This Year's Model of Humanity

As I was just telling mrv3000, in some ways this series is easier for me to watch than I thought it would be, because it's very different from the previous two series. In others... like mrv3000, I'm not seeing the hope. I'm seeing a Doctor who seems very much like Jack was for awhile over in Torchwood: plodding on because he doesn't feel like he has a choice, not because he really wants to or has hope. It's worrisome. I think Jack came out of it near the end of TW's first series, and I hope that the Doctor will too, and soon. I love that he's missing Rose so much, but I think she'd whack him upside the head if she knew how he's acting.
