Random Dr. Who stuff

wiseheartSo, thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
altariel and the_wild_iris, not to mention my own good luck in Vienna, I'm now the proud order of Series 1 (C. Ecclestone), 3 and 4 (both D. Tennant) of the new Dr. Who. I foresee no sleep in the remaining week of my holidays at all. *]*
I must admit that I watch them a bit randomly, so my impressions are rather... erm, mixed. As I only saw the episodes with Jack Harkness before (thanks,rcfinch!), my chronological order is already messed up, so what the heck...
Impressions in no particular order:
- Donna Noble is awesome (and not only b/c he slapped the 10th Doctor twice in "The Runaway Bride")
- So is Martha, but I already knew that. I loved her in her TW visits already.
- Tenth Doctor is still getting on my nerves. Perhaps it's work-related; I have to deal with manic, hyperactive teenagers on a daily basis. I like Nine, though. At least he's an adult.
- Martha's family is hilarious. Rose's Mother is a horror. Small wonder the girl turned out a bit twisted. Donna's Gramps is very loveable.
- Sarah Parish as evil Spider Queen was awe-inspiringly creepy. Still, why is this beautiful woman always playing monsters? (See the troll in "Merlin"!) Yasmin Bannerman as Jabe, the tree-woman is amazing. Someone has an icon with her and with the inscription "I know where the Entwives have gone" - I find that great.
- Was interesting to watch "The Sontaran Strategem", as I've resurrected some of the UNIT personnel for Torchwoodgate. Now I relly need to get my grubby little hands on "The Planet of the Dead", so that I can see my chosen villain, Dr. Malcolm Taylor, and Capt. Magambo in action.
- First Rose episode actually wasn't that bad. The killer plastic puppets were creepy... almost as creepy as Rose herself. Erm... yes... no, I could bear her better than I thought I would. Still not liking her, but not half as bad as Gwen-bloody-Cooper from TW. And at least she has the excuse of being very young at the start.
- Colin Morgan was cute in "Midnight". But I guess I'm biased.
Stupid DVDs I bought in Vienna don't have English subtitles. C. Eccleston isn't always easy to understand. Sometimes I have to switch to German dubbing. Ah, well, it's still a great experience.
Watched some classic episodes online, too. I seem to like the Third Doctor. He really has class.

Doctor: I just need a mate.
Donna: I'm not mating with you, sunshine! *rotlf*
