Rachael (and any other Dr Who watchers):
Is Captain Jack supposed to be bisexual? The episode where Derek Jacobi turns into the Master just played here, and Captain Jack, formerly a swashbuckling-ish womanizer breaks into these jealous moments that come across a little awkward.
Since you've seen how the season plays out, I just wondered where the writers (painfully) go with this.
I guess Rose Tyler was pretty popular, but I'm glad the old windbag is gone. With Dr Who being a sort of show for nerds, it makes more sense for the doctor to be carrying on with a medical student in her late 20s than with a teen-ager who is probably most math geeks worst nightmare. "Books are what you put your beer on so it doesn't stain mom's table, right? And what do you do all that reading for, then?"
The writing for the episodes is getting a little better. But, I watch the show for the characters. Some of the plots are really, really ridiculous.
I mean, like chair-squirming "where's the fast forward?" ridiculous.
Like: A dalek incinerates 500 people. The doctor gets mad, so Rose Tyler informs him he has become just like the daleks. And, that becomes the theme of the episode. It's a shame Martha will never be able to slap that little bitch and suggest she move out of the house and get a job, or something.
