xparrotSo we just finished season 2 of the new Doctor Who, and while I'm not quite as far gone as certain people (*cough![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nayecough*) I can totally see why those certain people are. Of course I'd heard of it before, but it's my first experience actually watching any of the series. My not-very-spoilerific reaction (probably spoilers in the comments, though please to not be spoiling me on season 3, which is busy downloading now):
--While I loved Christopher Eccleston's Doctor...Ten!!! David Tennant is the living embodiment of "adorkable." I...he...the cute...no words. *coos and gibbers*
--Doctor + Rose + Jack = OT FRELLING 3 BABY. Holy Moses. Could that be anymore canon? No? I didn't think so.
--I watched Torchwood when it was on (it actually does make quite a bit of sense all on its own) but Jack is better in Dr. Who (what is the appropriate abbreviation for that, anyway? Dr.W? Who? DW gives me Disney Afternoon flashbacks - in the best of ways, but still.) Everyone is better, really. Torchwood is a bit too real-people for me (in spite of the crack); I like my scifi heroes to be Heroic!
--Regarding the season 1 finale and Crack Pairings From Hell That No One Will Get But Me: Source!Lex/Space&Time!Rose. Oh yeah baby.
--Much as I joke about pairings, I completely adore the Doctor's sorta-platonic nature and what he and Rose have.
--Rose is on a one-woman quest to give a hug to everyone in the universe who needs one. I entirely approve. There needs to be more like her.
(--Speaking of hugs and crack crossovers, JD totally needs to become a Companion. He and Ten can trade hugs and hair styling tips and do a "Thank you, Doctor." "No, thank you, Doctor." "No, thank you, Doctor!" routine.)
--I rather loved the end of season 2, too. I mean, it had to happen, so that's about the way I wanted it to happen, since it had to. Still. *sniff*
--I'm sorry, but the Borg trump Cybermen any day of the century.
--So do Daleks, but that goes without saying.
--My biggest problem with the show is that I really don't think I'm supposed to be cheering wildly whenever the Daleks make their inevitable appearances. But! Cutest li'l genocidal coffeepots in the universe! Awww! I am so getting one of these. The only thing better would be if it squeaked you-know-what when you squeezed it.
--"Nice to meet you, Rose. Now run for your life!"
--"EX-TEEER-MI-NATE!"
--In conclusion, much much <3
Also I'm on book 4 of the Dresden Files and quite enjoying that as well. ^_^
