Switch Capaldi with Smith and we have the same order. So close for my top spot between Tennant and Smith. Times I think I should or stick. Whittaker is the worst by far. I couldn't believe in her whereas Michelle Gomez's Missy I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I didn't really care for Matt Smith's run as the Doctor. That was more or less the Amy and Rory show for me with the Doctor just kind of being there. Plus I haaaaaate River Song and that comprised a lot of Matt Smith's time. I thought Smith was fine, but Amy and Rory are very S-tier for me. Probably loved Tennant the most, then Capaldi starting near the end of his first season as the Doctor, then Whittaker, then Eccleston, and finally Smith. Strong honorable mention for John Hurt. For older Doctors, I think they're all outshined by the newer ones, but I do remember Colin Baker the most. Not sure if that's because he looked like a fucking clown or because it felt like he had the most time spent with episodes about Gallifrey and I always found Gallifrey to be really interesting as a kid. The Chicago based PBS was what aired Doctor Who over here and it seemed like they showed the McCoy run the most. I could never really get into Tom Baker's time, but maybe that had to do with me being a kid and thinking the show at that point still looked really old.

odessasteps Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 I think a lot of the Big Finish stuff has helped "rehabilitate" Colin and the 6th Doctor, since its prob better served than what JNT did at the time. As we know from wrestling, even the best booker eventually runs out of steam and ideas. I don't know if I'd call JNT the Russo of Who but ....

J.T. Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Hey! The Doctor Who Classics Channel is now on Vizio WatchFree+. About fucking time since WF+ is pretty much just select feeds from Pluto TV. Now they need to get off of their asses and give me the Pluto TV Godzilla 24/7 Channel. Edited November 18, 2023 by J.T.

Totally forgot that Joseph Marcell, the actor that played Geoffrey the Butler in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, is in E2.

odessasteps Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 One friend said “it’s like RTD never left.” someone else also said “Jodie is going to be NuWho’s Colin Baker.” Doomed by the material and production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I enjoyed it. It was a solid, mid-tier RTD effort. Admittedly, I hate when the sonic screwdriver is a wand and the Doctor is a wizard, but I’ve come to accept its inevitability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That was a fun episode. Tennant is always such a joy. I like how things changed for Donna. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The most Davies thing to ever Davies. At one point we thought that Who could be better, outright demanded it to be, but after years of Chibnell, this dumb shlock works fine. Tennant was lovely and older, more subdued Donna was at least a temporary improvement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was the most annoying companion by far(I've only watched NU WHO), though a few later ones have come close. She was much better in this ep, I agree. Too bad they didn't do Martha Jones instead. . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 She's definitely in the Adric level of annoyance for me, maybe even more so than Jenna Coleman, who I really didn't like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
