Quick Dr Who S1 finale review

[heidi]

Mostly, just gibbering

I don't love the Bad Wolf explanation - is there more on it in S2, or was that it?

Nine's final speech was glorious, and while I apreciate Ecclestone's verve and looks, having watched S2 eps, when he spoke of his "daft old face", I couldn't help but think, "and I'll be ever so very much hotter!"

Was it planned from the start that Nine would be a single-season Doctor? If not, when did that become definite?

Must go back and watch again on dvr, yay. Then I can finally catch up on last week's download of S2...

No more Bad Wolf explanations in S2 -- that was pretty much something Rose did after looking into the heart of the Tardis to lead herself back to the Doctor.

And yes, Chris Eccleston only agreed to do one season for fear of being typecast of being the Doctor, but BBC kept it under wraps. (Although, when the information leaked, the BBC tried to pin it on Eccleston trying to punk out on them, but it was part of the original contract.)

I only caught the end of the finale (and I have no dvr, alas...) but my favorite line so far is "Hm, new teeth..."

That Tennant's a cutie!

Isn't he?

*flails* They left Captain Jack behind! I am so distressed.

Captain Jack's got his own DW spinoff show, if that's any consolation.

Is that where all the fic of Jack shagging his way across the galaxy until he finds them and returns into a snogtastic threesome thing comes from?

Or, at least, should come from...

[zorb]

Yeah, I heard about that, but the breakup of the OT3 makes me sad anyway.

Ooh, can I steal that icon? Also, mmm, Jack.

...

Are you serious? I'd have Christopher Eccleston's babies every day of the week!

I sorta kinda like longer hair...

I'm with you. That smile makes me melt.

Though, I won't complain about David. He's a looker, that one.

I think both are hot. But right now, I'm missing Nine so very much. *sniffle*

:D

That's just fine. More CE for me!

If memory serves me right...

...there *is* a wolf reference of some sort in S2 - we may not be done with that yet.

It's too bad - Nine has been, for me, the most consistently interesting of all Doctors, and I would like to have seen more of what happened during the Time War that made him like this...

[marie-j-granger.livejournal.com]

Me too!

There's a line in 'Rose', though, suggesting that he hasn't had that face very long, which would probably make the Time War the province of the Eighth Doctor rather than the Ninth.
