I think the show works when the actor playing the Doctor is charismatic to gloss over that (which, for me, would be Tennant and Smith...and Tom Baker, etc...Eccleston not so much),<br /><br />But, yeah, tight plotting is not Doctor Who's strongpoint, and I totally see why it would turn people off.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293070603428186814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603719725957464633.post-73755996040483912302010-07-07T10:37:46.761-07:002010-07-07T10:37:46.761-07:00I think I would enjoy Dr. Who if things didnt alwa...I think I would enjoy Dr. Who if things didnt always magically work out in the end, with rare exceptions that die-hards like to throw at me. <br /><br />I also enjoyed Eccleston the most as far as new Doctors go, so I am obviously in the minority. Cool show, but not something I would lose sleep over if it were canceled.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926822130283094820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603719725957464633.post-25366368007572015962010-06-25T05:58:02.704-07:002010-06-25T05:58:02.704-07:00Yes, Matt Smith is great!

I'm not an RTD-hater, of which there seem to be many in Who fandom, but man do his writing tics begin to get really noticeable after a couple of seasons.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293070603428186814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603719725957464633.post-39363204783470622372010-06-23T10:23:43.156-07:002010-06-23T10:23:43.156-07:00I must echo my disappointment with the last season...I must echo my disappointment with the last season of Tennant's Doctor. By the the time the final episode rolled around, I was pretty tired of Davies' writing. Too much Deus Ex Machina for my taste.<br /><br />However, you'll be glad to know that the new season with both new Doctor and new production team is off to a very good start. Clever, even.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
