Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion
First of all: Don't you think Bush looks tired?
Because I'm glad I know finally what the heck that was all about.
Hee. The new guy spent half the episode comatose, which is bloody brilliant because it gives the audience a chance to get used to looking at him and also gives us a chance to criticize him in an obvious way that builds low expectations. If New Guy spends the alien crisis lying there like a sack of potatoes, there's no way to go but up. Therefore making the actor switch more bearable.
It's not David Tennant's fault he's not Christopher Eccleston. It's not. Really. Tennant's going to do a fantastic job. He's adorable and manic and a good actor. But my inner fangirl is pouting. It's very much like when you're craving chocolate ice cream, and been thinking about chocolate ice cream all day, and chocolate ice cream is your one true doctor flavor but when you get to the ice cream place, they're out of chocolate ice cream. Strawberry ice cream is delicious, and so is vanilla chocolate swirl, and dulce de leche, but it's not chocolate ice cream. It's exactly like that.
Seriously, though, their acting styles are different. Tennant seems to be picking up on Eccleston's mannerisms but that will probably blend away in time as he makes the role his own. I'm looking forward to watching it. It's all good, chocolate ice cream or not. :) Also, I thought Billie Piper was exceptionally good in this episode.
Oh, the previews for series 2, huzzah! Anyone know the UK start date? April something?
