I thought the 2007 season was up and down quality-wise. "Utopia" is perhaps my favorite episode of the new series thus far, and I loved John Simm, but "Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks" was just dreadful. As for Kylie Minogue, Billie Piper did ok as a companion, so I don't see how another pop star (who's got acting experience) could do any worse. The fans seem more concerned about Catherine Tate coming back as a full time companion next year. Not being British, I'm not familiar with her work, but she seemed somewhat shrill to be tagging along with the Doctor all the time.
Jon Pertwee was the Doctor I saw the most growing up (<3 Bessie), but I'm partial to the 5th or 7th Doctors myself.

I'd have to agree with you there about the Daleks episodes, they were absolutely dreadful, which is where I gave up on the series. I really wanted to watch the episodes with John Simm in, but never did as I thought that those episodes would be as bad as the first few. As for Catherine Tate being The Doctors companion next, well, I sure hope that they don't do it. I would boycott the entire series if they brought her back. All she does is shout and shrill all the time. This why I hated the Christmas episode with her in.
Anyway, back on topic. I am quite a fan of sci-fi. Ever since a friend of mine introduced me to The Next Generation, I have been hooked on it ever since. Firefly and Farscape are both my favourite shows, both were excellent in their own right, I just wish I could find Farscape at a decent price so that I could keep watching them over and over again. Other sci-fi shows that I like are The 4400, only watched the first series but it had me hooked from start to finish as did Taken.
As for sci-fi films, well I have seen my fair share, and have liked almost all that I have seen, one exception (I'll get to that soon) I'd have to say that Serenity is possibly my favourite of the genre, everything about it was just right. Galaxy Quest, Starship Troopers and Terminator 2 are also some of my favourite sci-fi films. All very mainstream, but I don't care.
As for the exception to my liking of sci-fi, well that would be Solaris. This film is really boring, I managed half of it before i turned it off. Absolutely nothing happened in the time that I watched it. Worst film ever.
I've only read a few sci-fi books, my favourite being Ilium by Dan Simmons. It is a mixture of Greek mythology and sci-fi. Sounds a bit of a strange combination, but it really works.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
