Still in mourning
While I absolutely ADORED the first episode of the new Matt Smith series of Doctor Who, the second two episodes have left me rather cold, to my great distress. It seems I am not alone in this discomfort, for while it is expected that the people who comment on newspaper blogs are mostly ranting psychopaths, Den of Geek, for instance, is usually commented on by loving, thoughtful though occasionally frightening types of fans – and yet even they really got the knives out for that bloody dalek episode. I mean really, it must take effort to make the Doctor plus the daleks plus the Blitz plus Churchill dull. Like Beast Below, Victory of the Daleks was full of good ideas with rubbish execution.
But last night was the return of the Weeping Angels and Riversong, so after skipping out on the live airing last night for Tom Stoppard’s wonderful The Real Thing, I’ll be firing up I-Player this evening for a catch up – and hoping for the best.
And trying really, really hard to get over the old days…
