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 loved the idea of starting the series with the admittedly cheesy return of the Autons and the Nestene consciousness. Guess it's just the geek in me. Wait'll you see "Dalek"

Did you see they're bringing back the Sontarans?
