Fucking ace episode. Thrilling, funny, up to date - and so very very british. The revival of the Doctor in the Tardis was classic, if a little ... obvious.

Hope our overseas friends don't have to wait too long to see it!

He was everything I'd hoped: energetic, other-worldly, and charismatic. The guy's a rock star!

It was a fun episode and everything we've come to expect from the Dr Who crew.

i can't wait to see it!

It would be nice if one of the farking 350 digital channels that we subscribe to on Adelphia would carry it. Grr.

the torrent will be around by tomorrow, octo.

it's up

I cannot wait to get the new series Season 1 box set and share in the love of the new series. I even wrote a fan minicomic using stills from the new series as inspiration. See if you can guess which episodes the stills came from!

dodgy, you mean he's great as The Doctor, don't you?

</anorak>

I made you're the man now dog

it was good, but he's kinda bitchy, no? (and kinda not straight--at all--my gaydar's dinging--too bad he's not cute) And there's no way he would have won the swordfight at all--kinda dumb.

I can't believe the PM! : (

Finally home, finally saw it. Need time to digest. If the Eccleston was sort of a lonely 35-ish Engineer who does theater on weekends (and had abandonment issues), Tennant is a younger Doctor who grew up rolling dice, reading comics, and watching Hong Kong action movies. He's got that very sort of "What I'd Hoped to Be When I Grew up" feel to him. My hope is that it's not just too much. Eccles did a good job of showing the Dr's limitations, but this new Dr. is a bit too good at everything right away. "Hey, I'm sexy and smart and also a good fighter and extremely clever oh and I've also got that crazy Doctor unpredictability TO THE EXTREME YO." In my old radio station, we had a sign on the board that said "pinning the needles does NOT make the music ROCK" and I hope that this is not Tennant's weakness as the Doctor. I'm sure with time he'll pull it back a bit and show some more dynamic range.
