Fandom Month Community Notes📝— Dr. Who!
Who is the BEST Doctor?
This month, SciFi Camp is exploring the diverse galaxies of science fiction fandoms! Each of these ‘kingdoms’ has its own subcultures, loves, hatreds, families, and feuds.
This past week, Andrew Sears highlighted Dr. Who and its longevity as a SciFi property by using regeneration to bring in new actors to play the titular Doctor and offering different thematic approaches and narrative departures (and some retreads).

Doctor Who, the Show that Regenerated a Fandom

I like Matt Smith.
There is no best Doctor, because every Doctor has their ups and downs.
Is there one I like more than the others and would choose purely subjectively? Yes. And while I’d love to pick a woman (and it sadly wouldn’t be the Thirteenth Doctor, but the Fugitive Doctor instead), I’m going to go for Eleven.
