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: ( Read more... )

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.)

Where'd you find the new episodes? Share!

I'm going to sound very snooty as I say this, but I live in the United Kingdom. I can watch them in high-quality direct from the BBC website. :) :) :)

However, if you don't mind middling quality, you can also stream them here.

And here is a link to download 5x02 "The Beast Below" that I found...no similar one for 5x01 "The Eleventh Hour" at the mo, which is a shame since I liked that one better.

I have to agree about liking Amy/Karen - the second ep really had me warming to her.

Although you had better exempt Donna from this: "I like that she's feisty and that it seems like, unlike previous companions, she's going to actually challenge the Doctor and argue with him and stuff. Not just sit there with puppy eyes when he's about to destroy the world and tell him to stop." otherwise wtf? (Also really tbh I'm not a huge Rose fan but she was pretty feisty too.)

Okay, I wasn't entirely being fair. Most of them don't make him stop with puppy eyes. And I really do LOVE Donna, like, to pieces. Still better than I like Amy, in fact. I guess that what I was trying to articulate about Amy is that, not only is she feisty and willing to argue/challenge, she also doesn't seem to be easily sidetracked/awed by the fact that the Doctor is a time-traveling alien with ridiculous intelligence. Possibly because of his repeated misunderstanding of "five minutes." And somehow also I don't get anything like a romantic vibe between her and Matt WHICH IS A GOOD THING. Got enough of that for a bit, I think.
