So Troughton's Doctor was surprisingly amusing. What have I been telling you all of these years! It's so great to see people enjoying Classic Who on Twitch. I did a watch-along of The Web of Fear on there the other day, and it was a right old laugh. Follow my ass on there. They pay me. Sthomde. Troughton's Doctor was good. I have to admit he's nowhere near my favorite though. He was very witty with good comedic timing, but very, very bland generally speaking. And God forbid when he had to explain something to someone.

The thing is, the writers at the time wanted his Doctor to be the polar opposite of Hartnell's, which meant he had to be somewhat "stupid". It wouldn't work now, but it worked for the time. I'm slightly biased of course, because the 60s is my favourite era of Who and Hartnell and Troughton are my top two Doctors. Have you watched any of Pertwee's eps yet? I like his Doctor a lot, but he does come across as an arrogant arse at times!

Petrwee's Doctor is basically Capaldi's but not Scottish or trapped on earth...oh, and can actually drive the primary form of transportation unlike every other iteration of The Doctor.

I got to sit in that very car a few years back, the seats were surprisingly comfortable. And yes, he could actually drive. Tom drives Bessie in his first story and nearly crashes on a few occasions.

So Tom is Matt Smith. Well, actually, Tennant crashed the TARDIS twice. Actually three times. Once into another TARDIS, once into the Titanic and he nuked it the third time. So Tom has the driving skills of Tennant.

Pandorica crashing into the remnants of the TARDIS is what fixed everything. Loved that arc.

Thoroughly enjoyed Capaldi's last series though.

Gonna' throw my two cents in and say that Pertwee was the Doctor Who who got me hooked me on the show (back in the days of watching it on PBS during pledge drives so you had to sit through twenty minute breaks between each episode). Tom Baker sealed the deal. I honestly have a hard time deciding if Tom Baker or David Tennant is my favorite Doctor, mainly because I think Baker would have been even more amazingly awesome with today's writing and production quality.
Hartnell and Troughton were okay but not enough to make me a diehard fan.

Peter Davidson has arrived. Loving him so far. Can clearly see where Tennant got his inspiration, even before, ya know, he married Davidson's kid and they became related.

BRILLIANT premiere. Good one off villain, great dialogue, bittersweet ending, and Whittaker more than stole the show as the new role head. Jodie is going to be a great Doctor. I can feel it.

I loved all that Tim Shaw stuff lol. I have so far only been able to watch the first episode and think she is a good fit so far. I just hope when she needs to be really serious that she can pull it off. Tennant was really good at going from funny to serious. Smith too.

I just hope when she needs to be really serious that she can pull it off. Tennant was really good at going from funny to serious. Smith too. Watch Rosa. Funny to serious in under a second. Speaking of, that episode just got plastered everywhere on the internet this morning. Everyone, everywhere is talking about it. There's people here in the states calling for Emmy nominations for any/all combinations of Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole, and Jodie Whittaker on that episode alone. Graham's hatred of having to remain in the situation to ensure the fixed point in human history is carried out alone...the struggle Walsh brought to Graham...brilliant. Heaven Sent will always be my favorite episode. Peter Davison will always be my favorite Doctor. But Rosa may well be the most well made episode of Doctor Who ever. Holy hell. Such a powerful episode not just for Who, but television as a whole. Many a show have tackled the topic, but the fact that a British show was able to make such waves and handle the Montgomery situation with such poise, grit, and grace the likes rarely achieved by US TV? And to relate it to modern day and the future? BBC is gonna gain a ton of new lookeyloos after how big a wave this episode made, here's hoping they can capitalize.
