Haven't seen the ep yet, but IPAD!!! I love mine so much it's almost ridiculous. Or maybe it's completely ridiculous. It's like a robot pet or something. I just want to have it with me all the time.
I know! I've been trying to not squee and keep it on the down-low, but it's better than I was expecting. I'm pretty pissed off at all the PC-techies who keep complaining about what it doesn't do without reacting to what it does! I had actually bought the hype that one couldn't actually type on it - until I played with one at the bookstore and realized, if I could learn to play the piano and to type in Cyrillic, I could do this! (I find myself using only three fingers on each hand, to keep the thumb and pinkie out of the way, but I'm able to take notes, which is one of the things I wanted to do. And I'm sure I'll improve.
I have no problem typing on it, but I also bought the keyboard dock for when I travel and am relying on it as my primary computer. Still, it's SUCH A FUN TOY. I feel like an ass for buying a first-gen apple product which I never ever ever do because you know they are going to lower the price and add awesome features in like 6 months, but I couldn't help myself with this. I pre-ordered it the day they became available.
Still, it's gorgeous and fast and does amazing things and I love it the most. And when they put a camera and a USB port and set up multi-tasking? It will be the greatest toy EVER.
Very. I do like that no one's quite slobbering over the Doctor yet, but otherwise, it's not far off an RTD story at all. Still, I particularly felt they were getting too close to "The End of the World" - which was a far superior episode, IMO, with a lot of emotional resonance and a more interesting story, a cute take on a drawing room mystery. I'll take Cassandra over "Liz X" anytime.
Yeah, Moffat's characters are often wind-up toys. I loved Nancy from the beginning, and Carey Mulligan made me love Sally, even though when you think about it, she wasn't anything special, and I kind of love Rory already. Larry was a total nothing, Reinette was a plank of formica (to be fair, Sophia Myles is one of the worst actresses working, wo it might not have been all Moffat's fault). I didn't like Jack at first, but he did have a personality, so I'll give one to Barrowman there - I did think he picked up significantly when he was with both the Doctor and Rose. I'll admit, part of me was ticked off that Rose

Still, you realize we're ahead of 1960s Star Trek technology now…
