Space 1999
That was an interesting show about the collapse on a generation ship, right?

YESSSSS DAVID TENNANT TO THE DEATH!!!!!!!!!! God I love the Doctor too. He's easily the most incredibly fictional character in existence, and the most capable too. I love the idea of a lone person silently, selflessly helping thousands and millions of people across time too
I couldn't get into Red Dwarf. It struck me as little more than a sitcom set in space, rather than in an apartment building like Seinfeld.
I prefer SciFi that takes itself at least halfway seriously. That wasn't sci-fi, it was comedy.

Paul McGann (I barely count him, as he was only in one movie version, and if you count him, you have to count Peter Cushing too)
Christopher Eccleston
David Tennant
Matt Smith
So, 'technically'... 12. 13, if you count Richard Hurndall, who played the part in place of the deceased Richard Hartnell in one of the multi-doctor episodes.
I think you missed something in my list...
sorta but not really. It was a moonbase which suffered a nuclear explosion that knocked the moon out of earth orbit and sent it spinning to outer space.
I bought the box set a few years ago.. was crap so returned it. was much better when I first saw it as a 5 year old.
It went all Old Testament on us (predictable if you watched the show).
But the pilot episode was good enough to be a stand alone movie. Excellent sci-fi.
Oh, it was a fantastic show up until Exodus Pt II, which was one of the finest hours of television of any kind, ever. Then it promptly slid, and fell off a cliff at the end of Season 3.
Now it's time to go sleepy-bye you worthless piece of garbage.
Bonus GEEK points to anyone who can name the movie and director for this quote...
GOOGLING IS CHEATING:think:
not it, but it sounds like something Bruce Campbell would've said in Army of Darkness. If I had to guess I would say something by John Carpenter, no clue which one though
I find it sad that what was built up during Russell T Davies was somewhat taken apart last season with Steven Moffat. Most of the emotion and character build-up of The Doctor was removed. Now he is just a smart guy that travels through space and time. He is now a 2 dimensional character.
I absolutely agree with you. The last 3 seasons really developed the Doctor, especially since they followed him from start to finish, and Tennant's acting skills really made it apparent. Nothing against Matt Smith, he's a fine actor, but he just doesn't say Doctor to me, and the new episodes definitely lack a deeper side. I think we can all say we're never going to forget Davies and Tennant.
My favoite David Tennant line was 'I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room.'
Firefly, hands down! Nothing else even comes close in my mind. Alas, it didn't last long.

I don't know WHAT I would do if my middle finger was defective...If not mentioned, another one from the '60's would be The Invaders with Roy Thinnes. Ran for a couple of seasons, and like so much back then, was cutting edge because it was the only edge ! Not up there with The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, but I never missed an episode ! Remember the defective finger
