Yesterday I went over to velesia's and made her watch "Fear Her". Mwah. Probably not the best introductory episode, but the other ones I had were Impossible Planet/Satan Pit, Love and Monsters, and Army of Ghosts/Doomsday. Out of all those, Fear Her is definitely better introductory material. Plus, flirty! She said she thinks the Doctor is cute ( ( Read more... )

I've never used QuickTime for .avi files, so I'm not sure what the problem would be there. I usually use VLC media player, a free player that will play just about any format without having to download additional codecs. You can download it from the website - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

Hope that helps...

I'll try that, thanks!

Hey, it's working! Thanks! :D Now I can finally watch Torchwood S2...

I'm tending to use Girl in the Fireplace or The Christmas Invasion as an intro episode. Fear Her just makes me gag a little too much, despite all the fun flirtation.

(Re: video diaries... omg those scenes with just the closeups of him in glasses? SHIVER. GLEE. WHUMP. That last one was me falling on the floor, repeatedly.)

Well, of all the episodes I had available, Fear Her was the best. The episode I would use as an introduction, given a choice, is "Rose". 'Cause, you know, it's the introductory episode of the new series, and also my first episode. *g*

Hee! SHIVER. GLEE. WHUMP is about right! Mmmmmmmmm... ;)

I dunno, I really just don't like Fear Her that much. Meh.

I'd use Rose too, except usually when I'm introducing people to the series, my first point of interest is "THERE'S THIS REALLY HOT GUY NAMED DAVID TENNANT" etc....

Hee. I am shallow. I watch it for the flirting. *g*

Well, see, I find Christopher Eccleston really sexy, so pretty much no matter which episode of New Who I watch, I win. :D And I have this minor obsession with starting from the beginning, so if I actually had all the DVDs, I'd always start from "Rose", no matter how hot David Tennant is. It's like, we'll get to him later, right now it's important to watch these characters develop into the people they are in TCI (though I guess GitF would be exempt from this, since character continuity isn't really present there), to understand everything that happens.

But, like I said, minor obsession. :p This is why I've got Classic Who in my Netflix queue. XD
