"we've only got five billion years 'til the shops close!"

So I finally caved and watched the first two episodes of Doctor Who (the new series). While the plot of the first one gave me pause, the characters are, well, fantastic. I think I'm in a fair way to being hooked.

I really like Rose . . . though her contemporary British mannerisms keep stabbing me with 'homesickness.' I haven't whined about missing London in a whole . . . couple of weeks. :p Well.

It's going to be an unusual fandom for me: for one thing, no dominating slash pairing (I've heard about the bisexual character who shows up later, but no idea whether there's subtext or not). It may be a show I'm not inclined to read fic for, I don't know. I'll have to see. Still, yay and huzzah for good TV (which I have so little time to actually watch).

(I kind of want to go find the episodes with the Fourth Doctor, which I watched as a kid but barely remember. For comparison. Hm.)
