1) Science is wonderful.
2) The default image of the Doctor is David Tennant.

Both of these have my complete support.

That is incredibly awesome. Should be modified to play the Dr.Who theme though.

Now we just need to make a Tardis and we'll have our own Time Lords. Course, then we'll have the Daleks, Cyberman and, worse of all, the Weeping Angels to contend with....

On second thought, BAD SCIENCE! BAD!

Now I just started watching the series (am on season 5 of the reeboot, the first season with what I think is the newest doctor - the first one with amy pond), but I do want one. Also I like how they choose the best doctor, but I would've been perfectly happy with the one they choose or the one before.

*not gay*
Science fact: if you can look at David Tennant and not want to vote him sexiest man alive you are deemed "not human" by British law.

Awesome, but can it be used a regular screwdriver? I didn't think so.

You lose again science.
But... it's designed to turn things and that's basically all there is to a screw!

Alright, science. Here's the deal. You hand over your latest toys and I promise not to take over the world with them. Honest!

Scotland does science, and wins first prize again...

Although their last major invention, the television, didn't really catch on... Oh wait.

Lift and rotate a rubber disc floating in water.
I didn't realise screws were made of rubber, shaped like discs, and floated in water...

In time, yes, it will be able to rotate a screw, but for now, I don't think so.

Oh, now you're just nitpicking!
Maybe they could turn the power up to 11 and then disassemble a skyscraper from home but just chose not to but rather slowly build up to it.

Nonsense, it has been heavily used throughout the Neu-Who as a deus ex machina. Of course Moffat is a bit of a ham-fisted hack and relies on it even more than Davies did so it shows. See the Third Doctor, the "good episodes" of the Fourth Doctor, and the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors for how it should be used, sparingly if at all. Wait, you can skip the Sixth, Baker the Lesser isn't so bad, but has most annoying companions ever, baring Adric.
Got any episodes in particular you would recommend? I've seen Genesis of the Daleks, Eathshock and the 7th Doctor's thing with the Daleks (their last appearance in the original series) and I'm looking for more. I've been meaning to see Future War, but that is long and I have limited free time. And if it matters, of 4th, 5th and 7th I probably liked 7th the best of what I saw, but I haven't hated a Doctor yet.

All of the Louise Jameson/Leela serials starting with The Face of Evil, best companion the Doctor has ever had. Stand outs include The Robots of Death, The Horror of Fang Rock and if you are feeling forgiving towards the creature department The Talons of Weng- Chiang.
