seems to have a morbid fascination with violence (horror films are almost an instant hit in this country, the gorier the better, apparently) and yet we're very hush-hush about sex, sexuality...well...that is, compared to our love for blood.

Now, I could be wrong, but from my perspective, Europe as a whole seems to be very sexuality-friendly, and more hush-hush about violence. I'd be hard-pressed to find even the smallest bits of blood in DW, but British euphemisms are crawling all over the place!

Anyway, long story short: If DW was American, there would be more blood, and less euphemisms. And less David Tennant. *tear*.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Jack would be not-omnisexual. That would be instant boo-ing.

I'm afraid not, Ceribri. You know what they say, "sex sells". It's an unfortunate truth, but perhaps that's how humans have always functioned. We seem to thrive on sex, blood, and drama.

I do have to admit, there are some seemingly random, sexual bits in Torchwood that make me raise my eyebrow. The perverted side of my brain thinks there's a reason why Jack is so attached to the Doctor's non-attached hand, other than just...friendship.

Ahem.

Excuse me as I bludgeon the idea out of my head.

Ok, first of. That was a wig Paul was wearing. I know that because I saw a clip of him back when and it was short. (he and his brother were filming their trip into the U.S.) They have a way of making long hair look real.

Secondly, that was suppose to be America getting their hands on Dr. Who. They were trying to take over the Dr. Who thing, however it didn't go over well with the American audience. Don't know why. In fact it was my first real introduction into Dr. Who. I didn't watch it back when PBS showed it.
Because of that the "American" Dr. Who television series never took off. To make things worst is the fact that the company had an 8 year contract ownership. Do the math. Yes. yes. At about the time the Brits got their hands BACK on the show is the time when the contract ended. And we now have Dr. Who back on the air. So, no more talk about an American Dr. Who. That's what happened last time.

Sex don't sell for me. I've watched the first episode of Bionic Woman. I still question as to WHY they has those two sex scenes that were completely unnecessary in carrying the story line.
"Yes I had them turn you into a robotic soider that can hear a conversation across a crowded room and everything, but I did it cause I love you and didn't want to lose you."
"Oh, ok, lets have sex then." eek

Same with me. I'd hate to imagine all the episodes American style. Doctor Who is just pure British. Sorry folks! But it dosen't mean it's only available for the British, Americans like it to, but it making the shows should be left to the current Director.

Hard-on's a curse word? xD

I think it would stink terribly, i can just imagine:
the doctor has a child with a earthling out of nowhere, and somehow the child has telekinesis,telepathy,and can teleport through time and space. The american k-9 is called k2000 and has super jump legs and can fly. The tardis can also turn shoot lazers,or should i say the "timebooth" as they rename it,would also have invisibility features. and finally,ancient civilizations say modern things, for example,they meet george washington and in the series he says "that kid is as fast as a ferrari"
