Why does she look like she's 16 when she's 24 years old? What witchcraft is this?

Edit: Apparently she was in the Captain America movie as "Connie". Maybe she was one of the two girls Rogers and Bucky went to the World's Fair with?

It appears that BBC America is starting up this Saturday. I am not sure if across the ocean they are already enjoying the new season or not. (I'd like to think that this day and age they could debut on the same day, but of course that doesn't happen).

They released a list of episode names for the first half of the season I believe. SpoilerIncluding one about Angels in New York which has lead to some speculation about the possibility of the Statue of Liberty being a giant Weeping Angel...

The season premiere was on yesterday in New York ... somewhere. I only know because Dan Slott gushes over it on Twitter. All. The. Time.

I started watching Doctor Who earlier this summer. Just reached David Tennant's tenure, and I'm excited for that. By the time I get through the four other seasons, I'm sure this one will be readily available.

Yeah, I was thinking two+ months.

I hear season 5 gets really depressing. Is it really depressing? Am I going to be depressed?

First Smith season.

Apparently a lot of people skip Eccleston's season. Having seen it, I'm appalled by this.

I didn't think it was depressing. Compared to the last Tennant season where he sets everything right, and then promptly dies.

Eccleston is the 1st season I watched, and as a result HE is Doctor Who to me. That being said, after Smith debuted he became my favorite Doctor.

The writing and acting in the Eccleston series is bloody fantastic. If you are at all familiar with all the ye olde adventure style Doctor Whos, it is even ten times better, as they deconstruct and critically examine Dr Who's lifestyle, and the carnage it can create amidst all his good intentions and running away. I have to say I rate Ecclestone and Tennant as my coequal favourite modern Dr Whos, with Smith as a distant third, even though he too gets some great writing, especially the River Song arc and the Neil Gaimon episode.

"Rose and the Heart of the Tardis" moment, which happens in an Eccleston episode, is one of my all time favourite moments in TV. Sorry to oldies to the thread, cause I said all that before.

They could had done some cool stuff if the girl was taken as a new companion. Still a nice twist for a season opener.

I liked their ending. SpoilerRory couldn't escape. And Amy couldn't live without him. Creepy little Weeping Angel Cherubs are Creepy. Though I can't say I'm a fan of the one blowing out the candle while Rory was watching. I thought the idea was that the Angels ceased to actually exist as beings once they were being watched, that they were actually nothing more than statues then? Maybe I'm mistaken. The statue of liberty as a weeping angel was a bit... anti climactic. When I first heard the rumors I was hoping something else, not really it walking around the city all.. Stay Puff Marshmallow Man like.

SpoilerYou waited the whole episode to see it? It showed it in the first 5 minutes. The first guy running from the angels and who saw himself die of old age in the bed (same as Rory) ran to the roof (same as Rory) and was the Statue of Liberty Angel (same as Rory). The entire scene at the end with Rory, Old Rory, and the Building was a duplicate of the opening five minutes with a different person. Until he jumps and dies of course, but ya.
