    No hype can help this stinker. The good doc looked like a bad crock and Billy acted... well, no she didnt...

    She's cute, but she's a bit pudgy. They could attract more geeks/attention by having her drop 30 lbs. :)

    Besides that, the graphics looked pretty good for a Dr. Who. Not that I downloaded and watched it or anything. ;)

      Well hello there, Mr. Shallow.

      Congratulations on your attitude. It's the reason so many women are anorexic and bulemic.

      Attitudes just like yours are causing the developed countries of the world to get obese. I just realize that people don't need to eat all the time.
