Not telling
With Doctor Who, it's more about the story than the science. It was orignally meant to be a children's show, but they do write for adults as well. Even moreso wth the current seasons.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If by "children's show", you mean "show that scares the pants off children while making them life-long fans of the show"...

Well, that's the result....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's not proper Doctor Who if the the single digit age crowd ain't hiding behind the sofa.

Our wings are not tired.
My Bobby (11) loved last night's show. He does love the scary though.
I've been enjoying the early years but I didn't get a children's show vibe at all. The balance of scary, goofy, and wierd science seems about the same ratio as the newer stuff. It's a mix I enjoy.

The british are wacky. They've classified it as a children's show since day one, and still do.
ETA; It's the mix that has made it worth watching for generations of adults around the world.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Gud: I spoke with Kathy A today. She doesn't have internet at home and she wanted me to let you know that her cable got hooked up early. She thanks you for the offer of the Dr. Who DVD, but she'll catch in on the teevee.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
That was fucking creepy. I knew this was a good ep, but I didn't know how creepy it was going to be. I have no idea if I'll be able to sleep without wierdo, creepy dreams. ( DH agrees. and he is further weirded out because I am swearing). Damn good, but just before bedtime ... not a good time to watch The Empty Child.

The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances were the definite highpoint of Series 1 for me.
Anyone else see S2 Ep4 yesterday? Spoilerfont: Strange episode, not really sure what I think. Will definitely have to rewatch. My reaction is probably affected by the news that I believe Sylvia Miles is currently dating David Tennant IRL. Oh, and the Doctor is Vulcan! Who knew?
On edit: funnily enough, both The Empty Child and S2 Ep 4 were written by Steven Moffat. So that explains the references and quotes they share .

Fiona, I saw the new season two ep. I thought it was just a jolly good romp, with some particularly nice Doctor character moments. Sophia Myles played a blinder too, I thought. Seems to me like they didn't want to do anything too exciting or too dangerous, because next week! Cybermen!
