The Best Episode

Post your favorite episode:
Seeds of Doom

By coincidence, my favorite episode is also The Seeds of Doom. It was the first story that I ever saw back when the classic show used to be ran on The Sci-Fi channel and I have never seen any better. I can't wait for it to be released on dvd someday.

I can't pick one...but by doc-
1- the daleks- brilliantly shot/ powerful/iconic
2- the mind robber- clever
3- the daemons- gothic and epic
4- genesis of the daleks- stands up well today
5- caves of androzani(sp) violent/ emoional journey...lovely
6- timelash- ha ha ha ha er actually the two doctors- Pt steals the show here
7- r. of the daleks- Ace/Doc great combo make this one
8- audio books...I try to forget the fox movie- it was never made
9- the empty child- are you my mummy? Goosebump city.
10-the girl in the fireplace- seet n' sad...beautiful

I'll give it a go by Doctor:

1. The Dalek Invasion of Earth
2. The Invasion
3. Doctor Who and The Silurians
4. The Seeds of Doom
5. Earthshock
6. The Trail of a TimeLord
7. Remembrance of the Daleks
8. The TV Movie by default, I've never listened to an audio
9. Dalek
10. The Stolen Earth (yes, already!)

1st Doctor: The Tenth Planet
3rd Doctor: The Daemons
4th Doxtor: Seeds of Doom
5th Doctor: Black Orchid
6th Doctor: Revelation of the Daleks
7th Doctor: Rememberence of the Daleks
9th Doctor: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
10th Doctor: Turn Left/ The Stolen Earth/ Journey's End

Here's my list going through each Doctor:
1st Doctor: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
2nd Doctor: The Invasion
3rd Doctor: Planet of the Spiders
4th Doctor: Genesis of the Daleks or Terror of the Zygons (I can't decide between them!)
5th Doctor: The Five Doctors (Does it count?)
6th Doctor: Revelation of the Daleks or Attack of the Cybermen (Can't decide!)
7th Doctor: Remembrance of the Daleks or The Curse of Fenric
8th Doctor: Human Resources (Can it count? It's an audio and plus its set in my hometown)
9th Doctor: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways
10th Doctor: The Stolen Earth (Since I couldn't choose every episode from the 10th Doctor's era (I love them all, except Love and Monsters) I had to pick The Stolen Earth)

The Talons of Weng Chiang

Not sure I could pick just one all time favorite but some of my faves (in no particular order but I'll try to pick at least one fave from each Doctor)

Dalek Invasion of Earth
Tomb of the Cybermen
Inferno
Pyramids of Mars
Robots of Death
Earthshock (1st Doctor Who I ever saw)
Revalation of the Daleks
Curse of Fenric
The Empty Child/Doctor Dances
Dalek
Blink
HumanNature/Family of Blood
"The Master" trilogy from Season 3

There's still much classic WHO I've never seen.

The introduction of the classic series on DVD and the new series has re-ignited my interest in a big way.

I want to see weng chiang, but strangely it's not on the internet. You can watch The Twin Dilema, Fear Her, or The TV movie with ease, but the favorite episode of fans and production...

1st: none
2nd: Mind Robber
3rd: Inferno
4th: Any of series 14 (producer Philip Hinchcliffe)
5th: Black Orchid/Caves of Androzoni
6th: prefer the audios
7th: Battlefield
9th: Father's Day
10th: Girl in the Fireplace/Tooth and Claw, Human Nature/Family of Blood, The Stolen Earth

1. the doctors daughter
2. turn left
3. the stollen earth

i like all of them but these 3 the best!

I find myself often going back to the black and white days of Troughton, and especially Hartnell.

There is just something about them that keeps bringing me back, and enjoying most of them.

As for a favorite, cannot pick a single story, much too hard.

army of ghosts/doomsday my wife got tears watching the parting of the ways, but doomsday hit me. so does watching voyage of the damned. why for the life of him can't he hold onto a blonde girl?

Hartnell: Dalek Invasion of Earth

Troughton: The Tomb of the Cybermen

Pertwee: Inferno

Tom Baker: The Talons of Weng-Chiang

Davison: The Caves of Androzani

Colin Baker: The Two Doctors

McCoy: Paradise Towers (Seriously!)

McGann: (I prefer the audios.) Immortal Beloved is my current favorite.

Eccleston: Dalek

Tennant: The Girl In The Fireplace

Totally agree with you on these. As for the 6th Doctor, it would have to be Attack of the Cybermen. It was so outrageously violent...poor Lytton!

I know I've answered this before somewhere else, but I think many of my answers will have changed in the past couple of months, since I've gone back and re-watched many of the old DVDs over again recently. So here's my list, Doctor-by-Doctor. After I post it, I'm going to go dig up my last one and see how they differ.

First Doctor: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
Second Doctor: The Invasion
Third Doctor: The Sea Devils
Fourth Doctor: Genesis of the Daleks
Fifth Doctor: The Caves of Adrozani
Sixth Doctor: Terror of the Vervoids
Seventh Doctor: tie between Remembrance of the Daleks and The Curse of Fenric
Eighth Doctor: given that there's only one televised episode to choose from, well...
Ninth Doctor: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Tenth Doctor: Blink

I have a tough time naming the best episode of the classic series... though off the top of my head, "Pyramids of Mars," "City of Death," and "The Happiness Patrol" were a few of my favorites.

The best episode of the new series is so much easier: "Blink," hands down.

Okay, I'll say it. Anything with Tegan in it.

Especially Kinda and Snakedance, when she has red teeth and red eyes...and that really deep (dare I say sexy) voice.

Mine would be:

1st Doctor- Keys of Marinus
2nd Doctor- Tomb of the Cybermen
3rd Doctor- Inferno
4th Doctor- Talons of Weng-Chiang
5th Doctor- Visitation
6th Doctor- Terror of the Vervoids
7th Doctor- Ghost Light
9th Doctor- Unquiet Dead
10th Doctor- Girl in the Fireplace

Its is hard to pick one, but I'll try and I'll tell you why. I'm going with Ambassadors of Death because it's a great story that represents all of Doctor Who's best attributes:

!. A charismatic Doctor.
2. A competent assistant/companion.
3. A setting and scenario that even a non-Who fan can relate to.
4. An outer space threat that is not an invasion.
5. A fully realized story that doesn't feel rushed or padded.

I realize that a lot of stories could fit this criteria, but I often go back to this one myself when I want to watch a Who and can't decide.

It's a toss-up for me...

I'm partial to the following two:

Nightmare of Eden
Horns of Nimon

Keith Bradbury
Who North America

My fav eps are:

1. The Five Doctors
2. Ghostlight
3. Enlightenment
4. Revelation of the Daleks
5. Stones of Blood
6. Android Invasion
7. Planet of the Spiders
8. The Mind Robber
9. The War Machines
10. Dragonfire
11. Castrovalva
12. Brain of Morbius
13. Monster of Peladon
14. Pyramids of Mars
15. The Robots of Death

I hear you, brother.

If only they had done a "Time Crash 2" this year...with Tegan and early Donna on board.

As far as best episodes, having rewatched some No. 9 this past weekend, I have to say "The Empty Child" two-parter holds up even better than I remembered. All those Torchwood episodes made me forget what a good character Captain Jack once was.

So many awesome episodes! Here's a few of my faves:

Midnight
The Next Doctor
Smith and Jones
Human Nature/Family of Blood
The Unicorn and the Wasp
Gridlock
...and I could probably list the rest of Tennant's run here too...

I'm a huge fan of Sunmakers too. I know a lot of other people would not classify this as a fan fav, but if you could see all the layers and layers of red tape and taxation we have to maneuver through just to sell you a product, you'd want to toss the tax man off a few tall buildings yourself.
