I haven't seen any of the new season. I used to "obtain" the episodes, but it came that everytime I went to the site to "obtain" a new episode, I got another virus on my machine, so I said the hell with it. So I am going to have to wait for them to come on SciFi as I do not get BBC America on my TV package. I'll have to look up when they start airing.
Anyways. I wanted to comment on the various comments about Amy and River and Donna and Martha and Rose. Amy, well, she looks cute in pictures but please reference my first paragraph. River, I remember her from the Library episodes and I didn't like her then. I don't like the actress, all I can see when I see her is that snobby, irritating surgeon from ER -- the British one, that is. All of the characters on that show were irritating! Martha and Rose, well, the first episode of Dr. Who I ever recall watching was "Rose" so they form a weird dichotomy for me, with Rose as the Mary-Sue and Martha as the tool to remind everyone that "Hey, remember Rose? She was great. I miss Rose." Of all of the Doctor's traveling companions since this shindig started up the only one I liked is Donna, who was much more real and honest a character than any of these other folks. Donna also showed a trait which the others lacked -- compassion. Martha, for a med student, seemed awfully heartless a lot of the time. In the Library episodes, when Ms. Clymenestra or whatever her name was is dying, and Donna breaks down and says it was the most horrible thing she had ever seen, that was heartfelt. Same in Turn Right in the alternate universe. I was very happy when the Doctor finally gave her mother the business at the end of, uh, End of Time I guess. I like Matt Smith's look as a dweebie Doctor, a nice change of pace from Mr. Super-Serious and then the Hipster Geek. We'll see how I like his personality. You have to understand, that in my personal perusing of Dr. Who in the aftermath of watching the new stuff, the Doctor I like the best (from both TV and audio plays) is Colin Baker, so do with that information what you will. (Of course I do wish they had done like Baker wanted and given his Doctor something austere to wear, but thats neither here nor there.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
