I'm not going to start Supernatural. Don't have time for another endless series. But I wanted to know what's the deal with those weeping angels and that's how I ended up finally watching some Dr Who.

And I might have watched that BBC Narnia series as a child. At least I remember I once watched one that wasn't the huge modern reboot thing.

there's only the two. the old/bbc and the new

Yeah, then I did. But I admit I probably wouldn't recognize any actors from there anymore if I saw them in a different movie or series.

understandable. but that particular actor does have a distinct facial structure

It was actually his voice that tipped me off. I tend to more easily recognize actors by voice than looks.

lol...i suppose so ^__^

i love love love Supernatural.

i've watched alllll of Doctor Who, from the First Doctor in 1963 to the most recent episode on Sunday of the Thirteenth Doctor. i love them all. (well, the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker, the 80s) is my 3rd favorite.) XD

the Fourth Doctor - yep, scarf Doctor, from 1974-1981 - was my first and favorite doctor. =D

so in your guys' opinion, the older ones are worth watching?

i tried to watch from the beginning once, and it was super boring. there's definitely a bit of nostalgia factor to consider, but the show does get better as it goes on. my suggestion would be if one season isn't doing it for you, try a new doctor. just jump to the actor switch. it'll be fine.

hmmm..maybe I'll do that. but part of my ocd prolly won't let me skip around xD

Think of every new actor time frame as a new series then. The main guy just always happens to be referred as Doctor the same way each main guy on a ship is referred to as Captain.

xD that's one way of looking at it

The older ones seemed a bit dry but I enjoyed them all the same, the few I was able to watch. I remember reading that some of the older episodes have just been lost/destroyed and can't be recovered which is a real shame :(

that is an unfortunate side-effect of age. there are a lot of films/shows that weren't preserved well and will pretty much be lost to us.

I love Tom's Doctor too! I actually bought the official 4th Doctor Scarf from (I think it was) ThinkGeek. And I do love the Sixth. I actually really liked the Seventh, too. Sylvester McCoy was amazing!
