1//Rose

Since this is the very first episode I almost feel like there isn't much to talk about plot wise. So I'm gonna jump in and just discuss the characters. First off Rose. So far I don't have much of an opinion on her. Whenever I watch shows where weird things happen, like manikins coming to life, I think How can that person really think this is happening? Then I have to back up and remember that this is a science fiction show and that is how it works. That's what I was thinking about Rose at the beginning of the show. However that's a stupid thing to think and I hope once I watch more episodes I'll get more of an opinion on her.

Now let's get to the fun stuff, the Doctor. On Tumblr I always sees posts about 10 and 11 but I rarely see anything about 9. So for some off reason I had this assumption that 9 was a more serious doctor. I think Christopher Eccleston, who portrays 9, has a more formal look about him so maybe that's why I had this notion. However, I was very wrong. Everything from his very bouncy walk to his almost carefree attitude makes me really like watching him. His delivery is quick and the banter between him and Rose is very good. Overall, I really like him so far.

The other two bigger characters in this episode are Rose's mother, Jackie, and her boyfriend, Mickey. Neither are very likable, the mother being obnoxious and the boyfriend was just plain annoying (possibly the character itself or possibly the actor, I wasn't a fan of his acting skills.) Hopefully her mother will get less annoying and the boyfriend won't show up again.

At the end of the episode when she turned the doctor down, for some reason I actually believed that she wasn't going to go with him (at least at this time.) I liked how Rose almost called out her boyfriend for being useless (I really don't like him) and went with the Doctor. I like their pairing a lot and can't wait to watch more of them.

That's all for today, tell me what your first impressions were in the comments.

Till next time
