September 2nd, 2015 - 6:48pmWow… I’m REALLY surprised at how much people like Capaldi and put it on top! Didn’t expect that at all.
I know that he is very far from Hartnell, but Tennant Doctor was THE Doctor. I mean he was everything the Doctor is supposed to be : a healer and a wise man, joyful, funny, forgiving, but angry and punishing when he had to. He was brilliant. Then I also liked Tennant second incarnation, after Journey’s End, wich was much darker end epic. BUT my favourite Doctor is probably Matt Smith. He was very similar to the tenth, but for some reason, i like it a tiny bit more.
Then my two favourites from the classic era are Davison and McCoy. Probably for similar reasons as above. McCoy also had one of the best season of the classics, and he was wonderful as a clown and a manipulator.
After that, i also really enjoyed T. Baker and Troughton. Great stories and great friendly doctors. And the fearless side of Baker is just awesome.
After that, it’s hard to tell. I enjoyed Hurt but i felt he didn’t had enough lines for his own story. McGann was just average in Doctor Who, but awesome in The Night of the Doctor. Pertwee was pretty good too. Hartnell deserves a good rank foe being the original, but i didn’t really enjoyed him. Sorry. For Jayston, there is not enough to tell, but he was really good imo. One of my.biggest dream about Doctor Who is that they try at least one.season with tje Valeyard as the lead role. He would be evil and try to destroy the universe and the Doctor. Would be interesting.
And finally my two least favourite : Capaldi and C. Baker. Sorry everyone, but Capaldi is just not the Doctor. He is the sum of everything i don’t like in the First and Sixth. He never smiles, he is rude, he save the world but by being a d*ck, especially to Clara. And season 8 is one of the weakest of New Who imo. This Doctor is just highly undriendly. I tried to like him, but i can’t. Let’s see season 9… And Baker… good actor, but why did they made him so insolent? He was really good in season 23 though, but just because he had an even more evil incarnation of himself to face.
Anyway, splendid fellow, all of them!

May 25th, 2015 - 4:33pmI had a hard time picking a favorite Dr. You are right when you said every doctor is the best Dr..But I cant just yet think of the newest doctor as a favorite.
