In RTD's Doctor Who, the Doctor was, for the most part, loved by everyone in the universe. Someone not liking the Doctor was a fairly good indication that they were evil.


In Moffat's Doctor Who, the Doctor tends to be hunted down and imprisoned by everyone in the universe. Not liking the Doctor is not an indication of evilness so much as normality. Being someone who really likes him and wants to see him again makes you rather unusual.


(Just watched the semi-finale last night. Still absorbing it - and desperately need to watch the whole season again...)

RTD's Doctor is Jesus. Moffat's Doctor is Puck.

I just rewatched series 5 and I'm thinking I'll do series 6 tomorrow. Fun fun fun!

*nods a lot*

I think it has to do with RTD not really knowing how to write 'a good man' without putting him on a pedestal. He then tries to knock him off now and again, but he can't *quite* do it, because he's the Doctor and he needs to be The Good Guy...

You watched the semi-finale last week? It was the season finale for us...unless Melbourne is behind by a week. ;-)

I still prefer Mr. Davies' writing of the Doc...and David Tennant's portrayal. Matt Smith is so much unlike him, like an overgrown child.
He's growing on me after a few seasons, but I still long for DT. :-(
Oh, and the ending of this season....that was jusy annoying. How many seasons will end in everybody banding together to kill this incarnation of the Doctor? It was too much déja vu for my taste, though the denouément at the end (River Song) made it worth while...even if that was so blatantly over-explained and practically had a powerpoint presentation for the slower American viewers... o_O
