I'm warming up to Smith, the whole part where he randomly teleports through time was pretty funny. Still miss Tennent though.
The Pandorica was a pretty cool idea, though I hope we'll see Smith interact with a few of Tennent's supporting character's like Sarah Jane or the always awesome Captain Jack.
You need to check out The Sarah Jane Adventures - one of the greatest kids tv shows ever made... Both Tennant and Smith have appeared in this and likely Smith will again...

Regarding ST vs MS: I loved the DT episodes and can't understand that there are people who don' like RTDs writing, but MS ist a new Doctor so he can be as different as DT as he wants and I'm fine with it.
I finally got a few of the older doctors runs and am quite exited how they work in comparison
same here
SJA is allright but I have seen praticly every episode but it is never broadcasted when it is about to start!

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Yes I quite want to give SJ a... oops sorry, off topic there.
Great series these, my kids got me hooked over Christmas as the CBBC (Childrens BBC) digital channel repeated loads of the episodes.
Would love somone to sculpt a 'not' Judoon figure, they'd make a cool army

The new U.S.-based season of Torchwood begins on Starz on July 8th, 10 pm
Bill Pullman, who portrays Oswald Danes, a former school teacher and convicted child killer, and Mekhi Phifer join "Torchwood" alumni John Barrowman (Capt. Jack Harkness) and Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper) in the series. Also joining the cast are Alexa Havins (When in Rome, Fat Girls) as Esther Drummond, a deskbound CIA employee who dreams of active duty and who suddenly finds herself running alongside Jack, Gwen and Rex; and Arlene Tur ("Crash," Eat Pray Love) as Dr. Vera Juarez, a Washington D.C. surgeon, who finds herself on the frontline of medical care on "Miracle Day" advising the government think-tanks on the best course of action for the world's population.
Torchwood begins with a day when nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging, they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can't be a natural event - someone's got to be behind it. It's a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking "What is Torchwood?," he's drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
.. which sounds alright as an opener. I'd prfer something closer to "Children of Earth" but I'll give it a go when it's on.

So will scrofula.
I don't want it, either.
Not overly fussed on this incarnation of the doctor. Amy is nice (but I have a thing for redheads).
There have been perhaps 5 really good stories since the wingnut (Ecclestone) took over the role.
(Started watching with Pertwee, stopped watching during Tom Baker).
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
I really didn't like him at first and still prefer Tennent for quite a lot reasons but I don't hate Matt Smith anymore. Wel, maybe his haircut. Well, and his face. Well, and his Tardis. But the show is overall still really, really awesome!

I'm just jaded with CGI cardboard sets. The real cardboard (wibbly wobbly) sets and THE quarry that was SOOOOO overused in the original series (and also B7 and other mediocre brit SF) were almost as bad.

I noticed the cardbord set only once in the Weeping Angels two-parter. Smith threw himself at an indestructable steel door and it bulgend under his weight.

You know, I can not express in words how much I need more Doctor Who at this point. But all this talk about how the stakes could not be higher is a bit weird considering that we had episodes about the end of time and a bomb that could destroy the multiverse.
But yeah, more Doctor Who. I need it. I need it bad.
You know, I heard so many weird things about Torchwood, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't expect that it still would be so funny. John Barrowman kicks butt.
I also didn't expect that already the 2nd episode would have a sex-related Alien-incursion. If you count the deodarant in the first episode we already had two alien-related (implied) sex-scenes. Interesting.
--- the episode set in the country.. that last line ! --
but at times it did feel a little like they were crowbarring sex/adult situations into it without need.
There were one or two occassions I found myself yelling at the TV words to the affect of "stop trying to get your leg over and get on with saving the fething world. This isn't "confessions of a time traveller" or some such.

Only seven episodes and then a 2 month pause?! Guess I really need to get into Torchwood and Sarah Jane.
