RE the New Who...

[seawasp]

... I was uncertain about the new Doctor Who when I saw the first couple of episodes, for a number of reasons. The third one, however, was great. THAT's the old Who spirit, if you'll pardon the pun. I could see Tom Baker in that same episode, or Pertwee. The proper level of humor, of historical reference, of almost-makes-sense technobabble. If the rest of the season's like this it'll be well worth getting.

Shame Eccleston decided to cut out so soon, though. The Doctor is a role like no other. I think he may come to regret that decision in years to come.

The THIRD one? Funny, I thought that was the weakest of the series so far. It was the second and the fourth ones that made me really feel good about the show.

Maybe it's a difference in reasons we're watching, or the like.
