No idea, which is why I changed the name of this thread to Eighth "Doctor, canon... needs some Love".

...and he does... poor Doctor!

LOL!

One more thing about the Doctor Who movie...it looks and feels dated.

Every other Doctor Who episode, from the 1960s to the 1970s to the 1980s...even the new series...is timeless.

Granted a couple years from now, the cell phones in the new series will seem like antiques...but overall the episodes will stand the test of time.

The Doctor Who movie however, screams 1996. The opening credits...the way the film looks...very Star Trek the Next Generation...ugh. You can't get away from it.

Take a random classic Who episode. Let's say Silver Nemesis. Yeah, it's late 80s, but doesn't it give you a warm fuzzy feeling when you watch it? I love it!

Not so with the movie. Hate it. It's depressing even, with the morgue/E.R. hospital scenes. The humor and life inherent to Who are not there. It's a mid-nineties American film, and it just doesn't work. Sorry.

Mmmm hmmm and this has turned into an Eighth Doctor love thread now.

Eighth Doctor rocks.

Love the movie.

Doesn't feel dated.

Love Paul McGann, may his time as the Eighth Doctor go on and on...

He just plain ROCKS!

Amen a1.

Eight is awesome and Paul McGann was brilliant as the Doctor. One of the best Doctors there was. Would have loved to see more of him on screen. At least we have his audios and can hear is marvelous voice.

He is a well-refined Doctor.
~

A very aimable Doctor he is.

Definitely. The vast number of audio adventures really helped to refine and define his version of the Doctor. He did a great job to start with in the movie and just kept going with it in the audios.

One who needs a hug after "Orbis".

~

A most agreeable Doctor.

~

Yes yes, I know, all avis of Mr. Bush, but I don't readily have my Eight avis available.


Even this Doctor can pull the "Ten routine". Except he is much more subtle and kind.
~

Though prone to schoolboy giddiness, the Eighth Doctor retains a sense of modesty and a mannerism that reflects his deep love for all creatures.

~

All of them are so true of Eight. He is all of this and more.

Though many beings would seek to destroy this wonderful incarnation, one thing remains true.

~

He is, and always will be... the Eighth Doctor.

~

In other words... just just plain rocks!

~

Need I say more?

~

Besides... what more proof do you need? He's appeared in every flashback and has his own toy. If you don't think he is canon, then that is up to you.

~

He's accepted in the books, the audios... what more proof does one truly need?

~

So go ahead, diss him! Tell us that we're wrong for believing he is canon, because everyone has an opinion that they are entitled to, even if that opinion does not align with what is fact. Insist on being sincerely wrong, because we'll keep believing that we are sincerely right.

Oh so very true. Everyone's opinion can be both right or wrong depending on how you look at it. That is why it's called an opinion. We are all entitled to it, and if you don't like someone else's view, that's fine, just be sincere about it all.
