Doctor Who lives again

[tvordlj]

I downloaded the first ep of the new season of Doctor Who. Yeah i know, illegal as hell. I just can't wait until the fall for CBC to air it!

Can i just say, i miss Christopher Eccleston. David Tennant is ok but it's going to be an uphill battle to get used to him. And i know i can knit pick with the best of them but i really thought overall the episode was fairly good. I did wonder why Cassandra was so surprised that Rose was, as she said, "a chav", when she knew perfectly well what Rose looked like. *some* people pick on things like 21st century clothes or phone booths but i say they were just recreating earth. And sometimes the old fashioned stuff works the best ;) I thought Billie Piper did a pretty good job though i became quite fond of Cassandra's assistant, Chip. The cat makeup was pretty good too.

Tennant is good, i'm not taking that away from him. I didn't grow up with Doctor Who so getting used to a different personality along with the face is a bit weird for me. Having said all that, i am looking forward to the rest of the series!

I think he did well and I did like him as the Doctor. I just feel as though Tennant knows more about what the Doctor is about and has injected just the right amount of "expected" flamboyance/eccentricity etc while still making the part his own.

I must sound like I didn't like him, and that's not true. There were some really good moments with him, but I never got the impression he was a fan of the show. Tennant is obviously a huge fan and plays the part with a lot more love and affection.

Gawds, I'm a saddo!

I totally agree with your assessment. And I'm a saddo too lol.
