Or are you still stuck on the latest one? Did you even know he could regenerate?
Do you still morn for your favorite one? Will Tom Baker forever be the Doctor for you? How about Eccleston? Or did David Tennant just knock your socks off?
Here is a GREAT artical about the show. And the problems presented by the next change

Or... are you like me and afraid we're down to only 2 more Doctors after this???
Or do you believe (like I hope) that the change from Eccleston to Tennant might've also reset the regeration "clock" and maybe taken this totally out of the question, and he'll regenerate for years.
After all, we saw the Master come back.

I thought they killed off the master in the Doctor who movie (Paul McGain),and was going to have a new seires with McGain. altough it would be fun to have a dr who special with Tom B., Peter D, Colin B., Sevester Mcoy, Paul McGain, David Trent, the the 2 newest Drs as a 9 Doctor who movie, and they team up to battle an arch Vivalns, and confront a new delima and some who regenaraite gallafrey back to life, and have his home panet and finds out the other timelords were in a diffrent dimention still alive and not all killed of as the dr thought he was.

The Master was always getting killed and then mysteriously reapearing alive back in the 80's series so it's not anything new. We didn't really see the Master actually get killed in the TV movie did we? just the body he'd borrowed and the 'essence' he'd become being sucked into the Tardis. What's to say that before his reaperence he hadn't somehow escaped, and gained a new body - he'd somehow regained the ability to regenerate and get reconised as an actual Time Lord again after all.

I will always be a Tom Baker fan as he was the Doctor I grew up with. I liked Eccleston though and wished he had stayed on for a bit longer. But in saying that Tennant did the role justice.
I am just glad that they revived the series and hope it it with us for many more years. I do wonder what they are going to do when the Doctor reaches his last regeneration.
I just watched the Easter Special tonight and it hints at the Master returning again. The next three specials look as if they are taking on the darker tone again.
Can't wait for them

Yeah, I like Tom too, he was also my first Doctor, and while Eccleston was alright, I can't say I liked him as much as Tennant, and the fact that he just won't keep a job more than a season....
The roomie will be looking for a Torrent of todays show ASAP!

It was not a great special, more a filler episode. Just the very last scenes set up the story arc for the next ones which will lead to the new Doctor,Matt Smith.
I hope it will be worth the wait but then we will have the new Torchwood episodes here to kill the time.

Another Who fan - fantastic! I do love Dr Who - I am from the Tom Baker era but my kids adore Dr Who, we had to hide the fact that David Tennant was leaving the role of Dr Who from Niamh (7) as she adores him but luckily she is quite looking forward to the new Dr. As for the number of regenerations I do not think that will be too much of a sticking point - Dr Who is not going to disappear - there will be some twist to the rules! xxx

I'm like the Brig - wonderful fellow, all of him.
Yeah, I actually can understand people's take on the Doctor. Its just that I totally LOVE the regenerations and the whole concept, so while I might love just a few of the actors who've played him, I accept all of him.

I am ready for the new doctor. I have watched both the old and the new seris since the 1980's. I have no favorates, all of the actors have been good at what they do. AS for the serises contuing, I think they may stop at two more doctors but they could alwasys decied to bring a 13 one in someway.

I like them all too, but I have to say that I love Tom, Peter and David the best.
It was 12 regenerations, so that's 13 Doctors, but the talk I'm hearing in fandom is that maybe the "Eye of Harmony" regeneration for Eccleston might've reset the regenerations back to the first one, or even removed the limiting all together.

Tom Baker was by far the best "Doctor." The series would air in bits and pieces on my local PBS station and there are a lot of episodes I missed so I am delighted to have discovered that Netflix has them available on DVD.

I haven't watched that show in years, I don't even know if it is still playing on our cable channels.

There have been rumblings in Whovian fandom that when Nine survived the Time War, and was the only one left (so we thought then!) its sort of cancelled out the 13 regens thing because the rules and the laws of Gallifrey don't apply because its no longer there.
Whatever - I'm sure they can find some timey whimey way round it!
I watched Tom Baker and Peter Davison as a kid, but my Doctor is Chris Eccleston. Who I worship. Its the ears....!

Tom Baker is my favorite, but Tennant is the BOMB! I love his Doctor! I don't like Eccleston, he never intended to stay. Tho, I do think that taking the TARDIS whatever may have "reset" the regenerations and we get another 12 out of that anyway... we'll see what happens, I can see a REALLY COOL scene where he thinks its the end, everyone is all teary and then BAM he regenerates!

Whats wrong with not intending to stay?! He did the job for nine months, which is a pretty long acting job and he was only ever signed on for one series in the first place.
(Defends her Doctor...!...lol)
I like DT too, I just thought Chris gave it a depth no one else has - but I was a Chris Eccleston fan long before Doctor who anyway, so...!
