What Do You Think of the New Doctor Who?

I am not into Dr Who as much as you but I watch it when it is on because hubby loves it. I do like the new Dr Who, he's a good actor anyway which helps. However, I have the same opinion as yourself about Amy..that pouting REALLY gets on my nerves, plus the constant "surprised" expression. I know that, traditionally, the female assistants tend to be a bit naff but I never thought I'd wish Billie Piper was back in it! I also like her who used to be in ER...she's been in a few of the recent episodes and I reckon she should be the next assistant because she can ACT! Does the music in the background ever get on your wick? I can't abide it.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Matt Smith. I thought he was way too young for the part when he was first cast, but he seems very natural in the role - much more natural than Tennant was. Still a bit too eccentric at times (we're supposed to believe that he doesn't know about football despite having lived in Britain for several years during the Pertwee era) but still pretty good. Personally, I think next time they should cast a much older actor as the Doctor, but I'm hoping Smith will stay around for a fair while anyway. I like the new Tardis console room, and I also like Amy and Rory. The standard of the stories this season have been generally fairly high, especially the Vincent episode, although I think the current monster rally has gone a bit over the top. I'm not keen on the redesigned Silurians, too human looking. Nice to see the Autons making another appearance, I've always liked those, but thumbs down to the overweight plasticky new Daleks. Also nice that we've now got an explanation for some of the continuity glitches that have come about since the series was relaunched. Overall, yes, thumbs up, more please.

The smilers? I think my favorite episode was The Lodger, I just loved the humor in that one. I agree, that Matt has really stepped up to the plate and is handing down one of the best performances we've seen in the role. I have to say that Tom is still my favorite Doctor. But really, what do you think? What will happen when we get to the last regeneration? I personally think that taking in the Eye of Harmony reset the regenerations OR has given him endless regenerations - but I hope the writer who writes that last episode has a good hand with the Doctor thinking its his last.

Well, I don't watch a lot of television, so unfortunately, I haven't seen the new Dr. Who. I guess I need to probably see if I can find an episode or two over the world wide web. Now you have peaked my interested. Shame on you, Karen. lol

I haven't seen the new Doctor Who yet, I guess I feel like it will just be let down because I really loved Doctor Who when David Tennant was the Doctor. I mean, he was my first doctor so he'll always be my favorite haha. I don't have BBC in my cable plan anymore, so I'll have to find the show online to watch.

I personally thought that the new Dr Who series is brilliant. It just has so many different and funny new sayings, like Bow ties are cool, and I can always buy a fez. I think at the begining of the series, some of the episodes were slightly hit and miss, but after that rough begining, I personally felt that the series improved dramatically. Its crazy, when David Tennant was Dr Who, i thought that noone could replace him, now i feel that matt smith might just be better for the job!!!

Why didn't you tell us when it was beginning? I'm going to have to look hard to find some episodes. I used to watch Dr Who back in the early 80's. I believe the Doctor was Tom Baker back then.

i too have been a fan of the doctor since a child... i confess i hid behind sofa on more than one occasion when the cybermen appeared! i have to commend the standard of script writing for this series, so very complex but excellently written! i had my doubts when david tennant was brought in, but boy o boy did he make the role his own! to that end i really felt for matt smith coming in to take over! he has done really well and somewhat in the role of where david tennant had gone, as continuity of the character.. think he's doing really well! last week's episode was so very well written and i can't wait for tomorro's final episode!!! x
