I was an avid Dr. Who fan as a kid.
I caught the first two episodes of the new series last night. They were OK. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I'll definately stick around just out of loyalty to the original series.
I realize that this season has already been aired somewhwere (Britain?), correct? How many episodes are there? Is there going to be a second season?

Thanks for creating this thread.... I was afraid people would forget after the first week.... this episode is definitely one of my favorites for the new series, I'd rate it just behind the season finale and The Empty Child. Perfect atmosphere, and watching Rose's reaction to arriving in Wales in the 1860s was just buckets of fun.

I thought it was okay, probably the best of the first three. The show's not really connecting with me, maybe it's the stoyrlines, dialogue, and pace I have problems with. But the show still has a cheesy but somewhat classic feel to it and I like the characters enough to keep watching.

it wasn't until "Dalek" that it really connected with me and I am a fan of the old show.

As a Who-nut and a zombie-nut, it didnt do anything for me when I watched it last year.
Its an okay series. I wasnt a fan of the Brit-drama aspects. I thought the show seemed to veer into cheesy, melodrama a bit too much for my taste. Who needs to be eccentric, fantastic, and suspenseful, not weepy.
That said, I look forward to the next series.

Yeah, I am seeing from many of the opinions here that it isnt exactly what American's are used to I had a feeling that it wouldnt be to most people's liking.

Im still trying to decide if Rose is hot or not.
And I really like the show, but I did not like this episode at all. Plus, why was Dickens in it? He served no point.
And everyone seems so impressed with Rose's reaction to stepping out of the Tardis...did I miss something?

1800 SUCKS compared to that.
BTW, isnt she from London?

Anybody trying to decide on whether to continue watching the show shouldn't base their decision on this or the next two episodes. Wait until episode six. That's the one that hooked me and (I think) a lot of others.
