HA!

I totally called it! I told my roomie that you were going to start a Doctor Who thread! hahaha

I vaguely remember a Doctor Who episode from the early 80's.

I also completely agree with you about Tennant and Smith! I'm torn between companions though: Amy Pond or Rose. I think I'm leaning more towards Amy. less

Ride my time rotor, baby. LOL

Old School Who fan here. I haven't seen many episodes of the new series; although I've the feeling Tennant was channeling Tom Baker's portrayal at times.

I actually have a soft spot for William Hartnell (the First Doctor). Not many of his episodes survived, but it was fun seeing a smart-ass grandfather figure. Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker were just plain fun to watch.

I've even seen the awful movie with the 8th Doctor.

And the Red Nose Comic Relief short with Rowan Atkinson and Jonathan Price. (BRILLIANT!)

I've written 11th Doctor fanfic (never put online) since January, 2007, and fizzled out by the time of my separation in November, 2009. Managed to get up to 35 stories, and addressed a lot of loose ends from the Old Series and trying to tie it into the new (I lived on Wikipedia during that time). My 11th Doctor refers to his 10th (Tennant) as his 'hyperactive scruffy incarnation'. I was rather miffed that I didn't get my version up online; was a fantasy that I'd be the creatrix of the Doctor's next regeneration. My 11th Doctor ended up with an avatar of the Earth Mother and an insane Dalek as companions.

Besides, time-traveling aliens spewing Geek is a fucking turn on.

(Sorry for rambling.) less

There was a holiday special after Tennent's first or second series that had him with the...5th Doctor(?), the one with the celery. It was brilliant!

I love the writers for the new series. They are amazing with their storylines! I love how Russel T. Davies (?) weaves a meta-plot over the whole series that is so pervasive you're glued to the screen. The last full Tennent season was a perfect example. less

I KNOOOOW! And he's so deliciously secretive. People have been asking him about Rory's hospital badge and he has said first that it's not important then hinted later that it's a "clue"...each episode is a puzzle piece and I can't get enough.

When the Doctor last regenerated and Matt Smith was eating? Priceless. He won me over with fish custard

"Toast. I like toast."
-throws it outside
"And stay out!" less

I love Doctor Who! My favorite Doctor is David Tennant, followed by Christopher Eccleston. I have the Russel T Davis era on DVD and was hoping to get a bunch of cool stuff at this years Comic Con but all they had was Adipose, the iDaleks (those colorful Daleks from this past season), and Matt Smith's sonic screwdriver. Is anyone excited that Torchwood will be returning next year? less

I'm a HUGE Doctor Who fan, and I got my partner into it as well. We're watching the most recent season now; we just saw the first two episodes, although I'm halfway into the season already.

Favourite doctor? Hard to choose. I think it's a tie between Tom Baker, Peter Davison, and David Tennant. Christopher Eccleston has a place in my heart as well, and I was even lucky enough to see him in a cocktail bar last time I was in london! Unfortunately, not tipsy enough to interrupt his date to ask for an autograph.

Also, I love Torchwood. Poor Ianto, though less

I actually learned to knit so I could make one for My Man. We still have it. The kids or one of us use it when we are low on scarves. I was never a great knitter, but the scarf looks pretty cool. I actually bought a "pattern" for it from a comic book shop, so the colors would be right.

It was really long. less

I guess this means I have to admit that I've been in the process of knitting one, too?

I learned to knit specifically for this reason. To make the 17-foot-long scarf; I found the pattern online for Tom Baker's first scarf. I started it two years ago. It's not that it takes forever (I knew a knitter in Montana who churned out five of them in a month for her family), it's just me getting distracted easily by other things. I find myself taking it with me when I fly and it's a great way to pass the time in the airport. (Yes, they do allow knitting needles through security - just make sure the scissors you have in your kit are safety scissors with the rounded ends.)

Stranger: How much longer you have on that?
Me: Fifteen more feet.
Stranger: Whoa ...
Me: Yeah, the Doctor will regenerate a few more times by the time I'm done. less

Alright I don't have a TARDIS. But is anyone here a fan of Doctor Who? I've seen it mentioned a few times in random posts and I was curious as to who watches it.

And if you do, who's your favorite Doctor?

I'm a Tennant fan but I have to admit Matt Smith is winning me over with every episode. The bow tie is growing on me. less
