Doctor Who Series 1

[rm]

To more fully grok the world of Torchwood, I am now watching Dcotor Who.

Thoughts so far:

Episode 1: Evil manequins? You started the series with evil manequins?
Episode 2: Some really elegant, nicely performed dialogue.
Episode 3: We meet the Cardiff Rift. I wonder why Eve Myles plays two presumeably unrelated characters in the DW/TW universe named Gwen/Guin. Also wonder why wardrobe department couldn't decide on what year it was.

In general:
Could watch Eccleston read the phone book.
Am not an old Doctor Who fan and therefore must ask whether the Doctor has always been so self-absorbed. He's sort of an ass.

I don't remember her being on Dr Who .. I need to go back and re-watch.

I was heartbroken when Eccleston left as I was slightly in love with him, but as soon as I watched one episode of Tennant I forgot that other guy even existed.

She's the maid in the funeral home who opens and closes the Rift.

I fell for Eccleston when he was Norfolk in Elizabeth.

She is?! Definitely need to re-watch. I wonder if that's going to re-surface in Torchwood?

OH and also, I can't wait for you to get to the 2nd season when Torchwood is created ...
