Time Crash

I thought people might want to talk about this. I adored it. I really liked Peter Davison as the Doctor. I really love how well they've managed to blend the classic DW with the new series. I can't hink of another show that has managed that. Certainly Star Trek didn't and they completely redid BSG.

PD looks great, altho I'm not sure his energy is quite the same. I thought Ten was dead on on so many levels. I really love these little extras. Funny that the confidential was way longer than the clip.

It was really well done, wasn't it?

Although I had to have a chuckle at DT's Doctor telling PD's Doctor that he was his Doctor - such a fan thing to say The Doctor has his favourite Doctor

For being such a short, fun, funny little thing ... it actually made me cry. There was such affection in DT's eyes when he told PD, "You were *my* Doctor ..." That one moment somehow managed to sum up the way in which "Doctor Who" resonates so deeply with its fans. I loved it!

And oh, the conversations were just marvelous. _Marvelous_!

"Not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable."

"And it would help, it would _really_ help, if there wasn't some skinny idiot ranting in my face about every single thing that happens to be IN FRONT OF HIM!"

"Ah. Okay. Sorry ... Doc-tor."

... and may I point out the joyfulness of the "no beard, but a wife" joke, which I did not get the first time round?


EDIT: Oh, and I found this on IMDB:
"David Tennant wrote the speech where the Tenth Doctor explains the characteristics he inherited from the Fifth Doctor and tells him that he loved being him. He included the line 'You were my Doctor', because Davison was Tennant's favorite Doctor when Tennant was growing up."

Does anyone know if that's true? If it is, it's fan*tas*tic.

I don't know if it's true, but I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that Davison is Tennant's favourite Doctor, and so I had assumed that line had been put in to reflect that - whether by Tennant himself, or by the writers, I don't know. But he certainly delivered the line with real feeling.

David Tennant fanboying Peter Davison was just too cute. And GREAT dialogue. I couldn't pick out my favorite line because they were ALL great!!

If you really, really forced me, I'd probably go with: O... kay.... DoctAH!!!

I was actually surprised by this cause I'm sure I've seen Ten say Tom Baker was his fav Doctor, but then, timeline wise Ten is a little YOUNG to have Baker as his doc. I grew up with Baker and we had to deal with PBS getting stuff much later than your first run in the UK BUT we got lots of re-runs. Did y'all get lots of re-runs?

We got a fair few re-runs.

We don't really get the old ones now though, they just repeat the new ones to death!
