Personally I'm thankful for thatWe will never see Eccelston as the Doctor again.
Good.We will never see Eccelston as the Doctor again.
I love the little reference to the EMH.
I thought they have been on very rare occasions?For me it was more the fact that they tried to shoehorn a romance. To me that's contrary to everything the Doctor is about. His companions should never been love interests.
Still. That's the writing. Not the acting. Again very different on how Davies and Moffet see things. I still love how Amy Pond jumps the Doctor at the end of the episode, and he has absolutely no clue what that's all about for a while, and then freaks when he gets it.For me it was more the fact that they tried to shoehorn a romance.

Let's be honest. He never really fully understood what was going on.Still. That's the writing. Not the acting. Again very different on how Davies and Moffet see things.

I think River Song was the perfect woman for the Doctor.Let's be honest. He never really fully understood what was going on.
I'm sure Moffat would call her perfect too. In more ways than just for the Doctor.I think River Song was the perfect woman for the Doctor.
What?I think River Tam was the perfect woman for the Doctor.
It was... not good. I don't think that's Paul McGann's fault at all, though. It was slow, plodding, and ultimately stupid (the Master as a brain slug of some kind? What the?).Just watched the 8th Doctor movie. I'm not sure the guy who wrote it ever watched the original series. To me he looks like a hobbit. I enjoy the original series and the new series, but this to me is a one time thing.
This was back when the networks thought that American audiences just wouldn't get British shows and tried to do American reboots of them. Typically resulting in something gawd awful (Check for the American versions of Red Dwarf and Coupling if you don't believe me). Yeah they still do it for some shows such as The Office, but I think that Americans appreciate British television more across the board now.I remember taping it, watching it, and thinking how silly it was.
I do remember thinking that the guy playing The Doctor was doing his best to hold up the show, but wasn't getting much help.

See, the thing about Coupling is that they didn't alter it in any way. The script for the pilot episode of Coupling was literally word for word exactly the same except for the obvious british terms like flat and such. It kind of goes to show how the cast itself makes a huge difference.This was back when the networks thought that American audiences just wouldn't get British shows and tried to do American reboots of them.

Just be thankful FOX didn't get their wish and an American actor was hired to play the Doctor.
