Dr. Who

[Dreamstalker]

I read somewhere that there's supposed to be twelve regenerations total.

I'm curious as to whether this is going to be the final doctor given what happened in the first episode.

[Dreamstalker]

I was wondering about that too.

[monolayth]

I really wonder what is going on with the girl. They have not cleared that up. I felt a little angry that they have given us two episodes that do not touch it. The next one had better have something about it in it. I also want to know what is up with the pregnant not pregnant thing

LOVE LOVE Dr Who. Never thought I would but my husband got pushy one day about me watching one of the episodes with David Tennant (I think he's the best doctor) and I was instantly in love with the show. Now I just can't wait for new episodes.

I'm still not sure of Matt Smith but I can appreciate the shows. Did you know this whole season is written by Neil Gaiman (think the Stardust movie)? If you think about it, you can sooo feel his style in the show this season.

Ooo, did you see last weeks? It was the last thing I was expecting. I felt rather sorry for the doctor at the end.

Dilorenzo, part of it is the sheer amount of difference between the two. Which is fine, but rather striking. My dad dislikes Smith because he's not as serious/weighty as previous Doctors. I think he's fine, but I still squeal over Tennant because frankly, I think Tennant's cuter. But that's me.

I think part of it is just the sudden change from more serious with lightheartedness to lighthearted with some seriousness. It's just different.

Regarding the Angels, all I have to do to creep my wife out is say "Don't blink."

I'm kinda surprised to see some of the dislike of Eleven around these days. It's a different Doctor from Ten, of course, but is that such a bad thing? Quite a lot of Ten was overwrought, to the point the emotional impact was lessened each time because it happened so often. Sure, Eleven has his moments, but with him being so much less dark than the last two, when there is a truly emotional moment (such as in Gaiman's excellent episode), it hits you so much harder.

I loved Nine, I loved Ten, but I adore and love Eleven. (Before Nine I only caught bits and pieces as it was on TV back in Ireland, but never watched it enough to count myself as a fan, alas).

(And what's more, do you think that Rory escaped without some mind-rape too?)

No, but seeing as how he's done things like spend 2000 years waiting for Amy, it probably doesn't faze him like it does Amy.

I really loved House. It was the first episode this season that I was in love with, but I think that's because the first half of the season opener was way different than I expected (not because of the first few things that happened, but because of the structure). I'll probably like the season opener more when I see where the season goes.

Poor Rory and Amy on that one.

And I don't know, Jay. Angels are kind of creepy just for the fact I still can't pass an angel statue without watching them.

I said "one of." I'd definitely rank the Angels and Silence above House (bolded because Evil Sounds Deep and to differentiate from Dr. House), but House was able to really mess with Amy's head. (And what's more, do you think that Rory escaped without some mind-rape too?)

Bunk beds!

[Jay 2K Winger]

I was looking forward to this week's episode ever since I heard Gaiman was going to be writing it. (I'm gay for Gaiman. <3)

Every single moment with the human!Tardis was made of win.

My favorite line from the episode: "I like this biting! It's like kissing, but there's a winner!"

I will say that House is probably one of the creepiest villains (to me) in nuWhovian history. And that's including the Weeping Angels, the Vashta Narada, and the Silence.

[Kheldarson]

I <3 Gaiman.

That was such a gorgeous episode. I was crying by the end of it. That was just perfect.

[cinema guy]

So... last night's episode was amazing. Neil Gaiman. The Doctor's Wife (sort of), the Tardis, spooky, cameoes ... it was sad and funny.

[BamaBabe]

I watched the special on "Doctor Who in America." Moffatt told Alex Kingston everything because River Song knows everything, so he thought spilling all the secrets or "spoilers" to her would help her play her character more realistically. So she's not just acting like she knows the whole story--because she does.

Ah...thanks for the clarification, Strawbabies. I didn't get the part about River Song knowing all.
