David Tennant was magnificent though. Best of luck to him, and long live the new Doctor, may he serve well.

Change is one of the things that makes Doctor Who great and allows the series to continue. Although the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) was the first Doctor I saw, my favorite Doctor is the Sixth (Colin Baker). It's unfortunate he wasn't give enough time to develop.

I've liked all of the Doctors except for the Fifth (Peter Davison), who was okay but didn't really grab my interest. The abrasiveness of the Sixth Doctor was a welcome change for me and his personality grew on me as the series progressed.

One thing I've noticed is that each Doctor tends to evolve in a direction away from the way they first appear. The best illustration of this is with the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy). When he first appeared I was expecting him to be similar to the Fourth Doctor. However, by the end of his run he'd become similar to the First Doctor (William Hartnell).

I look forward to seeing the new Doctor. In the words of the Fifth Doctor (I think this is a quote): "That's the problem with regeneration, you never know quite what you're going to get." I think this will be the case with the new Doctor.

Even though I watched this show when I was a kid on the local Public Broadcast Stations, I really didn't get into it until the series was brought back. David Tennant will always be my Doctor just as William Shatner will always be the Captain of the Enterprise in my eyes.

I'm sad to see him go.

I agree with David Tennant being the best Doctor - but I never could stand William Shatner. Guess Shatner is someone you have to grow up with to care about.
The best Star Trek captain was Janeway!

I'll miss Tennant too. And though I'll give this new guy a chance, I fear they're going to go the "younger and edgier" route with 'im.

Bah! She didn't get lost, they was dragged against her will to the Delta Quadrant, 70,000 light years from home! She still managed to get them home!

Fast forward 4-ish years, and, like you, I was in tears Sunday night. Christopher who??

I hope Matt Smith has me saying "David who?" soon (although, since David is my hubby's name, I'd better remember it!!)

I asked Santa for this for Christmas - he didn't deliver, I guess I'll have to pick it up for myself!

I have that shirt!
I love doctor who, I didn't quite cry at the end, but it came kinda close. David Tenant was the first doctor I saw, I have since gone and bought many of the dvds from back in day, and I love them too.

My first Doctor was Jon Pertwee..........OMG am I really that old?????
David Tennant was my favourite.

As has been said, your "first doctor" will always be the doctor for many. With me, it was Patrick Troughton.

Got round to watching it on iplayer last night - he was good!

Wasn't so keen on the drawn out ending bit though. But I did like Matt's panicked "I'm a girl?!"

Mr Tennant was a good Doctor - sadly I cannot say I enjoyed the final episode ....

Lirael · 01-06-2010, 04:44 PM

The finale was excellent, but oh did I cry. Doctor Who is about the only show that can do that to me, and David Tennant was my favorite doctor. :,(

I'm not so sure about Matt Smith; he seems to be a bit too young, but then again IIRC people were saying that about David Tennant before they saw what he could do, so I'm remaining optimistic. Still, though, it's hard to replace Tennant...

I really enjoyed the Doctor Who marathon on BBC America New years weekend. I saw a lot of shows I hadn't seen before. I didn't have the BBCA channel before. I had see some of the early Tennant episodes and some of the Chris Eccelston, enjoyed them both and I remember Tom Bakker from PBS broadcasts. I will be watching to see how the new Doctor developes.
As a side note the Doctors companions were quite different. Rose was good, Martha was fierce, but Donna was a pain! All she did was cry. She really started to bother me after a while. Don't get me wrong I didn't dislike her but the crying every episode got old. I hope the new companion is more adventureous.

I don't know if you've seen many of the "old" Dr. Who's, but there have been all sorts of different companions over the decades, from "serious" ones (eg Caroline John - Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, with Jon Pertwee), right through to ones who did nothing but scream loudly at every opportunity (most notably "Mel" - Bonny Tyler).

But HarryT, did you cry?
