Doctor Who 🌌

[rrenaa]

Has anyone here watched Doctor Who? I wasn’t interested when my boyfriend first introduced it to me but it started to grow on me. Now I think it’s such a unique show that blends science fiction, adventure, and sometimes even horror, all wrapped up in the Doctor’s unpredictable time-traveling journeys. From the first few classic episodes with William Hartnell to the modern reboot with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, the show has evolved much over the years, but it still has its charm!

What I love about the show is the concept of regeneration; how the Doctor can completely change their appearance, personality, and even their perspective on life, yet still remain the same character at their core, just with new quirks, challenges, and a fresh outlook. I know a lot of people love Matt Smith's portrayal, but for me, David Tennant is hands down the best. I really enjoyed his compelling emotional depth, charming personality, memorable story arcs, and his unique ability to balance lightheartedness with moments of real tragedy.

- Who's your favorite Doctor? What makes their portrayal stand out to you?
- What’s your favorite episode of Doctor Who? Was it the storyline, the monsters, or the Doctor's character development that made it so memorable?
- Do you have a favorite companion?

Not much. One of my teachers once was really into it though and on days where we had nothing to do he would play epsiodes and I really liked it. Now i've been seing cool scenes like this that make me think I'll start watching it soon:

My parents watched it during the David Tennant and the Christopher Eccleston era when I was like 8 years old so I caught a bit of it on TV. My mom made a mii of David Tennant’s doctor and Rose Tyler, and I made a mii of the Master with glowing eyes. I made a paper version of him too, and my dad and I would make him hiss along with his coffee machine in the morning. They also had a squishy adipose. It’s mostly pleasant memories, though that episode where the planet or something started crashing into earth scared the crap out of me @.@ anyway, I’d like to check it out again someday, especially that nostalgic season.

I used to watch it a lot when I was younger my favourite doctor is the 10th. I really enjoyed the storylines when David Tennant was playing the character.

I've seen all of the modern series except I haven't got around to watching the newest season yet. My favorite doctor was the 10th and I also really liked the 13th. I love how there are so many different kinds of stories since they can take place anywhere across time or space.

I love Doctor Who! I've been watching it since its revival with Christopher Eccleston, but I've also seen a few story arcs from Doctors 1-3.

My favorite doctor is easily David Tennant. I loved his storylines, his portrayal of the character, the range of emotions his doctor experienced. Matt Smith is another top tier doctor in my opinion. David Tennant was a tough act to follow, but I was surprised at how much I came to love his portrayal over time. Although, I've only seen a few episodes, I also think I would really like the 2nd doctor.

My favorite companion is Martha. I thought she was underutilized, being the follow-up to Rose. I wish they hadn't relegated her to a role of pining for the doctor who was still dealing with his loss. But Martha had a few of my favorite stories like The Shakespeare Code and Human Nature/Family of Blood. Bill also became another of my favorite companions by the end of her story arc.

My favorite episodes or storylines tend to be historical or horror-themed. My favorite episode ever was The Girl in the Fireplace. I am obsessed with the clockwork repair droids. I also love any episode with the Weeping Angels, the Silence, or the Ood. There's also The Mind Robber with the 2nd doctor which takes place in the Land of Fiction. I love that one too.

I only saw one episode and it was at school. It was about Vincent Van Gogh. I thought it was sad, but kind of interesting; however, I never explored the series further.

I know there are people who REALLY like it, though, and I liked hearing that Jinkx Monsoon played a villain last season lol.

There was a period of time where I was really into Doctor Who. I watched all of the seasons of the revival series that were available at the time, which were seasons 1 through 8 I think. I've also watched a handful of episodes from the classic series as well. I don't remember many specific episodes, just that I enjoyed it a lot at the time, and I do think it would be nice to watch it again sometime. My favorite Doctor was David Tennant.
