I think Smith will be a good Doctor. The best? Who knows? Who cares! (Pun not intended) I look forward to the rest of the series.

Oh, and Karen Gillan.....

My medium child picked up on the screwdriver changing colour, if that's what you are alluding to, but I haven't seen every ep, so I may have missed important plot points.....

mcmeekle said:

Karen is a good companion, has the same spirit that Donna had.

cant wait for more

Sooo....

everyone looking forward to June 5th then?

Adventure games? I'm more excited by the fact that Matt Smith will be showing up in the Sara Jane Adventures along with... dun dun duuuun! 70's bumbling assistant Jo Grant! It really is a very rewarding year to be a Doctor Who fan!

whats happening June 5th

erik319 said:

Yeah, I got too excited, too soon about the game. I looked at the online pictures and I was a little disappointed.

I never watched the Sara Jane Adventures, is it worth checking out? Always thought it was just a little too young for me. I don't have children, so I can't use that as an excuse to watch it.

I've been a casual viewer of Tennent, If I flipped through the tv channels and if it was on I may or not have watched depending on if it looked interesting. Matt Smith blew me away in the first 10 minutes. He had me at fish and custard. I've already downloaded the second episode and enjoyed it. Smith just brings a vibe to the character that just impressed me. I will now be watching before Graham Norton comes on .

It was the fish and custard that got me too. Great writing.

mostbeautifulboy said:

Yep and I think Im going to like it more cause Davies is gone and Moffet has taken over. I also have to give props to the young actress that played amy pond.

lazycrockett said:

If that is the redhead, I haven't watched the episode yet, but word. She's a reason to watch on her own.

lazycrockett said:

If you mean Karen Gillen, yup. I know exactly what you mean. If you mean the girl who played young Amy, guess what? Karen Gillens cousin in real life

erik319 said:

Well I meant the young amy, she played it right without being all sappy, sweet, blah blah blah cute kid crap. Though I also have to say that I love the Amy character shes kinda rehashed, pieces and parts, but there is alot of "love" towards the doctor.

lazycrockett said:

Steven Moffat has no issue in rehashing ideas, even very recent ones. River Song and Sally Sparrow for example, and Amy/Mme de Pompador. The [spoiler for episode 2] dates back to an idea from early 80's Doctor Who and the running theme from this new series looks like it's borrowed from the McGann series of audios. As long as it makes a good story, I think it's fair game.

mostbeautifulboy said:

Same excuse you use to watch a 900 year old man with a magic wand fly around the universe in a little blue box!

Yes, it's aimed at kids, but production values are high, characterisation is good and there's lots of little 'easter eggs' for Doctor Who fans. It kind of feels like old style Doctor Who, what with the half hour format and cliff hangers. Yes, it's a kids show, but it's made and written by the people who made Doctor Who & Torchwood. If you know what to expect, then it's a fun enough way to spend half an hour.

Plus, apart from Sarah Jane, we've had K9 show up from time to time, Slitheen, Juddoon, Sontaran's, The Brigadier, the tenth Doctor and now the Eleventh Doctor & Jo Grant showing up. Worth a watch just for them.

erik319 said:

OK, you got me, I will defintely stop being so snobby and have a look.
Plus Im a sucker for cliff hangers.


BTW Love your signature!

my husband once served up fish finger omeletes

it was Good Friday

prb said:

I wouldn't class that as Good Friday!

erik319 said:

it wasnt

it was our vry first living together, he thought all meals had to have fish in it

i ate half of it...so as to not hurt his feelings too much ....it was early days

prb said:

I love that initial 'getting to know you' period where you don't want to hurt your partners feelings, so end up eating horrible crap that you'd never usually touch, and going to see things that you wouldn't ever dream of seeing if you weren't with them... But how good is it when you settle into a relationship and go 'er... Nope! no way!'

brilliant

discovering little things are fun

like he has to have the volume on an even number, 8 or 10, not 9 or 11....

or rubbing his chin with his thumb when he is thinking, forefinger on his mo'....

or rubbing his eyebrows when he is going to fall asleep...
