Eps 2 and 3, I think, were the weakest of the season. Still, I liked them enough to keep coming back for more. "The End of the World", yeah, I didn't quite get why Rose would get all wigged about the Earth finishing its life cycle in its appointed time. But then maybe she hadn't quite grokked that bit of science before. Still, and even as big a fan as I am of kewl explosions, I'm not 100% sure I'd dig a date who took me off to see Earth Death.

ETA: Who am I kidding. If the Ninth Doctor showed up on and offered me a chance to be his Plus-One at that event, I'd be all for it.

I think it's one thing to know that your planet and species will die out someday, and quite another to see it. I think it would be a pretty upsetting experience.

Plus that "last human being" -- yuck.

We watched last night. Dr Who is a different show - I can't quite take it as seriously as other stuff I watch. But it was fun. I have more thoughts, but they don't seem super coherent. I think I need to see more shows.

2nd half of season 2 DVDs out in September?

That would make sense, at it's right before they start showing the new shows. (They've done that twice now, right?)

The second one is Rose doing her culture-shock freakout, and it's actually pretty mild considering the dislocation she's going through.

There's a very positive Doctor Who view-and-post over at Geek Philosophy.

I think the series really kicks off with The Unquiet Child eps. Those were seriously impressive.
