Any Whovians out there? :)

me me me!!!! love Doctor who.. my boyfriend made me watch a matt smith episode, then... i was hooked..... tennant is my fave, and we are watching loads of old eps at the moment... watching number 5 at the moment... and once we get past that, gonna watch all the new ones through till matt smith.... i love this show.... and am always balling my eyes out... thanks for messing with my heart doctor.

I watched the first ever episode of Dr Who, in fact the BBC had to repeat it the following weekend, due to demand and these were live broadcasts, amazing stuff.
The character of the Dr, performed by William Hartnell was very selfish, edgy and dangerous, in one episode, he considered using a rock to kill someone, who was slowing down the group, try that today, it also had educational content thrown in for good measure, dates, times,places were all grist to the historical mill when in Earth's past, it also posed questions about time and relativity, which made you think and although I enjoy watching the new Doctors, they will never replace the Doctor that changed my life,
William Hartnell's Dr, was the primary reason I focused on science as a brat and led to my career in Sat comms and computing, yes ,I have a lot to be grateful for, thanks to William Hartnell and the BBC.

Hello :flowerforyou:

Am I the only one who truly loved Eccleston? Rose wasnt my fav though... Donna and Martha were badasses though.

Whovian here. Although I admit I haven't seen the old ones, I know there are some on Netflix but being French, no subtitles is a bit tough for me with their accents at times.

Actually been watching Torchwood in the last couple days and crying my eyes out.

I'm not sure if its been mentioned but you all should join the group The Geek Squid for the sweet Doctor Who thread Just sayin'

I love Doctor Who, though I'm a newbie....caught it with Matt. I love that BBC America plays reruns because I got to watch Chris and David. Haven't seen any of the older ones.

I like David, Chris and then Matt.

The Weeping Angels scared me so. Now I can't stand seeing statues, lol!

I love River Song. I keep wanting to start calling my Hubby Sweetie, though he will never, EVER get it! LOL!!!
Oh and Jack, total hottie!! Love his character as well. He always makes me smile!!

I think unless your favorite is Tom baker or Tennant you probably feel your favorite is underrated. Since all you hear is not as good as Tennant and nobody beats Baker(because noone puts Baker in the corner!!!). Honestly every performance by every doctor was top notch. (I say that not seeing the movie with the 8th doctor). Most of these actors are under rated because the show is bigger than they are. It's hard to be compared to such a massive serial like doctor who. Not many people can readily take it on and live up to every expectation. Case in point if, this more than likely wouldn't happen but Gary Oldman as a new doctor, the king of character acting would be under rated in a doctor role. David Tennant some how exceeded expectations. Tennant being such doctor who nerd I think is why he comes off so easily to many. You can see the boyish wonder in his eyes. Made it easy to get excited for new viewers to fall in love with the show, and reminded us little of each of the 2nd-5th doctors

Another Whovian here. Started with the reboot during the Tennant years, so, naturally, he is My Doctor. But I also love Eccleston and Smith - very different takes on an intriguing character.

I'll be going through the older series via Netflix soon, so I'll get a chance to see all the originals.

Favorite companion is Donna, though I rather like Rory, too.

Weeping Angels are, of course, creepy as hell, which works for me as a villian, though the Master is, well, the Master for a reason. Awesome character. And, of course, the Silence. *shiver*

No real favorite episode, though. Too many to choose from.

Should check out this, if you haven't seen it: http://youtu.be/ob42vhhtw7A - it's about Battlestar Galactica, but the premise should ring true for Whovians and the ending is perfect.

Ive read 2 possiblities for John Hurt, that he is either the 9th Doctor who the Eccleston forgot about due to something he did during the time war or he is the Purest Doctor who is the only person who can judge the doctor (forget his name) I think its going to be the ninth doctor myself because of a line said at the end of the last epsiode "what I did, I did it for good" or something along those lines.

Why is there soo much love to Donna and Martha? I thought they was the weakest out of the compainions, for me It has to be Miss Pond, oh Amy, I will miss your beautiful ginger locks

Woohoo! Other Whovians! No one I know wants to nerd out with me thinking about who will play the next incarnation of The Doctor! Who would you guys like to see in the role? A woman? An older actor? A ginger? Personally, I would LOOOVE to see Rupert Grint in the role!

Whovian since 1980 here :-) Favorite Doctors are Tom Baker and Matt Smith.

^^^ this. since I was a little kid and had to hide behind the sofa (lol). Favourite Dr was Sylvester McCoy, favourite female who accompanied him was Ace.

i haven't even seen that many of the most recent series, due to not living in the UK. I'd like to see them though.

Hell yeah Doctor Who The tenth doctor is my favourite, although I cosplayed as eleven this weekend :')

<333 So many whovians, if any of you live near Louisville, KY I know Capt Jack will be at fandomfest this weekend!

With all due respect, eeeeeewwww. But then again, I've always disliked Ron Weasley.

Definitely not a woman, and I like what they've been doing with having younger actors in the reboot. I'd prefer a relative unknown just because it is difficult for me to really get behind an actor in a major part who is well known for one role. Like no matter what anyone from Friends does now, I'm just like "Oh there's Rachel. There's Chandler."

Back to companions, does anyone else really dislike Rose? I can't decide whether it is her personality or the distracting nature of her massive mouth, but there is definitely something about her that makes watching the first couple seasons of the new series difficult. As a Tennant fan, I have to go with Martha and Donna as favorite companions. I will admit, though, that I teared up when Rose was cut off.

Blink was one of the first episodes that I really went "holy crap I bet I could show that to ANYONE and they'd like this show!", but then I was not a fan of how they kept bringing the angels back for more episodes. It was like making crappy sequels to what should have been a standalone awesome episode.
