Why I will get nothing done before I leave for spring break trip.

New Doctor Who. As I've only seen one episode it's totally possible that I will have to revoke this sentiment but something makes me doubt that, so here goes: Matt Smith has what it takes to make it. He's not David Tennant but he knows it and he's not trying to be. He's just being his own kind of Doctor and obviously having good fun with it. EDIT:

Have now watched 3 episodes, and so far it really is the hot guy and Welsh accents and generally there's sex too (though so far mostly off-camera except for that sex-crazed alien thingy). Granted with hot guy and Welsh accents around, this should not be a surprising development? XD

Uh, YES. Although of jumpable people on the show, I would pick the one with the American accent. (Irony of ironies, he's not interested. Oh John Barrowman. Now, if we were talking about his character instead of the actor this would be a VERY different story.)

Oh I am well aware re: fantasy. And re: lots of Scottish people! I think Tennant's real accent is AWESOME. But I also really like Amy Pond's accent. Not a Scottish Doctor like Tennant had hoped for but at least a Scottish companion? And one who doesn't live in London! A bunch of my British friends and I were talking about the improbability of Rose, Martha, and Donna all being, not just from London, but from south/west London. One of them even suggested that this would probably be joked at by the show's writers at some point -- and that it would be quite possible (and amusing) to retcon in something that explained the TARDIS's strange predilection for south/west London locales
