I totally just made an ETA to this post covering similar territory before reading your comment. Great minds and all that. ;)
Yeah, I remember thinking after Rose, "Uh...pastic monster? Why does this have such a huge following? It must be a British thing." And then EOTW, and yeah. Hooked.
You're right about the Farscape comparison. You never know what you're going to get from episode to episode.
Definitely. Tonally, it seems very much like S1, possibly early S2 Farscape as well. It's particularly similar in how it goes from laugh-until-you-can't-breathe funny to dead serious in thirty seconds.
Well, that and the Doctor and Rose were so frickin' adorable. OMG. :D
