Quite. I got as far as the fact that we were seeing the Time Lords on the last day of the war, but for how and why, I'll have to rewatch to work it out!
Hi Caz! I've finally seen it. My reaction was pretty much the same as yours. I loved the ending. If there was any time to be schmaltzy that was it.
I found the story engrossing. I had always wanted to know what had happened to the Time Lords. I was so engrossed that I was surprised by Wilf knocking four times and it had the intended affect.
When it came to the regeneration I was ready. I was sad but not unhappy. He had a great run and a good send off. And then he had to go and say it. "I don't want to go." The bastard. That one got me.
I started watching with Eccleston and he was a great introduction to the character but Tennant is Dr. Who for me.
I recently discovered that I have BBC America on my tv so I will be able to catch up on the new Who. I just need to find the first ep.
I know that in many ways EoT was a bit of a dog's breakfast, but you know - I don't care. David got one helluva send off, which is as it should be - he's a National Treasure, and deservedly so!
I still can't watch his final moments without bawling my eyes out :(
I believe BBCA is about 2 weeks behind us - we're getting ep 9 this week, but you can find the episodes at the usual places. Email me if you need a reminder.
I was able to find the first ep online and have now seen the first two eps. My tv has up to ep 6 saved for me to watch any time. B-)
I've enjoyed the first two episodes a lot. I like how certain qualities of the doctor's character stay the same even though each actor plays him a bit differently (Smith is only my third doctor). I noticed that the next ep has some daleks and it's good to see that they've kept some of the classic villians. Amy seems like a promising companion. But I don't want to pass judgement yet. I was worried that she was just a pretty face. The companion needs a personality that can play off the doc. (you know, like Donna!) So far I like Amy but there's a touch of the ingenue there. But maybe that's because she's still new to the doctor's world. She was feistier in the first ep before she knew who he was. Hopefully there will be more of that.
I'm off to bed now but I'll be back to comment on the new show.
I've been posting about DW regularly - about all the differences in the show as well as from episode to episode, so do feel free to pitch in.
I'm afraid Amy gets on my nerves. She's shallow, selfish and self-absorbed and the Doctor deserves better, IMO. I liked little Amelia much more. I won't blather on about it here - have a look through my posts and you'll see why she's so far failed to make much of an impression on me. Also - Karen Gillan couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.
