One of us! (chuckle). Seriously, welcome to SL. I’ll probably see you both around there at some point.

I could argue the point, but one of the most basic tenants of Who is that not everyone likes every Doctor or companion. I don’t dislike Eccleston, don’t get me wrong in that–he was bombastic at times, very mood-swingy, all of that.

It may stem down to my preferences in Doctors in general: as much as I do like Tom Baker, I’m every bit as much a fan of Peter Davison, disposable cardboard companions aside (Matthew Waterhouse, that means you, lad) and daft scripts ignored (who green-lit Timeflight or Earthshock, anyway?). Tennant seems to be channeling much Doc 5–calm, reserved, humbly wise in most cases, and often times very unsure of himself.

Season 3 is a -gratuitous- improvement over Season 2–Smith & Jones, The Shakespeare Code, Gridlock, and 42, and Human Nature are strong eps, personal opinion of course. The season closers look to be big-bangers, moreso than Army Of Ghosts+Doomsday apparently.

Word of advice to anyone involved: avoid Wikipedia, the BBC Doc Who site, or the IMDB. ALL have ep spoilers, even for eps that haven’t aired yet.

The screen captures I see sure seem seductive, but I figure it’s mainly people chatting about work and so on. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just even Furry Muck had so much more potential than what panned out in practice. Years ago, I would wonder around the Muck from time to time and explore room after room that someone must have spent a lot of time building, but that was always empty, from as best as I could tell. I’m still waiting for something that gives me full immersion in to a 3D world that has smell and feel, too. 🙂

I mean, he’s smart, sassy, witty, and oh so ubercute. I’d take a trip with him anyday. And, if you’ve seen the parody that’s on YouTube, he even looks good in drag. And did I mention he’s cute?

I’m going to be making a second character handle, until I fix all the characters that were broken on my main account.

The Satan Pit was pure, classic Who in every way. Even so, I don’t care much for Tennant as the Doctor. Eccleston was almost as quirky and perfect for the role as Tom Baker was. Tennant is rather more reserved and stuffy, qualities I don’t care to see in the Doctor.

I’ve seen everything from season 1 and 2. Not seen 3, because Tennant didn’t excite me too much so I’ll wait for it on SciFi channel instead of Bittorrent.

Give Shockwave Yareach a howl next time you are on. 🙂

I was actually going to bring some of The Doc over Saturday, but I didn’t know where anyone was in the series, and I do so hate spoiling.

Give the bloke some time. He’s barely in that episode, to be honest, and it’s not the best written stuff in the universe. By mid-season he’s really hitting stride–wait for The Impossible Planet & The Satan Pit (Eps #8 and #9) and The Girl In The Fireplace (Ep 4) for him to really shine.

For a large part, Series 2 was pretty duff. I’m far happier with what I’ve seen in Series 3, but that’s not exactly something you can TiVo, now can you? 😉
