I, for one, think that I prefered Tennant's Doctor because of the Grimdark.

Tennant always seemed "You better don't get me angry" or "I used to have so much mercy".
Smith on the other hand seem always laughing.

Or maybe it is because I began Doctor Who with Tennant.


I find Smith's plot more notable (the Silence, the eye-patched lady), but I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing.

I like Smith's grimdark bits...
They are good in several ways actually...
Tennant's ones were good because of the sudden change in character.

Not a fan of the Angsty Doctors.


McCoy remains my firm favourite. For classic 'and that's what you get for fething with not only one of the most intelligent, and powerful beings in the universe, but also one with an immense amount of compassion, fethface' I can highly reccomend Silver Nemesis, Remembrance Of The Daleks and Curse Of Fenric. Seriously very very different side to the Doctor then.


Also, the conclusion of Remebrance could well be said to be the opening shot of the Time War.

Oh yes, and Matt Smith is on board for another seasons. YAYS!

Excellent...

I love Smith, I prefer his character to Tennant's in ways that I can't exactly pinpoint.

His usually jovial sort of demeanour and then sudden slips into the void of sadness and anger are great, as they're so sudden, and he's usually completely silent before erupting.

Tennant was the same in some ways, but he wasn't as whacky as Smith, he always kept a darker undertone to his character, even when he was quite happy; it made his slips into anger a bit less surprising and less powerful to me.

His being there for another series is also great news

Agreed.

He has a slight edge to him than hints that he could indeed burn worlds and destroy civilisations. Whilst also abhorring violence.

Heresy?
Might be fun to try and make a Dr. Who themed Inquisition+Henchmen army...

Perhaps the Doctor is loose in 40k, and this is why there are so many inconsistencies.

Thanks for the pic kk, though I have two questions:

Where can I get one?
Is there one of Ten as well?

For those of you.. well.. most of you I'm guessing upon a moments reflection.. who don't read Private Eye

Heresy do a 9, and a 10 with and without a coat, a Master, two 11 variants and an Amy.

Crooked Dice do some other things like their own Doctor, Rose, Amy and Scarecrows etc.

Thanks, Howard! I'll take all of them.

Did they set out trying to do Dr. Who-esque stuff or did it just end up like that?

Red: Thanks for that Private Eye link, it certainly sheds some light on some questionable decisions. Guess they've got to learn to live within their means as a show again.

Wow. That private eye stuff sounds bad. Another year with only 5 episodes? Major bummer, dude.

At least if that's only 5 episodes us Doctor Who fans have to suffer through.

DAMN YOU MOFFAT and/or WHOEVER EDITS AND DIRECTS THE BLOODY EPISODES, YOU'RE GIVING SMITH A BAD NAME AND RUINING THE SHOW!

14 episodes have been confirmed for 2012 though, they just may not all air in 2012.

There's quite a few inaccuracies in the Private Eye piece. The split this season was decided ages ago, it wasn't due to any kind of panic that they couldn't complete on time. Also the filming on the episodes for this season finished at the beginning of May meaning they have over six months to do post production on just six episodes. That's hardly going to break them to meet the Xmas deadline is it? Peter Bennet only joined the programme for season 5 so hasn't been there "since 2005". The programme "Baker Boys" is made by BBC Wales just like Doctor Who, so if loads of people were trying to get away from Piers Wenger they weren't trying very hard. Also in contradiction to the 'joint venture' it's actually the case that Peter Bennet isn't even one of those working on Baker Boys so that's a fact-failure too.

So considering all that, you have to wonder if there's much in this story at all, it sounds like rubbish.

Well I think like many companies they are doing "not" figures. Heresy also do a few not-Firefly figures and Hasslefree do all sorts of things like a Shaun of the Dead and a not-Buffy.

Anisty Castings have just re-released their resin tardis BTW.

Crooked Dice have a website here which may be of interest.

Wow! "Good Man goes to war" was so EPIC!
I was a bit let down by the last two episodes (especially that you could have put all of it into one)this was absolutly great stuff.

On another note: Coul we open a "who is the best Doctor" Thread for all the guys you need to complain about smith or tennant ...

Well, I didn't see that coming.

Wow.

Unstickied so it can float free in the forums.

Waaagh_Gonads

Like the Doctor, it will be back this fall.

Seems like the next season will indeed be shorter, but as build-up for the anniversary.

Sat sitting here, watching Series 5...the museum, episode 4, where the Doctor finds the ships black box....final resting place of the Headless Monks...

Hmmmmm.....teasing methinks!

Thought I'd share this, I made it earlier today...

Southpark shenanigans!

Who's the 12th figure though?

That's pretty cool!

The original Master, Roger Delgado.

I thought it was Valeyard, he is sort of a regeneration.
