If I want to start watching this, should i really start with the older stuff, first Doctor and all? Or it doesn't matter much?
I guess it depends on the Doctor I want to follow?

You start in 2005, with him.

I'd rather suggest 2005-now
[QUOTE]“Our beautiful new title sequence, it’s absolutely stunning, is online ‘Doctor Who’ fandom,” Moffat told press at a conference to promote the new series of the show. “Billy Hanshaw created this title sequence, put it up on YouTube. I happened to cross it, and it was the only new title idea I’d seen since 1963. We got in touch with him, and said, okay, we’re going to do that one.”[/QUOTE]
ahahah i hope NV is crying
Nah he's just gonna keep repeating to himself that he's the best and that the BBC is dumb for not picking his videos for inspiration but he's not angry at all. In fact,he doesn't even care.
[QUOTE][B]Series 8, Episode 2 - Into the Dalek by Phil Ford[/B]
"A Dalek fleet surrounds a lone rebel ship, and only the Doctor can help them now... with the Doctor facing his greatest enemy, he needs Clara by his side.
"Confronted with a decision that could change the Daleks forever, he is forced to examine his conscience. Will he find the answer to the question, am I a good man?"
Guest Starring Michael Smiley and Zawe Ashton[/QUOTE]
Disappointed if no rousing cry of [I]"SEEK! LOCATE! DESTROY!"[/I] with actual exterminating taking place.
Can't help but be reminded of [I]Genesis[/I] from that synopsis.

Things are underway in New York - Moffat has rejoined them. Also, Capaldi talking about being in Series 4

It changed a decent amount over the five years and Series 5 is also a great jumping on point. You can always go back and watch Series 1 - 4 later.
If you dislike both the 2005 series and series 5 you will most likely never like Doctor Who.
Yeah I'd recommend only trying the old stuff once you've watched a fair bit of the new and are sure it's for you. The old stuff is definitely worth watching but it's sort of an acquired taste.

I started with Series 5 in 2010 when the finale had aired a few weeks prior - when I got to the finale I was disappointed there wasn't going to be more until S6 next year because I absolutely loved it, so I watched through Series 1-4 immediately
I did not regret starting with S5 because I have a feeling that if I instead started on S1 I would've thought every single series was going to be like S1 quality and plot wise, which would've made me think the show was pretty bad because of the low TV quality of S1 and the cheesy looking monsters

I think it would be a better choice to watch them in order starting with Series 1 (With Eccleston) and see how the different Doctors change as it progresses. There are some things that just wouldn't have the same impact if you didn't know what had happened before, like the Day of the Doctor episode.
Holy shit it's next Saturday already??
Oh god I'm getting more and more excited now, next weekend better hurry up because I'm equally as excited to be moving into a dorm room next Sunday
[QUOTE]Normally when you read a script, at this point, the Doctor would embrace the scene, or dance, or run around the console. Actually, there were times, especially in the early days, when Peter would say, "No, I’m going to just stand here." It is that thing of instead of going to the room, the room is going to come to him. I feel like he was really bold and brave, and he made those changes, and him doing it his way.[/QUOTE]
It's not that often I get so excited about a television show slowing down.
I've heard the series finale villain is a narcistic man in his 30s, who's bitter about his mediocre work not making it onto to his favourite TV show. He contacts the Daleks to take over the BBC television center and hold showrunner Ethan Doffat hostage until he replaces the title sequence with his own. Can the Doctor overcome this troubled man, or will the universe be stuck looking like a Michael Bay movie forever?
Christ, this trailer has poor audio...

that's what I thought when I saw it, you can't make out anything anyone's saying
I wonder what will be Capaldi's catchphrase. Could it top Eccleston "Fantastic", or Tennant's "Allons-y" or "I'm sorry."? I never liked Smith's "Geronimo".

If he doesn't want The Doctor to be identified by clothing, I doubt Capaldi will will keen on catchphrase. I hope he doesn't have one, personally.
...and 12 doesn't strike me as the sort, either :v: Script readers can prove me wrong, but I think his most identifiable / recurring feature will be those eyes / eyebrows / the stare.

I swear for a moment there I thought that was a gif of 1.

And this right here is why I don't regret watching the pre-screening version one bit.
Just seeing the finished product after a W.I.P version of it is sooooo satisfying. It looks amazing. I can honestly say it really heightens my appreciation for the art of it all. <3
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;45699747]Having a catchphrase for the sake of having one is really lame.[/QUOTE]And that's what it felt with "Geronimo". With Tennant, it was implemented somehow naturally, to how weirdly he wanted to meet a man called Alonso to fit "Allons-y". Maybe they'll incorporate something to Capaldi that just will catch.
I hope Peter grows his hair out a bit more in the coming years. It don't think it suits being really short like it is in the first episode.

I hope for facial hair later on. That would be a nice change, although probably unlikely, seeing how recently Hurt was the first that wasn't clean shaved.

I just remembered how cool Capaldi looks with a beard and now I'm totally on board with that

"fucking bollocks"
[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;45702979]"fucking bollocks"[/QUOTE]
I'm just imagining a dramatic moment towards the end of an episode, where the Doctor leaves a ship that's in the process of exploding. Fire everywhere, sparks, parts falling down all around him. He strides through the open doors of the TARDIS in the middle of the flames, the camera following him through in one smooth motion, as he walks towards the console.
"Doctor!" shouts the main villain. "You can't just walk away and leave us to burn!"
The Doctor reaches the console and turns around, with a frown that silences the protests immediately. Without looking, he puts his hand on the console.
"Fuckity-bye!" he exclaims, waving sarcastically, as he flicks the switch and closes the doors, before promptly vanishing off somewhere else.
A line from 12 made very popular by Robin Williams got a lovely audience response at the Sydney premiere on the day Williams passed, I'm told.
