Randy Orton RKO’s the titanic outta nowhere!

It was Matt Smith’s Journey To The Center Tardis story that got me interested in classic who. It was the particular scene where Clara sees images of previous doctors walking around the tardis. That got me looking into classic who YT clips which fully got me into the show. I had tried a year prior to this and actually watched Patrick Troughton‘s War Games serial. While plenty long I had an amazing time with his portrayal and the story itself. It wasn’t until I watched Tom Baker that my love for the classic show finally cemented. He’s so close to my personality that I really click with his performance. The one thing that’s so fantastic about Doctor who is you can never go wrong with any of the doctors. Each one brings so many fun and interesting things that it’s hard for me to find a favorite. They’re all the doctor to me. 13 is a distance cousin.

The classic series is definitely not for everyone and it’s definitely a bog to watch sometimes. Especially the first two doctors. While great doctors I do find there story’s way harder to sit through, besides a few absolute gems. If you ever do find yourself interested in the classic series again I’d highly recommend jumping around from doctor to doctor at the start. That’s how I found my interest and looking at a “top 3 stories for each doctor list” on Reddit or Google helped show me what the show had to offer.

As much as I love the classics, new who will always have my heart. My favorite is definitely Matt Smith’s doctor. While some stories could leave a little to be desired I found Matt’s performance eccentric yet charming. 12 was definitely my next favorite with some great story arcs along with some not so great ones. I felt like he gave that character his all and had great companions to back him up for series 9 & 10

I tried my hardest to enjoy Jodie Whittaker doctor but I think the portrayal falls short in a few different ways mostly let down by a poor script. We’ve had a good handful of female characters with great writing come through the show so it’s sad she didn’t get the same opportunity. Out of her entire run there’s only a very select few I’d consider rewatching.
