So I've spent the last couple of days watching the 2005 season of Doctor Who as fast as I can download it. I'm up to episode six, "Dalek."

Here is my question: did anyone else giggle hysterically for about five minutes at the revelation that the Dalek was "downloading the entire internet"? I mean. The entire internet? With no sort of "work safe" filter? That's how you know Daleks are tough, man, because that shit would kill a lesser being in two seconds flat.

Even the furry porn? And the stuff that makes furry porn look harmless and wholesome? No wonder it wants to kill everyone.

Oh, yes. I think that if I had not already been hooked three-quarters of the way through "The Empty Child," it would have happened with "EVERYBODY LIVES!" The sheer joy of it following such a grimly sad story was a wonderful release and so incredibly moving. I think that was just the right story to be introduced to the Doctor with - not only did I get to see his investigative instincts, intelligence, and compassion, but I learned from those two words exactly what his life is like.

And on the practical side, it means I've known from the start what the sonic screwdriver is, and that exposition about the psychic paper in the beginning may have been clumsy as hell, but it saved me some confusion. :D
