I didn’t particularly love this week’s episode of Doctor Who. It didn’t seem very fresh, and I thought it would be one of my favorites. Rory was a highlight, and The Doctor continues to wow me. Rosanna was a fantastic antagonist, I and wouldn’t have minded seeing her stick around for a bit. The most frightening thing is how much Amy did not wow me; and I’m all about some Amy. I don’t know if I’m still reeling from her indiscretion last week, or if the writing wasn’t quite “there” this week, but I’m hoping to be a lot more satisfied next week.
I’m completely over the teeth thing. Why have we had two sets of baddies already with teeth that are so long that no matter how pointed they are, the owners wouldn’t be able to open up wide enough to actually bite?!? I can’t get scared of bad guys if I’m laughing at them. I just can’t do it. Also? “Our planet was lost…wah wah wah” We did this. Last year. Maybe it was the delivery of the line, and maybe it was because we did just do this, but I’m not as sucked in to the story’s potential as I’d like to be at this point. Pun, y’all. PUN. Sucked in? VAMPIRES?!? OK, not really, but still…
Next week: My word, that Doctor has amazing profile close-ups!!

Indifferent
Aw, not more vampires. I can think of three previous blood drinking alien menaces off the top of my head from the old show. Each one had a completely different story linking them to Earth myths. Who knows how many more happened to Doctors (or in seasons) that I never saw.
I JUST saw the one direct link to them, the 4th Doctor E-space trilogy story “State of Decay” Of course, they were GIANT Vampires, but yep, directly addressed as such.
