TV & Film Doctor Who (Spoilers!)

[Renee1]

**** Moffat.

 

[Dave in MPLS]

I've never understood why folks dug the Weeping Angels in the first place. An interesting idea, but never really worked for me.

I'm starting Series Four for the first time. Judging from all the hate in this thread, should I just stop once 10 becomes 11...?

Give it a whirl. Prepare to disappointed, though. Vincent and the Doctor is the only one worth it post 10, imho.

 

[FortyTwo]

I'm still not looking forward to the transition... David Tennant is best Doctor.

 

[Dave in MPLS]

Matt Smith is a damn fine Doctor, though. Most of the issues people have with the last few seasons are more story or companion related.

I prefer Matt Smith.

Aaand now I probably need to duck and cover...

Yeah, I think most of my problems with 11 is that Moffat is just a really shitty writer.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

My problem with 11 is that he is not 10.




Also, Moffatt's shitty writing and horrible production. And The Ponds.

Yep.

I love love LOVE Sherlock, though. So he must just be really bad at science fiction.

Sherlock is amazing! No strong female characters, though. And the 90-minute episodes can fit more story in. Plus, it's on after the watershed so the stories don't have to be jammed into a "family-friendly" format. (Though some DW episodes have really pushed the line, IMO, in terms of violence.)

I must be the only guy in the universe that prefers 9 to any of the others. Eccleston brought a sort of nihilism and bastardry to the character that I really liked. I have to join with some of the others and say I didn't like Tennant at all. He was too much 'Oh Em Gee, Sad Emo' for me. While he was getting in touch with his feelings toward his companion, I wanted to get in touch with my vomit bucket

"Family Friendly" my ***. Doctor Who is the most disturbing show I've ever watched. It puts you through these crazy emotional sequences often covering huge amounts of time in what are often terribly sad, melancholy, and epic episodes.

That's probably what I like about it.

I thought 9 was okay. I like 10 best, but Eccleston was okay. Not the worst. I don't really like 11.

 

[Cerebellion]

I didn't like 11 at first. He has his moments, depending on who is writing him

 

[FortyTwo]

I'm also a bit biased because I think 10 is the cutest for some reason. Even though my mother thinks I'm crazy.

 

[Cerebellion]

I like Tennant as an actor. His portrayal of 'Hamlet' with Patrick Stewart was sublime. I simply didn't like his Doctor at all. Those seasons are the hardest for me to watch. Although, I've been having difficulty after Eccleston left keeping interest in the show. I was an old Tom Baker Whovian and I guess Baker will always be 'my doctor'.

 

[FortyTwo]

He was too much 'Oh Em Gee, Sad Emo' for me.

Maybe so, but it still broke my heart when he was telling Martha about Gallifrey.

Also, is it just me or is the show sometimes stupidly complex? Though everything is dumbed down pretty good in terms of science, I find myself reading every wiki page and still wondering how exactly the Time War worked.
