Numb3rs should be really brilliant but when I've seen it, it just doesn't live up to expectations.
No, and it's a real pity. I'm not sure what the problem is. The writers just aren't good enough, maybe, to make the most of the potential.
I do remember Peter Davison as the Doctor
I'm thinking of buying one of the DVD sets from his era. Just because "Time Crash" is a good starting-off point - and David Tennant's enthusiasm (as the Doctor, for the Doctor) is infectious.
I love that Stephen Moffat can turn a tiny throwaway scene into canon
He did it beautifully. How I wish he would write an episode of Torchwood. How I hope he will write another episode of Doctor Who. And I really should watch Jeckyll or something else by him.
As for Ten being silly - it's respectful silly when he could be cruel. He never loses his super-intelligence and somehow, the fact that he likes to play makes him more human.
I agree with that, and that's Ten at his best. It's the reason I still love him. I can't quite reconcile that with the Doctor who was callous towards Jack or unloving towards Martha, but that's okay - gives me things to mull over, story ideas, and the like.
It's got to be almost Christmas now, right? Soon? Are we there yet?
