Great show! Also, the True Blood comment is a bit crazy. There are so many great vampire movies/tv shows! Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Near Dark, Monter Squad, and Buffy to name a few. True Blood is good, don't get me wrong, but why must everything be a competition! Plus it has only been on one season, and is kinda a porn(not that I mind). Why must Eureka be ignored on this site!

I really need to remember that intentionally exaggerated flouncing does not translate to text. :) "Who's your favorite Doctor?" is one of the most dangerous questions in fandom, and every actor has his following. Personally, I like Chris and David about equally as far as their acting, but David has a slight advantage by dint of his fanboyishness. I love sci-fi actors who are also unabashed sci-fi geeks. Donna grew on me by the end, but yeah, Martha is definitely my favorite of the new series' companions. She's right up there with Sarah Jane and Ace as far as I'm concerned. I really liked Rose until they started in with the whole doomed romance thing. Meh. I kid, Lisa.

Although, not as much as that last companion. I HATED Donna. (Martha Jones 4EVER!)

Plus, it was co-created by Jane Espenson, whom I luff beyond words.

'Nuff said. * <b>Being Human</b>: I've heard good things, and they're using it to launch BBCA-HD, so it'll at least look pretty. * <b>Planet of the Dead</b>: Also seen through less-than-legal means. Michelle Ryan's actually a halfway decent actress when she's not concentrating half her energy on maintaining a different accent. The plot's pretty meh, and the deus ex machina of it is a little out there, even for <i>Who</i>, but hey, it's all we're getting until freaking <i>November</i>, so I'll take it.

(Also the comment box is being tetchy, so I've broken it in half.) * <b>The Listener</b>: I watched last week's episode. Not bad, but it reminds me of a cross between (yes) Matt Parkman and a first season episode of <a href="http://www.shadowunit.org/" target="_blank">Shadow Unit</a>. The main characters are interesting enough that I'm willing to give it a couple more tries to win me over. * <b>True Blood</b>: I have to admit that I enjoy the TV series a thousand times more than I did the first book in the series. (And I could only drag myself through that one because I'd promised a friend I'd read it.) That said, calling it the best vampire thing ever makes my inner <i>Buffy</i> and <i>Interview</i> fangirl go "Hey!". * <b>Impact</b>: Seriously? Ugh. * <b>Merlin</b>: So looking forward to this. Mostly for Tony Head, but at the very least the rest of the cast seems eye-candy-ish enough. * <b>The Next Doctor</b>: Saw it through less-than-legal means on Boxing Day. Not the best <i>Who</i> Christmas special ever, but pretty entertaining to see the two Davids together again. (Mmm, <i>Blackpool</i>.) And <i>"...tired of David Tenant</i> [sic]"?! How can that be?!?!! That's a lot to geek out over, so I'm gonna go with bullet-points. (Also the comment box is being tetchy, so I've broken it in half.)

They do get a bit emo about their conditions at times, but it's still very well written and acted. Being Human is kinds awesome.
