For those who care.

Dont really know much about this Matt Smith, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on. The last 2 Dr Who's have been excellently cast in Chris Ecclestone and David Tennant. My moms more a Doctor Who fan than I am

 you picked some excruciatingly bad episodes

do me a favor booth, just treat yourself and netflix/pirate/do what you gotta and catch the entirety of Tomb of the Cybermen. frankly, the show peaked when it was black and white and has never really recovered

edit: did you just mean you can't get into 80s who or the show in general

Wow. That is saying a lot. :)

 if that didn't do it for you, never give the show a chance again. it never gets one iota better than that. just a few follow-up questions however, did you enjoy the doctor who played the doctor at all? did you think it was interesting that "the borg" were 100% ripped off from a tv 20 years prior? is it just me, or were there INCREDIBLY subtle hints that the lead bad guy chick was sexually involved with toberman? what about it turned you off, exactly? if it had anything to do with the budget, were you aware the the budget for doctor who was literally less than star trek's catering budget?

in it's defense as far as the blue ball factor, i like to think of it as a direct decendant of old serials like flash gordon. it's supposed to make you crazy waiting for the next one.

i find that for whatever reason the tiny budget and british accents enhance my suspension of desbelief enormously. go figure.

"the doctor who played the doctor" i'm just full of silly typos lately.

i like seeds of death, but that's kind of....not for casual or beginning fans. there's a lot of pointless running around, and even-worse-than-usual special effects. if you're going to ignore my adive about never trying to show again since you didn't like tomb of the cybermen, could i give you some decent alternatives?

spearhead from space, the aztecs, caves of androzani, and the curse of fendric are all great and availible on dvd
