I just saw this today, and I loved it! So fun, so quirky, so timey-wimey, such good dialogue (At last, a lie too big!), and so visually and conceptually beautiful. I have to admit, I even shed a tear when the Doc showed Karzan the future.

Okay, there's a lot more than timey-wimey involved in
this. O.o

I knew they were dating a while back, but I was just wondering if they were still together ... obviously they are! How cute! Their kids are going to be illegally cute!

I would be interested in other non-DW work with David Tennant. The Keys of Marinus is, imo, a very good Hartnell DW story. This can be seen on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8J3d...D03E5E&index=1 The Talons of Weng-Chiang is a good Tom Baker DW story. I like the costumes and scenery of this story. Makes me think of Sherlock Holmes' London. Quote:

nope ... I think it's different in different parts of the country, too - I remember being behind a few shows.

On a related note - I've been watching Torchwood lately, just because of Dr. Who. It's so-so ... definitely not as good as the Doctor.

It never quite managed to get to the Doctor Who levels, IMO. But then Doctor Who has high standards to compete with.
There were some good bits and episodes in Torchwood but it was so-so mostly and even rather poor in other places too. The characters annoyed me to no end as well, especially during the first season, it eased a bit during the second one, but not that much. The Sarah Jane Adventures is the better spin-off series if you ask me.

The first two seasons were entertaining, at best, and obnoxious at worst. The third season actually gets to be Genuinely Good, though; so much so that I wanted it to end there, and was disappointed when I learned there was going to be a fourth.

I never cared much for torchwood in DW, so I was not going to watch a series based on torchwood.

There are three seasons now, starting on the fourth. It's a kid's series, obviously, but it's a series I know I would have loved when younger.

Hey, I just found out that 'Torchwood' is an anagram of "Doctor Who"!

Yes, apartly that's on purpose. The stoy goes that they used the anagram Torchwood -I think during the first new season- as a undercover name when transporting the taped final episodes. Nobody would link Torchwood with Doctor Who at that moment, so nobody would look at them twice. Then they decided they liked the name so much, they incorporated it in the series.

Yeah, that's a fun bit of trivia
SO - does anyone here remember how Torchwood (IOW, Jack) ends up with the Doctor's hand in that bubbly glass jar? I had to look it up - and I just happened to see that particular episode a few days ago Now THAT is a bizarre link between the series! I finished Torchwood via Netflix - the Children of Earth ending was very interesting ...

Yep, I remember!
Children Of Earth is one of those things which, while I thought it was stunning, I'm not sure I could easily watch again. Talk about bleak...
