Been meaning to start a thread on this for years and never have for some reason. Big fan of both the original (what I've seen/remember of it...) and the rebooted series.

Good deal. The only reason I feel like watching any of it is to find out how the red head left as his companion and how the brunette was introduced.
Then again I'm sure wikipedia or something could answer that... [Reply]
The ladyfriend just got me to begin watching Doctor Who yesterday. Starting from the '05 re-boot. What I've noticed so far:
1.) they seem to be making up the time travel rules as they go along
2.) this Ninth Doctor sure makes a lot of little mistakes
3.) the score is really obtrusive so far [Reply]

I didn't really watch Smith so I don't know about that...
It did. I liked Tenant in the role. I would have liked a different personality out of Smith though. A bit too goofy. I enjoyed Smith's companions more than Smith himself. [Reply]

It gets better, and there are nude Rose pics out there. [Reply]
Tenant was a good mix of serious and goofy...Smith just got annoying. I enjoyed Eccleston as the Doctor...would liked to have seen him do more than one season. [Reply]

A lot of people liked Eccleston. I thought he was the weakest of the three. [Reply]

I started to like Smith during the last half of Series 7 (once Amy/Rory leave). I think he turned 30 around this time as well and he started to look/act more mature whereas it was bit much at times in Series 5/6.
Tennant is "my" Doctor though. The tone they were able to hit with him episode-to-episode and even scene-to-scene was outstanding. Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Midnight, Silence in the Library, Family of Blood, Journey's End, etc. [Reply]

I'd say he really lifted the show. He did a great job and I "buy" him as the Doctor. Smith came across to me as a lesser version of him in a way. I actually found the Amy Pond character more interesting, although Rory annoyed me. Baker is "my" doctor. [Reply]
