So, I just finished watching this series on netflix.

Wow.

While I still have it fresh in my head, who wants to have a very complicated yet interesting conversation about it?

I'm almost done with Season 6 and it's pretty good.

I liked Tennant more than Smith, although, Smith was pretty close with the bow-tie and fez...

I like my Doctor to be quirky, so Tom Baker and Matt Smith are my favorites. Tennant was great but just a bit too cool. And I Eccleston didn't stick around long enough. I don't like turnover to be too fast (another reason why Baker is awesome).

As for the series, I'm caught up to present, and excited about seeing the direction things will go with a new companion starting at Christmas. However, I'm pretty frustrated at BBC for being so inconsistent with their seasons. Some years it was fall/spring, then it was spring/fall, then nothing last spring, then just a few episodes this fall before a long break. It tries my patience.

Tennant is the best doctor. That is all.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:29:55 PM »

I used to like Tennant. He was my first doctor (I think? I might have watched an episode or two of some other doctor in there, but Tennant was my first doctor after I started following the series carefully) and was one of my favorite. But the more I watched the older stuff then Smith, the more I realized that Tennant was an awful doctor and just went running around and shouting instead of being interesting. So I've come to really dislike Tennant. And I've never really liked Eccleston.

I haven't watched the newest season and I don't really plan to follow the series again unless Moffat is replaced. Moffat was awesome when he wrote The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, etc, but the only good episode he's written since then is A Good Man Goes to War (and, for the record, the Rory-Sontauren scene was the only exceptional part of that episode.) I know I said this multiple times, but I'm still mad at Moffat for what happened the season before this last one. The dues ex machina (LITERALLY!!!! THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY), River not killing Rory, killing Rory 40 times, the terrible pun to end the season.... I could go on.

Which is really disappointing, because Closing Time was a great episode and The Doctor's Wife is the best episode since The Curse of Fenric. Or Battlefield. Whichever was released later. I think it's the Curse of Fenric but I'm too lazy to check.

Seconded. He's my favorite Doctor.

I, having never seen the Harry Potter movies, was really disappointed when I found out that David Tennant played a bad guy in "Goblet of Fire."

At any rate, I liked the new episodes we got this fall. I thought I was gonna cry like a baby at the end of "Angels Take Manhattan," but I didn't. My eyes simply welled up and that was it. I have only ever really watched the new show that started in 2005, but I'm interested in checking out episodes with the 4th and 5th Doctor. Can anyone recommend any episodes with them in it?

5th Doctor? THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI
4th Doctor - Genesis of the Daleks I guess. The Talons of Weng-Chiang is often highly rated too, but it isn't that great.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:47:14 PM »

I've grown to like Smith over Tennant. I recently rewatched the series, and Eccleston moved up a bit in my book, but Tennant stayed the same. Smith is always growing. Prof makes a good point--Tennant was a bit too cool.

I haven't watched enough Baker to judge him. I did like McCoy in The Curse of Fenric (best episode ever).

I'm really not sure why Caves of Androzani gets so much attention. It's not even close to being on the top of my list, and the fifth doctor was lame.

Deus Ex Machina>Flesh. Just saying. If it was the flesh I would have given up on Doctor Who altogether. Of course, I haven't watched it since then...

Thanks, Rawrlolsauce! I need to watch these!

The first doctor was William Hartnell.

I'm still mad David Tennant didn't light the torch at the London Olympics.

Well the new companion has arrived...

I haven't seen any of the older series, so my comments are only from the 2005-present series. I started with Eccleston and Piper (I know some people think she stinks in Season 1 but I liked her). Tennant followed and is where I currently am (with Donna as the companion). I've skipped some episodes, mostly watching the ones that are the big, lore-important ones. I like Tennant more than Eccleston, but I think Eccleston could have been great, too, if he'd had more time. I've seen snippets of Matt Smith episodes and I'm not sure what I think of him. However, I choose to reserve judgment until I've watched the rest of Tennant's important episodes and seen Smith episodes for myself.

I have also never seen any of the older DR. who shows, I am on season 3 of the 2005-newer stuff.
Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to think as quickly as the DR. can!!!

Just pointing out that I've followed through with this

. That may seem pretty easy considering that post isn't very old, but my dorm floor is engineering students only, so it was pretty hard to avoid Dr Who.

and died.

1. Was anyone else confused a bit by the Christmas special?
2. Why was the Doctor hanging out on Earth if He didn't want to help anymore?
3. Why did Clara follow him immediately upon meeting him?
4. What was the significance of the key that he kept putting in her hand?
5. How did he "know" that she would live?
6. How did the intelligence switch from mirroring Dr. Simian to the family crying?
7. How can Clara/Oswin be in so many different times and places?

Overall, I really like Oswin. I'm feeling sure Smith's time is drawing to a close though, and that's sad, because he's really grown on me. Benedict Cumberbatch for 12th? Probably not. I think this season is the best so far, but it may just be because I haven't watched Who in quite a while.

2. Probably because it reminded him of Amy and Rory, and he was still grieving.

I also like Oswin, and am excited to see what direction she pulls the Doctor. I disagree about Smith's time drawing to a close. I think having this new companion is going to rejuvenate his character, and expect he'll stick around for quite a while longer.
