| '''FAV DOCTORS AND WHY'''
| | I love all the Doctors, even and especially the Sixth, leave him alone, it wasn't his fault. My favorites are Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann, I'm a Wilderness kind of guy, I reckon the books, audios and comics they made during the interregnums smash anything they did in the classic series, the movie or the new series. They say the new series opener will be the darkest yet, bull, Virgin went deeper than they ever did, it went to places, no Doctor has ever gone before. The Seventh and Eighth had depth, they had dimension. And of course, I love all the spinoffs, but I like the non-television ones, video, audio, cinema, print, like Faction Paradox, Bernice Summerfield, Iris Wildthyme, Jago & Litefoot, Gallifrey, Autons, P.R.O.B.E, Shakedown, Mindgame, all those. I like the expanded universe. |

| The First Doctor is one of my favorites because he is the most mysterious, he is a foolish old man who is always getting into trouble and in the end that takes it's toll, his hazardous lifestyle culminates in the expiration of his ancient body. He is far more antagonistic and mischievous than his successors and has a chip on his shoulder a mile long. Nonetheless he is one of the greater incarnations. I never really liked The Second Doctor, loved the Third and the Fourth, didn't care much for The Fifth or The Sixth, loved The Seventh, The Eighth, The Tenth and The Eleventh, The Ninth not so much. The Second Doctor being grounded on Earth and forced to regenerate by the Time Lords left the third incarnation in a bit of a pickle for the most part of his tenure and that was the most alluring aspect of his era. The Fourth had more freedom but was still on parole until the Time Lords left the picture during The Fifth Doctor's reign. He was a rather dull Doctor but I loved his character, he was so Human. The Sixth Doctor was a pain in the ass until he pulled his socks up for the big trial and finally got snuffed out, thank god, he was appalling. Number 7 was fantastic, as his adventures continued beyond the telly he grew darker and more menacing, Number 8's character is explored more deeply in the spinoff media that surrounds him aswell giving him a brilliant character. The Ninth is just an old war veteran always moaning about his battle scars, most of which caused him to regenerate. The Tenth is brilliant but can get on your nerves after overexposure to his character. Now The Eleventh is just grand, he is eccentric and funny and serious, all at the same time. Can't wait for The Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors to emerge, they'll be fantastic.
