Dr Who is about the only show I will sit down to watch anymore.*

For those of us on the other side of the pond, and therefore a season or two behind, Netflix has all but the most recent season on streaming. :cool: Used to be I would miss the weekly airing on PBS, now I pull up Netflix and catch all the ones I missed.

The spin off Torchwood is pretty good too.


Favorite episode (lives on my N800): Blink


*TopGear (BBC version of course)

Jelly baby, anyone?

*Yeah, I'm old. Sue me.

I actually love the doctor who shows, despite them being fairly terrible sci-fi most of the time.
Blink was truely awesome, but the episode in the last season that revived the angels was terrible (broke every rule we learned about the angels in 'blink')
and the doctor tends to solve problems with a hint of deus ex machina pretty much every episode.

But despite this, I still love watching it, because it is compelling and upbeat and fun.

My favorite doctor, and I have two inordinately long scarves in his honor.

I must admit to not terribly liking Jelly Babies though. I must also admit to not liking the new Doctor Who, but that's just me. Carry on.

Tom Baker was the first doctor that I ever saw, so for me he'll always be the "real" one ;)

While my first Doctor was 5, I always really liked McCoy's Doctor; not a popular point of view. All three since the Time War have been good; I wish Eccelstone had done another season or so and that Tennant wasn't lumbered with so many soap operatic scripts and (as mentioned above) annoying Deus ex mechinas.

This season has been ace; Smith is awesome as, in other ways, is Gillen... And in the last 2 episodes the character of Rory has really come into his own.

I preferred the previous Davies seasons to the current one. They were excellent. The current season managed to procure an EXCELLENT cast, though, but the story writing and the theme song for this season sounds seems very sloppy and cheap--it sounds like a step back into the awful 90's version of the theme song with its muffled synth crap sound. The episodes this season DID pick up a little bit of steam as they went along, so there's hope, but on the whole this season wasn't particularly great and certainly not as good as Russel's stuff. (which, in their time, I had found myself able to enjoy immediately in the first season).

Favorite doctor? I find myself still finding that my favorite all-around episodes were the original William Hartnell episodes, although the Doctor I most liked as a personality is probably David Tennant's.

Hey, I remember John Pertwee back in the day.

Thought I was safe from the Daleks 'cause I had an upstairs bedroom and they couldn't climb stairs.

Since they've made them fly I haven't slept a wink...
