I really like Matt's take on the Doctor.
Best of the new bunch so far, imo.

watched 3 of the episodes last night
I quite like him, and the new companion is gorgeous. I really don't want there to be any romance though, it kind of spoils Doctor Who for me

Edit: I'd rather there was two companions, than just one.

No, the 9th doctor was a lot better
And I don't like a companion cleverer than the doctor. Twice he's tried something in a desperate final moment and twice he failed. Right, that's not to bad. Bad is that twice she tried and twice she did it right.

When did the doctor lose his connection with all the other species so to need a teenager to tell him right?

And those spitfires fighting the Daleks ship. FFS.

Oh god that pissed me off too...
And 'this should pick up the Dalek's signal' and we get a live tv feed from the Dalek ship *cringe*

I was so upset
OK, OK, I know it's scifi, but when it's all fi and not sci I get very crossed. One thing is that The Doctor does fabulous things with his screwdriver and other is that just normal humans use normal planes to go to space.

See, what irked me was not the spitfires in space.
It was how they managed to convert 1930's technology to fly in space in a matter of minutes.

But I still like it, so ner.

Yes, that's what I wanted to mean
Without even the help of the Doctor. Just with a Dalek's robot. I hope they improve. Looking forward to the weeping angels.

But in the Eccleston series
the Doctor was pretty impotent for most of it too. I mean, he even got killed in one episode mid-way through the run.

He might have not been perfect
But at least his companion wasn't better than him, twice in a row.

I liked the 9th doctor
but he looks like he could be my dad's brother. They're scarily identical which made it weird to watch
