Hahahahahahaha. Excellent cartoon.
Ahh that first season was great. Eccleston was a really good Doctor. Absolutely the right choice for the reboot. And the chemistry between him and Rose was adorable. How far in are you? |
Ah, see, I had the completely opposite experience. I didn't like Eccleston and hated Rose. It wasn't until David Tennant that I finally came around to the series.
|
Oh I loved Tennant too.
Mind you, I love them all ;p |
I'm only two episodes in. I'm not smitten, but it's enjoyable. I can't stand missing backstory, so I'm planning to watch the entire series in order. I really like the chemistry between Rose and the Doctor. (What do you call him - Nine? The Ninth Doctor?) But I admit I chuckle at how awesomely bad the special effects are. I caught the phrase "Allons-y, Alonso!" on a YouTube video so now I need to watch until I get to that episode. :)
I currently eat, sleep, and breathe Sherlock. A lot of Sherlock fans seem to love Doctor Who (as evidenced by all the "Wholock" stuff I keep stumbling across) so I thought I'd give it a chance. |
Takes a few eps to really find its feet I think. That first series has some of the worst and best of the modern series (worst being farting monsters in Downing Street, best being the two parter: The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances - and maybe Dalek, when you get to see the Doctor's darker side).
Also the 9th Doc's 'death' and regeneration is one of the best of all eras imo. |
Short clip from The Empty Child:
They're still giving it a bit crashy with the music at this stage, but it's fairly creepy stuff. The kids are street kids, led by the older girl. They let themselves into empty houses when the air raid warnings go off, and eat the food there. |
D: That is INSANELY creepy.

I've been watching about one episode of Doctor Who a day, and just finished S1Ep8, "Father's Day." I teared up, and probably would've ended up flat out crying if I hadn't been interrupted during the last act. I think I'm officially hooked now.
I also really enjoyed S1Ep6, "Dalek." For an overgrown murderous salt shaker, the Dalek was surprisingly sympathetic. I'm glad I finally know what a Dalek is, anyway. Next up is "The Empty Child." Is that John Barrowman fella THE John Barrowman, of the UK panto get togethers? |
Sherlock series 3 airs in the US on Sunday, Jan. 19th at 10 pm! YAAAAAAY
|
Second series of Ripper Street starts tonight! Yeah.
|
New three parter from Mitchell and Webb started last week. I wasn't able to watch it at the time and have yet to go catch it up, but it definitely looks worth checking out. Here's the promo:
|
ha! I just realised the two shows are linked by Matthew McFadden (the lead in Ripper Street and the one they're reporting back to in Ambassadors).
|
Oh! Forgot to talk about The Wrong Mans. Comedy crime thriller type thingy. First ep was ok...some outstanding moments and some not so outstanding...gets pretty good after that.
Here's a promo: |
I needed a bBrit Fix a couple o fnights ago, so I looked at the ratings to see what all y'all were watching and found "The Paradise" Started at the beginning.....What a pile of drivel. does it get any better?
