Doctor Who

Definitely not alone. I did a fair amount of crying throughout the last episode. What hit me hardest was after he had gone to see all the people from the last few years and I realised that despite all the friendships he had made he was going to die all alone. Broke my heart, it did.

Well I am for a start!

I have my reasons but I'd like to see if anyone else perfers the older ones (in my case it's the 1960's for me)

I'll tell you my reasons in a few days!

Goodbye Till next time

Russell T Davies' production style is a lot more slick, and his script writing tends to border on dramatic, which can get a bit heavy-handed at times in my opinion. Also because RTD wrote these dramatically huge overarching storylines, the new series often feels like I'm watching "the universe according to RTD" rather than "the Doctor's amazing adventures in time and space". That's not to say that I don't like the new series, I do, but I tend to like the one-off stories (e.g. Blink, Human Nature/Family of Blood) rather than the stories with the dramatic overarching storylines (e.g. the Master "trilogy" starting with Utopia).

Plus I just don't like the character of the Master. Probably one reason why I've avoided Jon Pertwee's stuff for so long. But the trilogy of the Keeper of Traken, Logopolis, and Castrovalva with #4 and #5 were good.

I think Roger Delgardo's Master was the best ones and I think Jon Pertwee worked brilliantly opposite him I find The Master in the new series annoying he never went on about drums then.

I REALLY can't wait for the new series with Matt Smith (new season rather). I love Matt Smith already. Despite having very distinct features that remind me a bit of David Boreanaz (brow ridge) and Anthony Stewart Head (the chin), his personality seems a bit of McCoy and Petwee to me from what I saw of the season preview.

ah but you forget , doctor who is god so he can get out of anything, what is really stupid is that the daleks never kill him whe nthey have the appropriate chance, and the only time they ever meet him is in an incident when it is someh ow convinient to keep him alive, talk about unlucky.

doctor...... wouldn't have a clue.
