I am wondering if I should count watching seven episodes of Dr. Who as a big accomplishment - it's not like it was painful - but given my gnat-sized attention span this week, I'm going to go ahead and say: yay! Check that off the list!
And also, oh my GOD I love Nine and Rose. I am trying to block all awareness that their love is not eternal from my mind. Seriously, I don't know what it is, but somewhere between Christopher Eccleston's enormous ears and Billie Piper's metric ton of eyeliner there is love in my soul. I spend half of every episode just smishing them.
I don't know what it is about their dynamic, but their body language here just hits me in the guh.

And additionally, just for the pretty.

.
Is it just that I started paying attention to this sort of thing, or is Dr. Who (at least S1 to episode 8) really beautifully filmed? Because I was playing with screencaps, and seriously, so many shots were so well-composited that it felt like someone had drawn them.
I'm up to 1x09, The Empty Child, and the episode could seriously be retitled "The One Where Rose Does All Her Thinking With Her Ladyparts", but on the other hand, I am pretty sure that Captain Jack smells fantastic, so it's not really her fault.
I am amused at the fact that Captain Jack's first on-screen line was, essentially, "nice ass". And that most of his early character development is devoted to the fact that Captain Jack is universally pro-ass, indeed. I know the Captain circa Torchwood fairly well, and it is interesting how young dw-era Captain Jack is, and how seriously he takes his early and somewhat nascent angst. Oh, Captain Jack. You really have no idea what canon has in store for you.
I am also enjoying that I am part of a long tradition of people who are really, really curious about how Time Lords reproduce.
ETA: Re: The Doctor Dances: Really? Did a particular OT3 just enter the canon in a big camera-fades-out sort of way? Because y'all were telling me it was canon, and I was not believing you, which shows what I know.
