Welcome to Gaia! ::


I REALLY miss David Tennant. I love Matt Smith, but there was just something about David Tennant. Was it his attitude? Maybe it was the way he dressed. I just know that I miss him quite a lot. heart

It's not Matt that I don't like, it's just the stories written for his Doctor. I'm sorry Series 5 and 6 were just no where near as good as the series that came before. I mean River being Amy's daughter and that she had timelord abilities. Sorry...no, just no.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I generally like Steven Moffat's work, and Matt Smith isn't a bad Doctor, but Tennant's Doctor was more...would charismatic be the right word? Powerful maybe? I mean, the episodes starring Tennant's Doctor seemed to regularly elicit a very strong emotional tug on the audience, regularly eliciting feelings sadness, fear or triumph as appropriate to the mood of the episode or scene. To this day the conversation between the Doctor and Lazarus in the cathedral at the end of "The Lazarus Experiment" is still one of my favorites for this very reason. Matt Smith has been able to pull this off at times (especially at the end of the first episode introducing the "Silence" beings in Day of the Moon, or Vincent and the Doctor), but a lot of the arcs of the story have either lacked this same tug, or attempts at this have been undermined, for a variety of reasons. (Such as a lack of payoff (like, of I don't know, an actual battle, as opposed to the skirmish we saw, or the whole reveling of a dark side of the Doctor's persona, as was hinted at previously, instead of him essentially just making fools of an army of fools) from the building tension for the Battle of Demons Run in "A Good Man Goes to War" wink Further, I feel like this has also been undermined by some of the convolutedness of the plots, and characterization of the Doctor as simply a foolish old man. I realize this is the Doctor Who universe, and thus some degree of convolutedness with regards to time travel might be expected, but Moffat's style of doing so is very...inelegant. Just look at the abuse of time paradoxes in The Pandorica and The Big Bang, where two Doctors earlier Rose causing one time paradox almost destroyed part of the universe, and almost killed several people, including the Doctor. This little bit of continuity seems to have simply vanished. So instead of generally elegant and powerful, we have somewhat inelegant, and more than a little depressing at times, with greater quirkiness being expected to compensate. And really, this just doesn't cut it with me.

I miss Tom Baker.
I think that we can all at least agree that we love the Doctor, right? heart

Maybe not come back as the Doctor cause he left the role of his own accord but I love the idea of David coming back to the show, dying his hair ginger, using his Scottish accent and being a temporary ally of some sort to the new Doctor.
