Capaldi will always be my Doctor.

The one that's had it with your shit.

Eccleston for me.

He was just.. fantastic.

Eccleston and Alex Kingston just did A Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama that's pretty fun!

Just in case you want to hear River and your doctor argue.

Eccleston is probably my favourite, in the sense he had the best everything, but nevertheless the doctor will always be David..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

He was my fave until Capaldi. It's hard for me to rate them against each other, but they're both head and shoulders above the rest.

9th doctor best doctor

That's when the writing was the goofiest though

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

I just wish the writing for most of his run wasn't such ass. I loved the direction he took the character, but you can only do so much with shitty scripts. Honestly I was getting fed up with it during Smith's run.

For me, it’s a tie between him and Tennant. They were both incredible.

I wanted to like Whitaker, but Chibnall would not let me.

Ncuti is cementing his place at the top too imo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I've recently come back to Who, having left during Capaldi's tenure. Ncuti is amazing. Has this almost sassy, fun exterior but you can see something darker lying beneath. Makes me want to go back and watch what I missed in spite of the poor writing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, he’s quite good. I think we’re all settling into the new format, but I really do like him. And having RTD back is great, too!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yep. I didn't initially like him when he came on and I stopped watching round then. I started watching the reboot show again a few years ago and he's my favourite now.

He was my least favorite doctor by far

To each their own.
