It shouldn't be exciting to watch something for the... um, sixth time? just because it is on television. Especially not given the company. (Not that there was anything wrong with them... really... just that they were not Chosen Companions.) But it really was.

Oh, Christopher Eccleston, how I love thee.

Sorry to disappoint. Even sorrier to say this: I found it to be exceptionally bland. Yeah, Christopher Eccleston was okay, and I guess Rose wasn't too bad either, but really, I am in a state of un-gripped-ness. I am completely smegging un-gripped. Maybe I will like future episodes better. If I remember to watch them.

It is not your fault you are not Laa. In fact it is probably a good thing. And I am aware that a significant portion of my reaction is because of the joy of the part of fandom I know, and the references that we regard as in-jokes. My critical facility in this situation is severely impaired. And my phrasing probably indicates sleep deprivation. Oops.

Plus you would have probably just liked it anyway 'cos of the doctor being... like he is. I think he was quite good, but as Nii-san mentioned to me, the plot was a bit lacking. It's a real disappointment to hear that they've apparantly caved and gone for a series of one-off episodes. It's not bloody Star Trek!

Are you saying I just like it coz I fancy him? Cuz I don't! I admire him, I think he's a good doctor, I like the "stupid humans" thing they've got going. The one-off thing is a bit of a shame, but it's understandable in terms of. stuff. and there are disadvantages to the four-ep thing, mostly being the manufactured cliffhangers and the eps that were just boring.

You? Fancy? A Boy?

Nah, I just think you find him cute, like McKay. You have demented plots laid out in your head for all these characters, and you just love seeing them play to your theories.

Which is great fun!

Hee. You may have a point there.

I forgot about it...

If you have BBC3 I think it is on at 7 tonight. Also there are copies floating around the Intarweb.
