First time DW viewer. Noticed it was on Netflix. Watched it. Different was the first thing that came to mind. But, I can't resist Billie Piper, loved her on Secret Diary of a Call Girl, so I thought, why not? Enjoyed it. The show's a bit odd and hard to pinpoint, but I'm down. The whole thing with the mannequins, I can say, I've never seen anything like that before. It's one thing for mannequins to turn into humans, but to see mannequins walking around and having the ability to zap/kill people, was something else. I wonder how I'll react when I pass store windows now.
 The TARDIS is pretty cool. So it travels forward and backwards through time? Interesting... I like the chemistry with the Doctor and Rose, and I can relate to Rose in her state of mind, where she feels she doesn't have much going for her, this is something new and exciting, hard to pass up, minus the danger-factor.__________________

Wow, you're really starting from scratch. Did you know anything about the show before you started, other than the fact Billie Piper was in it?
If you liked Rose, you'll love the later stuff even more. __________________

 But now that we're in S6 (7 years since the series came back), it's pretty amazing to look back at where it started compared to where the show is today. When Rose first aired, many viewers were in the same position you're in now, they'd heard of the show but knew little about it. Watching Rose now it seems a bit simplistic to me, but it had to be, they had to start with the basics ... that was like Doctor Who 101, and now in S6 we're doing our Doctor Who PhD __________________

What I noticed is that the series started off more of a "time travel of the week" but, does it ever become a layered narrative? It was hard to gauge from the first episode how this will progress as a series.

However, with the new series they did introduce more long term story arcs that span a whole series, and they tend to follow up on interesting stories or characters more than the classic series. In S1 for example, they tend to keep coming back to Rose's mother and Mickey. And as people become more familiar with the basics of the series, they start getting into more complex territory. But don't forget this is meant to be a family show, for children as well as adults, so at some level children need to be able to follow it as well. __________________

I just started watching DW via netflix. I'm liking it!  I found the plastic mannequins to be creepy!  I find the doctor to be really cute.  |
