Hello everyone!
 

Hello everyone, I'm Katja from Belgium and I'm happy I found this site... Not many people here know Doctor Who, they've only just started showing it here (the Christopher Eccleston series). It would be nice to find some people here who know that there is more than that, and who might even agree that Tom Baker still is the 'real' doctor...

Oh, and nice to meet you all! :D

Welcome friend, stay safe! :)

welcome to the site, hope you enjoy your stay.

Hi, Katja! Have a wonderful time here! I look forward to chatting with you! :D

Hey
 

Hey ,
Wow the Christopher Ecclestons is only just showing there been a while since that first aired here got to be 2/3years strange i think he was really amazing doctor he had the look to be the doctor looked kinda old and had a good sense of humour ! All in all one great doctor !!!:tardis:!!!

Welcome aboard! Glad you found us.

I thought CE could've been a good Doctor, but he sort of ran away too early.

He was, but did.

Welcome, Katja.

Welcome, Katja! I agree with you about the Fourth Doctor, too! ;)

How can Tom Baker be the real Doctor. There were 7 others........

How can Fry and Laurie be the best comedy duo; there've been so many others.

In my opinion. I didn't say they were the only real comedy duo. Because there are other 'real' comedy duos. Just like there are other 'real' Doctors. They weren't fake, were they?

I didn't say "real". :P

I almost care. :P

Shut up Ronnie.

What have I done?

Maybe 'real' isn't the right word... what I meant is that when someone says "The Doctor", Tom Baker's Doctor is still the first one I think of. He was my first Doctor, and a girl never forgets her first love! ;)
But maybe I should have said best... If you catch me saying strange things, feel free to tell me, I only learned English in school so I'm sure I'll make you laugh sometimes. :rolleyes:

Anyway, thanks for your welcomes. :)

Oh, and since a lot of newbies seem to dissapear from this site: don't worry if you don't hear from me during the week, I usually only have internet access during the weekends (and sometimes on wednesday afternoon)... :(

that's understandable, and don't worry, you're not about to be deleted...maybe exterminated :P

Was I the only one who understood Katja's use of the word "real"? :P :D

I understood it! ;)

I understand 'Real.' It is the opposide of fake. I don't accept any other meanings of "Real."

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.
