New Who 2x01
Seriously, no wonder England has a reputation (in my faith-crazed country) as a secular place. You've got Dr. Who!
No, I'm not trying to really bring the crazy, I'm just saying that he's an incarnated immortal being who cures lepers. Seriously, Russell T. Davies, I might have to dock some athiest points for that.
I mean, one of the reasons I'm falling hard for the Whoverse is that its hero actually makes moral choices I agree with (you would not believe how hard it is to find heroes who I don't think should actually be in jail for war crimes, no wait, you would believe it). I hope a little dose of "he's like Jesus, in a way" doesn't spoil it for me.
I am still suspending judgement on Ten. To be honest, before I started watching, I expected to prefer the later, cuter Who, just like I preferred the later, cuter Ray. I definitely haven't fallen hard for Ten, but he is an adorable, bouncy little fellow. I like his shoes? I am a little annoyed that they ditched the guy with the chemistry right before the body-swapping makeouts, but ::represses Doctor vs. Doctor feelings:: I will enjoy the shiny, dammit.
I am hoping to actually get caught up, because I have never (seriously) watched a show as it happened. I've always watched whole seasons at once, usually from a closed canon. And it would be nice to be able to spread out the squee over a longer period of time, instead of all of it happening over one weekend.
Also: do we just assume there are other rooms in the TARDIS that we never see, or do they exist in a timeless sort of state where they never have to sleep or eat or go to the bathroom?

Re: The Doctor is dead, long live the Doctor.
And good luck finding Viva Blackpool; it was on BBC America last year, so maybe it'll turn up. Last I knew it wasn't on region 1 DVD.
I attempted to process the question of which is cooler: the TARDIS or the Falcon. And then my brain exploded. (And then I wondered if anywhere there exists Ninth Doctor/Han Solo fic. If so, I shall report back.)
Re: The Doctor is dead, long live the Doctor.
Apparently all it takes is a little speculation and it's pretty much a fair fight.
I am always, always pro-recs posts.
Re: The Doctor is dead, long live the Doctor.
God knows when it will go up, but hey: good intentions, road to hell, etc.
