I like it...

I just watched "The Unquiet Dead" episode, my first one ever in fact!

(& the very beginning @ the point w/ the old dead woman possessed by "the gas beings" is screaming & it fades from her screaming right into the "Classic" Dr. Who theme & the 'tardis' vectoring thru the timestream & then switching from the 'blue pill' reality into the 'red pill' one?)

Yea... I knew RIGHT then, I was hooked, or hooked again on Dr. Who!

:)

* Anyone else check it out, & like it as well?

It's motivating me to get some person skilled w/ tools for chopping a portion of an .avi file out to make one out of the portion that is the introduction of this series...

Just to get me that datafile, so I can perform an experiment I never got to finish a couple years ago w/ the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (first one) film intro (where agents shown while the fuse burns & the classic theme of it were playing)...

That would be taking said .avi file & embedding it into a .scr's resources section & @ runtime?

Run the .AVI portion (this new Dr. Who series' intro I describe above) from w/ in itself...

P.S.=> Personally, I'm pretty impressed actually! BBC has really "stepped up" their special FX (by way of comparison to the old Tom Baker episodes of this series, the longest running sci-fi there is afaik as a series, that I used to watch as a boy)... apk

WoW... nobody?

:(

* Surprising, especially considering we have a pretty fair %-age of brits in here... where the show hails from no less!

P.S.=> Wait a second: I know WHY nobody has seen it - you're all TOO busy posting here, lol, to notice the television set! apk

That show sucks.

It took away my stargate, stargate atlantis, and battle stargalactica marathon.

Battlestar Galactica is the best sci-fi show to come out in the last decade, heck, nearly two decades. I tried to watch an episode of Dr. Who. I found it rather painful to watch. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime. I think it was one of the first episodes, and perhaps I judged it prematurely?
