The comics are straight up fucking laughable at times. I loved the questionmark underwear.
I listened to the Big Finish audio plays. That's where Eight became my favorite.
That was the one with the dracula cape and the car, right?
Yes. And "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow".
I'm pretty burnt out on the tv series. Capaldi's doctor is a dick who genreally comes across as really unpleasent . (Nowhere near Colin Bakers first apprence but still) Missy plans needs to rely on the fact that the doctor has turned so much despite the fact that they've actually known each other for centuries and when you get episodes that demand you stop thinking at all well you start to drive even me off
Dr who?
But seriously, I used to be a big fan. I fell out of watching it simply because everyone was telling me to watch it in order, when it's a freaking show about freaking time travel. If anything, they're watching it wrong, because they started with the BBC Wales reboot.
Sperging aside, I love the monster of the week format, and my favorite doctors are Seven and Ten.

Aw man I love me some Doctor Who! Probably one of my favourite (if not my favourite) shows ever! I love the old series and I still get excited like a little kid whenever I get a new classic story on DVD. Second Doctor's my favourite, and I also like Three, Four, Five, Seven, Nine and Eleven. Ten's okay, but the best Doctor ever? Nah.
That said the series is really going downhill these days - Moffat is well and truly running it into the ground and I've got to the stage where I'm literally having to force myself to watch it just cos it's Doctor Who. It's such a shame cos I love the Twelfth Doctor and I think Peter Capaldi's great in the role (the show desperately needed an older, darker Doctor) but the way Moffat's handling the show today is just embarassing.
He also seems to be pandering to the tumblrites, if not consciously, then subconsciously. A lot of the "important" quotes from the show are practically crying out to be made into an easy-to-share tumblr bulletin. Great for tumblr, not so much for the rest of us.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be Doctor Who?
It's secretly about Peter Cushing.
Oh those movies. films which depend on the audience buying that the charcters are complete morons and that the storys are stupid.
So I'm guessing Moffet's inspiration
Weirdly enough (power level incoming) I'm actually quite chummy with one of the VFX crew. So there's the closest thing I have to a claim to fame. This grants me no special privileges or inside info, so I don't know why I even mentioned it other than as an attempt to get some second-hand kudos.
I grew up with classic Who reruns on BBC 2, when the whole thing was regarded as a bit of an embarrassment, but when I was 8 it was absolutely fantastic. I like the new series, but I have to say I preferred it when Russell T. Davies was in charge. The series has disappeared up its own arse a bit since Moffatt took over, which is odd given that his episodes have been some of the best. It's a shame, I like Peter Capaldi, the concept of a Doctor who's a bit of an arsehole is very Classic Who.
As with others here, the fandom pisses me off. Not just the SuperWhoLocks, but the other end of the spectrum - the unreconstructed Classic Who geeks who don't like girls in their club. The ones who roll their eyes if your favourite Doctor is anyone after Seven and get very pissed off if you point out that the existence of a granddaughter implies that the Doctor got laid at some point.

I loved trolling those type of people after "The Name of the Doctor" when he grabs River and kisses her. That moment made their heads explode, and it was glorious.
I liked the reaction to the Master regenerating as a woman. Sometimes I think Moffatt just really hates the old-school fans.
(Speaking personally, I'm a big fan of the Delgado Master, but I thought Michelle Gomez was fantastic and I'm glad she's returning)
literally worst Doctor. 4th is king.
4th is too hammy. 8th best.
Once upon a time, my boyfriend and my best friend both bothered me endlessly to watch it (at least, starting with Nine). I got as far as all of Nine and a few episodes into Martha. Then my boyfriend and I had a terrible breakup and not long after my best friend decided she didn't want to be my friend anymore. Hurt by both I stopped watching it.
I enjoyed what I watched though, I just really can't bring myself to watch any more at this point because a) my other friends who watch Doctor Who but were less insistent about it have all moved out of that phase (instead, all of them have bothered me to watch Steven Universe instead) and b) it just leaves a little bit of a bitter taste in my mouth since my best friend was not only a fan, she was a Superwholock fan, and so was my second college roommate, so now I'm like "no, please no, keep it away from me" and just burnt out on it. (Forever.)
I do have a friend who is obsessed with the show still, except she likes all Doctor Who (especially the made-for-TV movie with Paul McGann, she got him and Eric Roberts to sign her copy of the DVD!) and two summers ago she'd hold parties with all her friends where we'd watch through a Classic Doctor serial and also play Super Smash Brothers. Those were always fun. Didn't watch enough of any one Doctor to get a favorite, though. I did watch enough of Nine and Ten to know that I'm actually one of the few who enjoys Nine over Ten and Matt Smith's chin looks weird so I don't understand the attraction to him, I think he's overrated. Like Bandersnatch Cookiedough. But let me save the Sherlock rambling for another thread. I've already stated enough useless facts about my experience with Doctor Who though.
I do own two MLP/Doctor Who t-shirts though because I am autism incarnate
