Tomato Tomato. He was a whiney boy with an over-bearing annoyance with red hair. I love the new companion so much more. She's only be in two episodes, and I already love her more than the last two.

I just realized how poorly that phrase works when written instead of spoken.

Fine, I'll agree to disagree, but please try to be less...flippant next time. We could have discussed our disagreements over the companions in a more fruitful and mutually beneficial manner.

1 Ep2: The End of the World- 02/04/05
The Doctor takes Rose to the end of the world in the year 5,000,000/apple/26, where the great and good(rich) gather to watch it on Satellite 5. Plot Arriving on Platform 1, we meet a bunch of guests, and the Doctor flirts with a tree-thing. The last human (Cassandra) shows up and then some spider things hatch and blow up the systems. Rose almost gets burnt alive by the sun, and some robot's turn out to be the bad guys. Except for they're not-Cassandra is. Then she gets blown up! Overall, it's a strange 'mystery' plot that works okay-it focuses more on Rose's reaction on travelling, but it goes Ok. Not as good as Rose, but still Ok. 6/10 Characters This episode expands on both Rose's and Nine's characters-Rose through her planet's destruction and the Doctor through the flirt tree. His survivors guilt plays through, and it's revealed that he's the last of his kind. We also see his ruthless side at the end, showing he's changed from his earlier incarnations. Rose, on the other hand, gets crying and sad. Then goes for chips!(Because that solves everything!!) Cassandra, as a villain, works well-she does it for money, and has a proper motive. She is kind of an ass, but it works. 8/10 Scare Factor Nothing really scary in this episode. 1/10 Bad Wolf Watch: "This is the Bad Wolf scenario"-Moxx of Balhoon Overall A bit of a downside from the first episode, but still good. Better than the next episode anyway. The Doctor showing a dark side also works well though. 6/10

S1 Ep3: The Unquiet Dead- 09/04/05
In Rose's first journey into the past, we meet Charles Dickens and blue refugees/aliens! Plot Dead people get posessed by blue ghosts and one of them visits a Charles Dickens performance. The Doctor and Rose show up, and we meet some undertakers. Hmm, one of them looks like someone from Torchwood-I'm sure that'll never show up. Anyway, Dickens gets his faith restored in the world and the group kick the aliens back to wherever they came from with gas and a match. It's like Die Hard, but in 1869. Then we get to know Dickens dies in a year! Not depressing at all! Anyway, it's a lacklustre plot, with not much drive. I can sit through it, but I'd still rather watch Rose out of the first 3. 4/10 Characters Rose gets a bit of development, finding out she can die and being shaken up. The Doctor does some stuff, but not much. Charles Dickens is good, and he is played well by the actor. It's convincing and good. Gwenyth is good and her clairvoyancy is portrayed well, with her not just using it whenever she pleases. 6/10 Scare Factor The zombies are sorta scary, and they are kinda deadly. 7/10 Bad Wolf Watch: "...The Big Bad Wolf..." - Gwenyth Overall Mark Gatis's first episode is a dissapointment considering the first two. If your friend offers you a choice between this and Operation Overdrive, pick OO. Actually, it's not that bad. 5/10

Oh dear, I go away for a weekend and discussion on this thread opens back up.
Rory was an excellent character. While Amy regressed throughout her tenure, Rory was the one that actually grew as a character. He wasn't a selfish bitch like Amy, and actually fit the bill as a normal person thrown into weird situations rather than the Mary Sue characters Moffat writes female companions as. Not giving him a proper sendoff was a MASSIVE disservice. Quote:
Characters
The characters are well laid out. The Doctor has gone from an enigmatic old-man-type person to a northern, angry man. Rose is shown as a person who seeks variety in her dull, monotonous life. Jackie is shown to care about her daughter, and the Nestene Conciousness is shown to be a smart blob! 7/10 EDIT: DAT COLD WAR POSTER <3 Doctor Who Series 7b Episode Posters Released

Most of the ones I think of when I think old Doctors are strange old man types who waltz in and me mysterious. I know the 5th was young, the 7th was a chessmaster and the 8th is awesome, but it would come as a shock to see someone who we're used to seeing be calm go to explode a building and rage at a machine with such anger

S1 E4: Aliens of London- 16/04/05
Rose has been missing for a year and a spaceship crashes into Big Ben. Plot Rose arrives back on Earth, but, because of the Doctor's 'skills' at piloting the TARDIS, she arrives a year after she left. Everyone thinks she's dead, Mickey's been accused, and the Doctor gets inmterviewed by the police. Then, among all this interesting domestic drama, a spaceship crashes into the Thames via Big Ben. The Doctor investigates at the hospital the pilot was taken to, and finds an augmented earth pig, and someone we will never see again, along with some army people. Him and Rose get arrested and then some alien experts and the Doctor get electrocuted by green farting aliens. Meanwhile Rose and Harriet Jones (MP for Flydale North) find the dead PM, and then get attacked by a woman farty thing. END OF PART 1! The plot is pretty good, comparable to Rose in the domestic dispute. This is the first story that I know of that deals with the departure of a companion from their home (Tegan's aunt DIES and no-one cares!). The Slitheen have a wierd concept but they work okayish. 7/10 Characters This story really helps develop Jackie's personality, establishing her as a caring, worrying mother. Rose shows emotion, and the Doctor is the same as ever. 6/10 Scare Factor Couple of scary moments, with the electrocution being highest on the list. A very short list. 4/10 Bad Wolf Watch - Sprayed on the side of the TARDIS Overall The best episode since Rose. Not as punchy or hard hitting, but still a good watch. Especially as it introduces a recurring character for later in the series.
