Finally got around to watching this too...

First, the confession.

I am not a Doctor Who fan. I've never really watched any of it before.

I didn't even see the Christopher Eccleston series last year - although
I did see the finale episodes on a plane flight last year (the Reality
TV parodies, followed by the final Dalek confrontation). I didn't see
the Christmas Invasion.

So I watched this one with very little DW background.

But it was good. Fun, entertaining, not too hard to follow (for someone who watches a lot of Sci-Fi). I'm a little confused at a few bits of pieces of exposition that the Doctor said with regards to the Matrix-pods - how the hell could he work out so much so quickly, and was he even right? But putting that aside, it was quite a clever episode.

Plus, preview for the next week's - Queen Vic vs Werewolf, heh, that should be fun.

The Doctor

The Doctor is ancient, and has been to the future many times. Also, he works out a lot of things along the way (much like Sherlock Holmes) without "giving it away" - remember how he had noticed that Rose was 'wrong' - but he's not always right (accusing the Cat-people ...) Was he right about the pods? Who knows ... (sorry ;)

I'm a DW fan, but not obsessive.

The new-Who is founded upon good writing - like the best of the old Series were. With the bonus of a decent budget this time.

Not having see last years eps, you missed a lot of the links, I suspect.

They've played a bit with British history in the last Series (and earlier ones). There are very few sacred cows in DW. Everything is up for grabs.
