But this one goes to eleven

adelagiaOh, I am so behind on all my shows, mostly because I've either been busy with the house or have tried to allot my free time to writing, so it's not all a waste. I managed to finish White Collar last week (to which I only had this to say: WHAT?!), Being Human's finale is still sitting quietly in my video list, and I only just got around to watching the DW premiere last night.
I have to say I was pretty skeptical about Matt Smith, especially when we got that promotional photo of him with the weirdly sculpted hair in front of the TARDIS when his casting was first announced, and given that I really loved both Chris Eccleston and David Tennant's Doctors, I was like, WHO IS THIS LITTLE UPSTART?
It was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ems who recently noted that his face looks like a foot, and that is a sentiment I cannot disagree with; I mean, look at him. He's all wrong in the face. But as it turns out, I LOVE HIM. I do get shades of Ten from him, particularly in the way he sort of bounces up and says HALLO! all bright and bushy-tailed; is that on purpose, I wonder? And possibly I am being premature with my fangirl flail since I have yet to see eps 2 and 3, but I am now super, super excited for the rest of the season.
As for Amy Pond, I ALSO LOVE HER. The little girl version of her was adorably fabulous; I want to keep her around for always. Am I right to be concerned that Amy's story could be a retread of Rose/Mickey, though? Hrm.
The actual storyline for ep 1 was kind of middling for me, but considering it was the introductory episode for a whole new Doctor and Companion, keeping the plot really simple was probably to be expected. At any rate, I thought it was a pretty solid effort to showcase the new Doctor/Companion relationship at the forefront, rather than tying them down right away in a lot of running and shouting, heh.
(Also: Hi, Olivia Colman! I recognise you from other things!)
To sum up: DW ♥

on 2010-04-22 08:42 am (UTC)I dunno. I think I have prejudices because Ten was my doctor for such a long time.
Little Amy was absolutely fabulous. The actress is actually somehow related to Karen Gilian, the actress of the adult Amy.
