So I totally loving the "Friends in your Head" bit.

Not sure I'm a big fan of the "What Are You Doing, Movie?" name, probably coz it's too multisyllabic. DIF was three syllables, this is SEVEN.

I love that Strax and Madame Vestra w. Asskickery Ninja Wife in Victorian London seems to be a reccuring thing.

Are we.... are we.... preparing for a spinoff? Coz I'd watch the HECK out of that one!!

THAT was an awesome episode. I loved how the "flashback" was done old-timey with tinny piano and the lot....!!

Oh the 1000-suits at the end was just another layer of shite. The movie (and trailer) made this BIG DEAL out of all his suits being blown up - the only suit he had left was that mark 42 thing he was dragging across the snow... THAT WAS THE POINT.

Then, suddnly, totally out-of-the-blue and deus-ex-machina, he SUDDENLY had 1024 majikally autonomous suits, that he still could majikally jump into? Bollox.  [Not to mention the total inconsistency between the suits being driven by his ARC reactor when *he* wears them, but magically not when other people (or nothing) is wearing them]

Shite.

Need. More. Dynamo.

I am just so worried that del Toro won't find the right tone. He doesn't have a good sense of humor. I think he is often trying to be "funny", but his funny is kinda ... strange funny, rather than funny funny. Like... punching Godzilla with a ship? Seems funny. But yet... played with a ponderous seriousness that makes you wonder... is that really supposed to be as tounge-in-cheeky as it could be? He confuses me.

Hey - I said I tolerated here. Only it was just barely.

I preffer the Doctor's companions Spunky. I don't find rose Spunky.

She sorts in the "kinda thick" category, with Donna.

Wow, how many ways can I possibly disagree with you?

* I rather take one Moffat script than five Russel T Davis ones
* I find Tennant grossly overrated - I much preffer Smith.
* River Song is probably the awesomest thing that has happened in Who-dom. Not only is Alex Kingston cool, the whole wibbly-wobblyness of heir intertwination w. the Doctor is Awesome (tho I agree that the start of "Lets Kill Hitler" glossed over WAY too many stages of her development, that was half a season of potential Awesome turned into a montage of bizarre madness)
* I can barely stand Rose. Unfortunately she'll be in the anniversary episode. Just HOPE we don't get Mickey or Rose's horrendous Mother!

So here's what I liked about the end of this.

Dredd *passes* her for a very obvious reason... yet they do not state it. Just like before, it is all glances.

And if you missed the reason? She does NOT lose her primary weapon.... she just loses the gun.

Her primary weapon being - obviously - he Psi abilities.

Like many people, I was very "Tennant" but Smith won me over rapidly, and right now I'm hardcode Smith.

I started "new series" first, so I also liked Eccleston for a while, but I really didn't like the low-rent nature of Rose and her family (Rose's mom bugs me the hell out, as well as her useless boyfriend guy). I think the "level" of companions have upped drastically w. Smith (tho I'm actually happy that Amy/Rory left coz they had overstayed their welcome, and I while I liked Amy, Rory was played so blandly that... no). I'm intrigued by the newest companion (who has now died, and resurrected? Are we gonna get a "Who Killed Kenny" element to the doctor?). And I love the newest blue-laser Tardis interior. Mmmmm....!!

I've dabbled in "older doctors" (had my fair share of Tom Baker) and while I still like "the doctor" as a character and a thing, I have it rather hard to get away from the extreme cheesiness of the produciton, most notably in the area of audio, which is very 70's "you get whatever was there on the day, basta" including the sound of feet on "wooden sets that are supposed to be space metal" and such [you can much easier forgive bad visuals to bad audio].... the production values on the new series are just awesome in comparision, and keep getting better.  I just hope they stop w. the Daleks, I'm *SO* tired of them.

I don't get the dislike for series 6 - as a whole season it probably has The Most Awesome Arc Ever (and River Song just kicks ass, Sweetie), but it COULD have been handled better ("Lets Kill Hitler" was super rushed, and "Mels" as a character was just silly on so many ways, the whole thing was rushed from what could have been 3 clever episodes, etc. etc....) ... but OVERALL... I just love it....ESPECIALLY when taken together with the short mini-skits on the DVD extras, which expand the Doctor/River Song thing even further.

And Bowties are cool. So there.. but then again.... Allons-y! And have a Jelly-baby.
