    I actually liked that season. I very much like Tennant, never understood why people dislike the Eccleston season.

      Same, the mannequin episode is one of my favorites. Wish we’d got more Eccleston, although the latest True Detective turned out wildly anticlimactic he’s still excellent.

      I did enjoy the manequien episode. Personally I thought his portrayal was fine considering it was a revival as a whole, the season was alright. Hot take, I think rose is one of the lesser sidekicks and I personally didn’t care for how much importance she had to the story and how it came to be. I did really like how tenant acted off of her and the story though.

      Granted it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen who, I dropped it after the 12fh doctor cause I didn’t have time to watch but I do intent to pick it back up and I’ll probably do it from the Eccleston season. Maybe I’ll like it better on a second watch.

      Take what I say with a grain of salt cause it also took me 3 tries to get past the first 3 episodes of game of thrones, but after I was all in.

        Indeed, for a while it was more like watching “The Rose Tyler Show” instead of Doctor Who, heh.

        At the same time, Eccleston was my favorite Doctor for a long time. My only complaint was that he was only there for one season!

          I recall him saying he never watched who and wasn’t much interested. Which is why he only decided to do one season.
