Hey, I’m a huge Star Trek fan and have seen all of that stuff endlessly.

I love the Star Trek community, and it seems Doctor who has a similar thing.

So, I want to check out this show. Can someone recommend a good place to start?

Can I just pick a series based on the actor? I was considering the series with Matt Smith. Just because I saw a few clips with him.

Yeah it's only some specific episodes that work as "teasers" like this, usually picked because they don't talk much about the main storylines, blink for example is entirely from the point of view of someone that doesn't know who the doctor is, so as a new viewer you share that with them.

But starting at eccleston is the best, do be warned it's definitely a bit campy/cheesy at the start, just try to look past that.

Yeah, it really is. But I watched the second episode last night and when I woke up, I found that I was looking forward to watching another episode. I think I am going to stick with it and just watch it slowly. I am a bit excited for the next two doctors as I like those actors.
