Question number one: Any 'Dr Who' fanatics out there?

Question number two: Which Doctor was the best?

[Doug R.]

Tom Baker was the best of the old Doctors, hands down (disclaimer - anyone before Baker was before my time). I watched every post-Baker episode religiously, stubbornly, as the shows kept sucking worse and worse. I even sent PBS money, and they finally pulled the show at the end of that season (I was pissed). I lost interest in the new series after Christopher Eccleston left (one season). I really liked him. Couldn't get into Tennant. If it was Eccleston vs. Tom Baker, I'm not sure who'd win my vote. They were both excellent.

Worse Doctor ever - that other Baker.

I have to second that -- Tom Baker. Maybe the Doctor could go back in time to a month ago and implement Echoman's changes so the hacker couldn't have attacked in the first place.

Related anecdote -- as I was driving my 13yo and 10yo somewhere last night, the conversation drifted to special relativity, and I was explaining about how time dilation increases as you approach lightspeed, but your mass increases as well, so it becomes impossible to break light speed. As we get to our destination, the 10yo asks with a combination of amazing insight and innocence, "So how do time machines work, then?" Me and the 13yo: "Ummm... they DON'T! That's kind of the point."
