i highly recommend watching episodes from season 4. and it really depends upon what kinda genre and what type of show you like.I know this show is ridiculously popular, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. I gave it about twenty episodes, but for some reason it just didn't click. :/ Is the first season just kind of weak, and should I just move on to another?
I think I watched the first ever episode of Doctor Who but no more of that series.
Mostly watched the Tom Baker season and then the newer series.
Haha, yeah. According to my dad, Tennant's take on the Doctor is far and away different from the way the old actors played him up. I haven't seen but a few clips of really old episodes, but they just don't grab my interest. I think it's mainly that the companions aren't really given much of a personality: most of them don't seem to even want to travel with the Doctor, and even if they do the Doctor always seems to treat them as very stupid and dependent burdens he's grudgingly responsible for. Then again, maybe I just saw the wrong Doctor with the wrong companion under the wrong circumstances?I think it's just weird to see a bunch of older Doctors when you started with the revival series.
But that's how the creators first imagined the character to be. A crotchety old man.
The Doctor's character did change quite a lot with the new series - but then, a lot happened in between (such as the extermination of his entire species). I don't think the gap is totally incongruous though; you can kind of see how his interactions with humans gradually lead to his current fascination with them.Haha, yeah.

Spoiler Showhad been wondering how the Doctor was ever going to get out of his emo last-of-the-Time-Lords thing, and this was not a direction I expected, but totally awesome nonetheless. I only wish it had played out over the course of an entire season, with the whole "I control time, bitches" mentality explored further, and a little more gravity given to the epiphany that it is possible for him to go too far. Coming as that did so closely on the heels of his first revelation, it wasn't as powerful as it could have been. But Adelaide's suicide was a brilliant touch, and I now can't wait for the Christmas Special. John Simm is fantastic, and not just because he's the Master - I'm a huge fan of Life on Mars, too.

Has anyone else seen The Waters of Mars yet?
