Doctor Who Spoilers!
Specials
Timothy Dalton aka James Bond is in one of them! Yay!
Eleventh Doctor's Outfit
I'm not fond of the tweed, but I do like the bowtie. The coat and tie- I hope that means he'll be slightly academic and this isn't a goodbye to the brainy specs. It wasn't until my second viewing of his new attire that I realized he reminded me of another Doctor, namely Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard of NCIS. That cheered me slightly, perhaps the 11th Doctor humorously rambles on with interesting facts about history while he’s suppose to fighting paradoxes and hostile aliens?
The hair, ah, it’s still early. We’ll see if you’ll ever have any hair do that will rival or echo Ten’s dynamic, mood affected, and gosh darn amazing hair.
The Doctor's Companion
My first impression of Amy Pond is she's gorgeous, and might be an artist-with her brightly colored sweatshirts, leggings, comfortable shoes. I'm hoping we'll have more than one companion eventually. I watched some Classic Who and it adds another dynamic to the TARDIS. I also hope we get to see more of the rooms in the ol' blue box.
SPOILERS FOR TORCHWOOD SERIES
Seriously. Spoilers. I'm not kidding.Walk away.I'm having too much fun with colors...Ready?HERE THEY COME!
It was chilling, filled with plot holes, chock full of Russel T. Davies angst-ridden drama and action, and was the best series of Torchwood yet.
The Good/Funny
-Gwen greeting Tosh and Owen's photograph.
-"Are you two having shenanigans in the dark?"
-Hah! That's right double agent, you can't dance on in and replace Owen.
-The government officials need to go to Computer Safety 101. Never, ever, share your user names and passwords children! Or write them on a sheet of paper and conveniently stick them onto a computer monitor in a very public place...
-Rule #346 baddies must be horrible shots.
-Whoa, wait. All their software is stored away on servers-what?
-Rhys is always the last to know...Sorry, mate.
-I like potatoes even more now.
-Ianto's brother-in-law and his day care scheme.
-They mentioned the Doctor!
-Aw, good ol' PC Andy. He was adorable and cared about Gwen and the children more than his job.
The Sad/Bad
-JackHarkness skinless and writhing in agony was disgusting.
-"They feel good." That part was horrifying--children used as drugs is twisted. The realization that the politicians were negotiating which children would be chosen was even more twisted.
-Peter Capaldi played Frobisher perfectly from civil servant, to unwilling pawn, to desperation--the moment behind the closed door was heartbreaking.
-Ianto...We learned about Owen and Toshiko's pasts and family, too and THEY died. They can't keep killing characters we grow fond of, they just can't. I was holding onto to hope that Jack would stop it before his grandson died. It's like they decided, "Since we can't kill Jack let's make him suffer more! Yeah! We need him to be angsty and alone. Wait, that sounds...we're not drawing parallels between him and the Doctor, right? Just checking."
