Caves of Androzani is so overrated, at least from a current standpoint. We know The Doctor will regenerate. Blink is probably overrated but still really good. The main issue is the Doctor isn't as involved as he should be.
Doctor's Wife was really good...

No love for Midnight? That's one of my favorites.

The two-parter that introduces one of my favorite characters, River Song! (Plus it's a 10th Doctor episode!)

Granted. Midnight was also excellent, as was Silence in the Library.

I think Waters of Mars is overrated. I didn't like the "oh, I'm a Time Lord, I can do whatever the heck I want" attitude that it introduced. Fortunately, it was right at the end of Tennant.

I liked the End of Time episode, it was a sadder end and it gave at least me a better understanding of regenerations but Matt Smith jumps right in just fine. I like that one.

Were can I find the seasons before the ninth doctor? We have Netflix, but the only DR. Who with many episodes is the 2005 one.

Bobbert · « **Reply #33 on:** December 31, 2012, 05:13:25 PM »

I think Amazon has some.

Are the old seasons good?

how are yall watchin Dr.Who. I cant use Netflix, I'm broke. Is there a free way that yall use?

Old seasons are good, but like most older British TV, is very dated. More science/educational feel than the modern adventure/syfy style it uses now.

Blink is an excellent episode. I like stories that explore nonlinear time travel in a linear story without following the time traveler. Iconic quotes, too. I think my favorite episode is the one introducing Matt Smith. I had a hard time accepting previous cast changes, but I liked both 11 and Amy by the time fish sticks were tested, especially after the heaviness of Tennant's last. I also really like the Van Gogh story.

I hope Matt Smith is around for awhile. He seems to like being an icon, and with a BAFTA nomination, he'd probably be interested in trying to win while on a solid show (although I completely agree that Benedict Cumberbatch should give it a go before he's too big for the BBC).

The Van Gogh was great. my favorite was probabally Blink yeah.

I think there are several places on the web that host TV shows like this for free. But make sure that you have a REALLY good virus protection, because clicking on anything on those websites is pretty sure to infect your computer with something nasty.

You can always check libraries for DVD collections. This site searches almost every library at once. If you click on a season and enter a zip code, it will find the nearest copy.

I just watched blink, I agree it is overrated. I thought it was good but not the best. There are plenty of other episodes I have watched that I liked more.

I'm feeling sure Smith's time is drawing to a close though, and that's sad, because he's really grown on me.

Today, one of my friends said that he thinks Tilda Swinton is going to be the 12th doctor. I don't know how likely that is, but man... I'd start watching again if that were the case.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #43 on:** January 09, 2013, 06:59:23 PM »

As cool as that would maybe be, The Doctor shouldn't switch gender. It'd be totally out-of-character for him, especially as he seemed to find The Corsair's tendency to do so highly amusing.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #44 on:** January 09, 2013, 07:30:00 PM »

Catherine Zeta Jones was Davies' suggestion for the 11th doctor, so it's not that far out there. They've been adding stronger female companions (especially River Song) since Smith took over, which would help segue into a female doctor. And really, although the Corsair's gender switches could have been a meaningless comment, if a female doctor is chosen, confirming a gender switch ability is necessary.

Easily the best idea Davies ever had.

The White Witch as the Doctor? GAAAAAH!

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #47 on:** January 10, 2013, 08:52:29 AM »

We already have very strong female companions, why do we need a female doctor? I wouldn't watch that, but I'm probably in a huge minority there. The only way I could be persuaded otherwise was if at no point whatsoever did any part of the show become "ooh, look how female I am now!"

cookie monster · « **Reply #48 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:11:58 PM »

I actually do not like the idea of having a female doctor, that would just be weird! But like many people I would still watch, but at that point it would be more to say that I still watch DR. Who then it would be for the show quality.
