Burning Questions
Why are all the new doctors trying to do their own version of Tom Baker? Well Matt smith is trying his hardest to be Colin baker.
Why is he so condescending?
Why does he get in people’s personal space and look down at them like an angry parent?
Who in their right mind would travel with this ugly pasty bony jerk?
Why do bad guys cower in fear at the Doctor essentially telling them “Google me bitch”?
Lingering issues
And can we retire the daleks please? if the timelords are wiped out then they should be too. The daleks haven’t been interesting since Genesis of the daleks.
Bring back the sci-fi element and stop with the “Friday the 13th the series” nonsense. Seriously how many stranded aliens are hiding out in semi abandoned flats on this show? Maybe if they googled the Doctor they would know to move into creepy sheds or the woods like proper stranded aliens should.
Get the writing back on track. No more nonsense football games and emasculating every man around. Top caliber writing only i.e. Logopolis, Genesis of the Daleks, Inferno, The horror of fang rock etc.
lastly, no more baby doctors. Men of a certain age only please.

]]>I can’t understand all the negative comments. The show isn’t perfect, but it is still HIGHLY enjoyable - at least as far as I am concerned. I started as someone who knew nothing about this saga, and since I have become a huge fan. Some here have bashed David Tennent’s acting abilities, but I personally stand in awe of what he has done - I most certainly couldn’t bring that much energy to the portrayel and so many subtle nuances. He clearly took the role very seriously.
Everyone has an oppinion, which is fine. But I am just shocked at how much flat-out hate I am seeing directed at new Who. I have started watching the classic episodes and I am equally impressed with those. And purists might dislike the new direction because it is something of a departure from the older episodes - but times change folks. So long as there is a fan base out there who are enjoying the new vision of this series (and there are MANY such people) it certainly can’t be said that it ’sucks.’
My two cents.
]]>1. Writing. I really don’t need to go into it as everyone seems to be fully aware of how bad it is.
2. Actors/character. Chris was okay as the doctor but nothing special. I couldn’t stand Tennant. It was like they turned PeeWee Herman into the Doctor. Seriously, this guy is awful. SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS DOES NOT MAKE YOU A GOOD ACTOR!!!!!! And it looks like Smith is following in David’s footsteps. And all of the companions are as annoying as hell (with the lone exception of Martha).
3. Sexualization of the Doctor: Seriously, at this rate they might as well sign up Jude Law to be the Doctor as he is well versed in hitting on everythign around him. Why is it that the Doctor has to have a relationship with nearly every one of his companions?!?!
4. Why is the Doctor now dumber than his companions?!?! The companions are solving most of the problems now with the Doctor looking like a moron.
No more hour long Russel T Davies political opinion editorials
No more one liners and cracking jokes to ruin the sense of danger.
Stories are taking place off earth
Matt Smith plays it straight
Before I wrote “No villains, no danger, no alien planets, what’s the point?”
It now has all of these elements and I am loving it! Good riddance to Davies
