How else can a transgendered horse be explained? Torchwood was worse for it, with the lead character cautioning his subordinates on their behavior before then going on to do exactly what he said should not be done just minutes later. Berty Bassett. The Tardis is a call box? I can count exactly one thing I like about the show. The Weeping Angels. And it annoys me. But I do enjoy those Weeping Angel creatures.
I agree fully! I started watching the first season with Matt Smith, because I have friends who like it. The season was tolerable at best, and the only thing I liked was the Weeping Angels and Amy.
It was sad and upsetting. Doctor Who sucks. The funny thing about those angel critters. What they actually DO to their victims is retarded. Sending you to the past is implausible if you want to talk about potential energy or whatever unresearched gimmick seemed clever at the time. It is no more fantastical than a series of stories about a small town Utah guy that becomes President, and becomes the savior of the world, following a zombie apocalypse complete with demons and possessed zombies, and supernatural extravaganza.
But its BAD science fiction, really, really bad science fiction. This was great man! I think it must be some kind of hipster fad to be a fan of Doctor Who. I also have watched two episodes and cant figure out why people like it.
Its the crapiest show in te universe, even obama can make a better show then the brits there are only 3 british shows i like 2 of them were cancled, i like doc martin, death in paradise cancled , and ballykissangel also cancled. Maybe you just watched the crappy ones. There are quite a few crappy ones. Most of Em are worth it. Imagination is branching away from an idea, not sticking to the same stale pseudo-iconic idea for nearly half a century.
These fuckwits who consider this show to be a gem merely do so; as far as I can tell, because of the sense of superiority the Imperialist mentality gives that flows from this culture. I agree on the note of him visiting the Warhammer universe, where someone will gladly kill themselves to destroy an enemy.
This show is for doughy little shits desperate for an exclusive happily ever after in their entertainment. A follower of Khorne would laugh in his face at the threat of destruction, and gladly hug him with a fucking brick of C-4 strapped to their chest.
Well I stare into blank wall and its best show I ever watched. Blank wall rocks. Who fans hating on all non-fans.
Gods finally someone who sees this piece of vile putrid excrement for what it is. What the HELL is this? A blast from the past? This is an insult to real sci-fi!! Dude, I doubt any of you saw an episode of Dr Who. The tv show has been around since , way before Harry potter books.
And about the sonic screwdriver, it is mostly used by the doctor to sort of fix things since the doctor does not carry any weapon that may harm living creatures.
Also, the doctor regenerates whenever he gets fatal injuries, he sorta cheats death by being a new person but is still the doctor. Or are you out of critical complaints? I know there are people that like Sponge Bob and Miley Cyrus too. Doctor Who does suck when it comes to science fiction.
The sonic screw driver has indeed become a magic wand and Doctor Who is ripping off the Wizard of Oz and Harry Potter. Yes it does get tiring. Seeds of Doom Tom Baker punches out a guy. Earth Shock Peter Davison kills a cyberman. So yes the Doctor can and does get violent.
The only frelling reason the Doctor regenerates was because Harntell was leaving the program. It was a trick to keep the show alive. It was never planned. Real fans recognize how crappy the show has become and how campy it became when John Nathan Turner took over. Doctor Who had its moments but great science fiction it is not. Oh, the angst. The Twilightish storylines.
The companions. The doomed, roaming salt-shaker Daleks. Everything about this show insults science fiction and is making the planet dumber one episode at a time.
Give me classic Star Trek, and F this show forever. Because the fans are children, whatever their chronological age. And the sonic screwdriver? More like plot-drill. I was tolerating this until you insulted the music. Never, ever insult Murray Gold in front of me. I suggest you run. Can you name a single episode he wrote? Which was considered the critically best? Hint: it involves an outdoor manhunt. Can you answer? Do you even know what episode?
I am not going to hate on your opinion, as it is, your opinion. What I am going to do, however, is disagree with your decision to write a whole article on why you hate the show. How can you hate something so much that you make a list of why you hate it? This is pure hate. Grow up and get a life Potsy. You cannot defend this dreck. It never was. There is a clique of guys at church that wear bowties and have Doctor parties.
Oneof my buddies is in that group and he invited me to the gathering around Christmas to watch. My response: Oh yeah let me slam my balls in a car door first. Deal with it. LG:I spent my time defending the show too. I had to delete some comments by a slather-mouthed Whovian who was having a rabid OCD induced aneurism of a meltdown because I did not post all 10 reasons for my Hate-fest on Dr. Doing so probably sent him into an epileptic seizure and a stroke.
Good friends. I like to rib them as much as they like to rib me. This was to rib them. It was not intended to step on your manhood. But if your manhood is as such that this rant hurts it… Well, all I can say is that you are just sad.
You said you were an open minded person, but really, all your reasons are pretty close minded. You brought this on yourself. Wow a whole 3 years.
Remind again how many Doctor Who movies they made? Right 0. Any Space Shuttles named after Doctor Who?
Any scientists or astronauts inspired by Doctor Who? Hell even Steve Colbert has a piece of equipment named after him on the space station! Pretty much agree. For me it just looks cheap and poorly made and the writing is shambolic. Buffy, The X Files — two of the best examples for me of how sci-fi should be done: fantastic stories, excellent acting, top drawer writing. For a guy claiming he is open minded, you are making very, very closed minded statements.
You are correct about most of these things. It makes sense that someone with such a massive desire for rational punctuality like yours would hate it. I by no means say it as an insult, but your way of thinking does you little good in enjoying the show, and only proves you to be pessimistic. Most people see past all of those reasons. All of those reasons entirely. There are consequences for his actions that create a manner of predicaments in the show that are just, really entertaining to watch.
What they say, and in some cases, what they feel. It removes the illusion that they are using bathroom appliances to power their science. As many plotholes there are in the show, there are just as many endearing, fictional joys to be had from watching it. All you have to do is have an open mind. You are literally watching Dr. Who with the mentality that it will explain the fabric of space and time.
Clearly, you have been listening to the wrong crowd of Whovians. I watched, like, 3 episodes, and feel like it deserves to be defended. So there you go. Being open minded does not mean I have to accept crap. I am open minded. Enough that I watched 6 episodes before I wrote this. So I watched about 4 more. That was as much as I could stand and it did not change my opinion.
I still think Who is about as lame as it gets. The writing is piss poor. Yes, I too hate this show with a passion! Its so unoriginal, the cybermen are just the Borg, and the show is just choosing and picking from all the great Sci-Fi and making a joke of it!
How on Earth its lasted 70 years is beyond me! What on earth is a police Booth?! A police box, not booth. A police box is a British telephone kiosk or callbox located in a public place for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone is located behind a hinged door so it can be used from the outside, and the interior of the box is, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers.
These do not exist anymore, because we have mobile phones. So forgiving me for not using the Brit term for the same thing. More sophistocated characters have diversified casts like Star Trek, which is about cooperation and teamwork… but I always have a vision of Dr. Actually, that would be Matt Smith.
I feel bad for you. Here are 10 reasons your arguments are invalid. Registered in South Africa. All Rights Reserved. November 6, Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 1 — Spyfall pt.

Will you be watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife? Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. David Tennant is the best Doctor. Have they not seen Tom Baker and any of the classic series? Modern Who seems to be a visual soap opera lacking in substance and depth. Pretty awful writing too. I sense a low attention span and lack of knowledge about television history and what makes a show good.
Excuse me, I hope you take the time to read this comment metalheadjay. I am also a sixteen year old girl, but that has not stopped me from watching ALL of the Classic Who growing up, as my dad introduced me to it when I was about six years old.
Doctor Who, both Classic and the Modern version, has been apart of my life and I have seen every single episode. Out of the eleven existing doctors, I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion about which one they prefer more. None of them did a terrible job, and each brought something new to the character of the Doctor that we as fans can appreciate. While I might not be able to change the amount of hatred you have for David Tennant, I hope you realize that everyone has a different taste and some regenerations of the Doctor are simply more enjoyable for other people.
Do not lump me into the category of ignorant teenage girls, as I have seen every episode, both Classic and New. I have a well formulated opinion of the series and love both parts equally, but David Tennant is my favorite Doctor out of the eleven so far and I hope that you can respectfully let me and the others who commented have our opinion.
While I know it may be frustrating that others are not conforming to your opinion, everyone has a right to think what he or she wants to think and while we all agree that Tom Baker was an amazing Doctor, others may have different favorites.
So please respect this. Thank you. Hiding 7 comments I totally agree with everything u say I grew up hiding behind the sofa!!!! You can't say that the plots for River and Clara weren't brilliant. KasarySkywalker posted over a year ago. I have to agree with your comment also. I grew up with Tom Baker in the late seventies.
The fan base was allot more friendly than todays groups. And yes they are totally superficial! Walter posted over a year ago. I have seen every episode of the Doctor Who series and find your opinion to be extremely rude. By insulting the actors and writers for Doctor Who, you are implying that you are able to do better. You are not only being insulting, though, you are stereotyping all teenage girls who happen to watch this show.
InkyIzz posted over a year ago. Are you kidding me? I watched one Classic Who episode and fell asleep half way through. I will admit Tom Baker did a good job, still. I feel Classic Who was boring, horrible quality, and I am not even going to get into it any more than that. You are calling me dumb? I am a high honor role student, a great singer, and so much more things that you probably couldn't even do and your calling me dumb?
How rude. Maybe i would have seen classic if i was alive in that time, but i wasn't. I think that is so mean. So what if in an eleven year old girl.
I don't like tennant because of how he looks, I like him because he played the part well. David Tennant Answers. I have seen a lot of the "Classic Series", specifically, from the 1st to the 5th Doctor, then for some reason skipped to the 9th and 10th If you know so much about the "Classic Series" you know that Tom Baker was very self centered, and thought everything revolved around him.
He was a jackass. Besides this, there are numerous reasons to like David Tennant better than the others, such as Tom Baker. Just because people in this club are saying they like David better doesn't make them "a very naive clueless teen audience.
Did you expect all the David Tennant fans to be raving about Tom Baker? What the hell. Look, just because you don't think it's a good reason, doesn't mean a fucking thing. Stop being so self centered. Jesus, dude Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As i mentioned before, I have seen Tom Baker, and I hated him.
I much prefer David Tennant. I have my own reasons for this, not like they matter. I suppose that makes me a naive clueless teen Chill the hell out! I've seen multiple comments you've put on people's answers in this club, telling them that Tom Baker is the best, not David.
So YOU think Tom was the best. Other people happen to like David better. You seem to think that makes them some sort of inferior being you wouldn't want to sully yourself being associated with. This is a club for David Tennant fans. This is a club where people will rave about David Tennant, and tell others that he's the best Doctor they've ever seen. This is a club where people care whether the Doctor is hot, because David Tennant was playing him!
And seriously, if you don't think David is hot, there's something wrong with you. But seriously Relax, go find the Doctor Who club.
Or the Tom Baker club. Or something Just go away Actually, Tom became very protective of the role because he cared so much about the show and didn't want to see it destroyed by careless people. You also seem to forget about all the charity work and personal appearances that Tom did during his tenure. How he worked damn hard to promote the show too. You should show some respect because without Tom Baker, you probably would have never had your precious Modern Who with Tennant!
Tom's era is responsible for making the show a Worldwide success. It is you who needs to chill out. I'm a diehard fan who merely made a commentary about what I find to be distressing in the Modern Who audience. Too bad you couldn't take it. Sorry, if people who like substance, intellect, and depth in their "Doctor Who" offend you.
Since that is apparently the case with you, you are indeed in a small minority when it comes to this particular show and its history. Lastly, Who used to be a show for smart people that wanted rich story, atmosphere, and strong characterization but now it is a show that has been dumbed down to a primarily teen audience that don't want to think or can't. To sum it all up. Tom Baker is indeed the greatest and definitive doctor and all the countless parodies and fan devotion proves this.
A vast majority of his stories remain the best ranked in the history of the series. Sorry to rain on your parade but these are facts and you need to just learn to live with it. Otherwise, if I were you I wouldn't go to a "Doctor Who" Convention because you might be a bit perturbed by the amount of people that show their love for Baker as opposed to Tennant!
Hiding 2 comments I, too, am a die-hard fan both on Fanpop and in reality , Furthermore, I believe David is the best and Tom, second. I have met them both in conventions and believe them both to be very congenial. However, I the conveyance of your stance is quite strong. It's a matter of opinion, not fact. THIS is what all of us are thinking about this question. I agree. I have seen all the original and all modern episodes, and I still think David is best. Tom to me will never be as good as David.
But I do not bash or insult Baker fans. We each have our favourite, so lets just move on. If people prefer an arrogant drunkard over someone of quality and talent then that is their choice, but to bash people who wish to have a better Doctor David as their favourite is plain silly. I cannot say it as well as you have, but I agree completely with your reply. First off, lemme say that i find people like you ridiculous and this "question" Is sexist, stupid and extremely offensive.
Second, I understand everyone has an opinion, but calling other, younger Doctor Who lovers quote: dumb, naive and clueless makes you look really really bad. Not the Doctor Who club. Yes he was the Tenth Doctor, and in my opinion he was the best but it's not strictly Doctor Who. So please, If you wanna spout BS about the show's viewers, go to the Doctor Who club, I'm sure they'd love to give you a piece of they're mind as well. Fourth, Good Tv? Listen, I know the older Doctor Who shows were great and all but, seriously, Tv is Tv, there's good shows and bad shows.
But that's just me. I think you mean sexist. Rainshadow posted over a year ago. XRandomXMissesX posted over a year ago. I made an account, specifically to upvote and tell you how awesome you are. Thank you for this. AncalaBond posted over a year ago. The classic series is up to Paul McGann's doctor. I'm a young, non-clueless female and I prefer Classic Who. Don't generalize.
I know that the classic series is up to Paul McGann's doctor but the series golden era peak years is widely considered to be the 's. Smart, informed female. Good to see.
I wasn't aware that I was generalizing. Just judging on the wide consensus that I see. Sparky04 said: People are entitled to their own opinions, stop being hateful and rude. Not everyone has to agree with you that Tom Baker is the best Doctor. And not everyone who doesn't think Tom Baker is the best, isn't necessarily a teenage girl.
I know someone who saw the orginal Doctor Whos when they first aired and his favorite Doctor is Eccleston. Not everyone is as shallow as you make them out to be. And not everyone who likes David Tennent is judging him by his looks.
DT is my favorite because his quirky attitude appeals to me: MissChicky97 posted over a year ago. You need to work on your reading comprehension because I was not being rude or hateful in the least. I was merely stating what I see when I look at the audience for "Modern Who". A generalization can only be that if it's not true. Not in this case. Plus, opinions can be ignorant. I'm sure there are plenty of teen girls who would say that Justin Bieber is a great musician and they would be wrong.
It's a fact that he is NOT a good musician, opinion is irrelevant in this case. Another fact is that a vast majority of Who diehards including myself consider Tom Baker to be the best representation of the character with no competition. And don't get me started on best Who stories because a vast majority of those come from his era as well!
That is indeed the golden era and creative peak of "Doctor Who".. Not all girls are shallow and dumb. Just because you think that apparently only girls are shallow doesn't mean that all of them are. Don't judge a book by its cover.
I completely agree! You guys covered it all for me. MissChicky97 said: I don't think criticizing a general audience for enjoying a particular aspect of the show is fair. And I'd rather you didn't generalize me and put fans like me down just because we are 'young teenage girls'. There are plenty of teenagers who have enough concept of the story to understand and form rational opinions. Where does it say I can't criticize an ignorant, ill-informed opinion? And Tom Baker is the f--ing best doctor I've seen!!
How can you judge that these people have ill informed opinions. You're basically saying that all people who don't agree with you can't be correct. Maybe some of these people DID watch old Who- and you call them ignorant and dumb just because they don't see what you see. You're so quick to judge opinions from people you don't even know just because it's not yours. Your opinion is not any better than anyone else's. In fact, to me, it's worth less than anyone here as you are trolling here.
I wonder what Tom Baker would think of that? Padraigin posted over a year ago. Just because fans are "young women" does NOT mean they are clueless and dumb. Stereotyping teen girls is not helping your cause. You could have said "teen" instead, but you didn't. Teen boys can be the same except with different aspects of the show , and don't generalize whovian girls to be shallow. Don't stereotype. I myself think that DT is the best doctor as a young woman not because he is "attractive," but because he was witty, exciting, and had so much depth and so many layers.
Just because you think that all young girls are shallow and dumb does not mean you can't listen to what they have to say. If I stated in the first sentence that I was young, the writer of this piece would've totally ignored this comment just because of there stupid, untrue stereotypes.
Judging all teen girls makes you just as shallow and dumb as you think young girls are. Tend to be brain-dead sexists who cannot appreciate that the term "best" is subjective and they don't have a monopoly over Doctor Who.
Tom Baker is well praised by the people he happens to agree with. Is that a credible reason as to why Golden Who is good?! Tom Baker is the best Doctor. Have they not seen William Hartnell and any of the original series? Golden Who seems to be an ad hoc jumble of half-baked ideas and special effects to string an otherwise stilted performance together - one which quickly severed DW from being a publically enjoyed show to a creepy nerd-niche for decades to follow.
Whereas the original series s pushed boundaries, used sparing special effects to tell a story not to replace it , told each tale for its own sake rather than trying to string along a tired fanbase through recycling, loveable characters and original plots for the time that did not rely on an eternal cycle of "ohh bad guy Ohh, another, conveniently timed evil arises Just listening to some Golden Who fans, it seems as though they're unable to grasp that good TV should transend the sewerage pumped into houses in the 80s.
I sense a sacarine addiction and an intelectual laziness. I have watched ever doctor and cannot choose my fave benjod12 posted over a year ago. David Tennant definatly, and not just because he's super hot! AlphaWolfCurt said: i like david tennant the best but tom baker was also a good doctor and so was uhh wat was his name. It's impossible to like Tennant more than Baker.
Tennant is overrated. Overacted way too much and ripped off too many of the previous incarnations to be taken seriously. Even Colin Baker was better!. OMG people have their own point of view. I don't like certain doctors, but I don't go around telling people that their opinions are "wrong!
You don't have the right to take away others freedoms. Hiding 3 comments People have their opinions and you have yours. It may seem like your point of view is the only one to be seen, but others' are just as important and relevant.
You are the females I was exactly speaking of. I don't think you've seen many of the classic Doctors at all even the greatest of them all, Tom Baker. Unless you are judging on superficial, shallow terms. He is the best representation of the character. Probably because he wasn't really acting.
