LTDW - The Doctors. Again.
I lost my seven thousand word blog on the Doctors. So here it is in a handful of sentences. Because I'm super pissed. I'm going to rewrite what I can remember sometime soon, but not today. Probably not for years. Because FUCK. Eccleston's a good actor, did a decent job as Doctor Who, but left too early to make a real impact.

Eccleston's a good actor, did a decent job as Doctor Who, but left too early to make a real impact. Deserves props for bringing the Doctor to modern audiences in a good way, sometiems felt like a bit of a square peg in a round hole.
Tennant's the fucking man, his farewell was tragic, and he humanized the Doctor. I love the man's work.
Smith tried a bit too hard to be like Tennant in the early goings, but once he settled into the role, the writing and the River Song/Amy Pond/Rory arc of the sixth season became utterly fantastic. His work with Jenna Coleman was fantastic too.
I wish we could've seen more of John Hurt as the Doctor, but as it stands, it's fuckin' John Hurt. He's awesome, the fiftieth Doctor Who special was terrific, and seeing the band mostly back together again was pretty great.
Capaldi looks to be like a fascinating version of the Doctor. Having not seen any of the older gentlemen who played the Doctor in the original series, I can't wait to see the direction the series takes. I'm betting Jenna Coleman stays on for one more season, makes guest appearances after that, and this Doctor takes on more of a kid-friendly role. Wild guesses at best.
Back your shit up as you write, ladies and gentlemen. Always back it up. I'll come back and revisit the Doctor Who blogs in the future, to write more thoughts about the big three and the fiftieth special as well as Smith's mediocre sendoff, but for now, I'm done.
