Finally got to watch The End Of Time… did Matt say “I’ve had worse” when he felt his nose?! LOL!

@Mickey Glitter – you nutter!

I liked Timothy Dalton as Bond, so I am willing to give anyone a chance.

Dude…Darius? I should have known I’d find you here. =) Howdy!

I am guilty of passing judgment on Matt Smith before seeing him in action. But I’ve totally changed my tune and would marry him in an instant. But only since Pertwee and Troughton are dead, and Sarah! Jane!, Liz, and Jo are just *sob* characters.

S2 of Sarah Jane is on DVD in the US but I have not seen it advertised on BBC America. It’s a good show without being too munchkiny.

I liked Colin Baker, but was never a big fan of Sylvester McCoy in the role. I liked Chris Eccleston, but felt short changed when he left after one season. That being said, I am a huge fan of David Tennant.

Has anyone watched The Sarah-Jane Adventures? I liked the first season, but when are they airing the newer ones in the US?

I guess I really am the only one who likes Colin Baker in both televised and audio-only form. Never watched Doctor Who before the new show started airing on Sci-Fi channel, so I’m a Johnny-Come-Lately. Unlike the majority of them, though, I admit to it.

Matt Smith looks really young, but that’s how things go nowadays. Looking forward to seeing Tenant’s exit and Smith’s rise as the Doctor.

Well put, Shag. I couldn’t agree more. (Right down to your favorite Doctors! Peter Davison remains my favorite.) Some fans have their concerns regarding Matt Smith but, honestly, I am very confident that all of them will be put quickly to rest by the work of Steven Moffat. (Fear not, Parrotzilla!) Once everyone catches a glimpse of Moffat’s direction for the series, they’ll fall in love all over again. Simply put, Moffat’s an incredible screenwriter and an ideal showrunner. The Eleventh Doctor’s reign has all the potential to become legendary.

Wow, this is almost exactly like my own experiences with Doctor Who. I remember those same scenes and feelings with the Baker/Davidson transition.

I am sure Matt smith will be fine once we get a few episodes behind him. What makes me nervous is that Russell T. Davies won’t be there either.

The “Geronimo” thing bothers me…

My biggest problem is that they are doing Daleks again, at least I saw one in the previews.Can we maybe have a season with no Daleks? Just one, please?

Ahh, the fickleness of fandom Personally I can wait for Matt Smith to start his tenure in earnest. I had mild doubts until the moment he appeared in the TARDIS.

And then the trailer for the next season confirmed for me that he is going to be brilliant!

I don’t get how people could be so belligerently dismissive of the man without seeing him actually acting in the role first. Now we’ve seen him and HE IS THE DOCTOR!!!
