Indeed, yay for netflix! Unfortunately season 5 is still disc only. I'm planning to rewatch them with comcasts on demand though.

I should have posted in this thread earlier but well, I'm a bit lazy sometimes ;D. Anyway, I have seen all the episodes of the "new" Doctor Who ( none of the original series though ) as well as Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures.
Doctor Who was in fact the first tv serie(s?) that made me start watching episodes in English ( because the french translation was quite terrible ) and since then, I watch most of the shows I like in their original version.
So, out of curiosity, which one of the new doctors is your favorite so far Scotty ? Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant or Matt Smith ?

Oooo, that's tough. I tend to like any Doctor,lol. I do miss Chris Eccleston though, I wish he had done more. Tennant was pretty awesome once I got used to him, although I didn't like how emo they made him at the end. And so far Matt Smith as been pretty cool, liked him from the first episode. I love how bad ass he is sometimes,lol.
Who's your fave?

I started the fifth season I just bought it on amazon's instant access thing, it was only about twelve dollars for the whole season, and I didn't want to wait for the dvds from netflix, I am quite liking Matt Smith, he has a great energy, and he seems a bit more..... hmm... hard then David Tennant played it. I've only watched a few episodes but this season is looking like a really fantastic one. Plus I like the new girl, Karen Gillian, though to be honest I've liked all the girls that have been in the show, I never wanted any of them to leave It seems like as soon as you get used to one character and start to really like them, they get replaced by someone else. but all in all I've really liked all the actors who have played in the new doctor who.

David Tennant was pretty great at conveying emotions with his face ( particularly his eyes ) while Matt Smith uses his body much more ( he's really quite energetic isn't he ? ;D ). I do indeed miss Christopher Eccleston as well, he was perhaps more balanced in his acting than the two doctors that followed. As for the companions, I really liked Donna, she started as a really annoying character but later became a great companion for the tenth doctor.

I feel the same way about "Donna" I was almost disappointed when she first started as the companion because she was sort of irritating, but by the end, she was great. I liked how her character developed.

Yeah, Donna had the best character development on the show...and they made us love her...and then sadistically took her away,lol. I wanted to see more of the Doctor-Donna, but I guess they'd have been too invincible that way.

Just finished the fifth season and the Christmas special. The Christmas special was sort of .... not good, but I liked the little fish swimming around in the air, that was great, everything else, ehh. I enjoyed the fifth season a lot, Matt Smith is a pretty good doctor, I like his quirkiness. I'm going to watch the first new season again and then maybe look into the older episodes, though I'm a little worried they will be too lame after all the special effects of the new seasons.

I've just learned that Elisabeth Sladen ( known as Sarah Jane Smith in the serie ) died of cancer. She was 63, I can't believe how many good people are dying from this terrible disease. Rest in peace, Elisabeth Sladen, you were a great actress with such a positive energy, may you find your place among the stars...

Yeah I wasn't a fan of the Christmas special either. Too much rule breaking,lol. In my classic Who mission I had to jump back a season because The Mutants finally became available. Started slow, but it got better.

This was me watching the new one: "What? Wait!... what!? wtf?? wtf WTF!?" But the aliens where pretty cool, particularly the whole looking at them then looking away thing (don't want to give to much away) The previews for the next one look crazy though. Edit: though, I have too say, I really like the episodes with Alex Kingston (River Song). I really like her character.
