"The Doctor" was the alias adopted by a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who journeyed through time and space with various companions in his obsolete, stolen, Type 40 TARDIS.
Though largely a believer in non-violent conflict resolution, he was also, on occasion, a great warrior. Indeed, some civilisations in the universe translated the word doctor as warrior, (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) whilst others saw him as a compassionate benefactor, worthy of their admiration and assistance. (DW: Last of the Time Lords, The Wedding of River Song)
He was, however, indisputably responsible for billions of deaths —many of which arose from his conclusion to the Last Great Time War. (DW: Dalek) He was virtually the only Time Lord survivor of that great conflict with the Daleks, largely because it was he alone who ended it by obliterating both races. (DW: The End of Time)
From the latter years of his first incarnation onward, he had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. After departing Gallifrey, he voluntarily chose to spend time on the planet (DW: An Unearthly Child, BFA: Summer, The Haunting of Thomas Brewster) and even owned property in Kent. (DWM: Fellow Travellers, PDA: Verdigris, NA: Warlock, Warchild, The Dying Days, EDA: Mad Dogs and Englishmen and several others) Even before the destruction of Gallifrey, the Doctor spent much more time on Earth than on his own homeworld.

Happy posting, Whovians!
Isn't that the first episode of Part B of Season 6?
That is coming out on Saturday, August 27th at 7:10pm
I can't wait until the second half of the series starts up again. I believe it's this Saturday.
However, the series intersects with the running Torchwood: Miracle Day. I wonder if Torchwood will feature any mention of the Doctor, as so far it's almost identical to a US crime drama. o.O
I never tried to watch torchwood. That gives me a reason to not.
My favorite Doctor has to be the 11th Doctor simply because he's my first Doctor and Matt Smith is amazing. I loved David Tennant as the 10th Doctor as well.
also: I just watched doctor who S6 E4, and he said he killed all the time lords and it was his fold that he was the last one, can anybody explain this? how did it all actually happen?

Since I just started watching the 9th is the only one I seen so far.

Just wait until the 9th Doctor regenerates. I've only watched an episode or two of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, but I think he was pretty decent.

Christopher was decent true, but Tennent just kicks his and Matt smiths ass.
Feeling no love for the Classic Doctors in the poll... I guess I'm the only Second Doctor fan here, shame most of his episodes are missing. Currently watching The Krotons (Yay, a Troughton story with all it's episodes!) and reading Doctor Who and The Cybermen Target novel reprint.(You know, the ones with new introductions from the likes of Gareth Roberts and Neil Gaiman.)
Eh.
Quality issues with some whovians?
I mean a good whovian could get over that but some may be like "UGH ITS NOT COLORED NEVER WATCH HATE DOCTOR"
I missed a good bit of this season due to a busy schedule, but I'm going to catch up on Netflix as soon as I can. Which may be a long time from now.
This season looks to be very exciting, though. And his death at the beginning really got me thinking. If over 200 years he doesn't regenerate, and also doesn't look noticeably older, then how long do his incarnations usually last? How long does he spend in between companions, just roaming on his own? Enough to potentially fill 200 years of time, I suppose.
And furthermore, I simply must know how they're going to write their way out of this. They can't just end the show, after all: it has way too many fans.

Meh, I like this one better:
I just thought of this cause the MLP thread says "All pony stuff goes here" but this thread implies "Doctor who related stuff here"
I don't hate bronies, but this question made me think.
