I agree that it was not the strongest introduction for the tenth Doctor. However, I adore, adore the scene between Ten and Jackie where he's trying to tell her what he needs and she keeps interrupting him and the "Wait a minute, that's English." scene. I could pretty much skip between the two and be happy.
We just watched "New Earth", the first ep of series 2 proper, and were *much* happier with it. It was funny and serious by turns, and gave the actors some fun things to do. Much better!
I'm a Nine girl and always will be. 10 is growing on me, season 3 has a dark streak that I always love, but David just isn't my type. Still, he has such excitement and fun to him that he's fun to watch. I know others seem bothered by her but I like Rose. Tony's ep is such fun. The man is so smooth, he's like butter. :o)
I feel a little bit like I did when I watched the last ep of Buffy season 3: it's downhill from here. Nothing will quite feel like that again. (Which is silly, because season 5 was nearly as good.) Looking forward to Tony as a bat-critter...
Have acquired the 7th Doctor to watch when bored. I know that #4 Tom Baker is also well-loved, and lots of my flist is into #5. See? I begin to fit the rather huge canon into my head.
LOL I've only watched it the once.
There are some really good moments in Season two - and Tony is amazing. Really - that's not just me being a fan and blowing smoke up his ass.
Just watch the way he moves - it's quite extraordinary.
:o)
