rabid1stAnd the interview with Christopher Eccleston that is on Disc 1 of Season 1.
"I've been told I'm not funny and I'm not charming."
LOL! Well, then, Mister, you are one hell of an actor. I also found it very nice to hear him praise the crew while slightly downplaying the "suits" and I wondered when he remarked on how much it hurt to be criticized for the program...just what he might be referencing. The return of the show was so brilliant, that I can't imagine too many critical remarks being shot at Chris. And yet, we also heard him recently say that he didn't like the way the crew was treated. I wonder if they do face a lot of interference from the BBC...or did. I also wonder how much of a hard road The Moff is traveling these days. I mean, all we hear in the press is the uberpraise which is frankly wrong footed, in my opinion, but perhaps Matt and Moff take their lumps behind the scenes.
Of course, I couldn't help noticing what turned out to be nothing more than RTD's signature babble...but what could have so easily been beautiful foreshadowing...in Rose. We get the storm coming and the idea of the Doctor's most constant companion being death. We could have so easily tied in to Dalek's Caan's prophecy and made a beautiful full circle with the Doctor deciding to face Rose's death and the grief of it, by sharing her full short life with her. But...no...no...instead we've got the crap idea of a half-finished story with a stand-in Doctor. I'm just sorry there is probably no canon way to fix it now. It can only be address in a novel or fic. But it was there, from the first episode...meaningless babble, of course, as we now know.
And Chris is so lovely. Just abundantly charming...and very funny...and he has those electric blue eyes. I wish he could have given us just one more season.
