The new reign begins. So far, I've seen the new episode, The Eleventh Hour twice, and I unabashedly love it. The actors were perfect, the story was a very nice modern day fairy tale, and there was the right amount of instantaneous chemistry between Doctor and his companion.

So I'm slow to react. Just think of me as human Ent.....

Suddenly, Rose totes a huge gun; suddenly, Gwen is an expert markswoman who can fly through the air, shooting; suddenly, Martha can wander the world alone and/or scamper around blasting away with a huge gun with Mickey at her side.....There's a certain pattern of accessory they all need, and it sure doesn't take much to see the psychosexual overtones ( ... )

Agreed on all points. Besides Donna, I have a hard time finding a female lead or secondary character in Rusty's reign who isn't deeply flawed in some stereotypical way. Mothers tend to be sharp tongued and confrontational, like Donna's nasty mother, and the female characters all have the tendency to fall for the Doctor, just as Gwen falls for Jack, because that's what women do, and the Doctor is irresistible ( ... )
