Good: Yay, we finally get Doctor Who in the States!
Bad: Commercials seriously mess with the flow of the episodes. Skiffy saw fit to cut chunks out of it, too. Should've expected that, really, but I'm a bit irked that they cut out the moment at the end of EOTW where Rose lays her head on teh Doctor's shoulder. Not to mention Cassandra's "old Earth ballad" line before the playing of "Toxic"; that really needed some introduction. And I think they must have cut something out of the intro to "Rose," although it was probably just incidental shots. It did seem like the BBC versions have longer beats in a lot of the scenes. Bah.
Still, outweighed by it finally being on the air here, woot!
Also: an entire community for Harry Potter/Doctor Who crossovers. Hmmm.

Quite. I suppose it was inevitable given DT's role in the last movie, but this nascent Rose/Barty Jr. movement is just freaky. Although I have to say that the idea of the Doctor with a wand is kind of entertaining. Even though you know that if he ever actually ended up in HP land, he'd be all, "Magic? Please. Now, my sonic screwdriver, on the other hand..."
