Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Doctor Who finale, with HARD CORE spoilers:
I knew Christopher Eccleston was leaving but still... wahhhh! The whole "Rose looking into the heart of Tardis and imbued with power of all time and space OMG!" could be viewed as an asspull, but hey, I went with it. It had a lovely fairy-tale feel to it, Rose saving the world then the Doctor saving Rose, with life-force tranferring kiss and all. I really liked the whole feel and the mood of this series--a perfect mixture of camp and whimsy, which often felt more like magic realism than sci-fi. It charmed me thoroughly. (I gotta say, poor Jack, left all alone in that space station, with everything and everyone around him annihilated like that. Anyone know whether the the actor who played Jack is coming back for series 2?)

90 new posts in this thread I assume are about Doctor Who and you are mostly talking about sharks. What a strange start to a morning.
I haven't had this much fun watching science fiction since Buffy, and that's saying something. But then, young blonde women with CGI shooting out of their eyes do tend to have that association.
More spoilers: Lovely dialogue. "I think you need a Doctor". Hah! And the Captain's kisses: I think our subtext just became text.
When the actor who plays Jack said in the Confidential that the thing about Jack when you first meet him is that he has no soul, and being with the Doctor goes on to give him a soul, I almost cracked a rib.
Vonnie, I agree: Jack's look of sadness when he realises he's been left behind was heartbreaking. I don't know if he'll be back, but I more or less assume so because they left it so open. The next time they need a soldier, maybe.
Do you think it was just Jack who was revived, or did all the humans come back to life (the way that we must assume all - or most of - the Daleks got it, though we only saw the ones on Floor 500 and the Emperor's ship actually turn to dust)?
I loved the way the build-up on so many things paid off in the finale. They really have been paying attention.
The new Doctor? 100 times hotter.
Sorry, but David Tennant is MINE. I have already lost count of the number of times I've watched the Regeneration scene. Sigh.

Pity me, for my obsolete laptop won't run operating systems that torrent software will work on.
I've only seen still pictures of Tenant so far, but it is wrong for the Doctor to look that young and hot. WRONG, I tells ya!
Also, while it makes a certain sense that a new regeneration would be as a young adult to maximize lifespan, it does bring up the question of why the Doctor chose to transform into elderly men at least half the time. Wouldn't the Troughton, Pertwee, and McCoy Doctors have represented the loss of hundreds of years of potential lifespan? Or does appearance have no bearing on the relative ages of Time Lords ?
