Hi everyone! I’m new to this forum and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I only recently became a Doctor Who fan this year (since April 2016) when I decided to watch Doctor Who (the NuWho) in order to relax from my stressful period of completing my doctoral dissertation. (I also felt the need to watch THE Doctor en route to becoming a doctor myself. 🙂 ) A few days ago, I finished Season 9 of Doctor Who and watched “The Husbands of River Song’. Even though I love all the doctors (at least in NuWho), I have to say my favorite is Eleventh Doctor, with Ten as a *very* close second, and my favorite companion is Amy. I’m very proud to be a Whovian!
My earliest memory of the Doctor was David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor. I started watching Doctor Who in April 2016 when I was in the midst of the stressful period of completing my doctoral dissertation. I felt like I should watch the Doctor as I did my OWN work to becoming a doctor O:). To be honest, I decided to watch Doctor Who because of David — I was extremely impressed with his performance as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones, and I just had to watch more of him. The first episode I saw was “New Earth” and I was AMAZED at how well David acted, especially during the scene when Cassandra went inside the Doctor and Ten had to act feminine and flamboyant (“YOU LIKE IT!”). I also loved the Ten’s quirkiness, (“New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York!”) In order to fully appreciate and understand the series (at least for NuWho) I decided to start at the beginning of NuWho and watch Chris Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, and I was hooked ever since. I recently just finished Season 9 and watched “The Husbands of River Song” yesterday. The story lines are great (for the most part), the character development are phenomenal, and I enjoyed the Doctor’s performances in all episodes. I totally CANNOT wait for Season 10 and the new companion!!
Finally caught up on all of the Doctor Who episodes, and I must say that even though the Eleventh is my favorite, I absolutely loved Twelve in Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, and The Husbands of River Song. The chemistry between Twelve and River was great, and they acted so cute together. I actually saw more chemistry between the two of them than I did in the minisodes with Eleven and River. I can’t wait for Season 10 now (and I am quite wondrous if we will see the stolen TARDIS in 1950’s diner form again).
