Doctor Who
It's official. I'm obsessed with the doctor. I started watching last week, and now I can't stop. It's been very bad for my productivity. I was hoping that ya'll could be my support group. I love that you can still see influences from the original series. I love the personality of the doctor, especially the tenth. I haven't met the eleventh, but I've heard good things. The series reminds me of Buffy which is one of my favorites. They both have adventures that seem lame but are completely awesome! I have to give it to the British. They have a good thing going for them. On a side note, I don't mind spoilers. (Please tell me that there is someone better than Rose and Micky coming.)

I need to get with it and start watching it myself...
ReplyDeleteIt is reminiscent of Buffy at some points, and I'm pretty sure Russel T Davies (the head writer during the 9th and 10th Doctors) cited Whedon's works as an inspiration for how he wanted to do the revived Doctor Who. Its spin-off, Torchwood, is also basically Angel with aliens instead of demons (it even has James Marsters come in at one point playing a character who sounds and acts like Spike!). And the other companions are (in my opinion) better than Rose and Mickey, so you've got that to look forward to. Davies liked Rose a lot, though, so even after she's gone he keeps making a big deal about her for the next two seasons...
ReplyDeleteJames Marsters was my favorite on Buffy. I'll have to watch Torchwood at some point. And ugh Martha is worse. But I do like Donna. Can't wait for her to come back.
