[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;26759444]Have we decided on the next thread title?[/QUOTE]
There are still over 1000 posts left in this thread yet.
We should all help write the next OP :v:
Indeed. What theme should we use?
Also, 'tis snowing outside! Ithaqua's boreal tentacles have wrapped around Great Britain, trapping it in it's icy embrace.
Use what I've got so far as a template, saves you a lot of work. Add what you want.

I'm considering a semi-rewrite, with information about the previous Doctors in there too.
Go for it, if we all take turns to edit it, then whoever is online at the time can just upload it.

I'm not such a huge fan of Doctor Who to the point i'll write fan fiction, but i'd give it a shot nonetheless.
Take the top 5-10 posters, cross off those that have already done an OP.
Remaining people make the V5 OP.
We're all doing it. As a teaaaaam.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;26778806]We're all doing it. As a teaaaaam.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but Carl has a point. I'd stick to the top contributors of the thread, say the top 8 or 10 but include everyone so we have a mix of your idea too Dan.
The OP will be me but will be co-authored by everyone in the thread.
Hurray. I'm loved.
just to clarify for the OP draft, as we know that the daleks are a nazi analogue, are the cybermen communist analogues?
ah fuck it I'll just post what I have so far:
[release][b][u]What is Doctor Who?[/u][/b]
Back in 1963 BBC commissioned one of the first GOOD sci-fi television series in history. It was about a time travelling alien called The Doctor who doesn't really get on with his people (The Time Lords) so instead chooses to show humans the wonders of the universe thanks to his time travelling device called The TARDIS. A box that is bigger on the inside than the outside. An interesting fact about The Doctor is when he comes close to death he can regenerate every cell in his body and cheat death. This means he has a new face, new personality and new actor. This was done for 7 actors before the show was cancelled in 1989.
After a poor TV movie in 1996 the show returned with a bang in 2005. You can start from here and not miss much, but that's not to say the older episodes aren't worth a look either. Bear in mind that many of the earlier episodes have been lost because of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes]BBC's[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiping]short-sightedness[/url], something Who-fans will never forgive them for.
2005 saw Christopher Eccleston (28 Days Later, GI Joe) play The Doctor, he left the same year and David Tennant took over. After becoming considered by many as "The Best Doctor" he left in 2010 after 5 years.
Now Matt Smith plays the timelord. If you want you could start from Series 5 (2010 series) and get the idea of the show pretty quick. Oh. First, a few things you must know:[/release]
[release][b][u]Stuff you should know before watching (assuming you start from 2005):[/u][/b]
[list]
[*]The show is about an alien called the Doctor
[*]He is from the planet Gallifrey, home of the Timelords
[*]When fatally injured, he can "regenerate" into a new body, with a new personality and mannerisms. However he retains his memories and his core values, such as anti-violence and eccentricity. In terms of production, this means that the actor playing the Doctor can quit while leaving the show to continue, and it allows each actor to bring something new to the way they play their incarnation.
[*]He travels through time and space in a vehicle called the "TARDIS", which stands for "Time And Relative Dimensions In Space". On the outside, it appears to be a [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Earls_Court_Police_Box.jpg]lowly police box[/url], but this is merely a cunning disguise, as inside it houses things like a vast control room, library and (allegedly) a swimming pool.
[*]The TARDIS can go anywhere and anywhen, but there are complex rules dictating the extent to which the Doctor can interfere with his own timeline, which can be loosely summed up as "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey"
[*]Sometime between the Eighth and Ninth Doctors, there was a "Time War" between the Timelords and the Doctor's greatest enemy, the Daleks. The Doctor was the sole survivor of the Timelords, and a few Daleks survived too. The Doctor's guilt over his race's death is a key characteristic of his Ninth incarnation.
[*]The Doctor frequently travels with various companions from all of time and space. They are frequently used to answer questions about the situations they find themselves in for the audience.

[b]The Doctor[/b]

A 900 year old Time Lord who has saved the universe way too many times. Over the years The Doctor has been put through a lot of heartbreak but he hides it well. He has watched his friends die, his family and his people. It seems he is finally starting to get over it a little bit. His latest body is the youngest he has ever looked. He has a reckless and spontaneous personality. He fires words before thoughts and like most of his previous selves, he is anti-violence. This Doctor has a new TARDIS and companion. Unlike his previous incarnations, this Doctor has a soft spot for children. The universe could be falling apart but if you make a child cry, The Doctor will rip you into pieces. He’s a bit weird and a bit alien. But he is a master of speeches. If you get on the wrong side of The Doctor, hell is going to fall from the sky, and you better run.
[b]Amy Pond[/b]

The Doctor crashed into Amy’s life when she was seven. Literally. He came back when Amy was a young woman, and he showed her the universe. Amy Pond is a little girl living out her dream fairy tale. Her parents mysteriously disappeared when she was young ...
[b]Rory Williams[/b]
[img_thumb]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100524110152/tardis/images/e/eb/Rory.png[/img_thumb]
Amy's love interest ([sp]and as of the end of Series 5, her husband[/sp]), he is initially slightly beta and jealous of the Doctor, but through Series 5 we see him develop into a sword-wielding laser-shooting badass.
[b]River Song[/b]

An enigma. Neither we nor the Doctor know much about her as of yet, because due to time travel she and the Doctor keep meeting each other in the wrong order. She is superficially friendly but it is implied that she holds dark secrets about the Doctor's future. May be the Doctor's future wife.

[b]The Daleks[/b]
[img_thumb]http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/2/26/Dalek67.jpg[/img_thumb]
The iconic Doctor Who villain. They are mutated creatures housed inside an almost impenetrable tank-like casing. They speak in instantly-recognisable sharp, synthesised voices. Originally conceived as an alien analogue to the Nazis, they are the Doctor's most feared enemies. They are the ultimate ethnic cleansers that seek to exterminate all life that is different to them.
[b]The Cybermen[/b]

For halloween I did a excellent prank involving doctor who.
I got my dustbin upside down, filled it with water and alta seltzer tablets to make it look like a dead Dalek and then attached crocodile clips to my testicles and shouted "EXTERMINATE" over and over again for the whole night.
Best Doctor prank I ever did.
Yes, lets spend the next 20 pages posting the OP for the next thread

Got in an argument with my crush at a party about who was the best Doctor, I can't remember what happened as I got wasted but I think I lost.

Doctor Who V5 - Dan is COOL DAMMIT
Cybermen are analogies for the extremity of japanese society upon women.
Either that or another nazi analogy.
Perhaps we should wait, and use a really good quote from the Christmas Special as the new title?
Good idea.
[QUOTE=Smartguy5000;26784802]Perhaps we should wait, and use a really good quote from the Christmas Special as the new title?[/QUOTE]
Yeah or we could take one from the trailer.
"Doctor Who V5 - I'm the ghost of christmas past"
or on a more serious note: "Doctor Who V5 - Comrade-free zone"
