Who is your favorite Doctor and why? Tom Baker and David Tennant, and "because he was the first one I saw" seem to be the popular answers; what's yours? |

I think every actor who's played the part of the Doctor has given the role his all, and I enjoy every last one of 'em. I feel bad that Colin Baker got the shaft with the hiatus and subsequent firing -- he never really got the chance to prove himself and develop into what many might consider to be a more "likeable" Doctor. I also feel bad that Sylvester McCoy, who I think made an excellent Doctor with a somewhat Patrick Troughton angle to his style, got the shaft with some of the worst storylines toward the end of the "original" series, and then met his demise in such an anti-climactic way in the 1996 movie (which I only saw once and hated -- not because of Paul McGann, who could have been a great series Doctor, but because... well, there are reasons too numerous to name here). Tom Baker was the Doctor that introduced me to the series, and he'll probably always be my favorite. I think, of all the Doctors, he really conveyed the "alien" part of the Doctor most convincingly (to me, anyway). I wish Eccleston had at least done another season. Tennant was, of course, incredible. And I think Matt Smith has been great from day one. I'd love to see them do a multi-Doctor episode with the most recent incarnations at some point (as they've done in the past with The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, and The Two Doctors). Heck, even squeeze McGann in there and give him a proper episode! |

David Tennant was the best doctor ever. Though truthfully, I like all of them. But you just can't beat Tennant. He was smart, witty, and was always able to work his way out of any situation, though he didn't seem like he would be able to. I'm really liking Matt Smith so far, though. I think he's definitely got great potential. I still miss Tennant, though. |

I liked Tom Baker when I was watching those old episodes with Gran & Granma, but I also liked David Tennant. I'm indifferent, and happy to see the yearly change or whatever it seems to be. They seem to choose good Doctors. |

Dr. House is great (and it's his birthday today!), but I like Dr. Lightman better. Lie To Me is SOOO good. |
|
Watching the episodes with Tom Baker, I'd say he is definitely one of the best, but I really like David Tennant as the Doctor. He was the first one that I watched, and the one that got me started liking the show. Also, Matt Smith is an absolute gem, and with Steven Moffat directing, he may just become one of the best. |

David Tennant is still at the top of my list, since he's my first doctor. However, Matt Smith is now replacing David Tennant in my dreams, which makes me sad. I'm really impressed with him so far! I also agree with John, Lie to Me is one of the BEST shows on television right now! |

Since I have only seen the 3 in the new series set, I really like Matt Smith. but Tennant is awesome too. |
