I spent the whole of that ep of Dr Who thinking "don't say he's half human, don't say he's half human, don't say he's half human..." Well, they didn't. Yet. This new series is so good! I can almost forgive Christopher Eccleston for quitting since he is so good at it we're practically guaranteed 11 more great episodes. Or maybe I should be more pissed of at him because he's good at it, another series with him would have been cool.
I'm probably going to ramble later, but I just snuck on the computer for a few seconds while my mum wasn't here. But now she wants it back!

Why did that last 'human' have to be called O'Brien? I bet we're related or something! Reminded me a bit of my dad's half of the family, too!

Don't worry, they won't touch the half-human thing. Russell T Davies thought the TV Movie sucked ass. (Remember he's the guy who wrote the "Paul McGann doesn't count!" line in Queer as Folk.)

I thought this episode, with its theme of "Knowing something's going to end doesn't lessen it", was a great antidote to the bad feeling that's going around about Chris only doing one season. It also totally rocked my socks.

When I grow up, I'm going to be the Face of Boe.

I loved that line! But with all the TV papers claiming "Eccleston is the 9th TV incarnation of the Doctor" that means that he has to count in some way. Unless they’re wrong! (Oh please! Please!)

When I heard Russell T Davies was going to be involved, I was pretty sure the whole Paul McGann disaster would be forgotten as much as possible. Still, I can't help worrying it's going to be brought up. Then, since no one said anything in this episode where there were so many opportunities, I think you're right, and I can finally relax.

I guess they can't write out McGann completely without losing continuity with McCoy, not to mention a whole slew of 8th Doctor books, one or two of which aren't actually that bad. I can't see him fondly reminiscing about Grace any time soon, though.

I missed it :-(

I guess I'll start having to call you "My Lady" then, oh miss ancestor of the last human. *bows at your feet*

You missed it?! Aaagh! It was so good too!

Do you have BBC3? It's repeated tomorow at 7.

Yep, I'm watching it today at seven :-D

End of the World. Hurrah
