I’ve not seen much of the new Dr. Who. I grew up a Tom Baker fan and have even gotten the wife to watch a few of the old episodes (gotta love Netflix). Incredibly campy in retrospect, but still fun.
You’ve heard me rail against the recent iterations of Star Trek, haven’t you? Socialist utopianism gone wild and boring to boot.
I've watched all the Doctor Who episodes from Jon Pertwee through Sylvester McCoy. David Tennant is cast in the same mold as the earlier Doctors. The stories, which are the only reason I watch a show, are as good as the earlier series.
If you liked Tom Baker, you'll also like David Tennant.
Well, Star Trek really went downhill after Roddenberry died and Rick Berman took control of the franchise in the mid 90s to early 2000s, but that's going to change with the new movie in 2009. Berman is gone and they're going back to Star Trek's roots with a film about the original crew when they were fresh out of the academy. Should be fun (unfortunately it took Star Trek: Enterprise's cancelation in 2005 for Paramount to see the writing was on the wall and get rid of Berman)
