Yes, I think Jo must have loved adventuring in the Amazon- after jungles on alien planets infested with Daleks, a regular earth rainforest would be like a walk in the park to her!
LOL, yes!
Haha I thought the computer voice in Green Death sounded like the Master too!
I'm glad I'm not alone.
Even though I saw New Who first, the idea of the Doctor as an angsty romantic hero always felt weird to me somehow
It felt a bit strange to me. It's not that I mind that the Doctor is romantic at times, but I prefer him when he isn't. And I got really tired of all the companions who suddenly fell in love with him. But then I only ship the Doctor with the Master and even that mostly in subtext.
I do understand why they decided to make him the last Time Lord in New Who tho, and I think it was a good idea at first, because new viewers like me didn't have to deal with all the backstory right away, we could just focus on 'okay, he's lonely & needs a friend to travel with, I get it.'
I was really afraid they would reboot Who from scratch when I first Heard about the new series, but making him the only Time Lord was really smart. It makes the show "new", but still draw on everything that has happened before. I love both Classic an New Who, though the Classics sparks my imagination a lot more. Perhaps because there are thses annoying plot holes were people doesn't get proper story acrs or are written out very clumsily. I also really love how the Classic Doctors regenerate in a way that makes it very clear how events shape and change them. Three, for example, is practically rendered impotent in his relation to his TARDIS and he is stuck on Earth. So his snarkiness and anger is quite understandable. And he reads more like eccentric scinetist than alien, which makes sense- if he is stuck on Earth it is a good idea to not be too alien. And Four, Five and Six all have very logical personalities to me.
(Also, Classic Who has Delgado!Master, which is my fav Who villain ever.)
