Dr. Who!

[foxmonkey]

I was about to give Dr. Who a miss, then I realized that the good doctor himself is Christopher Eccleston, who played Major Henry West in 28 Days Later, one of my all-time favorite movies. Yay! Don't know if I'll watch every week, but I do like Christopher Eccleston. Hmmm. We shall see. It's better than that lameoid John Doe, that's for sure.

I hope you like it as much as I think you will.

It's already passed a couple of major hurdles. They completely bypassed the Annoying Girl Sidekick! cliche, which was *quite* refreshing.

I very much liked the way Rose responded to tree-girl's (Jane?) interest in the Doctor. She smiled a bit as the two of them went off to check the service corridor - if there'd been one whiff of jealousy or poutiness, I'd have been *so* out of there! But the look on her face was kind of cute, like, 'Go, Doc! Spank that tree booty!'

Is Rose his only other traveling companion, or will there be more?

Oh there's more..

You get Captain Jack - the gay space cowboy :)

See, this is a role Lance should have auditioned for. ;-)

How many travelers will there be? I know I could go to a site, but it's more fun to ask fans. :-)

Oh, oh there will be more. One ... blip who really seemed to be a plot device, a tool for showing something about the Doctor and Rose, and then a truly wonderful, wonderful character. I'm a bit nervous of talking about future episodes for spoiler reasons but if you want to be spoiled the show's official site is full of it, of course: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/
