I’ve gotten a few emails and comments recently bemoaning the “fact” that I haven’t written about Christopher Eccleston’s episodes of Doctor Who the way I did about David Tennant’s. The truth is, actually, that I did... sorta. I started, anyway, though not with quite the same depth or approach, back when my blog Geek Philosophy was extant. That blog got swallowed up by MaryAnnJohanson.com, and I still haven’t fixed all the linkage, and it’s a bit of a mess trying to find those posts there. So here are the direct links to what exists of my blogging on Eccleston’s Doctor:
“Rose”/“The End of the World”
“The Unquiet Dead”/“Aliens of London”
”World War Three”/“Dalek”
”The Long Game”/“Father’s Day”
And that’s as far as I got. I’ll probably just start over again here at FlickFilosopher.com looking at each episode in depth, as preparation for the book I’m planning on Eccleston’s Doctor (and yes, a book on Tennant’s will follow as well). For now, though, you can enjoy these.

I sent a E-mail to you, spelt your last name wrong. I thought it was Johnson.
I now feel ( once again )like a bit of a tit.

On a Christopher Eccleston note: Watched his Othello this week. Outstanding! The best I've seen of his work (outside DW, of course). And I've been on a minor mission to catch up on everything he's done that's out on DVD since I discovered him.
Aside from the general quality of the program and Chris' performance, there's this fangirlish note: we never got to see his Doctor in black tie, but we do get to see Ben Jago (his character in Othello) looking very sharp in his tux. Worth the price of admission, what can I say?
