I feel like the show gets brought up a lot in other places so I figured we could have this!
Tell me about your favorite Doctor or companion. A character that grew on you. A writer you like ( doesn't have to be a main). Etc

Nine. Every time someone says to skip to Ten, I die a little on the inside. No Doctor has ever been able to convince me as much as he did that he was the Doctor.

I never used to say that but I didn't like nine at all at first. Over time that changed a lot especially after watching 8 and getting more back story.

Honestly, I need to watch the Classic series so badly. I need the backstory and I'm sure there's another Doctor out there that I can learn to love. Ten grew on me some and Eleven was okay, but Nine has my heart. Neither of their regenerations made me cry, but Nine did.

There's years of audio dramas but I haven't done those yet. Cried with 8 10 and 11. 11 the most. I was going through a hard time when11 was around. Van Gogh episode still makes me cry.

Nine is so underrated! I would have loved more than one season with Eccleston. I'm super torn between Nine and Ten as my favorite. Nine was my first Doctor, and I love his character. But I have a massive soft spot for and minor fangirl crush on David Tennant as Ten. His chemistry with Rose is my favorite.
One of my favorite companions is Donna, I think she's super underrated too. She has the best lines and I love that she calls the Doctor out on his shenanigans. I also LOVED Bill in this last season, and I'm so sad that we only got one season with her. It was a massive relief to have Clara gone.

badwolf Oh my gosh, the Van Gogh episode. I sob, SOB, every time. That was one of the best 11/Moffat-era episodes, IMO.

I think he brought the Doctor "down to earth" like Donna. So often we see companions who are just in awe of him that don't see his flaws. Then we have Rory who sees the Doctor for who he is. I love Rory.

I shall let katietopaz speak for me, lol. But really I love 9 and I was so angry when he regenerated, I think it took like 5 episodes for me not to rage watch David Tennant but now he stills my fangirl heart. And when 9 and Rose kissed in S1 I fell off my couch, literally, in excitement. I know it gets a lot of hate but I love the Doctor and Rose together. I love 9, 10, and 11 for their own reasons and in their own ways. I have only watched Capaldis first season and I hated it. I always kind felt like they took away what made the Doctor special, in that he loved the human race, ala The Satan Pit, and several episodes I just felt like he hated them or I dunno, it just wasnt right. I plan on bingeing his two other seasons right before the new one starts. I have many complex emotions.

My companions go Rose, Donna, Rory, Martha, Amy, Clara. Though I do feel Martha gets a lot of unnecessary hate, she was a fucking badass. Rory is so also the best, I love how he is just like this shit absurd but lets get it done.

I really didn't like the first two Capaldi seasons, but his last one really did get better. Part of it was the companion change (I didn't realize how much Clara as a companion annoyed me even though I wanted to like her) and I think part of it was that the writing got better. Poor Peter Capaldi - he's one of the nicest people on the planet, and he got dealt a hand of awful writing and showrunning that made his Doctor come off like so much more of a jerk than I'd guess he wanted.

Agreed. This season is the one where I finally warmed up to Capaldi. I watched every time for the writer.... not nearly as much Moffat. I love Rose and the Doctor. So so so so much. I put Amy above Martha on my list just because I love Karen, but she would've been lower if Rory wasn't there with her. I loved how their marriage matured and how Amy in the end chose him over all of it.

+1 to being a fan of Doctor/Rose (Either Nine or Ten)
Donna is also my favorite companion in the rebooted series, I love her lots and thinking about her makes me super sad for how it all shook out.
