And honestly, you're better off skipping Miracle Day. Again it has its moments, but not only is it longer than it needs to be but it just opens up even more questions with new characters which are shallow replacements of the older ones.

The problem with Captain Jack is that is entire set up is a dropped plot point. Those years taken away from him by the time agency? Never mentioned again.

I agree, series 2 is where the truly solid episodes are but I enjoyed at least a couple from series 1. Not many mind you, Well mainly just the last 3...

I've been completely out of the loop lately with DVD releases and didn't even know they'd animated the missing episodes of this. Fanboying like mad here

How are these Animated episodes? Do they achieve the feel and look they aim for?

It isn't amazing as there probably isn't enough interest to warrant a higher budget for them sadly, but I would gladly take all the missing episodes looking like this if it meant they got a DVD release.

Alright saw this yeterday but lets see is I can still remember it

"the Runaway Bride" Good way to start off th new season, I kinda wish Donna is the new companion. But aisde from that, He is really not over Rose, I guess its gonna haunt him for awhile.

Anyone else get a Blackarachnia vibe from the soiderchick?

Oh and when Doc get pissed, he gets pissed huh? Poor spiders...

The New Series Doctors tend to do that, but Tennant in particular. I don't know if the Classic Doctors do as much since the only ones I've watched quite a bit of are the Third and Eighth (okay, the Eighth doesn't count in terms of screentime

) Doctors.

Oh youre right. But Tennant had that person last season and I think he was still like that a few times.

I don't think Tennant got any more angry than Eccleston did in his first season, just look at what Eccleston would have been like in "Dalek" if Rose hadn't been there. Runaway Bride is the first time we really see 10's darker side.
