    I'd just as soon Moffatt skipped the winking so much and worked at knitting his plots better but I don't think he's "catering to 'obsessives'" by bothering to explain why another regeneration was possible.

    Here here! Every time I hear Moffatt speak on this issue, it sounds like he has so little respect for the watchers. Not even necessarily the hardcore fans, but just the people who would like to watch two episodes in a row and have them make cogent sense together.

    I have been a Whovian since Tom Baker. I have always loved the show, but I must admit David Tennant has been my favorite. He was so great with Rose, and with Donna. His anger felt real and his silliness and joy felt honest and sincere. Excellent actor!

    Glad to meet another Whovian!

    In some respects I envy the non UK audiences that watched Rose and Donna. I just couldn't get Billie Piper's pop songs or Catherine Tate's comedy characters out of my head while I was watching them. Still brilliant though and very muched a tearjerker in places.

    So the pic is of him in Eleven's clothes? Well, he looks good all suit-y. And he and Jenna seem to get along nicely.

    Also I've decided I refuse to renumber the doctors; Eccleston remains Nine, and so on, and John Hurt is now The Mezzanine.

    Late to the party as I just signed up two weeks ago but a huge Whovian here too.
    Currently we are watching way too much - Netflix. Three episodes on a weekend night (on weeknights one at most. Need to get that exercise in somehow) and we love watching it.

    My love for the Doctor is much older than my husbands I remember my parents occasionally watching it way back in the seventies (I think it was aired after that other wonder of British SF Blake's 7) I was too young and therefore was not allowed to watch, but from hidden behind the couch I occasionally caught glimpses of the Darleks that scared me a lot at the time. Dr Who never had the following in the Nethelrands that it has in the UK but for me it was and is one of the best.

    My favourite doctor; Peter Davison. But that may have to do with the fact that I always have had a soft spot for him as an actor :-)

    We went to a Dr. Who party last night at a friends house. A whole big group of us are Whovians, but we haven't really gotten together to watch with one another. So we all selected a few of our favorite episodes - went and watched some classic and some New Who, ate some fish fingers and custard and Jammie Dodgers. (I might have gone over my calorie intake between the Jammie Dodgers and the Scottish fare we had at the pub beforehand...) but a great time was had by all.

    I won a shirt, which is my new motivation to lose some more weight (It's an XL which I fit in now, but it's a bit tight) It has #10's face on it and says, "Trust Me, I'm the Doctor."

    I love it.

    Seeing a Doctor Who topic, I couldn't resist not to reply.
    I'm a huge Doctor Who fan (obsessive)
    I'm new to this group, and it's great to find out that there are Whovians here :D

    Are there any other Big Finish Whovians around? I really should set up a direct deposit of my paycheck into their coffers, because every time I'm like I'M DONE FOR NOW, NO MORE they come up with something new that tugs at my purse strings.

    15 years of Big Finish is of course going to be celebrated with something I need:

    Between this and Dark Eyes 2 coming out soon, they're causing me heart palpitations.

    My wife and I are whovians, albeit whovians with busy lives. We are still watching David Tennant's series...

    So apparently "Doctor" in Hanzi as well as in Kanji, looks like... a man in a box. I'm convinced that he's holding a screwdriver. CONVINCED.

    Coincidence? I think not.


    Second entry down at the website below... 医

  • I'm majorly in love with Doctor Who & am trying to convert everyone I know as well :) I knew a bit about the Classic episodes from when I was younger but we didn't get them on TV. My husband is absolutely baffled by my obsession but mostly just rolls his eyes about it. Although I think the eleventh Doctor is awesome & bow ties are definitely cool I have to say that ten is still my favorite out of all of them.

    My thoughts exactly on seeing this post! I don't know of any Whovians around my area & was beginning to wonder if other Whovians (in the US at least) was just a myth

    Would always catch a random episode on BBC America and never understood what was going on. Then 4 years ago while on a month long project in the back country of the Gilla National Forest I was properly introduced. Been hooked ever since.

    This is way it initially took me so long to get in to the show.
