There's something about him that draws me in. It's so weird.<br /><br />They really need to bring Barrowman back. I need a Captain Jack fix. @Wysefyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551495478578499869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420630784537546774.post-1982952964115763942012-09-11T00:27:50.567-04:002012-09-11T00:27:50.567-04:00Thank you and yes!

I've seen both episodes, and I loved Asylum of the Daleks. I think I watched three or four times. I'm not sure how I feel about Dinosaurs on a Spaceship yet, but I did love Rory's dad. He was pretty cool. I hope you're enjoying it too.@Wysefyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551495478578499869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420630784537546774.post-63465535679987389542012-09-02T18:55:09.996-04:002012-09-02T18:55:09.996-04:00This was wonderfully said and I feel you.

I cry pretty easily but I was doing the hardcore ugly sobs by the end of Tennant's run, and while i resisted Smith, I fell in such deep love/lust it rivaled what I had for Tennant.<br /><br />Barrowman...hnnng.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699566540737059479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420630784537546774.post-88083471691981964162012-09-01T12:36:39.589-04:002012-09-01T12:36:39.589-04:00Hey, look at this--I apparently had a twin out the...Hey, look at this--I apparently had a twin out there in the world and didn't even know it. This is precisely what I did this summer. After years of being just about the only one in my circle of geek friends not watching Doctor Who, I decided why not, I'll give it a shot. I was told to watch the episode "Blink" to get my feet wet and THEN start with Nine, which I did.<br /><br />My progression was pretty much EXACTLY like yours was. Eccleston was quirky and angry and I wanted more of him, and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to handle Ten(nant) when I'd only just gotten used to the dynamics of Nine/Rose, even if Rose did stick around to smooth the transition. Then there was the Rose stuff and Martha and Donna and dear lord, by the end of S4 I was crying all the time and wondering what on earth was wrong with me.<br /><br />I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that someone else was just as much of a wreck as I was. I was actually chanting "fictional character, fictional character" through my sobbing as Ten regenerated. I have since tried to rewatch episodes from S3/S4 and I can't do it yet.<br /><br />You've hit the nail on the head with Smith, as well. I agree with everything you said, and thank you for putting into words the nagging feeling I had about him and couldn't place all through S5--he just seemed too young. The Van Gogh episode is my favorite in the Smith bunch so far and was a tipping point for me, as well.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to S7, partially because I'm excited to watch the episodes in step with the rest of the Whovians. I don't think I quite realized what I was getting myself into when I sat down with Netflix a few months ago, but I'm another convert who's glad I drank the Kool-Aid!Lindsayhttp://www.twitter.com/LJo83noreply@blogger.com
