For me DW fans are non-conformant.

Most of them have a bit of the 4th Doctor/TB persona.

I exclude the Seventh Doctor... well, on TV anyway. McCoy didn't do
too bad in some of the Big Finish audios... and at least we didn't
have to see him!

Details. Everybody has a favorite (and a least favorite), but in
general, we all like The Doctor, if we didn't we wouldn't be DW fans.

I exclude the 11th Doctor. Starting with stuffing food into his mouth
and then spitting it out again, and then continuing to pull a stupid
face. That was not the Doctor!

Totally ruined what had been my most favorite show to unwatchable. Took
me years, and a friend suggesting I watch first episode with the 12th
Doctor, until I eventually trudged through it.

Everything that had made the series my absolute favorite was just wrong,
missing.

The Timeless Child is so anti-Doctor Who , it takes a wrecking ball

Ha Ha... Matt Smith was good at the stupid face thing alright. He
just has that sort of face! :-)

We all exclude someone though... nobody can love every one of the
Doctor's incarnations. We all have our favourites and not so
favourites...

With the 11th Doctor it was the likes of Amy and Rory that spoilt
that era for me... plus the multi-coloured humpback Daleks! I did
like Matt's Doctor though.

Stupid face is not compatible with the Doctor!

True. But gah, did they have to make it so not-Doctor?

I didn't mind Amy. What did they do that bugged you?

Daleks always had some with different colours. I don't remember
humpbacks. :)

Patrick Troughton.

Jon Pertwee when being physically attacked.

Sylvester McCoy, even when trying not to look stupid, during his main stint
as Doctor.

It took me a while to warm to Matt Smith’s Doctor but I did eventually
“get” the portrayal. Still not sure I’m over the “cliffhanger” in
Dragonfire.

Rory’s revolving ticket to continued existence was annoying but as a
character he was great.

> Daleks always had some with different colours. I don't remember
> humpbacks. :)

The episode was “Victory of the Daleks” and the new Daleks were larger and
had a deeper rear half, and all in casings in bright primary colours. (I
thought of them as Power Ranger Daleks at the time. They looked plasticky
and designed specifically to become a line of toys.)

The idea of the deep rear “hunchback” was that this would be storage for
swappable arms / weapons but the “new paradigm Daleks” got such an adverse
reaction that they never returned except as background props.

Amy started out fine in "The Eleventh Hour", but she turned out to
be a selfish spoilt brat who treated Rory like shit as her arc
developed. For me, Amy & Rory out-stayed their welcome and should
have moved on a lot sooner. (Rory especially, his dying and coming
back to life all the time was silly.)

I love Karen Gillan though, she's hot!

Look again! :-)

A re-design made solely to sell toys.
