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.

Im curious about something. I noticed in your profile one of your interests (actually 2 of your interestes) are off broadway and off off broadway. i was just wondering if you saw the plae Rent and if you did what did you think of it?>
It's one of my favorite movies.

I've not seen the show, but do like some of the tunes. Alas, I find much of Rent to be objectionable from its uninteresting rip-off of La Boheme to the idea that love can conquer death for straight people but not gay people.

The show gives people the idea that being poor is a clever thing to do, as opposed to a big fucking pain in one's ass.
