Has there been any word on when the Syfy-butchered version of the end of Tennant's/start of Smith's reign will hit Syfy, for those of us too poor to afford Dish Network's pricing of BBC America?

Im sorry for those who might no agreee with me but. I think that Russel T Divies was the greatest writer of our time. And that David Tennant is and will forever be the greatest doctor ever. I think that matt smith is wayyy to young to be the doctor, I like the new companion though she is too young as well. I would like to see the others return at some points in the new series though, such as martha, mikey, sarah, and jack. I hope they do show up some times. And I just hope they dont dont change everything like the Tardis i think it is perfect as it is! I dont like the new logo. I hate all this change!!!!

I don’t like the new logo, I’m quite attached to the old one. I like the warm colours of it. This new one is very cold and sterile looking. And they’d better not mess with the theme song.

I’m pretty alright with Matt becoming the next doctor, but my sister isn’t too happy about it (because he looks emo). I think he’s near enough to David for the transition go well.

I think the new logo might be an attempt to return the show to it’s ‘classic’ style. The new writting and story arcs, pioneered by Russell T. Davies, were very different to the style of story arcs used in the classic series. The current series uses ‘key story’ words or phrases like “Bad Wolf” or “Harold Saxon” or “the bees are disappearing”. Perhaps there won’t be a story arc like what we’ve been used to since 2005, but rather a story arc that’s more like a serial with many stories adding up to a large story rather than a small hint of something adding up to the series finale.

Ya know Shamose Doctor Who is one of the only shows that I totally dig the change factor. Its written into the Doctors personality as he constantly changes to avoid death and or serious dilemma.
^
We were lucky to get 3 seasons of Tennant… Totally ready for the new guy,,, as I know the folks behind the scenes will continue to amaze us,,, v.

Evoryone was iffy about tennant being cast when he was first announced so I say we give Matt a chance

I never cared for the “almond” logo. This one is clever and I like the clean design.

(I, too, will miss Tennant. What a gem he was to the DW crown).

Well I’ll tune in and give it a chance. This run has been watchable this far.

Yeah 790, I miss Cushing. Fortunately Lee has a number of things out I haven’t seen yet. I’m aware he has a role in “Alice in Wonderland” coming soon. It’s probably small though, just a voice over I’d guess.

What shall I say,at lest I don’t be quite sure of the new change,which I mean in my heart I always think DT fits Doctor quite well,and BBC should never made such a change.But then I think why not get something new?Maybe MS can do better,he’s younger,maybe we can find more passion from him.Whatever,always support Doctor Who.BTW:The new logo looks quite modren…but I prefer the former one,which brought me lots happiness in the past years…

That’s the cool thing about Star Wars , Lucas cast two of the most iconic horror actors of all time with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

Oh wait this is a Doctor Who thread,,, shiiiiiit???

Well Shamose, Big D, in my defense I did see them only once and it was 44 years ago. I do faintly remember some stupid corn in “2150AD.” I think what stood out to me is I would drop in from time to time on Baker’s watch and he just didn’t connect to me like Cushing. Must have been all those doctors Cushing played in the Hammer productions. I bet by the 70′s he was sick of playing the role of DR. or Doctor…

Hey Gavin,I thought that there was only supposed to be 12 Doctors and that was it.

I haven’t seen much of the show recently,but I used to watch it when I was a kid,so obviously my favorite Doctor was Tom Baker,who I believe is probably the most iconic figure and The Doctor,followed by Jon Pertwee.

Peter Davidson was a pretty good Doctor too,but I didn’t really care for Colin Baker,and that’s pretty much where I stopped watching.I have seen a few episodes with David Tennant,thought he was good too.Didn’t even get a chance to see Eccolson because he was gone just as soon as he got there.

As someone who has followed Doctor Who since the days of Jon Pertwee, I can tell you – it’s all about change.

The Doctor Changes (11, actually more times)
The Tardis Changes (Quite a number of Interiors)
The Companions Change (very often)

Even the Timelines and the Villains change. The daleks and cybermen have been redesigned many times over the years. Their origins have changed more than once and most interestingly of all, their entire histories have changed.

For the first three doctors, there was no Davros but from Genesis onwards, almost every story (those set in the past and the future), had him. Essentially dalek history changed – something that needs to be accepted in a show about time-travel.

It’s the ability to constantly change that has kept Doctor Who so interesting for so long.

obviousely you’re not a woman. we just love to watch david. which in addition is why the show will fail. i admit, there were some bad episodes. gee, fear her comes to mind and oh the idiots lantern. but all of season four are good. i just dont like the library ones.but season 3? come on, tinkerbell doctor was just ughh!

If they can do anything close to the greatness of season 3, then the new dr will succeed greatly. in my opinion season 3 was the best over all story line with season 4 being the worst. I can only HOPE they write a good lines of episodes where atleast 90 of them are worth watching, almost half of the last season i fast forwarded though.

i think you’re on to something there. it’s all in the hands of the bbc. moffet is working for them. now they have their robert pattinson wannabe lookalike to get the spoiled teenybopper bucks rolling in for merchandise. i feel this show is heading toward failure. i’m sure there’s a reason why dt and russell quit. there is no way this will last without the older crowd watching.

I certainly believe Doctor Who was percieved as a kids show during the 60s, 70s, and 80′s, but since this recent revival I definetely think the whole show was geared more towards adults.
However, I sense a more sinister plan by the BBC. Get all the adults interested a few years ago, they in turn get all children they know to watch the show, and now with that target audience in place, they will squarely aim their greedy pockets at the child market.
Possibly.

@DrSamBeckett

I feel the same way. With Matt Smith as the doctor and now the new assistant being a younger with a 21yr old assistant, I don’t want it to go the way of Sarah Jane Adventures by becoming very much a kid oriented show.

Although, I always found it interesting that in the UK Doctor Who is considered a kids show.
