Finally saw Doctor Who (What is your favortie Doctor moment)

[Invictus ChiKen]

Count me as a fan as of now...

Not sure what the episode title was but the part that won me over was when this fat over weight British conservative that reminded me of my own father yelled

"I AM TALKING!"

To which the Good Doctor replied.

"AND I AM NOT LISTENING!"

So what is everyone else's favorite Doctor moment?

[NecronLord]

"The Idiot's Lantern" that one.

[Invictus ChiKen]

Thanks Necron Lord

[Crazedwraith]

"The Idiot's Lantern" that one.

Indeed, Series 2 counting from the recent rebirth or series 28 for the purists. Not even one of the better episodes.

Some of the better moments I feel are the Doctor's joy at the end of "Doctor Dances" that EVERYONE LIVES! JUST THIS ONCE! EVERYONE LIVES!

For darker in tone, the scene when the Doctor prepares to blast the last Dalek in existence in "Dalek" where the Dalek says to him:

"You would have made a good Dalek"

For Tennant who perhaps you can tell I don't like as much as Eccleston, despite his obvious enthusiasm for the role. I am rather partial the first Children in Need special where he tries to explain to Rose about Regeneration.

And in "The Chrismas Invasion":

"Saving the world in a dressing gown, how very Arthur Dent of me. Now there was a nice chap...."

I wonder if they would make a proper Doctor Who/HHGttG crossover. Maybe one of the feature length specials next year... God, that would be awesome

[NecronLord]

I'm not sure if I can think of a particular favourite moment.

"Everybody lives rose" is definately up there.

[Enigma]

Any idea when the current season(series) will show up on CBC? I have a sinking feeling it won't show up until either late summer or early next year.

[FaxModem1]

Doctor:I'll you what I'm going to do. I'm going to save Rose Tyler. Then I'm going to save the Earth from the Dalek fleet. And just to finish off, I'm going to wipe out every stinking one of you.

Dalek:But you have no weapons, no plan!

Doctor:Yeah, and doesn't that scare you to death. Rose?

Rose:Yes, Doctor?

Doctor:I'm coming to get you.

I love that scene, no matter how many times I watch it.

[Darth Raptor]

I don't think I've ever seen a whole episode of DW, but I watch it occasionally when I'm channel surfing. There's some downright scary stuff. Like the one with the evil angel statues that can move when no one's looking? That gave me fucking nightmares. I'm serious. Sure, it's a stupid idea. But it's also deeply disturbing and totally served its role as a suspense and horror device.

[Admiral Valdemar]

"Blink" was one of the best DW episodes ever. Moffat is just such a talented writer for anything original in the series. And it freaked me out too, so you're not alone with that. Does far more than gore or excessive CGI ever does, since I've yet to see an alien species in TV sci-fi that rivals those angels in effect.

Favorite Doctor Moments?

Gentlemen, I know you are focusing on only the 9th and 10th Doctors, but there is a wealth of comedic moments from the earlier series.

For example, Tom Baker's Doctor was the one who immortalized the retort to Dalek Superiority: "Then why can't you climb up stairs?"
(We know the answer to that one now, but THEN it was funny)

Baker's Doctor also is the one who knocked on the door to the Evil Villian's lair during a rainstorm and politely asked if they had a cuppa sugar he could borrow. I think that episode was "Mobeus".

Pertwee also had his moments, although his Doctor was stuck on Earth because the Tardis broke down. He got to play with UNIT, was the incarnation SarahJane first met, but the one image that I recall best of Pertwee's Doctor is 'Betsy', his white jalopee that he drove everywhere.

[Admiral Valdemar]

For wit, I can't fault the Fourth, which is why he is my favourite of the classic series. Baker just always reminded me of an eccentric uncle I have (don't we all?) and just the way he went about things was unique. I can't give a single instance, but as with the Ninth and Tenth, I love the personality that goes with the reputation.

[Batman]

I only KNOW the 9th and 10th Doctors so excuse me for not mentioning his earlier incarnations but even within those mere three seasons there are so many good moments I'm not sure I can pick a BEST one (though, as others have mentioned, 'Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!' would be pretty high on that list, as is the one FaxModem1 mentioned).
Another nice one from 'The Doctor Dances' is 'Shut the door, will you? Your ship's gonna blow up, there's gonna be a draft.'

[LadyTevar]

If I have to chose any one moment from the current series, my choice is very easy. Dalek-Cybermen Smack-Talk, ending with Rose's simple taunt. "4 million Cybermen, no problem. One Doctor ... now you're scared."

[Admiral Valdemar]

I think the best dialogue in "Doomsday" was between the Cult of Skaro and the Cybers. As Mickey said, it was like witnessing an argument between the talking clock and Stephen Hawking.

Controller: Attention! You have declared war upon the Cybermen!
Sec: This is not war! This is Pest Control!

Controller: There are four million cybermen on this planet! How many are you?
Sec:... Four!
Cybermen: You would destroy the cybermen with four Daleks?
Sec: We would destroy the Cybermen with One Dalek!

[NecronLord]

For example, Tom Baker's Doctor was the one who immortalized the retort to Dalek Superiority: "Then why can't you climb up stairs?"
(We know the answer to that one now, but THEN it was funny

It was actually a duct about a foot wide; the new ones couldn't get through it either.

Which is why the Doctor had to duck real fast to avoid getting shot

[Manus Celer Dei]

"PROVE YOURSELF, DOCTOR! WHAT ARE YOU? COWARD OR KILLER?"
"...Coward, any day!"

[Admiral Valdemar]

[Martha has "Mr. Saxon" on her phone. The doctor takes it from her]
The Doctor: I'm here.

The Master: [the Master looks up from the speaker phone, takes his cell phone out of his pocket and turns it on] Doctor.

The Doctor: Master.

The Master: [smiles] I love it when you say my name.

The Doctor: You chose it. A psychiatrist's field day.

The Master: As you chose yours. The man who makes people better. How sanctimonious is that?

The Doctor: So! Prime Minister, then.

The Master: I know! It's good, isn't it?

The Doctor: Who are those creatures? Because they're not the Toclafane; that's just a made-up name like the bogeyman.

The Master: Do you remember all those made-up tales about the Toclafane when we were kids? Back home? Where IS it, Doctor?

The Doctor: [pause] Gone.

The Master: [standing up in disbelief] How can Gallifrey be GONE?

The Doctor: [pause] It burnt.

The Master: And the Time Lords?

The Doctor: Dead.

[pause]
The Doctor: And the Daleks. More or less. What happened to you?

The Master: The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. I made myself human so they would never find me. Because... because I was so scared.

The Doctor: I know.

The Master: ALL of them? But not YOU. Which must mean...

The Doctor: I was the only one who could end it. And I tried. I did. I tried everything.

The Master: What did it feel like, though? Two almighty civilizations, burning.

[sighs at the thought]
The Master: Oh, tell me, how did that feel?

The Doctor: Stop it!

The Master: You must have been like God.

The Doctor: I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see? All we've got is each other!

The Master: Are you asking me out on a date?

QFT +1 IBL

[El Moose Monstero]

To focus on the most recent, as that's what I'm most familiar with.

Rose watching the remnants of the Earth, 'Everybody Lives...', the hologram scene, the fore-mentioned 'coward or killer' (pretty much that whole scene).

Rose and the Doctor saying goodbye at Doomsday choked me up something rotten.

Derek Jacobi when the watch comes out for the first time.

The ones that spring to mind anyway; mainly from the first of the new series, I have to say. I actually like Tenant's doctor, but Ecclestone got the better lines.

[Enigma]

What is the Cruciform?

[Batman]

Rose and the Doctor saying goodbye at Doomsday choked me up something rotten.

The question was which moment was your favourite. Not which one was most likely to inspire you to go see to it that nobody ever hurts Rose Tyler like that ever again and if reuniting her with The Doctor means destroying an uninhabited galaxy or two WHO THE HELL CARES?

Sorry. Being one myself I have a soft spot for fictional characters.

[Patrick Degan]

Favourite moment? Too many to list.

The Doctor explaining the TARDIS to Stephen Taylor ("The Time Meddler"): That switch there is the dematerialiser control, and that switch over yonder is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda in it. Sheer poetry, my boy. Now stop bothering me.

Three from "The War Games" —one in which the Doctor telekinetically assembles a thought-cube, containing the entire mental record of his experiences on the planet of the wargammes, then dematerialising it to send it into the time vortex. The next being the descent of the Time Lords. The third being the pronouncement of their verdict upon the War Lord: A forcefield has been placed around you, and around your planet, trapping it forever. You have been found guilty on all charges. And you and your murderous associates will be dematerialised. It will be as if you had never existed.

From "The Claws Of Axos" —in which the Master agrees to help UNIT deal with Axos when its connection with the Nuton 1 particle accelerator threatens to destroy the entire complex, watching him dive full-bore into solving the technical problem before him, and the moment he gets Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart over a barrel by making him decide between destroying the Doctor and Jo Grant along with Axos or allowing Axos to destroy Earth: Which is it to be, Brigadier?

One line of throwaway dialogue in "The Carnival Of Monsters" by Vorg explaining Tellurians (humans) in his Miniscope: The discovery of these little creatures conclusively disproved Voldek's theory that life in the universe is infinitely variable. The writers of Star Trek have devoted reams and reams of bullshit over the years trying to explain humanoids all over their universe while over in Doctor Who the whole problem is disposed of economically by Robert Holmes with a single line in his script. Sure, it's still bullshit from any perspective of scientific realism in the real world but for an in-universe solution nothing beats the exercise of an active wit.

Another line of dialogue from "The Carnival Of Monsters" in which one of the scheming bureaucrats expresses his misgivings over his associate's plan to create chaos to bring about a palace revolution to bring down the administration of President Zarb: One has no wish to be devoured by alien monstrosities, even in the cause of political progress.

Another line from "The Carnival Of Monsters" again displaying the wit of Robert Holmes: Those generators were built by the Eternity Perpetual Company. They were designed to last forever. That's why they went bankrupt.

The Doctor's monologue on the indomitibility of man in "The Ark In Space".

The Doctor giving Sarah a look into alternative time, when he takes her and Lawrence Scarman in the TARDIS to a 1980 in which Sutekh had escaped to destroy the world in 1911 in "The Pyramids Of Mars".

The mindbending contest to the death between the Doctor and Morbius in "The Brain Of Morbius".

The Doctor explaining the TARDIS to Leela in "The Robots Of Death":
Magic, Leela? Magic?

I know. You said there was no such thing as magic

Exactly. To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained.

So, explain to me how this... TARDIS of yours can be bigger on the inside than the outside.

That's because it's insides and outsides are in different dimensions. (holds up two cubes, one larger than the other)Which box is larger?

(Leela points to the bigger one) That one.

(Doctor places the bigger one on top of the console, then brings the smaller one to her and holds it up in front of her face)Now which one is larger?

That one. (Leela points to the one on the console)

But it looks smaller.

That's because it's farther away.

Exactly. If you could have that box that far away and have it here, the larger box would fit inside the smaller one.

(Leela stares incredulous) That's silly.

From "The City Of Death" —the entire scene in which Scaroth is in communion with his time-disjointed selves and one of them (Capt. Tancredi) witnesses the TARDIS dematerialising from Leonard daVinci's studio in Florence, 1505. Count Scarlioni in Paris, 1979, simultaneously living/reliving that moment, whispers to himself: The Doctor is the key. The Doctor... or the girl. Dudley Simpson's composition for piano scoring that scene was one of his best pieces of incidental music in his career for Doctor Who, in one of its best-ever episodes.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Pirate Planet:

just so much fun, and it was written by douglas adams too.

the favorite exact moment was when K-9 rolled up with the cyborg pirate's robotic kill bird.
