apocalypsosWell, I said I was going to, but I haven't actually gotten around to talking about Doctor Who. (You know, other than the occasional spastic flailing.) So here I go.
Okay, look, before this, I never actually saw Doctor Who at all. All right, I saw the TV movie, but I don't really remember it anyway, which goes to show how much of an impact the TV movie had on me.
But, seriously? Oh, do I love this show.
It's like I said last night after The 4400. I watched the whole series last week not so much to find out what happened at the end but because it's seriously a fun ride. That's what I'm blaming for the reason I keep watching them over and over again still. They got me so incredibly hooked, y'all. :)
I don't know how he compares to the other Doctors, but I loved Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. Nice blend of goofy and serious, not to mention the terrific chemistry between him and Billie Piper (and later on, John Barrowman). Honestly, all three characters need to get a room. ;) That's the thing, though. While it's not exactly like with Veronica and Wallace (where if the writers hooked them up, I'd pretty much have to throttle them), the friendship between the three of them is just too awesome. And while I'll miss him as the Doctor, the fun thing will be watching Ten develop a new rapport with the other two next season.
The Parting of the Ways was really a great way to end the season. If they pulled this shit in any other fandom -- replace one character, kill and raise another from the dead only to leave him behind -- I'd be so damn pissed off, but I loved the way they pulled it off. It did a great service to the relationship between the three characters, and to Christopher Eccleston's run as the Doctor.
I'd have to say my favorite episodes were The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances. Captain Jack, Glen Miller, and creepy-as-fuck people in gas masks. Those were my kind of episodes. ;) (On the other hand, Father's Day really got on my nerves. I mean, I've got enough experience with trying to write time travel in my own stuff to come up with some pretty decent theories on the whole episode, and the emotional stuff worked just perfectly, but ... *mind boggles*)
Obviously, I love Captain Jack. He's like an oversexed, leather-pants-wearing woobie, he is. *cuddles him* But I seriously haven't mentioned how much I adore Rose. I can totally believe in the devotion the Doctor and Jack have for her, because she's just too cute, and not in an annoying way. I mean, it's obvious she's meant to be with the two of them and not Mickey, off having adventures and things.
In summation ... new episodes yet? *whimper*
