Dr Who: School Reunion.

[poliphilo]

I was tearing up at the end. The Doctor has an inner life and we were glimpsing it.

He's also a bit of a bastard; He loves 'em and leaves 'em. One of the great things about the Doctor- from Hartnell on- is that he's never been blandly heroic.

This was the best episode of the second season (thus far).

I still feel the episodes are too short. The bad guys aren't given long enough to establish themselves.

Tony Head's performance made me want to see him as Count Dracula. What a fine actor he is! "Pitch perfect" said the director.

I'm getting accustomed to David Tennant.

I feel like Rose does about Mickey: does he really have to come along?

I guess Tennant doesn't want to be type-cast as a Scottish actor.

(Though it's never hurt Sean Connery.)

I'm pretty sure I've read it wasn't his choice not to be Scottish, and he was definitely excited about getting to use his own accent in Tooth And Claw. I think the producers thought that we'd already had the Scottish Doctor *sigh*

Why can't we have lots and lots of Scottish Doctors?

I don't suppose I mind how he speaks, but his native accent is certainly attractive!
