Is it just me or does he not really have a distinct character? His "costume" doesn't set him apart from anyone either. Don't get me wrong, I like him and I'm sorry to hear that he's leaving after the first season, (is this true?) but he doesn't seem to be distinct as all of the other doctors. they all have different quirks to their characters in manner and costume. Why doesn't Eccleston's doctor? Is the 21st century the mark of the indistinct doctor? has the doctor been too distinct?

Why doesn't Eccleston's doctor? Is the 21st century the mark of the indistinct doctor? has the doctor been too distinct? Hmmm. That's a tough question. I know Russell T Davies and Christopher Eccleston were both keen to get away from the question-mark sweater and Edwardian clothing, but I think there is something about him that stands out. His intensity is far removed from any other incarnation of the Doctor. It's as though he's had something important ripped out of him, and he's trying his best to move too fast to let the loss catch up to him. He's more or less in a state of shock, trying to deny that that anything's wrong with him but clinging to Rose because he unconsciously knows she's got what he's currently missing and that through her he can regain the humanity the Time War took away. From his callousness at Cassandra's death to his taunting of the Dalek, he's acting out of character for the Doctor we know; he's acting on the worst impulses of his previous incarnations at times. Somewhere inside hiimself he knows this, and latched on to Rose because she was as determined as he was while also being capable of feeling emotions other than hate and fear. I'm reminded of the Doctor's speech to the Cyberleader in Earthshock about the simple pleasures in life; this Doctor might well offer the Cyberleader's argument in his present state of mind. That's what's distinctive about him, and why he needs Rose.

but he is distinctive from the other doctors. he also still acts like the doctor.. his clothes are a reflection of the "time" he comes from, and they always have been. A lot of it has to do with British culture, which most of us being from The States we have a hard time grasping. The Current Doctor is "from" the North of England. Just Be greatful he doesn't do Rhymeing slang.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Tardis repulsive? it's more like the thing in the movie, which I hated. No other Tardis in any of the other TV series were like this Tardis. What's going on? Why did they go with the movie version instead of staying with the TV show? Or am I wrong?

Because if they went with the old look it would completely fail to convince today's kids of being anything except a badly cobbled together jumble of washing up bottles and gaffa tape. Personally I think it's nice, and nowhere near as gothic as the movie one looked. It's just a...hub-space really, and the decor fits with the feel of the programme. It's the eccentricity of the old world fused with the technology of tomorrow.

I actually like the new design as well. It's not as "H.G. Wells" as the TV Movie's design. It's a more organic feel than the original, to be sure, but it is very distinctive and recognizable both as a TARDIS and as the Doctor's specifically (given the extensive modifications to the console). I must admit missing Peter Brachacki's design, but it really wouldn't work on television today.

It took me a while to get used to the new layout, yush. But I kinda like it, now. And after all, each Doctor has been unique. As well as the same person. Like. Yah. @_@
It's still a police box. It still sometimes gets stuff wrong. It still travels backwards and forwards in time and space etc. etc. And it's still bigger on the inside than out, makes the same funny noises, and has a similar console. 'Tis the TARDIS alright. 3nodding heart

OK, I have a major problem with Father's Day. The TARDIS is not supposed to be so accurate. And yet it is. They're messiing with one of the principle story lines of Dr Who.

Well, it has messed up sometimes- like the whole Cardiff thing and when the Doctor accidentally takes Rose back a year late. ^^; I'm not gonna criticise anything yet- it's still early days , I reckon.

Obviously, he's figured out how to fix the TARDIS.
Roughly. xd
