Doctor Who

Please don't make me turn in my sci-fi geek membership card, but until yesterday I had never seen an episode of Doctor Who. Of course, I've heard of it (who hasn't?) and I knew the basics of the story -- but I had never actually seen it. A friend recommended the new series and so I downloaded the first episode. I really liked it! It's got a sense of humor that appeals to me and boy! -- the mannequins were CREEPY! Mannequins have always creeped me out and I yelped a few times during the episode. (My roommate asked me, "What *are* you watching?" from the other room after the second short squeal.)

I like the actor who is playing the Doctor. He's very expressive and grounded with a very mischievous sense of humor. So far - big thumbs up.

BTW - I'm still excited about Serenity, although I'm kicking myself for not buying more tickets when I had the chance. There are two friends of mine that I thought might want to go, but I didn't hear from them before the tickets sold out. In retrospect, I should have just bought the tickets. I could have sold them if I didn't need them. 20/20 hindsight and all that...
