Not a Doctor Who fanatic, I just really don't care for SG1.

That's what I don't like. And two times suggests it might not be the last time this happens.

Still doesn't sound familiar. Either you've got an edited version in America, or I just forgot about it (in which case it's probably not that annoying...)

I think I know what it is you mean, though I only remember it in tooth and Claw, not the Christmas Invasion. I can't remember it happening anywhere else though, just like DavidG, so it must just be something you and you alone have noticed and is slightly unhappy about. I don't think it's really a big issue.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Sci-Fi picks it up, seeing as how Doctor Who was popular enough for them to pick up the second series.

All I can say about Torchwood is, WHOO-HOO Captain Jack's back!!!!

Just having him in it makes this ace. I do hope it explains how he got back from the year 200100 though....

And at some point it needs to re-introduce the Time Agency plot about him losing his memories, because they never did get a chance to cover any of that.

Its very early on, actually coupled with the phrase 'the regeneration's gone wrong'. Where he goes back & forth about making the Tardis go faster. While the camera effects that were used in Tooth & Claw weren't used, but they might as well have been.

Both this moment in Tooth & Claw, and the Christmas Invasion have a very Gollum, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings feel to them, and I can't say I care for it. I hope this is the last I see of it, but again there could be more to it.

Like Mashirosen said, Ninth Doctor was a good person, but not a nice one.

But it seems the Tenth Doctor would do it while smiling, and that's just not right.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those incidents...

It sounds like those cuts you're talking about are from the Children in Need special, not the actual Christmas episode.

I think I know what you mean. And I think it appears one other time in a later episode, if it is what you mean. (Being the Satan Pit, but I won't say anymore, 'cause I can't remember how to spoilerify text!).

The Torchwood references pay off in the series by the way, they're not done for the spin-off. So it's not just a cash in.

As for nine vs. ten, I see everybody's points, but I disagree that the tenth Doctor lacks compassion. Ninth could be startingly cold (if you remember the End of the World and Cassandra, watching her die...it doesn't become hard to believe he'd of killed the alien leader after he didn't keep his word in the Christmas Invasion after you consider that scene!).

I found the tenth doctor much gentler, easier to get on with, and generally a nicer person, even if he's prone to the occasional outrage. Wait until School Reunion, there's a great scene between the Doctor and Anthony Stewart Head that really helps make the character.

But yes, it's a difference of opinion, so I hope nobody feels I'm trying to say 'no your wrong, ten's better'. I just like him more personally. Seems I'm in a minority though.

Mind you, I liked Sylvester McCoy...

REALLY in the minoritiy...

Also, sorry I didn't reply for so long. I know some people said stuff in direct response to my post WAY back. I just haven't had the internet recently to be able to reply. Sorry about that, urr, if anybody cared.

Last night's episode was awesome, but damn did I wish the Doctor kept K-9 around. Instead, we end up as Mickey as a regular character.

...

I think I'm going to cry.

Of course, did anyone else think that when the Krillitane Mr Finch suggested that the Doctor would join with him, that we might get to see the birth of the Master? I mean, I'm not all that familar with the Master, aside from the fact that he's a Time Lord & some have suggested he's actually the Doctor's final incarnation.

See, given that we know that the Krillitanes take the best bits from the aliens they conquer, I could see Mr Finch taking over the Doctor's final incarnation & making it his own.

Crazy thought to pass my mind, but I admit given the way that Mr Finch wasn't squirming w/ pain when the oil hit him, I almost think he was completely different from the other Krillitanes, and might make a future appearance.
