What the Doctor Who Writers Think About Over-Obsessive David Tennant Fans

I feel like this was a message from the writers. From S6E6 "The Almost People."

Just thought I'd bring this up. My friend who got me into Doctor Who, now yells that at me whenever we have a long discussion.

Eccleston.

@caroou92 That's a refreshing change.

That's right. David tennant was in his own way an awesome Doctor.

But Matt Smith stands on an even level with him in his own quirky and erratic manner.

I really hate it when people criticize the way Matt Smith plays The Doctor. The Doctor's personality is SUPPOSED to change. Not only is that inevitable in any show that goes on for long enough to change lead actors, but it is PART OF THE FUCKING STORY. He's not playing The Doctor "wrong", HE'S PLAYING HIM HIS OWN WAY.

YES! we certainly have.

This is not to David Tennant fans themselves. This is to the big IDIOTS who say "David Tennant left the show it's not good anymore!" If you say that you are not a doctor who fan, you are a David Tennant fan. Matt Smith is a good doctor but you can't criticize things because they change, change is all what this show is about, by the way this is "Doctor Who" not "The David Tennant Show" Move on!

@Samuel24842 Actually when he said that line, it was actually Tennant's voice, the same way the did the fourth doctor's line(would you like a jelly baby?) right before it. He says "no let it go! we've moved on!" because the tenth doctor didn't want to regenerate at the end.

@Samuel24842 Tennant says it in The Girl in the Fireplace.

Yes, it's sad that we fans know exactly which episode it's from.

[PercyandDuckfan94]

Now I love Matt Smith even more! :D

[Samuel24842]

I'll be honest, the line "hello, I'm the doctor" sounds NOTHING like David Tennant. Are we sure it's not a different doctor like Peter Davison?...but then Matt's line being "no let it go we've moved on" makes no sense. WHY THIS SCENE MAKE NO SENSE??

@caroou92, I've been watching Doctor Who since 1979 - from the Third Doctor on, and I'm with you. Eccleston was the best!

@caroou92 When he says "Fantastic!" I squeal.

It was so sad that his run ended so soon. D:

You're welcome, just know I'm one of them~
