The Doctor is In Awesome

Holy crap, "Doctor Who" rocks.

I've only seen one full episode of the Eccleston Who series. I think it was near the beginning, but I might be wrong.

Basically, Doctor Who and What's-Her-Face (Rose, you say?) travel to the future to witness the universe basically holding a funeral for the planet Earth; I was sold the second that the gathering of aliens played Britney Spears' "Toxic" as a eulogy.

Wait until you get to the second season, Tom. Or hell, the third. There are a few misses, but both of those seasons have some of my favorite episodes of television ever.

I won't name the titles, as that'd ruin some of the plot points, but somehow they manage to be hilarious, poignant, and downright terrifying all at the same time.

Matt: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the second episode of the season. It was a great gag, reminiscent of Leela referring to "Baby Got Back" as "classical music" in a Futurama episode.

Diamondrock: Yeah, everything I've seen of the second season is gold. I'm a little disappointed; disc 1 came today, and not only have I seen both "The Christmas Invasion" and "New Earth," but I've seen both of them multiple times. Like, four or five.

I caught the season finale at one point, so I'm already a bit spoiled, but as I learned in the Eccleston season, it doesn't mean I can't be surprised.

And I can't wait to watch the episode with Moaning Myrtle and the ELO soundtrack again...that's easily one of the best hours that has ever been broadcast.

And then the third season...I think I've seen the one that introduced Martha, and "Family of Blood," and that's it. So that'll be nice and surprising.
