Am I supposed to take this character seriously? Or how about the Daleks? How are they menacing in any way whatsoever? Garbage cans with plungers coming out of them. For example, in the Eccleston season, the second episode "The End of the World" features a character that is nothing but skin stretched out and flat with a face and it looks so cheap and terrible that it makes me laugh uncomfortably every time I see it. This collection of special HD episodes represents some of his finest work as the adventurous time-traveler. Something about the combination of weird costumes and out-there concepts for the villains the Doctor faces make the whole thing feel really lame to me. Scottish actor David Tennant, known for his theater work with the Royal Shakespeare Company and performances in the films Casanova and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, became the tenth Doctor in 2005. Ditto for the companions.īut really it is the silliness factor of it all that I can't get past. None of them grab me and hold my attention at all. The dryness in their deliveries, the rudeness most seem to have for their companions. While I have enjoyed most of these fine actors in other things, something about this character just angers me. I have started with every Doctor imaginable: Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Tom Baker, Jodie Whittaker, and even William Hartnell. Every single time I try to start, I make it about 3 episodes before I am ready to pull my hair out. More times than I can count now, friends, colleagues here at BC, strangers on the street, and customers in my comic shop have told me how special and unique Doctor Who is, how watching it makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger. Maybe I am not as into sci-fi as I always thought I was.
