      Same, the mannequin episode is one of my favorites. Wish we’d got more Eccleston, although the latest True Detective turned out wildly anticlimactic he’s still excellent.

      I did enjoy the manequien episode. Personally I thought his portrayal was fine considering it was a revival as a whole, the season was alright. Hot take, I think rose is one of the lesser sidekicks and I personally didn’t care for how much importance she had to the story and how it came to be. I did really like how tenant acted off of her and the story though.

      Granted it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen who, I dropped it after the 12fh doctor cause I didn’t have time to watch but I do intent to pick it back up and I’ll probably do it from the Eccleston season. Maybe I’ll like it better on a second watch.

      Take what I say with a grain of salt cause it also took me 3 tries to get past the first 3 episodes of game of thrones, but after I was all in.

        Indeed, for a while it was more like watching “The Rose Tyler Show” instead of Doctor Who, heh.

        At the same time, Eccleston was my favorite Doctor for a long time. My only complaint was that he was only there for one season!

          I recall him saying he never watched who and wasn’t much interested. Which is why he only decided to do one season.
