First few times I tried to watch from the start (of the reboot, anyway) - that second episode about the end of the world with the skin lady was just so... cheese. Unbearable XD About to start the Dalek episode now |
I like the Dalek episode a lot. It's eerie in a way they don't quite manage to do in Eleven's series.
Plus, it's got one of the most beautiful soundtracks: Spoiler:

Dance puppet dance! Only two weeks till the next doctor, I'm so giddy. |

He's going mad either way, if the previews are anything to go by. I really think the best thing about this season is the fact that he's going past acceptance for the time war, considering how Gallifrey is now saved. But the question of "What Now" will haunt him, which is still cool. "What Now" plots are my favorite, when the character aimlessly tries to find out what to do with their selves.
|
What'd he do in the old series? I'm new at this so I know little of it, but I thought the Time War was an Eighth (and War, I guess) Doctor thing

For example, did you know he had part in wiping out the dinosaurs and possibly even making humans appear on Earth. Dat Doctor. |
The time war is a strictly new series concept, that has been hanging over the series' head since day one. Now that its covered, they can literally do anything they want with the doctor, the way he treats certain situations, and give us overarching plots that don't tie in with his personality.

I liked how RTD's era always had some Time War angst. Not sure I like at all how they suddenly retconned it. Because I refuse to believe that they planned to bring Gallifrey all the way from series 1 of new who :/ then again... By making Gallifrey exist, they can finally bring the show back to its roots a bit more.
|
Nah, time war angst got old by the time series 4 came out. I don't consider it a retcon as much as a restructuring of the series, as I personally think that in the end they regretted the move. I think in the beginning they wanted to stay more rooted to Earth, but then quickly shifted to its more alien roots.

For those of you keeping up with my Who escapades, I've just started the tenth Doctor run. Liking it so far

Favorite Doctor: Five/Peter Davison, he was my first Doctor- I'll explain why after this sign up form. Favorite Companion: I don't really have a favourite but I like Rory, I mean he got a red Jaguar E-Type which is my favourite car! But in all seriousness I like Rory because he has some really funny moments and he is a badass. My relationship with Doctor Who started off as a rocky one, all I can remember is I saw a Doctor Who documentary when I was about 5 (So in about 2000/2001) which absolutely terrified me for some reason and all the way until the end of 2005 I feared anything Doctor Who related until the day I went round a friend's house during the Christmas holidays. So when I was there we started watching a fifth doctor episode- can't remember which one though :/. I really enjoyed it, without knowing it was a program I had feared for 4/5 years until the opening sequence for the second episode came on. I can't really remember much else from that except that I really liked the fifth doctor, and I ended up watching the 2005 Christmas Special because Doctor Who wasn't as scary I had thought. Let's just say I spent quite a bit of my Christmas money on video tapes of the fifth doctor's stories... :P Even now, at the age of 18 I will go for my fifth doctor DVDs over any other doctors, but I still enjoy watching the newer stuff. (Currently Eleven/Matt is my favourite new 'Who Doctor but I have a feeling Capaldi is going to change that) I am really looking forward to this series, I am continuing my tradition of watching new episodes with my boyfriend and a Chinese takeaway and am now saving up to take the both of us to Cardiff to go to the Doctor Who Experience- I went when it was in London- since he has been buying me quite a few Doctor Who DVDs recently. |
Welcome to the club, ye timorous beastie!
I like the fifth Doctor too :) Still haven't had time to watch all his episodes, but I will get around to it. I actually liked when they were four in the TARDIS, with the Doctor, Adric, Tegan and Nyssa. They could have made better use of the characters and weaved them into the stories rather than whiff away some character for each episodes. Such as Nyssa having a headache once and Tegan getting left on Heathrow (though they did a great job incorporating her cousin when she got back!). Basically, if the fifth Doctor's stories had been made with today's technology and standards of acting, they would have been amazing. Just think of how epic and heart-tugging Earthshock could have been!! I mean, more than it already is. In other news, spoiler for Clara and Danny Pink in S8: Spoiler:
I'm sort of hoping that this new Doctor will get a male companion eventually, sort of like Turlough :D been so many young girls defining the series. Donna was the only real fresh breeze among them, honestly. |
Favorite Doctor: 11. I loved how Matt Smith portrayed Ethernet doctor as a young face with an ancient, troubled heart.
Favorite Companion: Martha. She seemed like a change of pace in the new series. My journey through time and space started in college. My roommate and I binge watched series one Anne 2, then most of Classic Who. Been hooked since. Can't wait for Saturday. |

Favorite Doctor: It's kind of a tie between the 9th, 10th, and 11th. I haven't really seen the older series, so I don't know about the classic doctors. But there are qualities in each of the newer doctors that I love. Favourite Companion: Definitely Rory Williams. Who's excited about the new episodes? Just a bit over a day to go! |
Oh god, today's the day. Not gonna be able to see it tonight, but tomorrow is definitely going to be a great day. Nothing like a new doctor(and at an hour and a half no less) to set off the winter.

Welcome to the club, Dex and Evanlyn!
I'm hyper excited! Can't see it tonight but will try to somehow find it tomorrow. I don't think it's on television here in my country. |
I've just started the 6th season in the main series. With this progression, my order of preference of Doctors has somewhat changed by including Matt Smith. I still love David Tennant, but him and Mr. Bowties-are-cool are almost side by side in terms of which one I like better. It's so hard to choose! The feeling of the two Doctors fighting for first place is so...argh! D:
So far, I'm really, really enjoying the series. There have been some episodes that really tugged at my heartstrings and made me use up tissue after tissue, some that made me cower behind my hands in eager fear, while there are some that made me think quite deeply about things and changed how I viewed certain aspects of life. Continuing bravely on like the proud Whovian I am! <3 Edit: I also forgot to add that Donna Noble has replaced Rose as my favourite companion. Amy Pond and Rory are great as well, but Donna cannot be beat. She and David Tennant make the most perfect team. <3 OI! Space man! |
^See, when you catch up to current Who, you can start with the classics.
Glad I got in here before the spoilers did. I plan to record it on DVR tonight since I work. Of course that means I'm going to have the living snot spoiler'd out of me by the time I get to see it. I'm hopeful for a darker Doctor. Hopefully, Clara will be gone soon, can't quite stand her. I haven't been a fan of the companions lately. Rory I liked, and Amy a little, but they felt cheesy in the end. And Clara is a cardboard cut out, I swear. Give us an interesting companion again! Give us a Donna, a Rose, an Ace or a Sara Jane. Hell give us Adric, I'll survive him for a few more seasons. Ugh. Looking up. If I like the new season I might bring back my Doctor Who theme on my profile and stuffs. Also... things to note. Spoiler:

I've been meaning to join this club for months now. But I didn't want to because I didn't have the knowledge enough to become part of it. But now that I finished 9 and 10 (and only watched parts of 11), I'm really excited for the premiere of 12. Peter Capaldi is perfect for that role, and I look forward to how this new series will turn out. I know it'll be great.
I'm planning to watch Classic Who when I get around to it. I'm glad it's on Netflix! I'm actually pretty stoked for tonight's premiere, but I also have a NASCAR race to watch tonight, but hey, I gotta prioritize my Whovianness lmao. xD PokéCommunity Username: Cadance Favorite Doctor: it's...a tie between 10 and 11. But I'm more of a fan of David Tennant <3 Favorite Companion: Donna Noble! I loved every episode featuring her. <3 |
