I'm excluding the current one now, I don't have him on any
list yet. He needs some actual Doctor scripts, not whatever
they've been doing so far. I want to like him, but they have
yet to give him something brilliant to do, with all the hectic
problem solving while babbling stuff only a Time Lord
understands (possibly).

Yeah, the scripts have generally been a bit of a let-down of
late... when the 15th Doctor got a chance to be THE Doctor, I
thought he showed a lot of promise.

When did he get that chance?

I'm hoping for some more consistency from the scripts in S15/S2.

I'm just hoping for more actual Doctor. :P

Did he run from anything yet?

He doesn't do a lot of running... he does seem to cry a fair bit
though.

And he's supposed to be the one who's recovered from past traumas. Did 
they forget that?

Oh, and he did some singing once too.

Unfortunately.

I wasn't the biggest fan of his main companion
mind you (Clara) but Doctor Who companions in the modern era
tend to be written to make it all about them and their
lives. So I tend to prefer it when the focus is on the
Doctor.

Don't mention Clara. She turned out like the proverbial
visitors and fish.

Well, I wouldn't have said Clara was THAT bad!

She didn't start out bad, but hung around too long.

And almost became some kind of (un-)doctor, can-do-everything-super-
smart. Was she someone's Mary Sue?

I don't feel that way about any other companion of the new
series. There wasn't that much about the others' lives, nor
did they hog the stage so much.

Companions hogging the stage is becoming a bit of a Doctor Who
trope.

Nope, don't see it.

Hopefully that will change when the new season returns in
April.

You think religious nutters will stop posting, or everyone
else will at least stop responding to them?

Well, somebody seems to have quietened them! Either Kermit or
the new fella. This place has been as quiet as a morgue the
last few days. In fact, it's probably the quietest it's ever
been!!!

Kermit? Who's that, and why do you call him that?

New fella? What did he do?

Maybe they have become born again RADW-ers?

Haha.

I never doubted it. The term "impressive" can only apply to
one Doctor!

>
I knew you'd recognize him. :) (And that he's your favorite
classic, too.)

My favourite Doctor, full stop. Jon Pertwee was THE Doctor... as
he sang himself in his hit record of the 1970's! :-)

Ah yes. :)

The excitement level here doesn't seem to have gone much
above zero!  :-)

>
How can you get excited, or even find it, among all the noise?

You have to read between the lines! ;-)

Where you find next to zero, as you said. :P
