The Doctor Who thread

Poor Colin Baker wanted to be a darker serious Doctor like the 2nd Doctor, but the BBC made him a clown (and that's the nicest thing I'll ever say about his Doctor).

I really don't like how overblown regenerations are now. They're really milked, with all the soaring music and speeches by the Doctor... in my opinion regenerations should be more abrupt and unprepared for.

Everything is overblown and milked in modern times it seems, subtlety is a lost art now.

Expectation is set to low from here onwards. Or at least lower than the last Doctor. Everything will be new.

I've found all the new doctors to be an acquired taste initially, but they have all had a different quirk to their personality and I'm always sad to see them go.

Just like all the others, I'm going to give the new series a crack and I'll probably really enjoy it.

Same, but I am keeping an open mind. I may be pleasantly surprised, I may find ways to blame the new show runner, all I know is I'll miss Capaldi. I did enjoy his portrayal, especially when teamed with Bill, but Moffett let him down.

I've literally watched only five minutes of the new version of Shada and it's already better than the 90s version - mainly because it doesn't have that godawful synth soundtrack and has replicated the 70s sound of Dudley Simpson.

Yeah I watched that too and enjoyed the latest version.

....bit bummed there are no episode breaks though. The other night I was planning to go to bed at the end of the first episode, and I'm waiting, waiting....

With the new series about to start, the internet is flooding with so many negative comments about how Jodie Whittaker will ruin the series forever. So I decided to trawl through comments about the previous Doctors, and lo and behold I was able to find negative criticisms on each Doctor. At the end of the day, people thought that each actor would ruin the series forever, but this was clearly not the case. Anyway, good to see that Transformers isn't the only fandom that experiences "RUINED FOREVER."
