Well lately I've been watching the old Doctor Who serials. So here are some short impressions on them:
First Doctor (William Hartnell)
The Mutants - A bit long in places, but genuinely eerie and exciting. Great intro to the Daleks.
Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
Day of the Daleks - Pretty good. Though the special effects may be dated (in fact they're downright cheesy
), I found this story fast paced and thrilling. The Third Doctor's pretty cool, while Jo Grant is hot. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)
Genesis of the Daleks - One word: BOOORRRIINNNGGG. An absolute slog to have to sit through, with some really cheesy dialogue thrown in. Could have been better, especially since it's the Dalek's origin.
Also on the Who front, I just watched the first three episodes of Torchwood. As I said before in previous threads, the first two weren't much, but the third episode was very well done, and gives me some renewed hope for the series.
On the anime front, I just finished The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. After watching all 14 episodes, I must state out that this is one of the best anime I've seen. Very original, edgy and quite fun. I just hope they make a new series in the future.
Also finished Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. They ended this real nicely without really resolving anything, leaving room for more FMP in the future, which I'll look forward to with baited breath.

I needed a Deadwood fix last week, so I picked up the complete second season and bounced through the episodes, skipping some of the scenes that were most memorable and finding that some were ones I had forgotten (perhaps I'd had an interuption when first viewing or missed part of one due to other circumstances).
- so I´ve to wait and see if I can grab something with english subtitles. Argh!BS:G is currently the top show in my book, followed by Doctor Who (Rose is such a hottie).
I've been following South Park, and have enjoyed this season more then the previous ones. As well as Drawn Together (which i somewhat enjoyed last time, havent realy liked the new episodes so far).
Now tonight are new eps of the Simpsons (this season has been much better then the last three), American Dad (an alright show), and Family Guy (which has been a blast).
