That's interesting, Tom. I had the opposite with Smith: I understood and enjoyed him about halfway through his first episode. But, I lost interest as the season progressed. I don't recall what, but there was something I really didn't enjoy about the Pandorica. Then, the impossible astronaut had a terrible resolution and I disliked River Song more over time (she reminds me of Miss Piggy now). I've enjoyed all of Tennant's run since "Smith and Jones" (my first 2005 episode). But, his earlier episodes are ruined for me by Rose.

I think I'm just hyper-critical of story shortcomings. If the basic story doesn't make sense to me (plot holes and contrivances), then I can't engage with the emotional story (if I'm thinking "that is BS" I can't also be thinking "aww, this is so precious"). I know Davies and Moffat let logic fall by the waysidein favor of an emotional story or a 'stylish' or 'cool' moment; But, I loved 'Silence in the Library'; So, I guess some stories are better than others.

PS: My wife is loving the Lego Movie Extended episode.

I kind of liked Mars Needs Moms. They make some interesting choices if I recall correctly.

Wiki says "The film was a commercial and critical flop, and is the second biggest box office bomb in history, grossing less than $39 million on a budget of $150 million." That alone ought to make you curious.

Sold! I'm going to check out season 1 of Justified.

I agree on Breaking Bad, also. I keep wanting to see it, but I am rarely in the mood for the subject matter (I usually catch up on classics like The French Connection, instead).
