The ending was similar to the first episode, Rose, in which … sob … Oh, waily, waily, waily. Why do the pretty ones always die so young?? sniff erm excuse me. I don’t know if I’ll get used to a show that rotates the main characters so quickly.

Can’t stop, got to keep moving! You miss Rose now, but I know your sort. You’ll have forgotten her within 3 episodes of Martha. Besides, we’ll have had the Doctor the same for two years running, soon. That’s impressive.

If it’s impressive it’s only because the shows set the bar so damn low. Two years English time is only a year American time anyway.

I like the feeling of safety you get watching Who. You know that whatever goes wrong, or has gone wrong, with the show, at least it’s not going to end with the same characters making the same bad jokes and having the same character development as they do every season.

You get 1,290 minutes of TV from two British years of Who. One American year gets you only 902. So it’s more like a year and a half of British time. I’m hoping for a third year from Tennant; just long enough to make the kids almost forget that Doctors tend to die.

In unrelated news (cos I couldn’t find this thread) new cadidate for best episode of anything, ever. Atlantis ‘Sunday’. Awesome, but sucky at the same time. I won’t talk about it til you’ve all watched, but hurry up and watch. I feel a commenting coming on.

If it’s awesome and sucky, how can it be as good as things that are just awesome? People were speaking similarly peculiar things on comments elsewhere. I’ve only just caught up so I’ll look tomorrow. I’m curious.

And how about that Bride, eh? Always running. Away.

Yes, in hindsight it’s no “Becoming” or “Girl in the Fireplace” or “Berrisford Agenda” but its up there for the best Atlantis episode yet certainly. And the sg1 ep was really good too. They’re on a roll over in the Stargate franchise office at the moment - two weeks running with both series’ being some of their best episodes

I’m going to write a blog about Atlantis so we’ve got somewhere to talk about it. But that was definitely the best Atlantis I’ve seen. Felt like a different show, though, in places — much more human and character based than Stargates usually are.

What was sucky?
