Interiors look much better. And I think this is the big geekgasm moment the writer was talking about:

it could be, but if that was the big thing, seems a bit anti-climactic to reveal it in the interview.

Look at the Hartnell costume.
Its defo playing on the black n white aspect of the show back then.
Not even trying to add any shades or tones!

I think the only reason Troughton's pants are green are to differentiate it from Hartnell.

it'd probably be better as a novel really wasn't all that great a story, to be honest. It's one of the three Doctor Who novels I've ever actually read. Uschi, which Doctor's have you seen? How familiar are you with the show and history and all that? You seem to be much more intune with it than I would expect from a newcomer. You watched Baker as a kid, right?

My Dad liked it and my two oldest sisters almost got one of the action figure sets from a PBS donation (but Dad was too stingy and opted out. mom still calls him out on that). He didn't watch it much when I was around, but I found it on PBS when I was 8 or so. Watched mostly random Bakers, then Davidson (whom I both hated and crushed on), then a episode or two of the really colorful guy. I know little, but I do have experience with the Doctor.

I saw both parts of THE Library today, I must say I really enjoyed it. Much better than the third part of that Master one which was almost worse than Burg made it sound.

I first saw Doctor Who on PBS. My first taste of Who was Patrick Troughtan's The War Games.

Yeah, age six (1978) went looking to catch the tail end of 3,2,1...Contact, and ended up suddenly watching some bizarre, curly-mopped wide-eyed guy with a weird accent, and an impossibly long scarf, running down a corridor, away from these gay-looking trashcans yelling "EX-TER-MI-NATE!".
Naturally I was hooked.
USCHI, glad you like The Library two-parter. The writer is Steven Moffat. He's taking over the show in 2010.
Speaking of the show, I just got through watching the one that aired in the UK tonight.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Epic.
Here's hoping RTD doesn't gay-out in the end...

You want some brilliant non-Who Moffat? Netflix/rent/download Jekyll (the guys in my avatar and sig). I really think you, of all people, would enjoy it...

What one reviewer said about tonight's episode, The Stolen Earth: "Like being given a blow-job at a "Dr Who" convention whilst Murray Gold hums the "Dr Who" theme tune in your ear. You feel a bit cheapened, but you're gonna get your rocks off anyway."

I never saw it or heard of it on PBS, and I did watch PBS shows as a kid so I'm surprised I missed it. I would have really loved the older series as a kid. But the first I remember hearing about it was a few offhand references on other shows and the 1996 movie.

And I did like how a bunch of offhand remarks from earlier episodes about missing planets and lost moons was tied together nicely. And it was fun seeing an insane giggling Dalek.

I have doubts. They've said he's confirmed to stay throughout the specials in 2009 but said nothing about series 5 in 2010. But I can't see them cheapening the regeneration sequence by going through the full FX and then not going through with it.

Good episode. I'm sure RTD will use some crazy bullshit to fix up everything that he's done thus far yet again to totally kill the ending just like he did last season and the first.

A teaser trailer for next week's 65 minute finale. All US/Sc-Fi viewers are warned of Spoilers... how many times does Davies need to do the same Dalek cliffhanger, only with more characters thrown into the mix? you know that no matter how good the setup is, (and he is quite good at setting them up. it's one thing he does do well.) that the ending is just not going to live up to expectations. he has no idea how to resolve these things. Bad Wolf? Doomsday? excellent setups that leave you breathless. but the resolutions? lacking. severely lacking. he needs to find a writing partner to help finish stories (and hopefully add some new ideas!).

And yet, it was still a damn good episode! Of course he won't finish it off with any great triumph. But, he's leaving. So, I'm not only willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as far as big changes, but, I'm willing to give him some room to wank a bit...
