Doctor Who (Season Two)
So I watched season one of the new Doctor Who and loved it, and bawled like a baby in the final episode. Then I got to the very, very end when the 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) became the 10th Doctor (David Tennant) and this was my response:
So that's it? No more Christopher Eccleston? That sucks. I never watched the original Doctor Who so is that how they did it then? I want Christopher Eccleston, not David Tennant!!! This is depressing!!!
I wrote that almost two years ago (April 16, 2006 to be exact). Well, I finally got around to giving David Tennant a chance and started watching season two last weekend.
I just finished the season and like the first, I bawled like a baby. Maaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. That just broke my heart. He didn't even get to say it. MAN!!! It's funny because I'm not actually the biggest Billie Piper fan. I never have been through the whole run, but she IS Rose and I love Rose so there's that. So I'm really hoping that someday (if/when the show ends again if in the near enough future) we get Rose back, so that she and the Doctor (9th or 10th) can reunite.
Now, I still much prefer CE's version, but I'm okay with Tennant; and really it's just such a damn good show. I figure I'll get the third season finished in a week or two and then I can just dive into this current season (already have 4.1 waiting for me). I won't start season 3 yet though, I need to mourn Rose a bit longer.

I will admit my complete and total bias, that I am a Nine/Rose 'shipper through and through and I didn't care for who Rose became with Ten (a little goofier, and didn't take things as seriously). "School Reunion" was my favorite ep of S2, and I really liked DT's interpretation of the Doctor -- there seemed like there was a lot of history there that I never felt with Nine. :)
I agree, "Doomsday" was heartbreaking. My review pretty much sums up my thoughts about it. :)
YAY, I'm just so glad you're watching!!! You'll have to let me know what you think of S3, too. :D

I am more biased towards Nine/Rose (see icon), but I liked Ten/Rose too and frankly, if Rose ever comes back, she's gonna be with Ten, not Nine so I'm accepting that reality.
I'll have to read your review; I look forward to it.
I'm going to try and finish S3 this weekend, we'll see.
Hey, would you be up for talking sometime? We have a lot in common and it might be fun, just give me a shout at my email (arabean@comcast.net) if you're interested or not.
