I still haven't solved the mystery of what makes dr who so amazing to people. I've seen most of the 2005 series, but it's like "Well that wasn't too bad but it was really rushed"--every damn episode. It's fun, it's creative, but it's a little lacking in substance overall.

2005 was with Chris Eccleston, right? Yeah, that wasn't the strongest of the Nu-Who series. Eccleston was good, but what Tennant and Smith did with the character was far better, in my opinion. Under Eccleston, the character didn't see much development - and yes, it did often feel rushed as everything was rounded up in a single episode, every time, and he was only contracted for one season. With Tennant as The Doctor, the character saw a lot more subtle development, more complex plots were allowed two episodes, and there were two seasons. When Smith took over, they took this a step further - there were now narratives and mysteries stretching for entire seasons, or even across seasons, and The Doctor began receiving even more development as a character.
I can understand why you feel the way you feel having only seen the 2005 season - but like many shows, the first season wasn't the best, and it went from strength to strength. I think the only section worse than the 2005 season (which I still love anyway) has been very recently, when Smith had Clara as a companion, where it hit somewhat of a rut.

EDIT: In short, I think that the 2005 season was somewhat testing the waters, and when it received a positive response they felt freer to do more with the characters and storylines in following seasons, to an ever-greater extent.

I liked Eccleston.

Hey, I was just confronting you about your habit of opening threads you know you didn't care about just to say no to it. I'm not saying that you should care about every thread posted in Spam, just that you should stop posting in threads you don't care about with such a dumb reply. Hell, before your hiatus you even told someone to die in one of these posts just for not knowing the innerworkings of Spam. Again, not saying you should care just not to post like that in threads you don't care about.And I agree that my response to that was slightly aggressive and unnecessary, therefore prompting your slightly more aggressive response. And for that, I am sorry.

Nobody cares.

I was going to respond to the first part of this post with something along the lines of "People are allowed to have different opinions than you", but then the Guild's wonky quoting combined that with the second half of your post and now I just find this quote amusing.

I agree with you.

It has it's decent moments here and there, but damn some episodes and characters are fuckin terrible.

Loldaleks. I hate those stupid looking things with a passion.

lol the sound is actually really grating, yeah. I get used to it but I feel bad for anyone else listening.

I do think waters of mars or w/e was standout. Also the people on the airplane one.
