It doesn't list the way that Jez and Katja were referring to. And anyway, you live in the US, things are different over here:P

CE, and REAL
 

I also thought that it was a shame they got rid of Christopher Eccleston to fast and i understood that katja's real meant she thought that he was better than all doctors (maybe not so true)

Words are still words. :P

I live in Australia and we use words dynamically as well.

Is there a tiny, tiny section of your great country where people only accept 'real' as 'the opposite of fake'?

Because the rest of the world doesn't.

Nope, just me.:P

Rob I disagree with you. I've said it once and i'll say it again David Tenant is better than Christopher Eccleston.

David Tennant is a lot better than Christopher Eccleston.

I thought Christopher Eccleston quit?

I agree, David Tennant is much better

yeah, he did...for undisclosed reasons wink wink ;)

I'm sure most of the older members know, but I really don't like David Tennant at all. Just looking at him fills me up with anger.

Ronn is a strange person.

Well just look at him. All smiley like that grinning dizzy looking Doctor Tom Baker, and having the 'vunerability' of Davison, and the 'wisdom' of Hartnell, that's what the people say, that he's got a bit of all the old Doctors in him. I'm sorry, but I don't want to see all the old Doctors, I want to see a *new* character, not a medley of all the old ones. There are 100 other reasons I could post but I don't want to. I've said them all at one time or another :P

Yeah well. Just looking at your anger fills Doctor Who with David Tennant.

...Does that make any sense?:P

That's not what Doctor Who, or for that matter, regeneration, is all about. Essentially you're saying you don't like the character of the Doctor, and you'd rather see a different character lead the show.

Well, it worked with the first few Doctors didn't it? They were all different weren't they?...

Not at all. Regeneration was never ever supposed to give us a different character. That's not the point of it!

Yes, I know it's the same person, but personality wise, they contrasted. The 1st and 2nd Doctors were completely different in personality weren't they? As were the rest of the early doctors.

The personalities that emerge each time are completely random. It's only logical that after a while they begin to overlap somewhat.
