Dr who?

[This Charming Manc]

Does the new doctor work for you?

 

[resurrected]

there's only one dr who

 

[Rusha]

Nope ... I don't care for him at all. I didn't begin viewing the show until Christopher Eccleston took over. However, David Tennant made me a fan.

After viewing the first episode with the newest Doc, I took the show off of my DVR.

I'm loving Peter Capaldi as the Doctor!

 

[This Charming Manc]

We agree on something ...

The writing is often shaky with Mr Moffat, but I thought last nights was excellent.

I'm cautious of instant hits but he looks like becoming my favorite doc

Was he your first exposure to the Doctor? Many fans say (and it has been my personal experience) that the first incarnation of the Doctor you are exposed to usually remains your most appreciated.

In my case it was the third Doctor played by John Pertwee who will always be the defining Doctor. Though your preferred Doctor ranks a close second.

Third Doctor

Here is where my Doctor dies having sacrificed himself and the Doctor's one time mentor shows up to give him a push so he could regenerate into your Doctor.

I always loved 'our Tom' as a kid, the other Dr's were never quite the Dr. That young lad from all creatures great and small was never really the Dr.

However as a grown up I don't have the association with one of new Dr;'s as much.

However as a grown up is this telly really for me?

 

[musterion]

This isn't the first time you haven't gotten one of my paltry little jokes. That's ok.

 

[This Charming Manc]

Yeah missed that one sorry ........

 

[Delmar]

Haven't been able to check him out yet. Won't be on neflix for a year or so. He does look more like the "old school Dr's, so I'm hopeful.

 

[This Charming Manc]

gravitas ... means they can write better stuff for him.

To me Pertwee personified the wisdom and (although sometimes hidden beneath a crust) the affection of a grandfather. To me Tom had a lot to live up to though he did it well, numbers 5,6,7 not so much.

You might like this, Anthony Ainley the fourth man to play the Master giving a rundown of the 7 doctors up to that time in his last appearance as the Master. I could see the Master evaluating the doctors like this and am happy with all his descriptions except for Tom.

I like him so far. Except for that ridiculous Robin Hood dumpster fire of an episode. But Capaldi is grumpy and old and Scottish. What's not to like?

 

[Lighthouse]

What about companions? Who's your favorite?

Of all the ones I have seen Zoe is mine. But I really like Clara and Amy, too. And we certainly cannot forget Sarah Jane.

 

[Rusha]

Rose, Donna and Clara (in this order)

No old school companions?

No old school companions?

No ... however, I never watched the show prior to Christopher Eccleston's Doctor Who.
