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.

Date: 2008-04-15 12:30 am (UTC)I don't think the Doctor is an ass. He certainly has his issues, yes, but I don't think he's an ass. Though he's not exactly polite either. As others have mentioned, he has a lot of survivor's guilt and issues about the Time War, plus a fair amount of arrogance, but on the other hand, he genuninely has something to be arrogant about (imho).
But then, I'm a big fan of the Doctor, and if I saw the TARDIS, would be throwing myself at it the first chance I got.
