I especially loved how, in Utopia, right beforeSpoiler:you started hearing sound clips from the old series. Thought that was an incredibly nice touch, and after 3 years of not really seeing or hearing anything before 2005, a genuinely fan pleasing moment.
Btw, your sig/avatar keeps reminding me: I must get back to Fringe! I've only watched the first couple of eps, about a few months back.

I would be happy talking to you about Fringe too.
Walter Bishop is legendary. I think he and Doctor has similar characters.
From what I caught, yes, they do share some similar characteristics. Kinda like Doctor and Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock, really. Now there's three people I'd love to see having a discussion! That'd be epic!
Regarding Fringe, I'll probably watch more of it while also watching more Supernatural. I'll let you know when I do watch any more of it, anyway. And the moment where it all clicks and I go, "whoa!", as I think I'm still waiting for that moment. Been good so far, but I haven't reached the point where it gets really good, if all i've heard is to be believed.

Ah! I love Sherlock! But I think Walter and Doctor has more similarities then Sherlock and the Doctor! They both like food!
Anyway, I made my dad watch Sherlock with a little pressure, and he liked it. Then I tried my chance with the Game of Shadows, and he slept.
I do not exactly remember when I started to like Fringe this way, but I am sure that it was about one of the Walter moments. Walter and the Doctor are the only protagonists I find this interesting and amazing.
Is there a Sherlock topic here on this site?
Here's the link to Sherlock topic: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...10962-Sherlock
And to be fair, I like the Ritchie/Downey Jr. Holmes films, but I didn't enjoy them half as much as the BBC series. I adore that show, thought both series so far have been amazingly well crafted. Game of Shadows was good, but it's got nothing on The Fall of Reichenbach, imo.
I'll continue watching Fringe for Walter. I will admit, everyone I've spoken to about Fringe has usually said it's mainly because of Walter, and judging from how he is in the first few eps, I've gotta agree with them. Is he as interesting to me as either the Doctor or Sherlock yet? I'll continue watching and let you know.

Melike who's your favorite Doctor, Matt? And I didn't know Jean watched Blink! And he enjoyed it?Will try to get Feev to watch it. Its the one ep I've been dying for him to see. Its my personal favorite, love the Weeping Angels. They're such a creative villian and so scary
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you did know Jean watched Blink, Heather. It was months back, but I remember you asking Jean about it after he watched it.

I like the movies too, but in the series characters are much deeper. Expecially Sherlock.
About Walter: You will learn lots of things about him. He is another mad man with... Spoilers.
Yeah, Matt Smith.Melike who's your favorite Doctor, Matt? And I didn't know Jean watched Blink! And he enjoyed it?Well, I am watching Tennant's last season by now, I can not say Matt is my favorite as easy as I could before watching Tennant. He is amazing too. But Matt Smith's doctor has something different. I do not know what it is exactly.
Anyway, I love the Doctor. Wheeping Angels are both scary and romantic. So lonely...
Yours is Tennant, right?
Yes, love Tennant!
I remember you getting after him to watch it, but that's it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
My favorite doctor's are in order:
Baker
Tennant
Smith-Tennant and Smith kinda switch around for me sometimes based on my mood
Eccleston
The rest of those guys. I haven't watched enough of the eps with the others to get a feel for them, really.
Current favourites for me are, in descending order:
McGann
Smith
McCoy
Tennant
Troughton
Tom Baker
Colin Baker
Pertwee
Hartnell
Eccleston
Davison
Very difficult picking favs, and most of this, bar the top spot, could change at any time, really. Smith I prefer more than Tennant for his more mysterious and alien approach to the role, which is why, despite not being the best actor in this list, I also place McCoy's Doctor rather highly. Bear in mind though that this is based as much on what I've listened on audio as what I've watched tv wise, which is why I enjoy Colin's Doctor almost as much as Tom's. The former got some rubbish stories, and his character was badly written on television, but he's so much better with good scripts on audio, I think.
And bro, you need to sort that out asap!

Oh, I've probably seen several by all of them at this point. Some of them though there are too few eps to go on.
Wait? We're ranking Doctors now? Oh, this is hard...
In descending order:
Smith
McGann
Troughton
McCoy
Eccelston
Tom Baker
Tennant
Pertwee
Colin Baker
Hartnell
Davison
But it is important to note, that beneath McCoy, it's really all even. I don't dislike any of them, though, as James said, a lot of the ranking has to do strictly with audio performances.
I liked back when Daleks could be defeated by stairs.
I'm too lazy to rank them all, but Baker was my first Doctor, when I was a kid, watching reruns on KET(Kentucky Educational Television, a PBS channel. It was also where I first encountered Monty Python).
My favorite Doctor is Smith, followed by Tennant.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
Just finished season 4 and I really loved "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End".
And, in The End of Time it feels strange.
Awesome on Stolen Earth and Journey's End! Yes, I do love those eps as well. Not perfect, but definitely satisfies one's boyish glee, with not just old companions, even older enemies, but even acting as a crossover between the spinoffs to boot, that I really liked.
And strange? How so?

It is a sad moment when The Doctor regenerates. With Eccleston who stayed not that long, it was still sad but ok. Especially Tennant following him. But 10 stayed much longer which is another thing that makes you feel closer to him beside his awesomeness. So his regeneration is strange. One second I do not want him to leave and in the other Smith came in. I will be really sad when Smith leaves.
Yeah, I can understand that. Although I did find Eccleston's departure more harder than Tennant's, if I'm honest. It might've had to do with the fact that even 13 weeks was a good time to get to know his Doctor. But also I hated how Tennant's departure was treated as an actual death. I didn't mind the long goodbye to the RTD era too much, but by the end, Ten's Doctor had become a little too unlikeable for me, so I more than welcolmed Smith when he arrived. Unlike Eccleston's departure, which was really him going out on a high.

I found Tennants departure just lacked so much diginity. I agree that towards the end 10 was going off the rails slightly, but the actual regeneration was just too drawn out and for me it seemed more about tennant saying goodbye than the doctor, and that annoyed the bejesus out of me. whereas 9th doctor regeneration was so bitter sweet and gave Ecclestons doctor such a dignified and sad goodbye,
It was strange in a way, because 9 'died' to save Rose, and he did it was bravery and sorrow. When 10 'died' to save wilf, he was so bitter about it, ranting about not wanting to die. It just made me cringe, and ruined the whole of Tennants tenure.
Sorry to interupt, cant resist a good dr who debate. As you were peoples
THIS. Both Candy and James...you speak the absolute truth. The main reason - however petty it might be - that I genuinely prefer Eccelston over Tennant is mostly because of his awful ending. I can't really rant about it enough, which means I should probably not start. But you get the idea.I found Tennants departure just lacked so much diginity.

That's why I'm kinda hoping that Smith will be given a decent exit. The thing is, I really did heavily enjoy Tennant's run, and for his first couple of years, he was one of my favourite Doctors. It was just the end - perhaps mixed with the constant reaction of "omg, bring him back, he was the greatest doctor out of the only one i've seen, everyone else sucks" from the Tennant fangirls that has weakened his image slightly. Definitely hoping Smith's Doctor gets treated a lot better when his exit is eventually written.

My comparision was on a different way. You watch the show during a long period of time. For me, it was different. I had all the episodes of 2005 series. Eccleston's time passed quickly, and when I stated to like the character he changed. Tennant's time was longer and I had more time to get used to him. But, yes, I agree with all of you, Tennant's ending was written badly.-->
-->Yes, Eccleston's goodbye was more about The Doctor's goodbye. Still, in Eccleston's goodbye, I think there was a compliment to the actor himself also, which I think is one of the most beautiful things about the series.
What bugs me about Tennant's regenaration is how they forced it to be so dramatic. It naturally was dramatic. ''I don't want to go.'' It is against the basic character of the Doctor. One moment he is the saddest man ever, but then he finds something to distract himself. Tennant's doctor could have the best last words, he was more interesting than that.

Look what I have found!
A journal of Impossible Things by *SheldonSands on deviantART:
Very cool! Yes, I really liked seeing the glimpses of the original journal in Human Nature, especially the page with all the previous Doctors on it.
