Yeah, I’m pretty much nerding out over Doctor Who. I’m two eps into Season 3 and I’m angry that it took me this long to discover my new favorite show but thrilled that I get to have the experience. I mean, a show that, in one episode, goes back to meet Shakespeare, references the time travel laws of Back to the Future and then casts “Expelliarmus” at an alien witch??!!! Come the f*ck on! GET OUT OF MY HEAD, THE DOCTOR!

exTERRRminATE.

My boyfriend’s gonna leave me for you if you keep posting opinions like this. :P

Torchwood is also great, as is Primeval and SKINS. It’s kind of sad for the USA that I am finding all these great shows on the BBC

Doctor Who is the greatest TV show in the history of mankind. Once you get through the new Who make sure to check out the old stuff. You should dig the hell out of Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy – they are amazing!

“My vision is impaired, I cannot see!”

Doctor Who is the best show of all time. It’s going to start on 3rd of April. Great news for us.

Now that you mention it: The perfectly spiked hair, the tight fitting clothing, the snazzy shoes, the snarky comments. Oh god, he’s like David Tennant incarnate. <3

It’s such a guilty indulgence, right? Once you embrace the low budget cheesiness its awesome. :)

Best!!! Tennant is so perfect as the doctor.

YESSSS! Ok, that pic is supremely excellent.

I adore the new Doctor Who seasons, although the longer it goes on the more episodes just rip my heart out. Seriously, I may never have cried this much at a TV show. :(

One of my favorite of the earlier episodes is the WWII ep – The Doctor Dances – with the kid in the gas mask running around going ARE YOU MY MUMMY?? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that scared the snot out of me. Did I mention I’m a wuss?

Chris, if you like Season 3 you are going to absolutely flip out over Season 4. Before you get there though you should be aware that there are now several Doctor Who spin-off series including Torchwood (kind of an X-Files type show) and The Sarah Jane Adventures (a kids’ show based around a former companion of the Doctor and her son). You may want to watch them first because there are some cameos coming up in the next season that would make more sense if you’ve seen at least a bit of the other series. It’s probably not really a must, but if you’re freaking out this hard about Who you are more than likely going to want to see what is going on in the rest of the Whovian Universe. Enjoy!

Two Words: Tom Baker. Amen.

LOVE the Dr. Must be my alltime Fav show… One just have to love those brits for their amazing comedy……

I discovered the Doctor through Simon Pegg. He was in an episode with the 9th Doctor Christopher Eccleston. The episode was alright but I was hooked. I bought a the master’s sonic screwdriver then the doctor’s sonic screwdriver.

The tenth doctor is the best. It gets better, and better until he knocks four times…

Logan March 9, 2010 at 8:29 pm

The third season was a little bit of a mixed bag. By the end of the season there were some over the top cartoony elements (with authentic cartoon sound effects!) that mixed badly with some real dark elements. And some bad special effects! But the show recovers, so that’s okay I guess.

If ever I see you in person, I’m totally mugging you for your sonic screwdriver.

ok now i feel really cheezy. ive been watching Doctor Who for a while now and i have to say im in love. its the one show that has kept my attention for so long. so i (of coarse) figured, “i want to get online and see what kind of stuff they have…” so i did and one thing led to another and now i have a brand new very (so *&%$ stupid i cant believe i did this!) expensive sonic screwdriver… though i have to say this is the coolest thing ever! its an exact replica and is litterally EXACT to David Tennant’s sonic. before he broke it…
