Nope. I'm actually not thinking I want to watch Dr. Who.
See, you might think that, but you're wrong.
Oh come on, don't be like that. It's just annoying and, personally speaking, makes me want to watch it less.
It's quite a good show. I only started watching this year. Sure, it's a little cheesy in the beginning, but that gets better. It's... Hard to describe what makes it so appealing, but, at least for season 2-4, David Tennant definitely helps.
RE: Dr. Who. I'm going to be a crotchety old man, and say The Original Was Better.
Seriously, despite the low budget, the black-and-white, and the rough acting, I really do like the oldest Dr. Who episodes better than the new series. The story flows continually from episode to episode, and isn't all about these neatly-packaged arc-based stories. And unlike the new series, which seems to be cute people travel through time subverting Sci-Fi tropes, the original just told a story, and CREATED the tropes, since none were around yet.
Now, I have friends who are rabid Whovians, whom I let dress me up as the Tom Baker Doctor once...
...and I understand what they like about the new series; it can be really well-written, and strikes a neat balance between fun, horror, and drama. But even after sitting through a few seasons with them, it has not resonated with me the same way that the old one did. The new one almost feels like fanfiction of the old series; exceedingly well-written fan-fiction, but still derivative of it. Possibly because the new one is written by people who grew up watching the old one.
Anyway, them's my 50 cents, such as they are.
