Editing. Aargh.
Why must Sci Fi insist on editing Doctor Who? It's times like this that I really wish we had better swear words. The British have some that would be very appropriate.
That fabulous scene when the Doctor and Jack demonstrate how well they work together? It doesn't work if you don't see the fifteen seconds leading up to it. Stupid Sci Fi editing for time. Cut a car commercial and leave the show.
John Barrowman gets to use his own accent in Doctor Who, which is nice in all, but he ought to push harder to change the lines that aren't right. Just because it annoys me.
Bad Wolf has my very favorite Eccleston moment--when he sees the Daleks for the first time, he does this move with his shoulders, and you can *see* his skin crawl. No words, and he's acting against a green screen, at best. But that five seconds conveys everything he feels about the Daleks, even better than the fury in "Dalek." It gives all the reasons for his costume, his haircut, the way he smiles but almost never means it--and the way that he keeps his companions at arm's length but is utterly destroyed by Rose's death.

I *do* love the Eppes banter. Especially when it's over toast.
