rmTo 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.

The Doctor is allowed to change personality with every actor who plays him. Consistency is to Dr. Who as [fill in witty simile of your choice here].
