I'm also a fan of Trek, especially TOS, and I really get what you mean about it being alike and at the same time so unlike Doctor Who, heh. Both can be very dark or very light-hearted at different times, for example.
It really is a big show with a lot of backstory, but I started out with Nine (Eccleston) and that worked fine. And I've loved all the Doctors, and I agree that they've managed to be different and "Doctor-like" at the same time.
I really loved Rose in the first season, but I didn't like how she was written later on. Opinions differ wildly on her, though! I honestly think she was great all through S1, in any case.
Eccleston really made me understand how horrifying the Daleks were, despite me never having seen classic Who, and had no real knowledge about them, He was fantastic. XD
Yes, many of the characters in Gridlock have appeared before! One of them several times, even (at the end of S3 yu'll realise just how many, heh).
My favourite so far is Eleven, but that goes hand in hand with the style of his seasons being more to my taste than Nine's or Ten's (though I love them too). You're completely right about his era being more fantasy-like, sort of like a dark fairy tale. His seasons also have more... er sort of "fiddly" writing, and a lot of stuff happens in a very short time, so one has to pay really close attention to keep up!
And, you know, Douglas Adams actually wrote for Doctor Who back in the seventies! There's even a reference (blink and you'll miss it) in the Christmas special between S1 and S2 of New Who.
Speaking of which, the Christmas specials are sort of the "episode zero" of each season (except the first), and not all of them are good (though a few are very good). Oh, and between S4 and S5 there are five specials (three normal and a two-parter) that you'll need to watch for the story to make sense, and be sure to watch them in the right order!
Anyway, I hope you'll like the rest of Doctor Who. Happy watching!

(Anonymous) 2013-02-04 09:23 am (UTC)(link)Thanks for the tips! I haven't really got an idea of what the general seasons are like yet, but I suppose I'll form an opinion when I watch more.
Oh so my reaction to the Dalek wasn't that off! I was kinda "oh right, goofy sci-fi villain ooooooh" but then the Doctor was totally panicking trying to get out and then went totally nuts on it and then it started killing everyone and it still looked goofy but it didn't seem goofy to me anymore.
Eccleston's my favorite so far, but I've only seen one episode of each so I have no idea if my ideas about them so far are that accurate. I really like all of them though.
