My favorite doctor is David Tennant. To be honest, I've never watched the classic series, so Eccleston, Tennant and Smith are the only doctors I know. I don't really like the things they changed in series 5-6. The new daleks look kinda funny and the weeping angels are nowhere near as scary as they used be. My favorite enemies are the Judoon because they are awesome

2-4 :

FORTUNTATELY you're one up on the many who just don't know [;)]

Modiconatriz-
Out of the latter 3, I'd have to go with Tom Riddle. [>_<] Oh Jeez, I mean David Tennant. [:x]


Kiwikami-

Colin Baker - Uppity, but I always enjoyed seeing how he'd have to both eat crow and save Life/the Universe/Everything.

John Pertwee - Hands-down the most ingenious of the (older) lot. Was MacGuyver's personal mentor. Could take 2nd Doctor's recorder, add 4th Doctor's sonic screwdriver and make either a) a better mousetrap, b) a wave-motion gun (BFG-3000 of the 1970's ) or c) a cure for cancer + world hunger. Plus, he could kick ass with Venusian karate w/o rumpling the velvet. IPPON

Peter Davidson - More like a very posh, twitterpated Scoutmaster. But he seemed the least snobbish (yes, really) of that era I think. I'd travel with him, Nyssa, Adric and Tegan Jovanka any millenium.


As for the villians, I was sooo going to write:
Cunning+ Intelligence + megalomania + can walk up and down steps + a pimped up TARDIS = Doctor Moriarty x 1,000!

But I didn't want to date myself yet more, but I forgot about the new movies.
Silly me! :roll:

I have just recently begun watching the show and ended up watching from Matt Smith's series, because I thought I was watching (the most recent) Doctor Who seasons. I've watched a few episodes of the previous Doctor and the show is still great, but I would have to say Matt is my favorite Doctor--then again, that could change, many more Doctors out there. [:P]

Favorite villain would be The Silence. They just terrify me. [:'(]

I have certainly fallen for the series. [<3]

Agreed, regarding Pertwee. (Hm. MacGuyver might be a Time Lord, too - I'll have to look into that).
Ah, Nyssa and Tegan... and poor Adric.

Who are y'all's favorite companions?

Hartnell: Susan. He really makes a good grandfather.
Troughton: Jamie.
Pertwee: Hm... have to say Jo, here. And the Brigadier, if he counts.
Baker #1: Sarah-Jane! ...and Leela. And K-9.
Davison: ...can I pick all of them?
Baker #2: Mel. She's like River Song, only fluffier.
McCoy: Ace. Taking into consideration the New Adventures books... I still have to say Ace.
McGann: The Eighth Doctor Adventures novels introduce an intellectual teenage blonde named Sam. She's my favorite for #8... although Fitz (from the same series) is a close second.
Eccleston: Don't have much of a choice. Erm... Jack. (Sorry, Rose.)
Tennant: Donna, unless Wilf counts.
Smith: The Ponds. It's nice to have some domestics in the TARDIS, little as the Doctor seems to agree.

"Who are y'all's favorite companions?"

Well, from what I've seen, I would pick either Amy or River. Amy because she's funny, but River because she's cool and reminds me of the Doctor.

Have you guys ever seen this? Also, what series is this from? I must watch it next!

I don't really mind the 11th Doctor; I think he has real potential if they spend some more time on him personally instead of focusing on the Ponds/River. What made Tennant so great was that we got to see real moments of weakness in him, like at the end of Last of the Time Lords. Matt Smith's doctor has come close, but they always find a way to switch the focus to the struggles of those around him instead.

Too many good ones, not fair!

But I'm going out on a limb and saying Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart of UNIT.
(recurring BFF from at least 3rd-4th-5th regenerations ***Help Kiwikami***)

He's the commanding officer of UNIT, which is like a fruit roll-up of Men in Black CIA. So he's aware of extraterrestrial goings-on. But he is so utterly unlike the Doctor. So "inside the box" as it were: military, straight-laced brass. If he were on Monty Python, he'd be the fellow saying "Stop! This sketch is getting too silly!" Not that he ever really could blow the whistle on a friggin Time Lord, or anything. Though he did have his own moments of brilliance and even one-uppsmanship on the good old Doctor. I think that's what really clicked between the Brig and the Doctor.

So I vote Waaaaabaaf.. erm, I mean the Brigadier!


The Judoon! We are the Judoon-Squad and we're coming to town: Beep Beep! They have the same tailors as the Sontarans!!!!

I loved the Brigadier! He added so much dimension to the series, a sort of snap back to reality after one is given a dose of the Doctor. (For the record, he appeared with Troughton, featured very, very heavily in Pertwee's time, and popped up quite a lot with Tom Baker. In fact, he was seen with every Classic Who Doctor except Hartnell and Colin Baker. And in the Sarah Jane Adventures spin-off.
R.I.P. Nicholas Courtney...
... and R.I.P. Elisabeth Sladen

When the actors who play some of your favorite characters on your favorite TV show die, you know you're either getting old or have very anachronistic interests in television.

Gotta love Rory - although he's starting to catch up to the Doctor in number of deaths. (Though Jack takes the cake for that one.)

I've only watched the new series.
Eccleston and Tennant tie for my favourite Doctor, Smith is just too childish for me. Favourite companion would be Captain Jack Spa-Harkness!, enemies would be the entity from Midnight S4, Devil from The Impossible Planet S2, Pyroviles from The Fires of Pompeii S4, the gas-mask people from The Empty Child S1, in that order. And the Daleks, but they're on a whole other list.

I never saw the horror in the Daleks that others did. A good friend of mine admitted she used to have nightmares about them when she was little. I think the 4th Doctor shuffleboarded/curled a dalek down a hallway. And the 5th Doctor defenestrated one (classic!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfk859qF3wc

Conquerors of the Universe? I think not. Anyway, I was more fascinated by their squishy mutant insides.

Now, Davros, on the other hand....A genuine foil to the Doctor. Arthritic, wizened, crippled, welded to a legless wheelchair, gnarled physically to match his twisted mind, just about everything that wasn't a strident screetching rant was pure classic downtalking Villian's Monologue. For a Doctor Who creation, he had a very "classic monstery" feel to him, like Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Mummy.

I have to admit I agree to a point - though I think the real horror about the daleks comes from a combination of their seemingly ridiculous exterior packing such a powerful punch (erm... death ray) and their origins as humanoids (or, in some cases with New Who, humans). Plus the whole merciless-emotionless-killer thing. That's kind of disturbing, too.

In this... I entirely agree. There's something just so deliciously twisted about Davros, it's hard not to like (though 'like' isn't quite the right word...) him as a villain.

When the UC Meistersingers went on our "Ca the Yowes" tour of England and Wales way back when, our tourguide kept on urging us with "let's go, we're late!" , which phrase the DW fans in the choir instantly "vocoded" into a DALEK version. Huzzah for "TARDI"ness !
[xD]

let's go we're late - let's go we're late - exterminate - let's go we're late - let's go we're late
