well it turns out that besides being a pretty fun show, the new Doctor plays Cardinal Richelieu in BBC's The Musketeers.
and he's doing a bang up job of it. his performance gives me high hopes for the new Dr. Who season.
I think that Matt Smith has been the best Doctor ever. this guy though..... oh, he's my kind of asshole. O:-)
I started watching Dr. Who from the beginning (the First Doctor, 1963!) at the beginning of 2011 and just recently finished. I have to say that I like Tom Baker the best of all. Of the three newer Doctors I'm not quite sure if I liked Tennant or Smith better. They both seemed pretty much the same. Eccleston just seemed out of place. I do have high hopes for Capaldi. 8)
I've seen a few Baker episodes recently and they just didn't have the "thing" that they had when I was kid. I really wish Smith hadn't moved on after 3 seasons. if anything, they're pretty similar but Smith has the advantage of better production values and a broader ability to be snarky in ways that wouldn't have been allowed in the 70's.
Whoooah, a Baker-Smith comparison. The nerd is strong in this thread 8)
He was best in The Thick of It..absolutely hilarious.
