I was a big Dr Who fan growing up. I grew up on the Tom Baker version which aired on PBS. And now I have just recently gotten into the newest incarnation.
I've watched the occasional episode on BBCA when I had cable but it just wasn't a priority for me. But now it's on Netflix and I am watching it like crazy.
I just got started on S5 and so I don't have a proper opinion of Matt Smith but I liked David Tennant better than Chris Eccleston. I almost...almost shed a tear when he said "I don't want to go" right before he regenerated.
My only nagging questions at this point are:
- Did the Master survive his fight with Timothy Dalton?
- Who was the mysterious "Time Lord Lady" that kept helping Wilfred along and was recognized by the Doctor when they looked at each other?
I hope those do get explained at some point.
I understand Matt Smith is now leaving and that John Hurt might be the next Doctor?
Can't wait to catch up.
Also, trying to get into Torchwood. Not used to so much profanity in a Dr Who based show. Dr Who has always been family friendly so it kind of caught me off guard.
I'll leave you with this awesomeness.
