No complaints about the actor for the eighth Doctor, just that the pilot sucked. Not only was it time-static, but basically a big chase scene. The thing that I love about Dr. Who is the mystery, the piecing together of the pieces, and the inevitable solution through reasoning (and happenstance). Not just chasing down the bad guy. Boooring... Typical Americanization - the US producers were pandering to the masses - mindnumbing fight and chase scenes with no substance. Hey, what else could you expect from Fox, the same group that eventually brought us Earth-shattering documentaries like the one claiming that we never went to the Moon? Back on topic, it'd be way too cool to see a set of Doctor characters that looked reasonably similar to the real actors. BYS
