Um...yes, I'll repeat that...Doctor Who.
As in "I watched new!Who today and it didn't have Nine or Ten in it!".
Hello bbs! I am here to make a post because I have watched some newer Who! I haven't actually watched any DW since "Journey's End". Seriously.
I don't actually have a full opinion formed on Matt Smith. His voice is an improvement. I like the look. And he does bring something of his own to the role. But not enough. When watching "The Beast Below", I honestly had flashes of Ten, and it made me itch.
But I do like Eleven, nothing's hitting me about him that is truly turning me off. I feel a bit mean and cynical because CE/Nine pulled me in so freakin' fast, and I let DT/Ten fool me for too long when there were definite things that turned me off since the beginning of his run. I think it's all making me hold back a little, or I'm right and Matt hasn't really owned it as the Doctor yet. But I'm seeing an intensity in places that I am really liking, so that's a plus. I guess I'm getting gonna wait and see. *pouts*
And Amelia Pond. Amy. Oh Karen Gillan's faces! I like her. Adored how she solved the issue in "The Beast Below". I'm still missing a little something from her, but I can't put my finger on what it is, so she's great.
I'm not sure I really cared much about the story in "The Eleventh Hour", but it set up the series, and it introduced Amy in a brilliant manner.
For some reason, TBB really reminded me of "The End of the World". I quite liked it. Although, it did distract me to think that Amy really ran around in her nightie.
So, I'm looking forward to catching up and watching the rest of the series. So...yay!
