Re: Yeah, it definitely has some very good episodes.... Camilla Send a noteboard - 11/08/2010 11:04:06 PM

The rest of the season after that two parter is pretty amazing. There is one episode called Boom Town that isn't so hot, but it's important to the following episodes, so it works.

Have to sleep sometime, right?

I'm enjoying these so I'm looking forward to the next few episodes. Even if Boom Town is on par with the two parter it will still be watchable.

I'd rate it as slightly better than the two parter, but not much better. You're in for a group of fantastic episodes though. The next one in particular is excellent. Possibly my favorite episode of the entire series.

The rest of them were really good and I definitely think it hit stride at the end of the season. Empty Child and the first half of the finale where great (Bad Wolf). I find myself frustrated by the new Doctor though. Seems week, compared to Eccleston. Seems like you all approve, so he must get better in Season 2?

Season 2 has some very good episodes. The second, "Tooth and Claw" is one of my favourites; "School reunion" is sometimes excellent, sometimes very silly (I think it works better if you know Old Who); "The Girl in the Fireplace" is a little out of joint with the story arch, but one of the best stories seen on its own; it also contains the only two Cybermen episodes I have ever really liked; and "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" is also a very good double, despite introducing some stuff which Davies gets much too fond of and overuses later on. And the season finale...

I really should go back and rewatch the whole season. I've watched the other seasons two or three times, but this one only once I think.

And I'm completely with you on the Cybermen....most of their episodes are terrible.

Are you talking about the Ood? Cause they really got on my nerves after a while. I think he should have left them alone, or at the most used them once more....they just weren't that interesting to me.


I am indeed talking about the ood. I liked the first couple of episodes and they were fine there (typical doctor who monsters in a way). And then he brought them back once, and that was ok, in a way, because it developed the theme of slavery, &c &c, and then he brought them back AGAIN and I had absolutely had enough and wanted them to diediedie. And that is currently my position on the subject of the ood. They are stupid and ugly and pointless.

So, I just started watching Torchwood. Easy question inside. StormCrow - 03/08/2010 04:41:14 PM 710 Views

I'm definitely down with the humor and tongue in cheek I've seen so far. StormCrow - 05/08/2010 02:36:00 AM 443 Views

Awesome, thanks. Definitely continuing with both. StormCrow - 04/08/2010 03:29:06 PM 448 Views
You don't have to watch Dr. Who first. Torchwood stands well on its own. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:54:44 PM 507 Views

That's the kind of thing that would be fun to p/u on when watching Torchwood, for me anyway. StormCrow - 05/08/2010 02:39:03 AM 510 Views

I'll definitely be on the lookout. That was probably the best of season 1. StormCrow - 11/08/2010 03:33:11 PM 450 Views
