evening in

Spending this evening eating Thai food, cuddling a teeny kitten, and getting to know the Eleventh Doctor.


First thoughts? Moffat is just incredible.

It's funny, because I've never seen any Doctor Who that wasn't done by RTD - and yet, when I see these new episodes, I sit there going "Ahh... that's what it used to be like..." as if there's some pre-Nine show that I'm remembering (despite it never existing) that was exactly like this one.
It's been given a tiny extra amount of fairytale - and become precisely the kind of show it's supposed to be.



Anyway... KITTEN! *cuddles him some more*

That sounds like a totally perfect night! :)

I haven't seen any of the new Doctor yet. I haven't even seen the specials Tennant did. After what happened to Donna, I kind of lost interest. But with all the great buzz Eleven is getting, I think I might skip the specials and start up with this new Doctor.

I'm still bitter over the Donna thing. I don't know that I'll ever forgive RTD for that. I'd thought I might swear off on the show after that, but Eleven and Amy are much fun. I recommend it.

Ditto. I couldn't watch End of Time, because the thought of seeing her at ALL again after that just made me feel sick.

I totally understand. She's not in it very much, but that almost makes it worse? I think he really doesn't get what a profound thing he did. It makes me queasy.

That's sort of what I did...

"The Next Doctor" was good fun. "Planet of the Dead" had a couple of good moments but was mostly forgettable. I really enjoyed "The Waters of Mars", but I thought they shouldn't have resolved the story so quickly. "The End of Time" was ruined by the last 15 minutes and by the piling on of angst, but the rest was worth it to see Tennant, John Simm and Timothy Dalton in ham-to-ham combat.
