Random Thoughts - Doctor Who & Torchwood

[rosy5000]

I finally finished watching all 3 seasons of Doctor Who, just need to see the Christmas special before the new season starts.

Just a few random thoughts...

- Surprisingly, I liked 9 over 10 as the Doctor.  10 is more attractive (which I'm truthful and usually go for), but 9 came across more fun and relaxed.

- For both Doctor Who and Torchwood... after being subjected to so much inconsistency and destroying of canon by Smallville, it was so nice to watch a couple shows that stay so consistent that they even bring back characters (and actors) from the original run of Doctor Who decades ago.  That impressed me so much.

- Even though it may take you a few extra episodes or even through a few seasons, recurring characters or names that make you go 'hmmm' are eventually explained.

- "Blink" from Doctor Who is easily the scariest tv show episode I ever watched. *shudders*

Finally...

- Captain Jack Harkness is the Face of Boe?!?!?!?  That certainly explains so much about the Face of Boe knowing the Doctor and also knowing he wasn't alone.  That little comment by Jack just about made me squeal like a little girl.

Looking forward to keeping up with the new season of Doctor Who now. :D

The funny thing is, a few years ago, my nephew and I were at a used book sale and he got a couple Doctor Who books because a friend on line told him to check it out.
LOL, I remember once complaining to my ex-bf (who remains a close friend) about not being able to find the QAF DVDs even though the store had Doctor Who. I was all, "Who wants to watch Doctor Who?" He turned out to be a casual fan (oops) and tried to get me interested, but I was all ONLYWANTQAFPRETTYKTHX.

Then I saw him again last Christmas, and we hadn't been in touch for half a year, during which the Whoniverse had sucked me up. Suddenly I was correcting his idea of the timelines and plot points XD

I was going to tell you about the returning character in S4, but I reckon you should see for yourself in the trailer I just posted HERE, it's near the end ;-)
