Umm wasn't the point of GMGTW about 11th Doctor being frightening and powerful? Killing all the cybermen, that thing with the monks and gathering people together for a war? Surely that counts as being frightening... both RTD and Moffat have used that paticluar avenue
yes. I don't think outside was making any claim that Moffat hasn't used these things. he wasn't making an RTD vs SM point. Just that RTD wasn't the first to explore these things.
Lol nebs you have a good point I qqouted the wrong qoute ... sorry outside ... hanging head .... I was reffering to the previous qoute saying that Moffat hasn't the use the idea
Could have been worse - I could come up with another word to rhyme with "Matt" - but I think DS filters it.
How about Matt "the Hat" Smith, or a vairation upon which, in celebration of eleven affection for said item?
I love Nine, as I have all three new Doctors. he was funny and nice, but bloody scary at the same time. He had the alien side to him but in a subteler way than Matt, like when he took to insulting humans as a whole when he got mad. He even made Rose watchable. I very almost stopped watching, but I was ten at the time not used to the idea of a new Doctor in action, and David Tennant at the time was an adult, who my sister loved.
Every time I see that I hear Spike Milligan in my head
I've liked all three in different ways, and was sorry to see the departure of both Eccleston and Tennant. Chris Eccleston I would like to have seen for a bit longer, he wasn't there long enough for me to build any real affection for. Although I liked him prior to that as an actor and I did like his Doctor. I admit I never did quite get my head round the strong accent, it was a bit of stumbling block for me. And, McCoy's would've been too, but I was too busy being a teenage girl in the McCoy years to pay much heed.
Tennant I did get attached to. Didn't always like his stories, or companions but usually liked him. Much as I do like Smith (although I agree with the point further up that he lacks menace) when I go back and watch past DT episodes I still think, oh but I really liked you.
I'm thinking Smith will appeal to me more on his own or with a different assistant. It's been too much like a student flatshare in that Tardis lately.
Re The Doctor being more than just a Timelord Didn't Lady Whatsername in Silver Nemises hint that the seventh Doctor was "much more than just a Timelord" and that he had some sort of secret that she would reveal ?
P.S. I'm not getting into the old argument that D.T was a rubbinsh Doctor, each to their own opinion.
