Your Doctor?

While I am building this page up and getting things setup let's start off with your doctor.

When I first started watching Doctor Who and even talking with people about Who the same thing kept coming up? Who is your Doctor? After more and more conversations I found that they meant who was your favorite and for many their favorite was the first Doctor they saw.

I can't say the same. For me I got into Doctor Who because one Friday night I was cleaning out my DVR and there was a Doctor Who Episode that was recorded. The first episode I have seen was the Beast Below and then Time of the Angels. So technically Matt Smith or Doctor # 11 was my first Doctor and should be my favorite. But he is not. Don't get me wrong I like Matt Smith and the way he portrays the Doctor.

I was immediately hooked and got on Netflix and started watching from Season 1 (Doctor 9). I liked Christopher Eccelson and how he portrayed the Doctor and to be honest I wish there was more episodes with him. But he is still not my favorite Doctor.

I am going to skip around a bit. The War Doctor (John Hurt) was an interesting Doctor. I have to say I was enthralled by him. It is funny how he was in 3 episodes and all three explained his character in full and no one has wanted to see more of him. I do think that even though it was explained there could be some episodes with him in it. Something where it is a flashback or something along those lines. Or even a sub series/movie that shows stories of the War Doctor.

So we have covered 9, War Doctor, and 11. That leaves two 10 and 12.

Doctor #12 (Peter Capaldi) I was a little uninterested in at first. Last season (Season 8) I have to say while I liked it I had a hard time following the Doctor. Not the storyline but the actor. It just seemed odd to me and something off. I will say it could be because he was getting his feet under him and getting use to the flow of the show and making it his. So far this season (Season 9) I am more loyal to him than I have been since he came on. But he is still not my favorite.

So that leaves Tenant. Yes he is my favorite. Not my first doctor, he was actually the third and yet my favorite. I love how Tenant portrayed the Doctor and how much fun he brought into it. I love him and the interaction with Rose. I like the other companions but Rose has to be my favorite of them all. I don't know why and could never speak to it in a conversation she just is. It is one of those things that there is no explanation for.

So Doctor 10 or David Tenant is my favorite Doctor and Rose is my favorite Companion. Clara and Martha tied for Second and Amy and Donna tied for third.

Who is your favorite Doctor? Sound off in the comments!
