Wow. Best one yet with David Tennant. Totally awesome. !!

(Yes, we're just a little behind here in the colonies. So sue me.).

Feel lucky, I'm still on Eccleston re-runs. They haven't started airing Tennant episodes yet. Guess I could always go get the DVD's.

Yeah, Blink is the best episode of the new doctor Who series so far. Man, was that ever awesome.

That was the only one we haven't let the kids watch yet... well, it scared SWMBO enough to hide behind a cushion so we weren't sure how the little 'uns would take it.

2 of ours were so scared we had to turn it off. Mind you I remember being shit scared when I was 5 or 6, what was his name, the bald fella?

A friend of mine has made some cool "don't blink" t-shirts:

I would love it if they'd replay the Eccleston ones here again. There's a few of them we've missed, and he was another great Doctor.

Cheers

Yeah, that was awesome. A truly fantastic episode!

Actually, I want something a bit different on my T-shirt. I won't be specific because it would be a spoiler to those reading here who haven't seen it yet (I don't think it will air in the U.S. for another three weeks.)

But it's the phrase that one of the characters mentioned that he had on a T-shirt. (Please use spoiler tags if you're going to spout off about it....)

There are a few t-shirts for sale with that phrase, but they all include art from the episode. I think it'd be more effective if it were just the text, then it would correctly fit in with the plot.

Also, thought you folks (only those that have already seen "Blink") might enjoy this.

(Masive spoiler warning: The link above leads to the original short story upon which "Blink" is based. Although it's not the same as the episode, it shares some major plot elements, and will spoil one of the biggest joys of watching the episode if you read or even skim it. Do not follow the link unless you have already seen "Blink".)

Eccleston was a great Doctor. I wish he would have done more than one season. Ya kinda hate to see one regeneration go by so quickly, and he grew on you fast. Definitely one of my favorite Doctors.

I don't follow the series but there's a collection from various seasons (both new and old) at a site I find quite handy for catching up with missed episodes. I don't know whether I should post a link here, I'll obfuscate it for the sake of web crawlers in any case....

Edit: Sorry, but Tom has asked us not to reference such sites. Although a site that shows the shows via a Flash video player instead of a Bittorrent download is kinda neat. -wfaulk
