The 2005 reboot of Doctor Who is one of my favorite tv shows of all time. My favorite Doctor/companion combo has to be The Eleventh doctor and Amy Pond. The Pond era was excellent for all of Stephen Moffet’s twists and turns (some say a bit too much, though). The secret of River Song, the family dynamic, the whole “Silence will fall” storyline, and even the heartbreaking finale of their journey.. it was all soooo good. Like most people, for the longest time, David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor was my favorite, and his short single season run with Donna Noble was considered my favorite. But after a long retrospective, I couldn’t deny the impact that Matt Smith and Karen Gillan has on the franchise. And even though they’ve both gone on to become major players in Hollywood with movies and tv shows under their belts, their 3 seasons of Doctor Who will always be their defining work for me.
