Who here's a Whovian?

Have any of you watched the spinoffs? I am completely obsessed with Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Also, five days until the Christmas special

The chemistry with capaldi and kingston is just unreal, there's no way they can avoid including river song in a much larger role next season. With that said I actually liked the christmas special

I haven't watched it yet, so no spoilers, please!

With my prosopagnosia, I can't tell doctors 9, 10, and 11 apart.

^What does that mean?

I'm a casual fan of the show. I haven't found the time to watch the original episodes, and I have missed a few of the new ones, but I still like to watch it sometimes.

I thought that "Heaven Sent," which has only the Doctor as the main character, was a very good episode. I liked how it focused on him trying to find his way around the place, and then it turns out to be some sort of repeating sequence.

Assuming you mean prosopagnosia, it refers to a problem in identifying faces. The problem appears to be with the right fusiform gyrus in the brain.

Cases of acquired prosopagnosia are due to disease such as Alzheimer's or to injury such as a car accident. Often, such cases are quite profound.

Those of us with congenital prosopagnosia or developmental prosopagnosia have had a problem since birth. The problem is often, but not always, as bad as acquired prosopagnosia.

In my case, I primarily identify people by the situation and by voice. Other things that can help is hair color or style, clothes, and body type.

For example, when someone I work with is at the office I can recognize them but I might not recognize them if I met them in a store in a neighboring town. On one occasion after my younger brother got a haircut when I was 20, I asked him if he had seen my younger brother. One reason why I tend to let my hair grow out and be fairly wild is so that I recognize myself in a mirror. One of my nephews has three kids -- two boys and a girl. I can't tell the boys apart unless they are standing next to each other and I see which is taller. I can't really tell the girl apart from other girls her age with dark hair.

It helps to live in a small town. I just assume that I know everyone and so I talk to them like I see them all the time. Sometimes I watch for signs of recognition.

On New Years Eve I went over to the local Dairy Queen for supper. I'm pretty sure that I knew everyone who was in there when I arrived, but the only one there who I recognized was the woman at the counter who I expected to be there. I talked to several people there who called me by name without me being able to identify them at all. When I was about to leave, three older people walked in who I assume I didn't know because they gave no sign of recognition. I still said howdy to them just in case.

I usually don't think much of spinoffs but Torchwood was amazing, I liked it more than Doctor Who.
Oh, on account of your avatar, Ianto Jones and Jack Harkness are by far two of my favourite tv/movie characters of all time.

Thank you for the avatar compliment I pretty much love Doctor Who and Torchwood equally, but pretty much everybody I know likes Doctor Who much more. I just got my friend to start watching Torchwood and she is loving it.

They took Doctor Who off of Netflix though and I am really upset

^I am too. Who isn't?
So who do you guys think the next companion might be? *curious*

Hello Sweetie

That would be me then.

Favourite Doctor: 10, with 12 coming a very close second

I'm also a cosplayer, and my outfits include 5th, 10th, 12th, Romana II, River Song, Missy, Clara and Lucy Saxon.

Any other cosplayers here?

^ME! I have a River Song outfit and an ultimate Doctor costume [along with a Clara shirt, and a Tifa Lockheart outfit, and potentially an Advent Children Cloud outfit].
I like 4, 10, 11, and 12 best.

Which one of River's outfits do you own?

I am working on The Husbands of River Song outfits.
I have Day of the Moon, Pandorica Opens, Let's Kill Hitler, Wedding of River Song, and 'hell in high heels' ones so far

[ I could never cosplay Tifa, I don't have the assets - but I have Kadaj's and Sephiroth's outfits - including weaponry Twin bladed Souba sword weighs a ton]

I actually have a mishmash of her outfits: a shirt like this dress: and an outfit like this:

I made my Tifa costume homemade.
I plan to make the Fusion Sword out of cardboard.

The Day of the moon All Saints Zeeda dress you can pick up on ebay for around £50, however the belt is much harder to find. Took me two years.

*Notes post from Torchwood fan above* I'm planning a Ianto Jones cosplay when I find the right wig.

^Blimey. That's...kind of expensive. [At least for me.]

So since your location is Midgar, does that mean you're near me? [Here I go again, making silly FF references...]
