Doctor Who

Hmmm. I am a fan. I did not like the new season at all but I like the series overall.

I myself have never seen it, but I'll admit...I have a natural bias against it solely because a couple of people I know were sooooo obsessed with Dr. Who, that a friend and I felt out of place and even excluded, because we were not fans. 
It was honest to god 75% of all their conversation! I'm not a TV show, movie, music, anything could occupy so much of my brain

Have to say, I couldn't stand the earlier (1970s/1990s) series; only got interested once Eccleston took over. David Tennant for me is the best of the current batch, but Matt Smith isn't doing too bad.

Just don't get me started on the execrable 'Torchwood' spinoff.

I love Doctor Who -- have for as long as I can remember. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure. It's the only show still going that I try not to miss.  My favourite Doctor was played by Jon Pertwee, but then he was also my first.  Tom  Baker was also very good. My favourite companion was Sarah Jane Smith who crossed over from latter Pertwee serials to Tom Baker ones.  I quite disliked Donna Noble's character

I do hope that the new season (series) has some more interesting and fantastical stories since I also don't think the writing has been that strong of late.  It's never been a very consistent show for me, but I still never like to miss it -- at least not since the 80s when I lost interest in it.

I like Matt Smith's character, but would like to see a new Doctor ere very long -- perhaps a Doctor Smeghead, Craig Charles from Red Dwarf. :)

The fact you say "every forum needs a Doctor Who thread" and how you have converted 21 people...well it is honestly just feeding my own fire...I know think even more that this show is actually a cult

Besides the fact crazy Dr Who fans wrecked my group of friends almost, aren't there like 40 seasons of this thing?
I'll be dead by then!
Which is what you want I think!
I'm onto you occultist!

I'm about midway through Tennant's 1st or 2nd season (can't remember which, it's been a while since I watched)... One of these days I'll get around to catching up to the present. 

I watch, but I'm too young to have the original seasons.

Gallifrey wrote: In terms of writing, the latest two series don't compare at all to 1-4 with Eccelston and Tennant. I can't think of one episode from Matt Smith's era that tops Silence In The Library or Blink or The Sound Of Drums or even the End Of Time. Writing has declined. But I still have hope. Moffat's a terrific writer most of the time, he just hasn't been on writing form recently

 

During RTD's era, Moffat's four were the best, along with Human Nature and The Sound Of Drums.
