I have a theory, the current doctor when you started watching is your favorite doctor. Would this apply to you? (lemmy.world)

I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith's second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?

I have a weird problem. I start out not liking the new Doctor, but by the time they switch, they have become my favorite. Every time.

I absolutely hated Capaldi at first, but after the infinite loop prison episode, I couldn't imagine any other person ever being the doctor again.

Now I feel the same way about Jodie. She was such a fun Doctor that I'm actually sad to see Tennent back.

Heaven sent is truly one of the best episodes of the series. I was entertained, shocked, amused and sad.

Capaldi is my doctor. Started the series with Eccelston. Love them all, though.

"Came the long way around" is something I've adopted saying because of just how powerful it was when he said it. No one else in my family understands it of course, but it left a lasting impression on me.
