Doctor WHO?!?
Jun. 21st, 2008 07:45 pmYep. So. I marathoned all of first and most of second and third of the newest Doctor Who in a few days before my exams. It was pretty awesome. I say, you guys should definitely check out the streaming video application from veoh. It's kind of interesting, especially since Time Warner is one of their investors (O.o?).
Anyhow, Who actually surprised me a little. I was expecting a little more lame than I got (though, admittedly, I was kind of in the mood for lame, so that opinion might be subject to change). But there's something very interesting about the Doctor Who universe as it's re-imagined - I can't really speak for the old stuff, as I've never seen it.
( See, sci-fi tends to change with the times, and reflect the current forces of social change. (spoilers through third season of Who) )
Um. So. In conclusion, I'm enjoying Doctor Who, and I have some meta thoughts on it, but I'm vaguely discontented with the quality of each individual episode. Plus, the way he treats Martha is completely unforgivable. I spent most of third season vaguely pissed off at him.
