'Plus, it scares kids shitless, & I hate kids.'

I may be only 24 years of age but I concur woleheartedly Mr. Brooker.

Christopher Eccleston=most underrated doctor

How is this man able to articulate exactly what i feel about everything?!?!!?!?!?!?

@storageheater TBH I think it might have less to do with Matt Smith and more with Amy Pond, I really don't like her character and I think her lack of chemistry with Matt may be what puts me off since the Doctor's compatibility with his companions is most of what makes DW. Still, there are aspects I like about Matt, he's very articulate, well spoken and has a certain grace that I like. But I just don't think the depth and complexity they brought to the Doctor is there :/

@hinasakukimi The Matt Smith series seems to have taken all his complaints and made them worse - he's far more knowing, far more gurning. If it weren't for the presence of the duller characters (and this is actually a compliment to Rory, less so to Amy) it would be unbearable. As it is, for me he was the first new Dr Who that tipped it back into 'It's for children only.'

Surprisingly I think I'm the only one who dislikes Matt Smith as the doctor the most out of the most recent doctors. :S

mawk, v. To cause to become infested with maggots. Also intr.: to become infested with maggots.

@dogdogcatful But that isn't what Doctor Who is about. Doctor Who is about a silly man who flies through time and space in a box having weird (sometimes exciting sometimes scary) adventures, and that's why, on the whole, the Eccleston and Smith episodes have worked so much better than Tennant's.

@mgsfinalfantasy ...after Sylvester McCoy (though don't watch his first two stories, they're shit and he's crap)

[BillyIsATwat23]

@chocomog35 You know all that hating kids stuff is just part of his act don't you?

[orkavorn]

Scanning through the comments, I'm relieved I wasn't the only one who wasn't very fond of Tennant.

[TheThing88]

To be fair, Tennant's series was easily the worst of the revamped series. Ecclestone's run was quality, and it's only gotten better and better since Steven Moffat came along.
