FUS needs a Doctor Who thread. I've started watching the reboot series lately and I am hooked. Three episodes away from the finale of season 2. I heard it's a real tearjerker.
I love David Tennant. <3

I kinda liked Doctor 9 (Christopher Eccleston) the best.

I actually really liked Christopher Eccleston a lot myself. I had to take a break from watching for a few days to mourn Nine's regeniration.
But then I quickly got over it once I started watching Ten.

Ten is pretty good too.
I've only seen one episode with Eleven.

Doctor Who is about the Doctor, who is a Time Lord, the Last of the Time Lords. Essentially, the series is about is about the Doctor and his companion(s) traveling through space and time in the Doctor's TARDIS. (Time And Relative Dimension In Space). There are many enemies throughout the series.
Also, time isn't so much Cause and Effect, more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff. Basically, you could go back in time and be the cause of something BIG that happened through history, so you aren't changing it because you were always the one to create the event in the normal, correct timeline.
Another thing. There are points in history AND in the future that are FIXED or FLUX. Flux points can be changed without all of time and space being destroyed (Which, if it does happen, then all of time will happen at once, until all of it vanishes.) Fixed points must ALWAYS happen throughout time, otherwise [INSERT EXPLOSION HERE]

Personally, Doctor #10 is overrated to me, mostly because of the writing and not Tennant's performance.
Nu-Who doesn't really do much for me. Been watching it since it started up back in 2005 and while that first season certainly started off promising, by the second season I was getting turned off by it, mianly because Russel T Davies is terrible at writing the end-of-season stories. A huge pay off for the first part and falling flat when it comes to resolving it, it's a joke, pretty much "Let's press the reset button!" Seriously, they actually used that for one of them. Plus in the five years RTD was in charge, he used the Daleks for the finale three times and The Master twice.
Bottom line is I'm a fan of Classic Who, when the series was broadcast between 1963-1989. Those 26 years are the backbone of Nu-Who and despite it's low budget (which they could do some amazing things with), there are some true gems in the show's rich history which most fans of Nu-Who are not willing to hunt down.
Steven Moffat on the other hand has made the show watchable for me again, while there's still things I'm not liking during his era (as there are things from ALL eras of the series I like and dislike), to me Moffat has a better grasp for the series then RTD did. Plus during RTD's run, Moffat had written most of the best stories.

"The Devil Inside is the new scam from director William Something Something. The movie stars actors and was edited on a computer. Somewhere. This movie is the latest film in a series of very low budget films designed to look like real movies! And be released in theaters to make a quick buck via a horribly off kilter budget to profit ratio that the general public seem to be stupidly unaware of! These films use to be called 'direct to video' but now they are called 'first run features'. These films then vanish from the theaters, like a rapist leaving the scene of a crime." - Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia
