Doctor Who is the most awesome Sci-fi show in existence, any detractrors keep in mind this show started in the 60's and is currently airing new episodes.
Now The doctor is very difficult to describe due to his biology, he's a time lord and they have the ability to regenerate into a totally different person when they die, so far he's regenerated ten times and each is one is uynique and going into all of them would take too long. He travelled space and time in a police box - it's bigger on the inside - called a TARDIS along with various companions. Interesting fact about the companions despite the majority of people believing most companions were hot chicks who just screamed and got kidnapped there were multiple male companions, and some of the best were male, but a decent amount of the women were competent. As with the Doctor going into them here would be impossible, mainly because I haven't really seen over half. I'll go into more detail about the Doctor and the companions I've seen later.
Okay so why did I do this review well mainly to talk about the series, which I've actually seen. this season has technically shown three doctors, four if you count 'time crash' which I recommend by the way. Any way the two main doctors so far have been Nine, played by Christopher Eccleston and Ten, played by David Tennant.
Nine was a darker doctor than all the others, though by how much varies a lot, having, presumably, been created during a time war that resulted in him being much more willing to just blow up an enemy. He however was slowly changed into a nicer less kill happy person by his, again presumably, only companion Rose Tyler. Rose was a simple London girl with a boyfriend and a mum, until one day she ran into the doctor, who was blowing up the building she was in. She spent a year travelling with the doctor, and in that time he not only became a much calmer nicer person he also fell in love, depending on who you ask this is either great or one of the worst things in doctor who history, there are plenty worse though.
Now I admit I haven't seen all of Nine's run but from what I've seen he's a great doctor, if a bit too serious for my taste. He was truly the doctor in many ways, he spouted technobabble at a thousand words a minute, he was easily distracted, and he could turn deadly serious at the drop of a hat. However, like those before him he was also different, the time war had changed him, made him grow up almost and as such he was very serious when it came to dramatic situations, whereas most doctors before, and the one after, usually were humourous until it came right down to the wire.
That's all the time I have so tune in some time later for part 2 where I review David Tennant's doctor, and possibly the whole of the 'RTD era.'

I agree that 9 seems a bit out of place amongst a gallery of English gentlemen, but he just carried that Doctor Who charisma.
ReplyDeleteYou're calling six an English gentleman? But yeah he is a bit out of place but it's understandable and he's still the doctor.
