Hello, Sweetie

Our poor Doctor. He’s so harangued by River Song. LOL. Even the brief, surprise greeting of, “Hello, Sweetie,” elicits such a hangdog response that you just want to put your arm around The Doctor and tell him that everything will be okay. Being out of the loop, I had no idea there was a current running through fandom with theories about River. I’m pretty bad to take a plot point at face value and just let the story play out, but now I’m dying to get into the conspiracy theorists’ minds.

That’s the big difference with the new series; it’s smarter. Certainly not to disparage RTD’s helm, which was still largely better than anything else on television, but the nuances now are just a bit more mature and cerebral. Perhaps the least cerebral clue, as I mentioned before, is “The Crack” and though I did not spot the crack in the episode, it’s FINALLY being seen by The Doctor in the preview for next week’s episode. Next week’s episode, by the way, looks to be full of excitement, and motion, and intrigue.

In what I consider to be the mark of greatness for a show, a Twitter friend of mine is just getting into Doctor Who, and I’m proud to have him jump on board with Eleven and Amy. Welcome to the greatest show on Earth. Or Gallifrey. Or Raxacoricofallapatorius. Or, well, you get the picture. With The Doctor and the TARDIS, anything is possible!

  1. It’s strange, I didn’t even think to look for “the Crack” in this past episode, I got so sucked into everything that was happening.

    I’ve been reading the theories concerning River. Some are plausible, some are fanwank, but ultimately I think that fans are trying to read too much into things. IF River is a major part of the Doctor’s life, that’s a MAJOR directional change for the show, and I don’t think SM would do that. Or possibly he is, with him testing the waters by introducing her very slowly? If so, maybe there’s a real long-term plan, and… well, that kinda makes me uneasy.

    As for the Weeping Angels? Poor soldier Bob…
