What I'm getting at is, that such a simple and short piece of CGI (ie the future Earth sequence) could look so poor, yet next weeks Ep has the most complex & impressive CGI I think I've yet seen in a BBC production. Doesn't make sense.
I found no reason to complain about 'any' of the effects in series 1. I've never expected Zoic quality effects from the BBC, and I thought the effects from all of the 1st series were good to very good, just that 1st sequence I think was very bad. I can imagine an American audience, used to BSG etc, scoffing at that. Infact the 1st series is not doing well over there as it is, I think it's only getting around 1.5 millions viewers now

Enjoying the new series too, though have missed some epsoodes from the first series.
I don't mind Miss Piper as Rose, but I feel that there needs to be another companion. It erks me that Rose can do no wrong and is so clever. It's just a little fustrating. Can't understand why they left Captain Jack behind. He could keep up with the Doctor scienctifly most of the time, plus he didn't mind fighting every once in a while, (and he was charming, something CE wasn't). Billie can't really pull off the one-liners all the time.

Captain Jack was left behind because he's getting his own spinoff series called 'Torchwood'.

well i agree with your comments but its boe not boa, ughhh, and the eppy was called "new earth" not new world. We americans are having to go bootleg the shows but hey i get my doctor fix on a regular basis. lol
My blog has my review here:
http://www.memphisweb.net/entry.php?u=tylermayhem&e_id=219
along with pics from the episode {one great one of the aformentioned boe hehe} and a few spoiler pics from the next eppy "tooth and claw" David tennant is growing on me, not as quiclkly as DE did as a Doctor, but he is getting there. Was kinda disturbing they referred to the Doctor as the lonely god. But the bad wolf scenario for this season is at least out of the bag :
He teleports away promising that he and the doctor shall meet for a third time, the last time where the truth shall be told. His teleporting was green like the inside of the tardis too curious curious.
all in all the eppy was not a dissapointment at all.
"There are better things to do today, dying can wait.I'd grown tired of the universe doctor, but you have taught me to look at it anew."

Wow how good was 'Tooth and Claw' tonight? :) The werewolf looked great and the fact that Queen Victoria was the founder of Torchwood was genius. I can't wait for next week as Sarah Jane Smith and K9 are in it :) I think i am going to have to buy the DVDs from the begining. I haven't seen a bad episode yet. Really inspired TV.
I want to watch 'brotherhood of the Wolf' now :)

It's the only show, since Firefly, that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when the theme tune kicks in. The neighbours must hate me when Dr Who is on as I tend to jack the volume up on my surround sound system. Also like Firefly, I hate to see the end of the episode.

Very good episode, I was much more impressed with DT than I was last week.
Looks to me like Mr. Head won’t be playing The Master after all. Shame…

Who do you suppose is in there?

Made me want to go and dig out the "Dog Soldiers" DVD.
Good episode, although I did bury my face in my hands when they trotted out The Effect That Has Got The Most Old In All The Known Universe.
Happily it didn't get overused.

I love the bet between Rose and the Dr to see if Rose could make Queen Victoria say 'I am not amused'. LOL. I typed alot more after this relating to the end but I forgot our American and Canadian cousins who are Dr Who fans wont have seen it yet. Sorry guys :(
