I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith’s second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
Excelston was my first but I feel like the show really hit its stride with Smith and Tenant and theyre sort fo tied for my favorites
Was going to say the same. I don’t think eccelstone counts to the rule
I have a weird problem. I start out not liking the new Doctor, but by the time they switch, they have become my favorite. Every time.
I absolutely hated Capaldi at first, but after the infinite loop prison episode, I couldn’t imagine any other person ever being the doctor again.
Now I feel the same way about Jodie. She was such a fun Doctor that I’m actually sad to see Tennent back.
Heaven sent is truly one of the best episodes of the series. I was entertained, shocked, amused and sad.
Capaldi is my doctor. Started the series with Eccelston. Love them all, though.
“Came the long way around” is something I’ve adopted saying because of just how powerful it was when he said it. No one else in my family understands it of course, but it left a lasting impression on me.
Nope, started with eccelston and my fav ended up being Capaldi.
Tom Baker was my first and remains my favorite, so much so I actually cried when he appeared as the curator. For me it was a really emotional moment, stupid I know but it was like a direct road back to my childhood which for me , luckily was a largely happy time.
Nope, started with Eccleston and my favorite is Tennant with Smith a close second.
Nah, started with Eccleston, but Tennant is the best Doctor.
As a child that was the case for me, Tennant was what really captivated 12 year-old me back in the day. But now I have kinda gravitated toward a few.
2, 6 (in Big Finish), 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites out of all of them.
I started watching with 11, but my favourite is 12. 7 and 3 come closely behind. And Big Finish 6. You know what? I love nearly all of them with a few exceptions.
A lot do love their first Doctor. I’m old school and started watching as a tiny kid and it was Jon Pertwee. I love Tom Baker but Peter Davison became Doctor right when my teen hormones hit so he’s my favourite Classic Doctor! Peter Capaldi is my favourite Nu Who Doctor.
Started with Tennant, dropped the show at the end of Smith’s run from the burnout, then came back ten years later only to realize Capaldi’s my favourite.
I think the break had a lot to do with me reevaluating the show in general though, my tastes have changed.
Nope. 4 was my first, faves are 12, 2 & 5. Hubs first was 9, but 10 is his Doctor.
Started with eccleston, but tennent is by far my favorite. It’s a matter of writing also though ~because when they brought eccleston back for that special he seemed to do much better than during his season. ~
Edit: totally hallucinated eccleston returning in a special. He specifically did not
What special? Sorry
You’re absolutely right I must have hallucinated it. Apparently he was in some stock footage during one scene for the short introducing the war doctor so maybe that’s where I got it from
The first Doctor I saw was Pertwee, but Tennant is my favorite. Being a life-long fan, he brought such enthusiasm to the part, and was just completely amazing. I’m hopeful that Gatwa is going to wind up a favorite too, as RTD knows how to pick a great Doctor.
Nope, Smith is my favorite and I started with Tennant (although Tennant is still very much my second favorite)
No. Started watching during Eccleston’s run and Tennant is my favourite. Eccleston is my second favourite, though. Shame he only got the one season.
