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*

"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.
