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.

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...))
