Doctor Who, Series 1

[rm]

Episode 4/5: Goofy. Not really my thing. A few interesting twists. Some nice acting. Glad they addressed the repercussions of Rose running off.

Episode 6: I am not an old Who fan, so I came at it like Rose, not knowing particularly what the fuck a Dalek actually was. Amazing, compelling episode, great acting, some funny writing hidden in it.

The Dalek episode cemented the changes between the old series and the new series for me. More than the convincing--and expensive!--special effects, more than the incongruity of seeing the Doctor in the modern world, watching Christopher Eccleston's visceral hatred of the Dalek branded my brain with the realization that no, this is not the Doctor Who of old.
