Your favorite Doctor (who)

[Umbran]

Indeed, whatever his status, he is one of the reasons I like the Third Doctor so much.

"Just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."

"Just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."

Yet it never stopped him from shooting first and asking questions second.

"Five rounds rapid!"

I will admit it has been many years since I saw Genesis, but I have fond memories of it. The virus speech was a highlight (“Ask a silly question…”)

Colin Baker played the role like a violent, unfunny clown. And I disliked most of the companions from the 5th Doctor through to Ace.

It's nice to see such an appreciation for Jon Pertwee. Like many in the States, my first exposure to Dr Who was with Tom Baker. Once PBS started airing older episodes, I instantly connected with Pertwee's flair and charisma.

Same here! I started with Baker but then they rebooted the run on PBS and started with the last episode of the second Doctors run, kind of a strange move, and ran the whole Pertwee era in a row. I'm a Doc #3 fan ever since.

I feel the same way. Maybe other episodes were better overall but for me Genesis is great stuff.

I did like Peri in her bikini in Planet of Fire myself.

Ace was horrid! Just Horrid! In fact I think Martha is the first companion I've liked in a long time.

Well given all the episodes that have been lost/destroyed, maybe they were going with the earliest stuff they still had, that wasn't completely out of continuity.

I wish more of the 2nd Doctor's stuff still existed.

Oh sure. It was just strange to see one episode of the Troughton era at the time and it be War Games, his last one.

Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)
Eighth Doctor (Paul Mcgann)
Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
Fifth Doctor (Peter Davidson)
Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker)

Although, it's hard to call Colin Baker a "favorite" since I hated him and stopped watching the series during his time.

I do remember seeing the Second Doctor turning into the Third and a little of the Third's episodes, but I can't recall anthing about them to rate him. Also, I did catch the first episode of the Seventh Doctor (when Baker regenerates into McCoy), but I wasn't following the series by that point, so I can't judge him, either. I do have a soft spot for the Second Doctor, just from what I saw of him in the Five Doctors movie.

As for companions, it's Martha Jones all the way, just because she has such a perfect face.

 

[sniffles]

If I had to rate them in order of preference from most preferred to least (I don't dislike any of them):

1. Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)
2. 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
3. 8th Doctor (Paul McGann)
4. 4th Doctor (Tom Baker)
5. 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
6. 5th Doctor (Peter Davison)
7. 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton)
8. 3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
9. 6th Doctor (Colin Baker)
10. 1st Doctor (William Hartnell)

Now anybody want to start a similar discussion of most/least favorite companions? We can start by arguing over what constitutes a companion. ;-P
