I I used to just sit around and be bored all day. But when I saw this show is opened my eyes, I will never leave the show and I love it so much because the plot is just amazing. The characters are all different and they make such funny comments and I just love the way the entire show is made up. My favorite doctor is David Tennant the 10th doctor because he was the funniest and I hope they bring him back another finale. Just like this one even though I didn't see it because I have no money.

I have loved this series since way back from the Tom Baker years ( yeah, I'm that old). When I heard they were ressurecting it, I was worried they would ruin it like Hollywood ruins everything these days, but someone realized that would be a bad thing and kept to the original mythology. This new series has been fantastic, thank you thank you thank you.

I was never much of a sci-fi fan, but this show has changed that. This show makes you so emotionally attached, and gives you a completely different outlook on life. The characters are all so different, the plot is incredible, and sometimes you will end up curled up in a ball crying after season finales. You end up traveling to amazing places, different worlds, different times...all without leaving your seat. I will love this show forever. Words cannot describe my love for this show.
