Oh Tom. Forever classic...  My personal grades so far: Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel : Good story, excellent Cybermen...shame about the mustache-twirling "villian". B+The Idiot Lantern : It very much reminded me of a Sylvester McCoy episode. Not their best.. C-

Awesome!! That's a great title! The Impossible Planet. One of the greatest titles this series has ever had! Coolest Titles:
- The Caves of Androzani
- Castrovalva
- Logopolis
- The Empty Child
- The Doctor Dances
- Genesis of the Daleks
- City of Death (!! say it with an overly dramatic 1950's radio announcer voice)
- Parting of the Ways
- Robot
Just an awesome assortment of panache' and pastiche...

I thought this one was kinda meh. Not bad exactly, but nothing that made it really stand out. Probably the worst one of the series so far, though still thoroughly watchable.
OOK OOK ACK EEK!

Well, I haven't seen it yet. But, you enjoyed Idiot's Lantern, so, I doubt I'm going to agree with you...

I watched Dr. Who for the first time last night, with the reality shows that kill people. Odd, but quite enjoyable. And this Doctor is bad-ass.
My only other Who experience was thanks to Nickolodeon years ago. They showed an episode that had a hotel or apartment complex or what have you that ate people.

Man, you're coming right into it in the end of the season. What you watched was part-one of the season finale. I'm surprised that you could keep up with all the continuity referencing. If you get a chance, as I'm certain Sc-Fi will rerun this whole season again, try and catch them in order. Glad you dug it. Yeah, the 9th Doctor is the 'black (leather) sheep' of the incarnations. Intimidating and goofy, all rolled into one...

That he is. That epsiode with the reality tv shows cracked me up. At least the shows they used cracked me up. "you are the weakest link" heh
I've seen up through ep 2x6. Of the latest batch my brother gave me, I only have one left to go, 2x7.
I need to either try and download school reunion myself or get another copy of it from my brother. Because it won't play on windows media player (no matter what plug-ins I've downlaoded) and it just stops (in divix) right after Sarah and Rose laugh about the things the Doctor does, he comes in, then they switch to another scene, outside. I have nothing past that. What also annoys me is that divix won't let e fast forward. I even downlloaded the latest version and am still having problems.
Oh well, took me a bit to get used to David Tennant because he's not as dark as Eschelton(sp) but he still threatens people when needed. I don't think I buy his threats as much as I did the previous Doctor though.
It's a rented tux ok? I'm not going comando in another man's fatigues.

I've finally caught up and have to say that Tennant has really grown on me as far as being the Doctor goes. He is definitely not as dark as Eccleston (who was, as near as I can figure, having no previous exposure to the mythos, a great Doctor), but I see no reason why he has to be. He is definitely carving out his own niche and I find his portrayal quite enjoyable while not taking anything away from everything that Eccleston did with the role.

Quite right, Chewy! Every incarnation that's been worth its salt has been by an actor who knew that being your own interpretation of the character was the way to go.....not copying previous ones. Eccleston was instantly classic. He carved his own dark, brooding incarnation in mere episodes, and, gave us a Doctor we've never seen before. That's saying something, given that eight guys had preceeded him. He was, as is said... "Fantastic!" Tennant didn't truly grab me until 'Tooth & Claw'. At that point, he truly came into his own, and you can tell that's when the actor realized how he wanted to play the 10th Doctor. I attribute at least half of that on the fact that the first two episodes (Christmas Invasion and New Earth) were extremely gay RTD wankfests. Personally, The Girl in the Fireplace has become my number-two favorite Who episode of all time. It just hits me in all the right spots...

This episode definitely made me love Tennant's Doctor. It really wasn't until this one that I became a fan of his...

I agree with Pro on the character thing. If you look at the weakest Doctors, they're almost always baseing their characterisation oon tprevious ones too much. Colin Baker did that, and he was definitely the weakest.
As for David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston, I liked Eccleston initially but he started to grate on me by 'Dalek' (though my dislike of the story itself might have something to do with it). He was just too dark for me, and I foudn that off-putting, I liked him best during the humorous moments (his interplay with Captain Jack was great).
David Temmamt, on the other hand, had me from the get-go. I loved Christmas Invasion and New Earth, though I'll admit they weren't perfect.
As for 'Girl in the Fireplace' I liked it, but not as much as School Reunion or Christmas Invasion. They both broke into my top 10 doctor who episodes, and School Reunion got up there pretty high too. Girl was like Spearhead from Space and Kinda in that, whilst I really enjoyed watching it and would gladly watch it again, it didn't grab me in the same way as (for example) School Reunion, Talons of Weng-Chiang or The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
OOK OOK ACK EEK!

Man, you and I have polar tastes in Who. Which, is cool. But, where you like the silly, superheroic, and light moments....I enjoy the more serious aspects and emotional gravitas. Eccleston was, indeed, the "dark" Doctor. He was the wounded, and scarred incarnation. Racked with survivor's guilt, the torture of his life finally catching up to him. I loved that. That was a genuinely unique way of portraying the character. It didn't repeat past molds in the least. It gave you an entirely new aspect to the character. Tennant, though, took me a bit. Mainly because, while he injects his own brand of whimsy and humor into the role, he also plays heavily at times on past aspects and incarnations. With The Girl in the Fireplace, I was able to glimpse the more mature, and serious nature of this incarnation, and how Tennant chose to portray that. It was those aspects that have won me over with Tennant, and the 10th Doctor. The Christmas Invasion, New Earth, and The Idiot's Lantern were all quite bad. Silly, campy, goofy, bad pacing, you name it. It wasn't so much Tennant that turned me off, but, the script. And while I genuinely love School Reunion, I reserve it in my heart as a nostalgic love letter to the original series. But,as an original, intelligent, witty, and emotionally gripping story, The Girl in the Fireplace beats it out no contest. That's just me, though...
