I really look forward to Jodi being the Doctor. It will give a different perspective from the character but my question is will she be Scottish?
As far as my favorite Doctor it would have to be Capaldi, loved the guitar and the facial expressions and his hair in later episodes. I wonder what type of characteristics the new companion will have.
The curiosity is eating me alive.
Favorite companion: Amy Pond
Favorite villain: Daleks and Weeping Angels.
I watched it on PBS as a young kid (fifth and sixth Doctors in the early to mid '80s). Then I didn't see it for several years, but read some of the books. I was so excited when the movie came out on CBS in 1996, but I was sad it didn't get the anticipated reboot at that time. I was quite excited when it finally got a reboot and was syndicated on Sci-Fi Channel. I watched the ninth and tenth Doctors, but Sci-Fi became Syfy (stupid name, stupid direction) and they dropped Doctor Who. I haven't watched since. Maybe someday I'll get back to it.
I binge-watched a season of Dr Who. Enjoyed it but is that a show that you really have to have someone to watch it with?
So doctors aren't characters? If so, I'm a #10 fangirl, and I always had a soft spot for the Face of Boe.
How about favorite companion, and favorite actor playing the Doctor? I am torn between Amy, Donna, and Clara. I dig Tom Baker, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi.
@Beloved I'm always torn about companions. I wasn't particularly keen on Donna to begin with but she really grew on me. A lot. I sobbed at her departure. Clara was the reverse: I liked her a lot to begin with and grew weary of her. Amy I always liked.
With the Doctor, I love David Tennant followed by Christopher Eccleston, and then Matt Smith (who got a ridiculously meandering story arc). Are you looking forward to Jodie Whittaker?
I'm super excited about Jodi Whittaker. I can't wait til the new season starts. That Christmas cliffhanger got me fucked up.
Pass.
Fair enough
@Beloved I been too busy to follow tv shows but don't feel bad, at my high of following science fiction I couldn't stomach battlestar galactica either. Dr Who was popular enough that it was shown in Puerto Rico in the public station on saturdays. But I was never home on the weekends to watch tv.
