Oh man, I love it when Doctor Who is over dramatic.  SO HILARIOUS!  Sorry, I really shouldn't be laughing at people dying, but... I CAN'T HELP IT!  Especially with that super dramatic music, which makes it even better.  And the crappy special effects!  Gah, I love it.  And David Tennant always totally sells the Doctor's pain at losing people/aliens, but he's over it in about 2 seconds, which makes it even harder to not laugh.  Anyway, it resulted in one totally kickass moment of the Doctor flying with the angel things, so that was cool.  But overall it was just a meh episode.  I don't think anything will ever beat the Christmas ep from series 2, where David Tennant became the Doc.  I have yet to see an episode that made me as giddy as that one did.  But as much as I love David Tennant as the Doc, I actually think I like series 1 better story-wise.  It just seems like series 1 was so awesomely written and the characters were complex and interesting and everyone got just as much development as the Doc did.  Series 2 was pretty darn good too, but it started depending solely on David to sell the stories.  Then series 3 it was all about David, as was this episode.  I love him to death, but I need more than his awesomeness and crappy effects that make me laugh.  Anyway, it was still a fun watch.  I'm interested to see who the new companion will be (I've kept myself completely spoiler free considering I don't venture into the Who fandom, so I just get little tidbits from my British friends, most of which is "I want to live in Ten Inch Tennant's pants." *rolls eyes*).

OH!  Also, I saw an ad for series 2 of Robin Hood, which starts on Saturday, April 26th on BBC America.  I hope I remember to watch!  I tend to always forget about Saturday programming, which is why I missed series 1 on the first go around, and why I couldn't keep up with series 1 of Torchwood (although, to be honest, I thought Torchwood was utter crap, so I didn't try too hard to keep up with that one, but I hear it got better during series 2, so now I'm bummed that I didn't keep watching it).

Hmm... that's a good question. I have no idea when season 3 starts. But I'm still bummed that my favorite dynamic will be gone. :'(

Hee. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that loves the crappiness of it all! Hee. Torchwood was a little too crappy for me to enjoy though. :( At least Doctor Who actually has a plot.
