Right, haven't actually posted in this thread before.
When did you first hear about Doctor Who?It was definitely through Narniaweb. I can't remember if Dr. Ransom or JillPole was to blame though.
What was the first episode that you watched?Good question. It might have actually been THE first episode with William Hartnell. I found the first four episodes on Youtube. But that was right around the time I also found "Blink" and "Rose" on Youtube as well before they were taken down. The only one that impressed me was "Blink." As a matter of fact, it captivated me and Doctor Who sort of stayed in my subconsciousness for several years before I finally found the first five seasons on Netflix this winter.
Classic Who fan or NuWho fan?NuWho. I'm afraid to say that I like shiny things too much to be a fan of the old series. I might give the Tom Baker era a chance at some point if I can keep an open mind about how low of a budget they had to work with.
Who is your favorite Doctor?David Tennant wins slightly over Matt Smith. I think David is just such an instantly likable person, and he brings that to the role. They both have wonderful quirky Doctors with a lot of depth, wisdom, and even brutality behind the exterior. However, I think the universe would actually be in better hands with Matt's Doctor. He's much less likely to be emotional and spread radiation around the universe for two weeks will he says goodbye to random companions. In the end David wins because he was in a larger majority of my favorite episodes.
Who is your favorite Companion?Amy and Rory!
I love having a married couple on board the TARDIS. It gives a nice dynamic instead of just having a young lady who's really easy on the eyes infatuated with the Doctor. Go Rory the Roman!
Donna gets honorable mention because I loved her platonic relationship with Doctor the Tenth. She had the most ridiculous guilty pleasure scenes that I still laugh at on YouTube of anyone. ("Lop a bit off, grow another one. You're like worms.")
Who is your favorite Villain?Hard. I think The Master got the best interactions with the Doctor. While
I loathed most of "The End of Time" I did love the chilling scene where the Doctor discovers he can hear the drums as well. And I loved the Tenth's ultimatum to come along in the TARDIS. Oh, and the Master has THE BEST buildup of any villain in Utopia. I think I might have jumped up and down and screamed when he opened the watch.However, the Weeping Angles are what made me fall in love with Doctor Who. They are so chilling and masterfully written. Who ISN'T afraid of something that only moves behind their backs? Of course, then Steven Moffet had to go ruin his own monsters in "The Time of Angels."
What is your favorite episode?Again "Blink" got me hooked. Loved everything about it from Sally Sparrow, to the supporting role the Doctor took which led to the epic TV conversion between the two. The time travelling aspect was used superbly and the Weeping Angles are just terrifying. I jumped and startled more in one episode than I did for the two previous series.
That being said I actually think "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" wins out. I loved the character of River, and
I loved the the idea that she and the Doctor kept meeting in the wrong order. It's heart wrenching that the first time he meets her is when she dies. The Vashta Nerada were pretty creepy especially considering all you ever see are shadows the skeletons of the dead people they leave behind. The Data Ghosts are intriguing, the supporting cast was great. I really liked Donna's arch and I think my heart dropped into my stomach when the man she was "married" to sees her but can't speak because of his stutter and she walks away thinking he never existed. But my favorite scene was definitely the one where Ten saves River. "Everybody knows everybody dies, and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I think all the stars of all the worlds might just go dark if he ever once... accepted."The episode has lost some of it's staying power now that we know who River is, but I still loved it. It was another episode I screamed at in glee and convinced my sister and brother-in-law I was out of my mind.
How excited are you for Series 7?Surprisingly, I'm not very excited. The first four series of the rebooted Doctor Who have been a mix of atrocious, average and exceptional episodes. Since Steven Moffat took over, the overall quality has risen, but there haven't been any episodes that just blew me away... Moffat's writing just isn't as good, and the long arches turn whole series into one big episode, which means the show has lost some of it's quirkiness and colorfulness... and there is ample opportunity for glaring plot holes.
Series 5 wasn't so bad, but Series 6 killed me. Moffat spent half of it pounding into our heads that the Doctor HAD to die. It was a fixed point in time. The universe would collapse if he didn't die at right that point. And then of course, he didn't die. It was some hokey robot. But somehow the universe was fooled and was just okay with that. It took all the power out of jaw dropping first episode. When the Doctor's regeneration went out after River shot him, it was just chilling. And all that power is lost when we discover it's not actually him." Also, River's character isn't as interesting when we find out she didn't kill him on purpose. What was the point of her even being in the suit? Bait?I'm one of the people hoping Series 7 is more episodic and Steven Moffat doesn't do as much of the writing. I never thought I'd say that after the first four series because I loved his work so much.
The Topic of Time LadiesKate Beckinsale is too big an actress IMHO. As is Helen Mirren. If you look through IMDB, the Doctor was the defining role for all the actors who played him up to this point. So while I'm not in violently opposed to having a Time Lady ("The Doctor's Wife" informs us in no uncertain terms that it's possible) I think it had better be an actress without a lot of history. I do have to ask though, would the companion be a guy? That would really change the dynamic of the whole show because the Doctor has to be the authority figure... so there would be some wimpy guy at her beck and call? Kind of weird.
And after reading everyone's reviews of the Christmas Special... I'm probably going to hold off buying it on Amazon until Season 7 is available. (I hated "The Next Doctor" and if this one is anything like it, I'll pass.) That's a long wait though.
Personally, I wouldn't be overly opposed to it.... if they did it well. Which, right now, I'd say they probably would not. So just stick with a Time Lord, I guess.
Should I worry?
