nuWho in brief

[avevale_intelligencer]

* One of the things that grates on me most of all about nuWho is the trick of making the Doctor look stupid for a cheap laugh. Clearly, this is something that the new showrunner loves as well.

* River Song is an idiot.

* The Weeping Angels...does anything about them make one atom of sense? I mean, anything?

*Another episode of this rubbish before the next bit of rubbish (which at least we don't know too much about, so it may be something new for a change). I may skip it.

Okay, maybe not that many spoilers...

EDIT: see also this post by copperbadge for the main thing (apart from her idiocy and jerkitude) that bugged me about River Song in this episode. See thing 3. Kind of related to my first bullet point, but better expressed.

Zandr, just stop watching it, OK?!

The Weeping Angels are clearly the NuWho tribute to the Bugbladder Beasts of Traal. Given that, why should they make sense?

River Song is not an idiot. But she is a jerk.

Amy Pond, on the other hand, is awesome. I know which of the two I'd marry, and it's not She Who Flows.

We don't often agree on Nuwho. The River Song/Dr Time line thing is confusing me. Now admitedly my brain is leaking out my ears right now, perhaps that isn't helping. But Didn't she DIE? Is she?... Ok she's time traveling as well, but, yes If we get to see a lot of her I'm not going to enjoy it unless she gets nicer.

The Weeping Angels. Yeh, of so they are "dying" surly the ones who are walking around zap people. (I still find the very scary, should have waited to watch this episode)

I still like Matt Smith, I didn't like this episode much, I have to watch next week, yeah I fall for hooks. I'm an idiot. I love Amy. I might even Like her more than Donna. I just wish my brain would stay in my head.

I guess over all, I'm just happy to have A Tardis hopping around. I don't always agree with what you write, and when I want to think I just browse. but you always make me think ,when I have the energy. thanks!

I'm wondering what Moffat is going to do now he's used up his previous characters. I'm not placing bets that he'll actually come up with new ones.

(I'm also feeling that people who produce/direct/run a show should be banned from writing for it as well at the same time. Unless their initials happen to be JMS. It rarely works out well, at least in part because all writers tend to need someone to override them when they do something stupid (writers who get popular enough to ignore editors have the same problem).)

((However, Amy is cute. Srsly cute. I'm not even going to try to choose between her and Martha (Rose is a long way behind and That Other One isn't anywhere near the running...))
