Are Fans of the modern "Doctor Who" just outright dumb oder is it just a very naive, clueless teen audience?

Ok.....

I have seen a lot of the "Classic Series", specifically, from the 1st to the 5th Doctor, then for some reason skipped to the 9th and 10th.....and I still think David Tennant is the best actor who has played the Doctor. If Du know so much about the "Classic Series" Du know that Tom Baker was very self centered, and thought everything revolved around him. He was a jackass. Besides this, there are numerous reasons to like David Tennant better than the others, such as Tom Baker. Just because people in this club are saying they like David better doesn't make them "a very naive clueless teen audience." This happens to be, oh my god, the DAVID TENNANT CLUB. Did Du expect all the David Tennant Fans to be raving about Tom Baker? What the hell.

"The Doctor is hot" is a fucking good reason to say Doctor Who is good. Did Du ever stop to think that THAT'S WHY THEY GOT HIM FOR THE PART? Look, just because Du don't think it's a good reason, doesn't mean a fucking thing. Stop being so self centered.

"David Tennant is the best Doctor". Jesus, dude....Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As i mentioned before, I have seen Tom Baker, and I hated him. I much prefer David Tennant. I have my own reasons for this, not like they matter. I suppose that makes me a naive clueless teen.....yeah, well fuck you.

Chill the hell out! I've seen multiple Kommentare you've put on people's Antwort in this club, telling them that Tom Baker is the best, not David. Ok! So Du think Tom was the best. SO WHAT? Other people happen to like David better. Du seem to think that makes them some sort of inferior being Du wouldn't want to sully yourself being associated with.

And, lastly, All this shit you've gepostet should be on the DOCTOR WHO Fan club. This is a club for David Tennant fans. This is a club where people will rave about David Tennant, and tell others that he's the best Doctor they've ever seen. This is a club where people care whether the Doctor is hot, because David Tennant was playing him! (And seriously, if Du don't think David is hot, there's something wrong with you. xD)

Oi....headache.....But seriously....Relax, go find the Doctor Who club. oder the Tom Baker club. oder something....Just go away....

Excuse me?!?!

First off, lemme say that i find people like Du ridiculous and this "question" Is sexist, stupid and extremely offensive.

Second, I understand everyone has an opinion, but calling other, younger Doctor Who Liebhaber quote: dumb, naive and clueless makes Du look really really bad.

Third, THIS IS THE DAVID TENNANT CLUB. Not the Doctor Who club. Yes he was the Tenth Doctor, (and in my opinion he was the best) but it's not strictly Doctor Who. So please, If Du wanna spout BS about the show's viewers, go to the Doctor Who club, I'm sure they'd Liebe to give Du a piece of they're mind as well.

Fourth, Good Tv? Listen, I know the older Doctor Who shows were great and all but, seriously, Tv is Tv, there's good shows and bad shows.

Now I suggest, Du Löschen this GARBAGE Frage and apologize for being rude. But that's just me.

1. The classic series is up to Paul McGann's doctor.
2. I'm a young, non-clueless female and I prefer Classic Who ._.
3. Don't generalize.

People are entitled to their own opinions, stop being hateful and rude. Not everyone has to agree with Du that Tom Baker is the best Doctor. And not everyone who doesn't think Tom Baker is the best, isn't necessarily a teenage girl. I know someone who saw the orginal Doctor Whos when they first aired and his Favorit Doctor is Eccleston. Not everyone is as shallow as Du make them out to be. And not everyone who likes David Tennent is judging him Von his looks.

I don't think criticizing a general audience for enjoying a particular aspect of the Zeigen is fair. And I'd rather Du didn't generalize me and put Fans like me down just because we are 'young teenage girls'. There are plenty of teenagers who have enough concept of the story to understand and form rational opinions.

I found this to be sexist.
1. Just because Fans are "young women" does NOT mean they are clueless and dumb. Stereotyping teen girls is not helping your cause. Du could have sagte "teen" instead, but Du didn't. Teen boys can be the same (except with different aspects of the show), and don't generalize whovian girls to be shallow. Don't stereotype.
2. I myself think that DT is the best doctor as a young woman not because he is "attractive," but because he was witty, exciting, and had so much depth and so many layers.
3. Just because Du think that all young girls are shallow and dumb does not mean Du can't listen to what they have to say. If I stated in the first sentence that I was young, the writer of this piece would've totally ignored this Kommentar just because of there stupid, untrue stereotypes. Judging all teen girls makes Du just as shallow and dumb as Du think young girls are.

Are Fans of the "Golden Age" Doctor Who just outright dumb oder is it just a very sexist, bigoted sef-righteous audience?
I ask this for the following reasons:

1. Tend to be brain-dead sexists who cannot appreciate that the term "best" is subjective and they don't have a monopoly over Doctor Who.

2. Judge the series in superficial terms. Tom Baker is well praised Von the people he happens to agree with. Is that a credible reason as to why Golden Who is good?! I don't think so!

3. Tom Baker is the best Doctor. Have they not seen William Hartnell and any of the original series?

4. Golden Who seems to be an ad hoc jumble of half-baked ideas and special effects to string an otherwise stilted performance together - one which quickly severed DW from being a publically enjoyed Zeigen to a creepy nerd-niche for decades to follow. Whereas the original series (1960s) pushed boundaries, used sparing special effects to tell a story (not to replace it), told each tale for its own sake rather than trying to string along a tired fanbase through recycling, loveable characters and original plots (for the time) that did not rely on an eternal cycle of "ohh bad guy ... (insert tedious misguided series here) ... fixed. Ohh, another, conveniently timed evil arises ... (insert stupid metal dog, and gratuitious daleks here to keep the real Fans from rebelling too loudly) ... fixed again", the so-called golden age was SO! BLIPPING! FORMULAIC!

5. Just listening to some Golden Who fans, it seems as though they're unable to grasp that good TV should transend the sewerage pumped into houses in the 80s. I sense a sacarine addiction and an intelectual laziness.

Because Du are a sexist asshole.

i like david tennant the best but tom baker was also a good doctor and so was uhh wat was his name

I have seen every doctor who and i believe that David Tennant is the best doctor. But I also think Tom Baker, Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston are very good at playing the doctors role.

I've only just recently discovered Doctor Who, and I've just finished the modern seasons, so I haven't seen any of the other Doctor's apart from Chris and David and Matt. I DO think that David Tennant is hot, so I guess Du could call me one of those 'superficial' girls, but I also really like the Schreiben and the plots lines of the stories and would still watch them with another Doctor. I'm just waiting till I have Mehr time to watch the classic Doctors. Hopefully soon! :)

I suppose I am one of the girls Du describe, but to be honest, mate, I've never claimed that David Tennant was the best Doctor of them all - he is the best that I have seen. The series he was in with Billie Piper was my favourite that I have seen. And I am very willing to own up to the fact that I haven't seen much of Doctor Who pre the 9th Doctor. It just isn't that big a deal to me. I like it, and I like watching it when it's on, but I'm not a hardcore fan, which I'm guessing Du are. I agree with Du that the most Kürzlich series of Doctor Who was awful - I'm thinking of giving up on it.

I guess we're just two different types of fan. Let's not fight about it. :)

I started watching Doctor Who with the revival series, but I went back and watched some of the originals per the suggestion of my father (I'd been planning to after I got caught up with the new anyway, but my curiosity got the best of me.) Watching the old ones (especially Tom Baker's era) feels like Lesen a good book from your childhood, oder a book Du should have read in childhood but never did. It's simple and straightforward, but incredibly well-crafted. The newer series is Mehr like watching television. I don't think that the new series is bad, oder that David Tennant is a bad actor (I've watched him in other things and I think he's quite talented.) He did a fine job, in my opinion. Matt Smith is fine, as well, though I had to warm up to both of them. I think the newer series could do with a bit Mehr of the magic, and less of the drama, but I like it all the same.
Most actors and writers today will never have the finesse of the older ones, unfortunately. That isn't to say they aren't decent, but art is a Lost art.
As a side note, I'm a young female as well. Attractiveness has nothing to do with Schauspielen ability. Du can be pretty as they come and as camera-inept as Jake Lloyd in star, sterne Wars Episode I. Not to say that I think the revival actors are inept, but I'm saying that I don't base my choices on whether someone is good-looking oder not. I base it on whether I like it oder not.

Not sure if trolling
oder seriously bigoted.
It seems to be the latter.
Let people enjoy Doctor Who the way they want. TV shows are meant to be enjoyed - what's it to Du if someone else enjoys it a little bit differently than Du do?

Some of the Fans actually like doctor Who as a whole (all the Doctors), but most of them just like David Tennant. The whole point of Doctor Who is not eye candy, it's about the STORYLINE. Take the 1st Doctor, for instance. It started off being about him travelling through Weltraum and time with his granddaughter, not this dude hooking up with girls with the promise of adventure.

Although I am indeed a "young female", I absolutely do not agree with you. Sure, I think Tennant is the best doctor, and I haven't seen any of the classic series, but keep in mind that some of us aren't old enough to have seen the classic series. I've only been watching it for a few months. I am only on the fourth series, but I know I'll eventually get to the classic series. Also, keep in mind how the classic series was CANCELLED. That doesn't sound like it was better than the modern series. Anyways, don't be so quick to judge and make stereotypes. Not everyone who is a Fan of the modern Doctor Who rather than the classic Doctor Who is a "young female who thinks the only reason to watch the Zeigen is that the Doctor is hot and has never seen a good Zeigen in their life". Ever thought of that?

1: It's not our fault that hormones oder whatever forceus to fangirl over David Tennant oder whoever else we fangirl over T_T
2: Yeah... People tend to do that.... And no. It's not a credible reason to be a Whovian. (It is to watch to show, but not to call yourself a Fan of it.) These are the people we call fanGIRLS, not fans. ._.
3: No, we haven't seen the classic series. It's never on TV, and it's pretty much... just.... hbwvibe8yovbqvyb. I dunno. I've never gotten a chance to see it before! (Sorry if I'm completely wrong and being an embarrassment to the entire fandom here! >_>')
4: What are Du talking about? Modern Who has all of that! (except for the sci-fi/fantasy part.) Sounds to me like SOMEONE is fangirl/boy-ing.
5: Again, sounds like someone is fanboy-ing. Different people have different tastes. Just because Du think a TV Zeigen is good, doesn't mean that it's the standard definition. But, yeah, modern humanity in general is just stupid like that on occasion. Same with the short attention span. And for the last part, here's what I'm going to say:
You: *points out that most of the Fans are young/teen girls* *complains that we have a lack of knowledge about Fernsehen history*
Me: -_- Du THINK?!?!?!

I believe your Frage and reasons for advancing with it, are stereotyping modern-day Whovians. I am a Fan of both the classic and modern series. Based on your Sekunde reason for posing this question, who is to say that it is wrong for one to base one's judgement of 'DW' purely on the Doctor's appeal? I mean, I personally Liebe the show, because of the Doc's relationship with various companions, the compelling storylines, the antagonists...
Regarding your third point, it is a matter of opinion as to who the best Doctor is. In my opinion, it goes like this:
1. David Tennant;
2. Tom Baker;
3. Patrick Troughton;
4. Jon Pertwee;
5. Christopher Eccleston;
6. William Hartnell;
7. Matt Smith;
8. Colin Baker;
9. Peter Davison.

I have not yet encountered Seven oder Eight. I am aware many will disagree with my rankings of the Doctor's incarnations, but that does not mean they are 'outright dumb' oder wrong; it's their opinion!
I believe your final point is quite strong, as the entire point of human beings, is that we are all unique and possess the minds to determine our likes and dislikes.
Therefore, my answer to your Frage is: neither; it is a matter of opinion, that forms the judgement of modern-day DW' fans-notwithstanding their not being classic fans.

Oi, what is with die-hard Classic Who Fans and their need to criticize and insult anyone who prefers the newer episodes?

Look. I started out with David Tennant, and he is my Favorit Doctor for many reasons, but I've also went back and saw most of the older episodes as well. And while I did enjoy a great deal of them (Troughton and T. Baker especially), I hardly found them to be any better than the 'reboot'.

Deep characterization? With the exception of The Doctor, Sarah Jane, Jamie, The Brig, and Ace . . . the characterization was not great (sorry). Most of the companions were just there to look cute in a skimpy outfit. Leela could have been an interesting character, but she was reduced to the typical sexy badass who likes to kill - sexily. And the Master, who has become one of the most psychologically complex adversaries to datum during the RTD era, was nothing Mehr than a cookie-cutter villain - goatee and all.

Great writing? Okay, yes, there have been some modern stinkers. But between 1963-1996, they haven't all exactly been gems. Particularly from the 80s onward. Most of it (excluding Douglas Adams' contributions) was flat-out cringe worthy. Sylvester McCoy got the real short stick with that. I mean, when the classic stories were good, they were AMAZING. But when they weren't ... Bleh.

As for the atmosphere, pacing, message, and intelligence, they have been some of the biggest improvements over the Kürzlich years. Before it was mostly good, fun sci-fi. Now it's evolved to be a really gripping, almost cinematic tv-drama full of complex relationships, ingenuitive and inventive stories, and inspiring themes (everyone's important, Du don't need to solve your problems with violence and hate, etc.). [The anti-violence bit was around for most of the show, but it's never been as concrete as it is now]

It sounds like I'm knocking Classic Who, but all I'm trying to do is defend the new series. As someone who wasn't even alive during the classic era, I don't have that sense of nostalgia that seems to be blinding certain Whovians to how much the Zeigen truly has improved. And I Liebe the old stories too. They have this undeniable charm to them that's unmatched, and that's probably how the Zeigen has lasted so long. But I also think that it's unfair to condemn the Kürzlich Doctors and their Fans on the basis of being 'new'.

There's some real good quality tv that you're missing out on because of your bias. Du should keep your mind open and give it another chance. Du powered through Adric, and Colin Baker, and those God-awful 80s sci-fi cliches. How is this any worse?

As for why many people - including myself - favour David Tennant's Doctor? Yes, there are those who might just fancy him for his looks (did that not happen with Peter Davison?). But Mehr importantly, Ten is just so LIKEABLE. He's fun and energetic, passionate, zany, heroic, empathetic ... I could go on. (rant to be continued)

What most annoys me is when people claim to be "fans" of Doctor Who without having ever seen an episode of the classic series. The New Series makes up only 15% of Doctor Who - these modern Fans disregard at least 85% of the show. That doesn't include Bücher and/or audios, either.
They don't know the meaning of the word fan.
I didn't mind Tennant, but my favourite Doctor will always be Tom Baker.
I'm 16.

I think it is unfair to name one Doctor better than the other as every actor who portrayed the Doctor did well. The only things that let the 80's down was JNT and the Schreiben not the actors even though i hate Peri. I know i am 16, but i have watched 95% Who now and i enjoy every doctor. Just unfair to prefer one over the other. Hurts the actors feelings.

Between the being outright dumb and naive, Fans of the new who are probably Mehr towards the naive side of things however, it does bär mentioning that several people, including myself, have seen both "series" and respect David Tennant's Doctor as a well executed role. He may not be the "best" as a lot of Doctor-Debate falls within the realm of personal preference. I absolutely agree with the soap-opera bits, though i would argue that the new who does have its moments, for example "Waters of Mars" leans away from the soap-y format they had fallen into, being a movie. In conclusion, don't judge the modern Who audience on the fangirl portion, who have mostly only watched Who for its attractive men.

What the Hell?!?!?!?! My brother watches that show! Seriously, that is very sexist! I don't watch Doctor Who because Matt Smith is attractive (well yes, but no) I watch Doctor Who because of the reason we all Liebe sci-go shows, time travelling! Aliens! Science!

My best Friends are REALLY REALLY smart, and guess what? They're watching Doctor Who!
Oh yes, my Friends are stupid because they watch Doctor Who and excel in yearr 11 Maths classes when they're Jahr 10's.
And what else do I watch?
- Penguins of Madagascar
- CSI
- CSI NY
- CSI Miami
- NCIS
- Navy CIS LA
- The Mentalist
- Supernatural

Technically I DON'T watch tv because of hot guys, I like Doctor Who as much as my brother, and I am NOT STUPID!!

I don't lack Fernsehen history, in fact I take Doctor Who Quizze on Fanpop. To add to all this, I read Doctor Who fanfiction as well. And I don't care what Du say, I think Matt Smith is an awesome actor who portrays intelligence and personality, he is one of the funniest men I've heard of.
Who's my Favorit comedian? Ricky Gervais. Now please don't tell me that I like him because of his looks, that's very wrong. Also, I like how intelligent Stephen Hawking is, judging someone on how they look is unacceptable.

Don't be sexist, yes I'm 14, I count as "young females".

Thank Du for reading. :D

I also get a bit annoyed when I meet a fellow Whovian (which isn't very often) just to find out that they have only seen NuWho and do not plan on watching ClassicWho. Yes, the typical "fangirl" audience is pretty much like Du describe, and no, they are not real Fans -- Just David Tennant fangirls who only watch the Zeigen for him. We don't need those fans. And, honestly, we don't really need Fans like you, either, if Du think of Doctor Who the way Du say Du do. David Tennant played a good Doctor. I like his portrayal. That does not make someone a bad fan. Du call Fans of only a select number of Doctors "naïve" and "clueless", and yet Du do the same thing. I don't mean to preach (too late), but even though I agree that some Fans are not real fans, I also think that the Doctor is the Doctor. It's all the same cannon, and if Du hate on one of him, Du hate on all of him.

1. I am 30 not that young.
2. I Liebe Dr. Who because from the very beginning he is the answer to making History fun. I wish I had known the series when I was younger.
3. I have seen Tom and the wonderful scarf. I have also seen one, I don't remember who the actor was off the oben, nach oben of my head at 3:30 am but he was being called, "Merlin" David Tennant just ads something for the women to be drawn in to Sci-Fi.
4. Sadly many things change and especially with the change in culture. What was once will never be again however none the less History still repeats itself not to sure how the flip side comes... but just remember this sellerie is cool and that is all.
5. Perhaps Du might not remember but your parents might have thought the same about you. I used to listen to the Backstreet Boys (confesses still have one of their CDs some where) and Hanson, and my parents looked at me like how do Du listen to that crap. I think it is that exact same look I give the teeny boppers when they go ga-ga over Justin Bieber....

First, Du can't possibly know that most New Who Fans are females, and if Du believe that Du do, than, well, pics oder it didn't happen.
Second, as young, rather intelligent male, I actually prefer New Who for being just as intelligent, just as clever, just as poignant as Classic Who, but also for looking Mehr realistic, making the suspension of disbelief easier.
Third, David Tennant displayed a brilliant rage of emotion within a well developed character, don't get me wrong, I like Tom Baker, but David Tennant is unequivocally the best Doctor.
Fourth, like I sagte before, New Who shows all the nuance of Classic Who in prettier packaging, and if Du disagree, well, too bad for you, you're wrong.
Fifth, oh don't bring up that subjective nonsense. Most old Fernsehen shows are rubbish. Which isn't to say modern Fernsehen isn't rubbish, a large amount of it is, but the point is it always has been and always will be- it's directed to the masses, the easily distracted, barely educated masses.
Finally, I'd like to say that if you're going to be the grumpy old man telling the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn, than Du should probably confine it to just that, your yard. The rest of us perfectly intelligent people, young and old, would like to enjoy our Zeigen without Du getting your misery all over it.

I'm so glad to hear about that. I totally agree with you. Jon Pertwee is my favourite doctor of all time. William Hartnell, Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton are certainly Mehr better than David Tennant. I'm sick and tired of modern doctor who fans. I know why many teens and Fan girls are attracted to young the doctor like David and Matt. Modern fans, they don't know anything about classic, it is really shameful. Look like they are not real doctor who fans.

Are Fans of the classic "Doctor Who" just outright pretentious dickholes oder is it just a very close minded hipster audience?

See what I did there? The truth is, we can make generalizations all Tag but in the end we all come out looking like ostentatious fools simply because we all believe "Our Doctor" is the best Doctor. Is it really that difficult to Liebe them all? I find it hard to believe that anyone is a true "Who" Fan when they take issue with any actors portrayal of the Doctor. Stories are meant to develop and change, and the characters with it. I think every one of them has brought something invaluable to the series, I for one am glad that the Doctor and his companions are ever changing, growing, and evolving. Classic and modern are both brilliant in their own respects, and I wouldn't change a thing.

No were not dumb. Were just younger than Du and part of the new generation. If Du don't like us and decide to call us dumb, naive and clueless then your not a proper Doctor Who Fan as us younger PROPER Doctor Who Fans don't insult each other and call each other names because we are Mehr mature. So no, it is just Du who is being dumb and naive. No one else. You. Rant over.

Du really shouldn't have generalized your question, honestly it is just rude. I have seen each and every series of doctor who and have been a Fan since i was 16 years old, while I agree that Tom Baker was an amazing doctor I still rank him as Sekunde to David Tennant. David brought so much fun, excitement and emotion to Doctor Who that Du cannot discount his efforts simply because he is a good looking man! David has so many Fans because he was an incredible doctor and an incredible actor, he could look like a frog for all his Fans would care as long as he kept his Schauspielen skills. While Tom Baker has many Fans and will always be remembered as a Doctor Who legend do not claim other people's opinions to be wrong just because they don't match your own.

Excuse you! Review your reasoning, because it is incredibly faulty. Did Du not watch Blink? This Zeigen has some of the most well-thought out episodes I've ever seen. What Du seem to not understand is that the faster pacing also has room for everyone to develop. oder did Du not watch Rose during the series at all? Did Du not watch the Doctor at all? For your info, I don't believe Eccleston oder Tennant is "hot." So that's struck down. As for all the reasons, I see good pacing, brilliant atmosphere, all that. Except excuse Du mate. Du determine a good Zeigen depending on whether the morals line up with yours? Well then I can't do anything, because Du have a serious case of closed-mindedness. And wait just a minute. What's a smart adult like Du with such fabulous taste doing on Fanpop in the first place? Hm? I'm confused.
But overall, stop and consider your words. Do Du realize how judgmental you're being Von criticizing someone else's taste and automatically lumping them into a group of "stupid?"
Your sensing is Mehr like a serious case of opinion-forcing.

I'm a 16 Jahr old boy Von the way, and tend to like Classic Who better.

"Modern Who seems to be a visual soap opera lacking in substance and depth. Pretty awful Schreiben too. Whereas, the classic series(pre 1981)has deep characterization, great writing, superb atmosphere, nice pacing, positive moral message, good acting, and is an intelligent Sci-Fi/Fantasy show. "

- Although I agree that modern who is Mehr drama than sci-fi, and I Liebe Classic Who, i have NEVER in the 21st century heard somebody claim it had nice pacing oder superb atmosphere. The Schauspielen and Schreiben IS gorgeous, but after that you're just trying to sugar mantel the shit out of it.
- The Moral message has always stayed the same despite the Doctor's character moving far Mehr towards romantic involvement with other characters. It has not clouded the moral focus of the show, simply appealed to new audiences (which is NOT a bad thing)

"David Tennant is the best Doctor. Have they not seen Tom Baker and any of the classic series? "

- Du liking Tom Baker better is in no way proof that it's a 'naive clueless teen audience'. David Tennant was fucking fantastic. He's the best actor to have ever played the Doctor even if many people are Mehr affectionate towards Tom Baker's episodes. Personally my favourite is Peter Davison, but that says nothing about the fanbase at large, and nor does yours oder the that of the 'majority' that Du seem to have made up.

Don't let traditionalism draw Du in. Classic Who is fantastic, and doesn't need to be compared to New Who, and nor do their fanbases.

'Excuse me bitch?' was my first reaction to this post.

Alright, just to start off, I'm a 22 Jahr old man. I have seen almost all of the Doctor Who episodes and in my opinion, David Tennant is the best Doctor. He brought such emotional diversity, he was so immersed in his role that he drew Du into the show. He worked hard to portray the Doctor exactly the way I feel it should've been. He was perfectly eccentric and serious when needed. I actually read today that David Tennant brought the most viewers ever to the show. I also read that David Tennant is the reason Doctor Who has reached its imminent status it has reached in television. Now if Du were bashing Matt Smith, I would be right Von your side because I feel like the Zeigen was horrible for his tenure.

Every one has different reasons to like the show. If some like to watch it because the doctor is hot, then that is their problem not yours and Du shouldn't judge them.

1. there is nothing wrong with a Fan being young, being female oder being a young female
2. I am a 15 Jahr old girl who doesn't judge the series in superficial terms. I'm glad that we now have an older Doctor (now mind Du I have no issues with attractive Doctors but I really don't care much about looks) I do happen to think that David Tennant is hot but that isn't why I watch the Zeigen (it's just a bonus)
3. I don't think David Tennant is the best (he's actually pretty low on my list, but I do like him/his Doctor thought) the earliest of classic Doctors and 7 and 8 are the highest up on my list. I haven't seen all of the classic series but I have seen a lot
4. I like the classic and new series (so I don't fully agree on this point) but I will admit to preferring classic who

LOL ... I find it hilarious that Du would begin a war with people who prefer a different season of a Zeigen Du like. Seriously, that's pretty much what you're doing. It's like screaming at people for liking season 10 of law & order Mehr than season 1. There's no logic in that. Doctor Who episodes are just another story on another Tag that just happens to have a cast change every once in a while. Sounds a lot like a soap opera right? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE HELL IT IS. How can Du complain about it becoming something it was meant to be in the first place? Who the f*** cares who is playing the Doctor at what time? Why does it matter who did what better? At the end of the day, he is the same character in a different body. If Du really feel the need to rampage because Du think the Zeigen has turned to crap, then stop watching and complain to people who give a flying f***. No one likes whiner. I prefer Matt Smith but Du don't see me on here bashing people for liking David the most, do you? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T F****** MATTER WHO PEOPLE LIKE MORE. SO F*** OFF AND TURN OFF YOUR BLOODY TV IF Du DON'T LIKE IT. How's that for a modern who fan!? GERONIMO. B****.

I understand this is your opinion, but it is rude, and I have to say something.
Not all Fan are either. though there are probably some.

1. Not all for us a female. The two people who introduced me are both male. Not to mention that 3 oder 4out of the  6 (that I know of) Fans I know are male.

2. I don't watch it because 'The Doctor is hot' I watch it  because of many other different factors. Also I do not find The Doctor 'hot', I find him Mehr of a good friend Du can trust on making Du feel better.

3. I, personally, have not watched the classics, therefore I can not say  which I think is the better Doctor. For now, to me, David Tennant is.

4. I did not fully understand this part clrealy,for I am young, but from what I do understand, I think that the modren series have all those parts mentioned, in them. Again, I can not say which presents those better for I have not watch the classics.

5. I have a long attention span when it comes to most things, Du can not say many people are like some thing if Du only talk to a few. I do not know the history of Fernsehen because it is not an area I am interested in and it has not been taught at school yet. When it comes to a good show, I think, is is Mehr of preferences  than other things. For example Du could like something I don't, and I would not think it is a good Zeigen but Du do.

Thank you.

I am sorry if there are any grammar, word choose, oder spelling problems. Also, If Du don't understand what I am saying.

Well....I don't think Du could class most of the modern Tag audience as true Whovians, as most won't have watched much of the classic series. Therefore they can only judge on what they have seen. Tennant is the best of the 3 doctors of the modern era. However, in my opinion, it goes.....

Tom Baker
Jon Pertwee
David Tennant
Patrick Troughton
Christopher Eccleston
William Hartnell
Matt Smith
Peter Davison
Paul McGann
Sylvester McCoy
Colin Baker

I see that Du defend your viewpoint Von saying that some people can be quite ignorant and that Du are not being rude, in anyway at all. Pardon me for saying this, but calling people "outright dumb" is rather rude.
People like David Tennant for a whole variety of reasons. Christopher Eccleston and him revived the series for a lot of people and generated interest among a wide range of population.

I don't know who died and made Du King of the Doctor Who fandom, but who are Du to say that a person "cannot" like David Tennant even after watching Tom Baker's era? Cannot?

Du have your own opinions, Du made them heard. Du have no right to command what other people's opinions can be.

I see Du also compare David Tennant Fans with Justin Bieber, which I am not even going to get started on. Du are comparing a spoiled brat with a man who loved the Zeigen so much he chose his career based on the same.

Hi, firstly I'd just like to say it doesn't matter what age Du are when Du watch Doctor Who. Yes, I am a 14 Jahr old girl, that doesn't mean Du can think that all teenage girls are stereotypically superficial and only watch the Zeigen because the Doctor is 'hot'. We (the modern audience) enjoy the Zeigen because of the content, not because of the physical appeal. We all have our own opinion who our favourite Doctor is, and just because we like a specific one doesn't mean we are naïve. I'm also watching Classic Who.
I apologise if this sounded rude in any way, but it doesn't matter if Du like the Zeigen whether it be modern oder classic. As long as Du have a Liebe for Doctor Who, Du can be called a fan.

Jeez, that was harsh.
So, believe it oder not, WE TEENAGERS ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINION. Hate on the THING if Du must but not the Fans of the thing. Don't bash us up. We never did nuffin' to you.
Apparently I am naïve because I reckon David Tennant is the best Doctor. This is a David Tennant club. Duh. Take the fight to the Doctor Who club. I am an ex-teenager anyway, and David is the best so far, in my opinion. I haven't seen any of the Classic Who because it isn't really available where I am. My opinion may oder may not be changed when I see the Classic Serieses. Don't get your knickers in a knot.
Complain if Du must, but to people sharing your opinion and do it nicely. Don't hate on the fans.
Thank you.

okay i just started the new doctor who on friday starting from 05 and i gotta say even though i havent seen the original doctor who i am still becoming a new doctor who Fan and i am a guy, i started watching the series and am beginning to stick with the new who because they bring a new form of cleverness and hilarity to the series while making the references to the older series and right now im finding chris ecclection to be a great doctor but i have yet to see all of tennets and smiths episodes at the moment so dont judge plus i dont see how modern who is a visual soap opera so dont judge any one who watches modern who and are Fans of it as dumb oder a naive, clueless teen, im 21 and watching the series so quit generalizing that its just females that watch the series

Personally, I haven't seen much classic Who (couldn't find much, but have seen some Troughton), and am therefore not a real fan, I guess (but I;m trying!), but I do like David Tennant from what I have seen. I mean, maybe Tom Baker is better, maybe not, but I like Tennant anyway. I'll try to see some Baker for comparison and enjoyment ASAP.
What I take issue with is the "pretty awful writing" part. I Liebe the plotlines of this show, I Liebe the concepts, I Liebe the characters... I don't know if it's good TV Von your standards, metalheadjay, but it sure as heck is Von mine.
Also, I'm male. Just saying.

ok so i'm a dude who Liebe doctor who I've been watching since Ecleston. i know what the other doctors were like i do i promise Du and Tennant is the best. he had great storys and truly emotional scenes but this is MY OPINION Du can hate on me all Du like YOUR OPINION won't change MINE so please just let everyone like who they like but Du will rage on me so go ahead i dare Du

Du see, the new Fans arent that bad. i am 12, and i Liebe the new series. the Zeigen a depth that i feel is great for modern tv, which is lacking in shows today. older who is great, i admit, but new doctor who has such a fun theme to it in the mist of a serious storyline, which is what doctor who was, is, and ever will be. and, as Du know, peter will be coming shortly, so he will weed out of the fake fans

First, just because Du are a "female", doesnt mean Du cant Liebe the show! I am a female doctor who Fan who has Friends who are boys/obsess over doctor who. And those "friends who are boys" dont have an interest in classic who but i have (i watch classic wo Von the way)... it really hurts me that just because of sexism, "I" am the fake fan. I dont watch the Zeigen because i think they are hot. I watch it because i am a sci-fi geek! I Liebe star, sterne wars, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy etc. and Von the way i think that was really sexist. And that Kommentar Du leave in one of the other Kommentare (english is not my native language, there might be a grammatical mistake) really bothers me: a real female fan, hard to see... oder something like that. Du talk like its something really hard to find. Do Du do the same thing to boys as well? Like when a boy says "I Liebe doctor who!" do Du think he might be watching the Zeigen because of hot companions? oder is it something Du only do for females?

Why are Du being so negative? I am a Fan of Doctor Who, and I am a teenage girl, but I don't like it because The Doctor is hot. I like it because I think it is a good Zeigen with good story lines most of the time.
Just because a Fan is a teenager oder a girl doesn't necessarily mean that they are clueless. In fact, quite a lot of the teenage audience happen to be intelligent people who don't waste their time posting negative Kommentare towards the other Doctor Who Fans like Du do. Who's the smarter one really?
Also, so what if someone likes Doctor Who because the Doctor is hot? That's their own business for liking the Zeigen and it has nothing to do with Du oder any of us. If someone wants to like David Tennant Mehr than Tom Baker then let them because it's none of your business. If someone wants to Liebe Matt Smith just because he is conventionally good looking then let them, because it's drawing viewers into the Zeigen and keeping it on our televisions.
As a young female who loves science fiction, especially modern Doctor Who, and not because the actors are hot, I am offended and outraged at this question.
And I can't believe Du would have the STUPIDITY to insult modern Doctor Who in a group full of people who Liebe David Tennant: The best Doctor in modern Doctor Who.
That's just my opinion on that.

Du are being extremely rude Von asking this question, as a loyal Fan to both new who and classic who im am insulted. also i take the first reason to be extremly sexist. i happen to belive that David Tennant is a superb doctor and applaud BBC for making eleven (techically twelve) unique doctors, if Du are going to be so intolerant to change then kindly do NOT make your fellow Fans deal with it.

NO and NO
1 NO, I'm on several DW pages on FB and the ratio is almost 50/50 on gender.
2 The DOCTOR was always hot... that has NOTHING to do with the goodness of the show...
3 David Tennant as all of the other 11 Doctors IS AWSOME... for me... he's a little bit awsome than Baker but just a little.
4 Well... because the writings and actins, like... SUSAN... were sooooo goood and soooo profound... COME ON!!! Susan was a moron who screams... most of the time.
5 I watched a lot of good TV but it seams u Lost your "live and let the other live" lesson in preschool.

sagte that... if u dont like the new DW please stop watching.. u'll make us a favor... so we don't have to listen to u anymore

Though i have not seen the classics i know they're good. Also i am not some naive little girl who just watches it becuase david tennant oder matt smith is hot. I am still just beging my adventure and i admit many of the doctor incarnations(old and new) are good looking i like the Zeigen because it's funny and full of action and adventure. From what i have noticed all incarnations and many companions put meaning into the show. So i'm neutral, from what i have heard tom baker was very good and david tennant is a good doctor too! But i have to say bashing DAVID TENNANT on the DAVID TENNANT CLUB. Du might have started a huge amount of destruction in this club

Are Du kidding me? I watched one Classic Who episode and fell asleep half way through. I will admit Tom Baker did a good job, still. I feel Classic Who was boring, horrible quality, and I am not even going to get into it any Mehr than that. Du are calling me dumb? I am a high honor role student, a great singer, and so much Mehr things that Du probably couldn't even do and your calling me dumb? How rude

First of all, there is a common pattern in DW that whichever Doctor one sees first tends to become the one he/she likes the most. The first one Du see in an adventure registers in your mind as THE Doctor, while the others are just... Doctors.

Second, both the antique series and the modern series have had some very intelligent eps, and also a fair number of near misses, but both shows, on the whole, are silly.

Third, the antique series DID tend to showcase the Doctor as a nearly asexual, but certainly VERY removed character. With Tennant being visibly attractive AND out there horn-dogging every female he meets, it took the Zeigen into a completely different direction... one that only 16 Jahr old girls seem to appreciate. The Doctor was nuttier, Mehr alien and Mehr mysterious in the older series. In the new series, the only "mystery" is "what is his real name?"... as if that ever really mattered. Those of us older Fans miss the Mehr alien, mysterious Doctors and don't identify with the sass-mouthing hipster Doctors who are constantly vaunted for their brilliance, even though Du don't actually see them do much besides wave the sonic schraubendreher around.

Also, I read some of the other answers. The number of times I saw the word "sexist" was very amusing to me.

I agree, but it is generally not a good idea to go into a Tennant Fan club and say he's terrible, no matter how right Du are.

I Liebe how defensive doctor who Fans get when Du criticize the show. the Zeigen is children's Fantasy show, even the writers admit this. it's the Fans that take it over the oben, nach oben and then everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. it's okay for adults to like children's shows, just admit to yourself it's a kid's Zeigen and live in reality. "Of course Doctor Who is a children's show' says Steven Moffat. i find the same reactionary arguments when one criticizes religion. but as for your questions, i don't know about 1, 2, oder 3. but 4 and 5 i absolutely agree with. i grew up with actually good science fiction and doctor who is not science fiction but Fantasy with a magic wand that will fix everything that he'll explain later. doctor who is like red dwarf if red dwarf took itself seriously. seriously it is an embarrassment of british Fernsehen programs if the Zeigen is to be taken seriously.
