I like Sarah in the "Girl Next Door" type of way. I always thought she was fairly attractive. Not as sexy as Leela, but definitely attractive.
There was one scene in particular I really appreciated about Sarah. I think it was in "Pyramids of Mars." There is a scene where she has to stand guard or something and is given a rifle. The Dr. starts to explain the gun when Sarah puts it to her shoulder, sights down the barrel and, matter of factly states that she knows how to shoot a gun.
I thought it was a great scene. Contrasted nicely with all the helpless waif times.

That is, does she tick all the boxes in the sex appeal factor for that teenager-to-twentysomething demographic that most of you occupy? She doesn't do anything for me, but then I'm old enough to be her husband (sorry, but no Billie discussion is complete without at least one Chris Evans gag).
Hopefully her ability to keep up with the Doctor will improve as the culture shock wears off. But she doesn't really do anything for me at all. A couple people on here know the sort of girl I find attractive, and she ain't it, sorry to say...
I also thought "Rose" was pretty good, and liked the second ep much better (not even going to use the ep title, as even that's a semi-spoiler). I think my favourite bit was when Rose noticed the Ferris wheel, and the Doctor just kept not getting it. My biggest disappointment was that Clive didn't have any archival footage of previous regenerations of the Doctor.

I imagine that maybe they wanted to downplay the previous regenerations to keep a bit of surprise for the new viewers who might not really know about the Doctor. Hence the little mentions that existing fans will spot, but might not click for the new viewer - the ears, "I looked different then" and so on.

Easy, tiger. You don't bung that little conversational hand-grenade into the mix and get away with it. So we now need to know, who is Jonah's type? Answer at length - don't make us hold an Interrogation!

As long as it's not Mel. There is no excuse for Bonnie Langford. Ever.

And where were you when my wife insisted on hogging the TV on a Saturday night in order to watch that stupid Dancing on Ice programme on ITV1? It was bad enough being submitted to various Corrie actors trying to ice-dance, compounded by the presence of execrable sporting personalities (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) like David Seaman and "Dame" Kelly Holmes, with Robin Cousin's attempts to channel Simon Cowell, and the whole thing topped off with the very reminder of the existence of the Langford. Gah!

I dunno... Interrogations can be fun. Unfortunately, in all the time I've been on here, no one's bothered to explain the Upload function to me (like, where it is, for starters). Jen's 5'8"/170cm, strong, curvy, Jewish, plays hockey and clarinet, is a total computer and sci-fi geek, loves Fords, has eyes that change colour depending on mood...
She likes dirty jokes, Rocky Horror, music from Mozart to Metallica, and finding new and interesting things to do with ramen.
Her clothing modes range from preppy to goth, and she has a vinyl nurse's minidress with white fishnet stockings that makes me weak in the knees.
What else would you like to know? And is there any way I can upload images off my computer? My web domain is still being constructed offline.

Oh, fine, Lee. You badger me for details and then vanish.
Incidentally, I don't feel like doing it at the moment, but can we resuscitate discussion on the second and thirs eps of the new series? In here, or in the original threads. Now that more of us Yanks have seen them, we want to talk about them, too.

I'm not sure. You see, it just seems a bit of a cop-out to make a sweeping statement about the kind of girl one finds attractive, but then to just elaborate by saying "the kind of girl I find attractive is, er, exactly like the kind of girl that I'm with." I guess I was hoping for something a bit more scandalous. And more-revealing photographs. 8)
And Lee? I'm sorry, but she just kind of happens to match my ideal. We have enough common interests that we always have something to do together, and enough dissimilar interests that we each have stuff that's all our own. Quite nice, really. All except for the "not being able to see her for the past year" bit. That's the "type" I'm attracted to.
I mean, wht else do you want to know, Lee? She's a blue-eyed brunette, as you can see. she thinks David Bowie is a sexy beast. She loves reading. She loves movies. She loves cooking (as do I)... I respond better to direct questions, I guess.
