WHO s11e2 “The Ghost Monument”
VOY s7e7 “Body and Soul”
I’m not Bri’ish. One week I decided to learn me some Doctor Who lore and history, seeing as how it’s been on forever and people like it. It must be good right?
I gave up the second night. I’m sorry, but you guys can keep the Doctor.
It’s an aquired taste. Very helter-skelter between actors/show-runners/decades. Meant to appeal to a younger crowd, but also occasionally nightmare inducing.
Some of the stuff i found was interesting. The angel statues was neat.
I stumbled across Doctor Who when I was five years old (Tom Baker, of course) and have been a fan ever since. I had no idea how to recommend it to an adult until just now – thank you!
I’ve run across the question of how to break into Who a few times. Tried to come up with a list of introductory episodes: one that explains the basic premise, one light-hearted, one scary, one message heavy, yadda yadda. But each time, I’d always come back to “The Eleventh Hour” as the best foot forward.
Have you tried the original doctor who? I enjoyed those way more than nu-who; especially the capaldi stuff (which, as much as I liked the actor, the story arcs were just kinda bleh imo). I stopped watching after capaldi regenerated. Out of the nu-who though, I’d say (original) David Tennant/Christopher Eccleston > Matt Smith > capaldi ??? Other nu-whos.
The Doctor is beyond any doubt and I trust them implicitly. Who knows which one you’re even talking to with the other one, there’s at least 17 different versions of them, all of whom have at best a basic idea how humans work beyond the medical stuff.
And then there’s the one [formerly] from Gallifrey.
He became a master of disguise. Surprising that they hadn’t considered the ability until late into the series.
