catching up on being a fanboy

[mizkit]

Ted and I watched the last episodes of season 1 Dr. Who yesterday evening. Having never previously seen Dr. Who, and having heard pretty much across the board rave reviews, I have to say the show lived up to my expectations.

Yay! Another convert!

I'll be interested to see what you think of Eccleston's replacement.

I'm so sullen over Eccleston leaving I'm disinclined to like poor Tennant, though I'm told he really is very good. :) But, since I know that this is how the Doctor works, I shall have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Next year, when S2 is out on DVD. :)

I felt exactly the same so will to try to talk you out of it. I am quite fond of the shorty little Scots loon but he isn't Eccleston and a still small part of me is always grinding my teeth slightly when I watch him.

Yes, I have so much love for Eccleston that Tennant had a lot to live up to. I think Tennant makes a very good Doctor, but he doesn't hit me in my "squee" zone the way Eccleston does. OTOH, Tennant really does "it" for a number of other people, so you may find yourself won over quite quickly. It all depends.

I will refrain from giving you my thoughts on 2nd season until you've seen it.

1st epidode 2nd season got me "sqee"ing for Tennant. His first realization of what his new personality is like. And I have a thing for Punk Boys anyway. :)
