The new Doktor

Postby Jnzk » Tue Apr 06, 2010 11:23 am

I know at least some people here are fans of Doctor Who, so I thought I'd open a topic because somebody has to. :)

The fifth season with the new protagonist Matt Smith just started on Saturday. I must say I had serious doubts about his ability to step into David Tennant's shoes, but the first episode was a joy to watch. After the first five minutes or so he really got rolling. The franchise should be in good hands with him and the new producer/writer Moffat. And the new redhead companion is pretty damn hot. Ladies in uniforms and all that. :oops:

The writing was awesome on this one. I found myself going back and re-watching segments to catch all of the dialog - especially the segment with the laptop telecon.

Bah. Considering I'm a huuuuuge Doctor Who fan (old and new) I'm pretty disappointed in myself considering I've let myself get delayed in watching some of the new stuff. I didn't get around to watching the second episode of The End Of Time until like 2 weeks ago. Gotta grab this soon.

I wasn't aware this season had started yet, but definitely checking it out. I also am a huge fan of Tennant, I really like his quirkyness. I was very skeptical as well when I saw the promo materials with this new guy, but it sounds like he's worthy.

Well, considering the first con I ever did was a Doctor Who con, I'm a big fan,,,

Being on the road at Saura and Tekko means I have not yet had a chance to watch the new Doctor in action... By the time I get back I'll have to catch up on both episodes... Can't wait...

It's a bit amusing to me how much the same sort of aliens are brought back. But if you've already got the costumes or designs, why waste them? It doesn't bother me all that much but I am SICK TO DEATH of cybermen and daleks. Stay extinct, dammit!

Has there been a Cybermen/Dalek crossbreed? They could have a whole forbidden love story going on!

More Daleks incoming (with Churchill to boot).

It's so wrong that The Doctor is played by someone younger than me!

But all things considered, so far I like him. I've been a fan since I was 7 years old, grew up watching John Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Peter Davidson. As far as new doctors go, Tennant is definitely the best. As for where this guy stacks up, I am still not convinced.

Excited to see Daleks again, even though it seems weird how they keep coming back after such crushing defeats last couple seasons. I knew we hadn't seen the last of them realistically, but it seemed like the writers wanted to kill them off.

They were one of my favourite creature creations so far! Although I'm worried about them being used again. The episode Blink was perfect on it's own, it doesn't need more >.>


Okay finally watched the two eps. Suprised to say that the new guy has grown on me. I really didn't like him from any of the interviews I'd seen. He didn't seem to have the personality for it and plus he just looks weird. But he definitely nailed his character in the first episode. The perfect transition from Tennant as he kept a couple of the mannerisms throughout the episode while introducing a few of his own.

I'm also liking the new feel. The visuals look more crisp and it has a more cinematic feel to it (or am I the only one who felt like this?)

I'm really interested to see how he progresses throughout this series, particularly after seeing the "what's to come" at the end of the episode. Looks to be an epic season with some epic Doctor.


... That said, no one will ever top Tennant in my book. Tennant, Davison, Baker.

The new Daleks are quite... colorful.
