They need to bring him back as for a guest appearance. It would such an interesting reversal as when he was in it the doctor often branded him as the strongest person in the group and constantly called him "young man". Well if he came back now with Matt Smith it would be the complete opposite way around. It would just be so cool seeing him meet another doctor.

BRING HIM AND FORD IN A NEW EP

[RailwaySeriesKB]

he should come back for the 50th anniversary :D

[TsoLan1]

@LegoDaleks Shut up complaining about it then you ignorant fool

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks You are now blocked.

[LegoDaleks]

@TsoLan1 He wrote me 3 replies & I replied to his 3 posts, so how is that trolling or "bombarding him with pointless letters"?

FYI I don't watch Nu-hu.

[TsoLan1]

@LegoDaleks Wow, extreme trolling, taking up three posts to bombard the owner of this video with pointless letters....

You have made your opinions clear, but that will do. Your way foward is clear... Don't watch Nu Hu

[LegoDaleks]

@OttselSpy24 Casanova clearly pokes fun at 5's celery & makes fun of how he saved the universe "with a piece of string & a kettle" (he never even did). The 2nd & 3rd don't get along & the 2nd & 6th don't get along, but those are the more cantankerous ones. Casanova isn't that kind of Doctard. It was just Muppet making jabs at DW. He enjoys doing that. The 5th Doctor from the start is made to look like an idiot. He's a fish out of water on that ghastly set & he's wearing his hat indoors.

[LegoDaleks]

@OttselSpy24 The "We've moved on" is dissing every era that isn't Muppet's. There's no difference between Muppet's Nu-hu & ReTarD's Nu-hu except for obvious ones like the actors are different. I only noticed Matt Smith act differently in Beast Below, but in others like Eleventh Hour & Victory of the Daleks he's just the same as the northern Mitchell Brother & Casanova (the actor may try but the scripting is the same). In The Codger he acts completely differently, like a total freak.

[LegoDaleks]

@OttselSpy24 I don't repeatedly say that 1 aspect of production sucks. Btw if U want to see FX that suck check out Nu-hu where they use cheap amateurish, Americanised FX like making it too dark with either a green,red or blue light shining on the actors faces & fog machine & unconvincing cgi & the sets still wobble, except Nu-hu doesn't have the low-budget-excuse - bad production values

The muzak in Nu-hu is ill-fitting & isn't unique - it's like every commercial, every trailer, every video game

[TsoLan1]

@LegoDaleks Nu Hu is not crap. We'd all like to see you do better than the two brilliant (if somewhat different) producers we've had in Nu Hu. You are taking your opinion and making it out to be a fact, and that is trolling. If you don't like it don't fucking watch it. It dosen't help that you are also coming across as extremely rude. Keep your opinions to yourself and don't try to be a know it all.

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks You are trolling because you are posting the same thing without a resonable discussion. Imagine this:

"I hate old-who! The special effects suck!"

"Well, I has good plot..."

"I don't care! SE suck!"

"Well, actually I'd say that they were okay... In the later seasons they were pretty good actually."

"I don't care! The special effects sucked!"

That's the conversations you have on my pages, but with less logic and sense. You don't listen to anyone else, you just repeat...

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks That scene ion The Rebel Flesh did nothing more than quoting past Doctor's dialogue,. I don't understand how the Doctor saying "Reverse the Polarity..." is dissing? Infact, it only mocks Tennant fans. When 11 starts talking like 10, 11 says "No, we've moved on..." Now THAT'S cold! Having the Doctor quote 3rd and 4th's catch phrases is not.

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks In Timecrash, the Doctor's mocked each other, as they ALWAYS DO. Watch the Three Doctors again, Two and Three don't stop. It was worse then what 10 does to 5.. in fact, I'd say it's more the opposite. 5 calls 10 a "Skinny grinning idiot," and 10 makes a comment about 5's celery. oooh, ohh, his celery... We've already had this argument.

[LegoDaleks]

@OttselSpy24 How is he better than ReTarD? Because the magic wand is green instead of blue? The Teletubbie-Daleks? Explain to me how he is 1 of the better ones.

Timecrash clearly pokes fun at the 5th Dr's tenure. There's also a scene in series 6 where 11 "takes on his former personalities" making them sound like idiots, at least ReTarD never dissed DW like that.

In what way are my posts 'trollish'?

How come Whovians think criticism of Nu-hu totally unacceptable, but gladly scold DW all the time?

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks Look, I disagree with you. I think MOFFET is one of the better producers, and a great fan of the show, far better than RTD. The most "mocking" he has ever done of old who is his reference to temporal grace as a "clever lie," which frankly is very clever.

Now I don't do this a lot, but if you don't stop posting these trollish posts, I'll have to ban you.

[LegoDaleks]

@OttselSpy24 I think you've misunderstood me. I'm saying there's very little continuity in Nu-hu, so much of it contradicts itself as well as everything from the first 26 years of DW.

They did pretty well back in the day before DVD's & the internet & when they show was always changing hands, unlike today, it's just 1 man & his alter, identical ego.

[LegoDaleks]

@TsoLan1 Nu-hu deserves all the criticism I give it plus more. Muppet is in charge of the series so why does he make fun of all the previous eras that aren't his? They were all better than his "era". So him poking fun at it from his perspective (within the actual show) & me just pointing out how blatantly crap Nu-hu is, are two very different things, so I'm not being a 'HYPOCRITE!'.

[OttselSpy24]

@LegoDaleks Oh, hello LegoDaleks, i had wondered where you had went...

So, the three continuity eras of Doctor Who are the 2nd, 7th, and 11th Doctors. You may not realize it, but the Second Doctor's era had a lot of references to the first Doctor's, like mentioning the fluid link in one episode. The Seventh Doctor had even MORE of them, with references to the "Theta Sigma" line, and re-appearances of the Brigadier and such. I like to think the Eleventh Doctor does the same-Out of ch

[TsoLan1]

@LegoDaleks Don't fucking watch it then. Also don't be such a hypocrite. You moan about how RTD and SM poke fun at Dr Who and then you go and poke fun at the 11th Doctor, RTD and SM. HYPOCRITE!

[LegoDaleks]

@TsoLan1 I think that would be the very opposite of cool. The Dr was a wise ancient gentleman when Ian knew him, now the Dr's an immature, irrational, hormonal teenager who relies entirely on his magic wand or people's feelings & memories to solve his problems. If Ian returned to Nu-hu it would probably be worse than when Sarah Jane was in Nu-hu. ReTarD had a little more respect for DW than Muppet. Muppet pokes fun at it every chance he gets. Did you see what he did to 5? And 5 is his favourite

[LegoDaleks]

@borgduck Actually the original DW had very good continuity, it isn't realised until compared to the atrocious continuity is in Nu-hu. Not only does Nu-hu contradict everything in DW but it contradicts itself every 2 sec.s. E.g. in BeastBelow the Dr gives Amy a lecture about not interfering/changing history, so you'd think he'd be a more cautious Dr until Vincent & the Dr & by the end of the season "time can be re-written" is a catchphrase & 'The Codger' contradicts everything in Nu-hu & DW.

[OttselSpy24]

@borgduck And when did I bring up classic who? We were discussing SJA...

[OttselSpy24]

@borgduck Nor is it New Who's... David Tennant's "I never met Shakespeare" bit...

[borgduck]

@OttselSpy24 Continuity was never one of Classic Who's strengths.

[OttselSpy24]

@borgduck ...Yes, yes she did... It was also a rumor. She called it a rumor, it doesn't make sense, and it's a rumor.
