juannyG Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Who's your favorite Dr. Who? Open to all Doctors...doesn't just have to be from the reboot in the past 5 years (Although, I think the newest Doctors have been pretty strong - thank goodness!)

exo-apollo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hard to say as I've only watched the recent ones, but out of those three Tennant. Smith isn't doing too bad, Amy Pond is well fit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13ip0lar Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Can I first off state I'm a die-hard Sci-fi fan, but have as of yet not seen Dr.Who; be it the original or the new BBC one. From what I seen of the old one, it seemed like the Twilight Zone/Outer Limits, with mix of an overlaying plot. It just seemed the episodes I did see of it (the old one) he was in a different dimension, world, reality, or whatever, in every episode. So naturally I found it hard to follow just jumping in the middle of it. That said does anyone strongly recommend I go watch the new one now? I mean can anyone give me an idea of what the series is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdubb Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I only started watching the 2005 season a couple of weeks ago...must say that I didn't like the first few episodes, but now (I am about half-way in), I am finding that it is becoming better (characters bit more developed, episodes more interesting, more background on the Doctor). It still has some of the cheesy-ish aspects to it (i.e. the double episode about Aliens in London -- the aliens looked like from a few decades ago :-) ), but that added to the feel and the Brit humour...all in all, I will finish the season and give the next one a try. From what I've heard Eccleston and Piper do make a good team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPF_Raiden Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Christopher Eccleston was my favorite, he was much more serious that Tennant and Smith, for which I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to try the new series, either start with the Eccleston season 1, or you might try starting with Matt Smith's debut in season 5. I wouldn't recommend trying to pick up the series with the current episodes, since they're in a pretty complicated plot with threads going back throughout Smith's run in the role. But I would recommend that you give this show a try. It is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoRty9 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I really like all three of them. I think Chris would have got more recognition if he had done another season or two, David was just Immense and Matt has done a fantastic job so far, not forgetting he had to live up to the high expectations David left after 3 series with the show, and now whenever someone mentions Doctor Who they know Matt is the Doctor, rather than living in the shadow of David.

John325 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Of what I've seen, Tennant. The only others I've seen are the first one and Eccleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ll0g Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 David Tennant is the best, Matts doing a great job but he'll never be in the league of David Tennant, ive only watched the latest 3 doctors though, I never liked the old series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erunion Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 For Classic, I've only seen one story, and that was one of Tom Baker's. The man has a fantastic "I have a wonderful idea" grin. But I've seen all of the rebirth, and so I'll vote for Tennant. For now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxBlueSpade2xX Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've always wanted to get into Dr. Who. I have no idea where to start, the franchise is incredibly vast. I've read a lot of Dr. Who comics, really liked them. And, I've heard the recent episodes have nothing on the classic Who series'. I wish I could find a massive box set...

AstralNomad Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Used to be Tom Baker. Currently it's David Tennant. Matt Smith might actually beat out David tho. Watching him and River Song together is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isanox Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm a HUGE dr. who fan going back to the days when I would tape (VHS on a top down loader) it every weekend when it was on PBS Favorite Doctor #3 Jon Pertwee - Ah the good old day of U.N.I.T. and stunts by HAVOK I do have to say the David Tennant is a very close #2. The biggest problem I have is the rapid, highly accented English he speaks. It can make it difficult to understand. And third best would have to be Tom Baker. The worst.... Patrick Troughton (Doctor #2) As for the best companions: #1 Martha Jones #2 Sarah Jane Smith #3 Romanadvoratrelundar II (Lalla ward) Worst #1 - Catherine Tate #2 - Adric (from Doctors 4&5) #3 - Tegan (Doctor 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They "reboot" the series starting with Doctor #9 Chris Eccleston. The first episode "Rose" really sets the tone for his series. If you are going to start new, that would be a good place to start. They started to bring some elements back but in different forms (The midget sontarans, rainbow Daleks, tellytubby master) just to name a few. It the Original Series there are 159 Stories, that range from 2 to 12. Each one about 25 minutes. With the addition of the relaunch it is now over 200 stories. Tom Baker's first season is basically one long arc and is considered the best of the classic series. It also contains the big three villains. If you don't like that, then don't bother to watch the older stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTGMx INF3RNO Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Matt Smith....I thought it was impossible to beat David Tennant but he does!! I always said tennant would never be beaten. and was so sad when he went and he went in style was so good his last episodes. BUT smith has beaten him i think its because russel t daviess was shit at writing and the new cast/story is fantasic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericfnbaker Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I just have to say that I will never watch this show....not because I doubt it's a good show, but I used to work with a girl who was OBSESSED with this show and she drove me absolutely batshit crazy.

Kboat05 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have to start by saying I'm SO excited about this thread! (as you will notice by the length of this post). Next, I will say... *SPOILERS* ;-) I struggle between Tennant and Smith (I only started with the new seasons). I know it's not Eccelson, though he wasn't BAD. Not only are they different actors, but Eleven is so different from Ten. Eleven has been through so much more (clearly... I mean, he's older). I find it hard to compare them, really. I think a lot of it comes down to the companions and how they shape and compliment the Doctor... Rose was great. She and the Doctor really brought out the best in each other. She really subdued the Doctor's anger when he needed someone to. Poor Martha Jones had to deal with a grieving Doctor, who was oblivious to her feelings... I think he taught her what she's really worth and she showed him more about humanity. I think Donna was very tragic. Poor Donna, who was 'just a temp' became so strong... So much better. Then, not only did she have to return to her normal life, but she wasn't allowed to remember everything she saw and became when she was with the Doctor. We then got a brand new companion at the same time as a new Doctor. I love Amy. I'll admit that I started watching the show because I saw the promo pictures with Karen Gillan and was like omg, she's gorgeous... I must watch this show! Amy intrigued the Doctor and he couldn't help but take her along, selfishly. Eleven is a little more selfish than Ten that way, but I still love him. When it comes down to it, he's still The Doctor, no matter what face he takes. A lot of it also comes down to the writing. I'm not sure how I want to end this, so I will just say that I love Ten, but I will most definitely be sad to see Eleven go, when he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
