Is This Planet Protected?

1,056,408 Comments

The new season of Doctor Who began today with a very triumphant debut of the Eleventh Doctor. There is a definite shift in tone from the previous series (or non-series as it was), and I think this is exactly the episode to reset with. The introduction of Amy Pond was the best companion beginning yet, and I already love her. The rest of the plot didn’t really blow my mind, but the nod to the previous Doctors was glorious and brought out an actual cheer. I think Eleven is a very capable incarnation and I look forward to seeing him in action week after week.

I’m already re-watching because I let a lot of information slip past me the first time. I also want to compile a list of “clues” to watch for as the series progresses because I think there will be quite the payoff with this writing team. For instance, there is a blue lens flare that lingers for a considerable amount of time when there is no known source of light for that scene. Hmmmm. I’m also curious about the possible significance of the “Myth” laptop. Each of those things may be inconsequential, of course, or they could be related to the coming Silence. Who knows?

Who knows, indeed!! *ahem*

  14. First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick
    question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
    your mind before writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my
    thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10
    to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Appreciate it! https://vknigah.com/user/MagdaPalmer88/

  42. ‘We don’t want the American Dream for our kids’: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago
    ???????? ??????? ??????????
    They’d never even visited Ecuador before, but Brittany and Blake Bowen, from the United States, decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing.

    The Bowens, who were previously based in the state of Washington, have been living in Loja, a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains, ever since, and say that they are in it for the long haul.

    “We love this little country,” Brittany tells CNN Travel. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.”
    Before the move, the couple, who’ve been married for nearly 17 years, say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by “modern American society” and wanted to try something new.

    “We did not like what we’d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades…” adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming “more isolated.”

    “We weren’t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared.

    “And the more we considered things like that, the more we wondered, ‘Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?”

    The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the “standard American life.”

    “Long commutes and never enough money,” says Blake. “All those usual problems… I was working in a career that was very time consuming, and took me away from home a lot. So we didn’t want that anymore.”

    So why did they choose Ecuador as their “new home”?
