Because he seems to get so much hate! I don't understand why! Don't get me wrong, I love David and Matt but I adore the ever loving crap outta Chris! He was the person who really got me into Doctor Who

OI don't remind me, there was SUCH moaning and whining about Matt after his FIRST EPISODE that I went on such a tear on one forum about people bitching "OMG WHY DID THEY GET RID OF TENNANT! I DON"T LIKE SMITH HE"S UGLY,STUPID, etc etc" that I got banned. Oh well.

Tom Baker is still my favorite Doctor. . .but I grew up with him as the Doctor

I knew that but I want him to be the Doctor againnnnnnn

The good news is that there are audio adventures and novels

Some of them are really good too.

I need to finish one of them to do the review.

I want to add that I've been doing this for a very long time. I grew up watching Doctor Who. My first Doctor really was Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor. I've been around as he handed the role off to Davison, and then Davison to Colin Baker, and then Colin Baker to Sylvester McCoy.

So you're a veteran Whoivan?

And I can haz hug? *is still sad about Chris* Pwease?

Miss V, I like Eccleston as The Doctor. I like him because he seems more -- dangerous -- than guys like Tennant or Smith. Not that there's anything wrong with the last two Doctors. It's that Eccleston looks like he's prepared to do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if it means wiping out the Daleks or Cybermen as a race. That face, that hairline, and the fact that he has the chutzpah to wear a leather jacket instead of a shirt and tie really add to his take on The Doctor. His look is as iconic as T. Baker's long scarf or C. Baker's multi-colored jacket.

Oh, and another thing you can take to heart, Miss V, is that I very much doubt any of Eccleston's episodes will be lost to time because their original videos were taped over by the BBC.

Watch the Ecclestone series again, and the first season (or two) of Tennant. At the end, the producers thank the sponsors, which were then the BBC - naturally- but also the CBC... Canadian Broadcast Corp. They ended the partnership because of broadcast issues. CBC had them on a day earlier, which was fine, but could not/would not stop the file sharing that people were doing. So, if you stayed up to 1am on Saturday morning in England, you could see Doctor Who 20 hours before the BBC telecast.

Just think about it like this- the only major studio saving their TV episodes at the time was DesiLu- and that is probably the only reason why we have all of Star Trek.

But, at least we just got nine more episodes of Troughton's Doctor, including the last serial to feature The Great Intelligence before it resurfaced in The Snowmen. . .and in which the Doctor basically gave the GI his plan to invade the London Underground

Artemisia wrote:Yes, I'm a veteran Whovian. I've been a Whovian through the good times and the bad, and seen Doctors come and go. Heck, I even have several copies of the novelizations of episodes dating back to the 1980's. I first read some episodes because I never got to actually see them.

And you can have all the hugs you want

Just remember, your favorite Doctor may have left, but he have left episodes to cherish, and that's the only thing you can do.

That and enjoy the show as it continues on.

*is hugged*

I do enjoy the show. I may miss Chris but I love the Doctor in all his reincarnations.

Great I get stuck listening to Darlek Khan!

I just bought my tickets to see Doctor Who , The Day of The Doctor , in 3d at my local theatre. Yes , it's $15. Fucks given... zero!

And now for something completely different...
