"This is not war"

[torquill]

Well, I had been warned that the finale of the first David Tennant season was more painful than the one at the end of Eccleston. I didn't think so, though... it had a good bit of humor and "Look at that!" moments, and a face-off that I'm sure old Whovians have been speculating about for decades. It was fun.

There was a lot of Torchwood in this one. I still have no idea how on earth Captain Jack is supposed to end up in 21st century London Cardiff again -- maybe hijack another time-travel ship and crash there -- but I'm really looking forward to the series in the fall. They could do some interesting stuff with that institute, and Jack (despite the fact that he's an American calling canned goods "tins") is quite charismatic enough to hang a series on.

The hook for the Christmas Special was odd.

Anyway... quite happy with the result, A+ and two thumbs up, all of that.

Can't wait to see it. How many weeks do I have to wait?

I think they're doing that thing again -- at the end of this last March I was practically ready to fly to the BBC offices in London, grab an exec by the lapels, and cry, "You've been saying the new season starts in "spring" for six months -- it's spring now!"

They say "fall". I suspect they'll say "fall" until sometime in October, then let us know that it starts within a week. It's infuriating, but there it is.

or were you referring to the season finale? :)

Let's see... we have a single, a double, two more singles, and then we get to the two-part finale. So however we do that, it's that many more.
