Comments on: Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: The Ten Doctors http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/7889.htm/ We know you love comics. We do, too.

I always loved the fact that he was so goofy and clownish, but then, when no one was looking, there was the glint of something more, often something unsettling, that was lurking underneath. "The Happiness Patrol" was, overall, a fairly crappy serial, but I will always love it for the scene where SM terrifies an assassin into surrendering by insisting that the assassin shoot him.

Me: "C'mon, Doctor Who is on." Friend: "No... it's just some boring sci-fi." Me: "It's not boring. It's funny, well-made, awesome and the main character is smokin' hot." Friend: "I guess." My second vote would have gone to Christopher Eccleston because he was my first Doctor. :-) I voted for because Dave Tennant is hot and it works as a way of talking my friends into watching Doctor Who with me.

That was as a era that the BBC didn't give any of the actors much of the chance. Otherwise I'm sure all 3 would have stayed on the show longer. But I pick Colin Baker if for no other reason "The Two Doctors" is still my favorite multi-doctor episode.

I understand a love for Tennant but I'm sure some portion of the voting can be attributed to his being the current face of Who...

I gave my vote to Tom Baker because he's the doctor I started with, I like Tenant, Pertwee and Thorton also. Another poll where I can’t choose just one but did anyway.

I like many of the others, but the clown is a decent template for some of what David Tennant is doing now. He really perfected the technique of talking to to his enemies and confusing them as a stalling tactic while he works out the day saving plan. Patrick Troughton works for me.

I remember MPT (that's "Maryland Public Television", a Public Broadcasting Station affiliate) running hours and hours of Dr. Who at night, usually all the way through to the early morning on weekends. I had a 13" black & white television, with rabbit ears no less, and I can clearly remember sitting up late at night as a youngster watching the Baker episodes. Great memories.
