Is This Planet Protected?

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*

  1. Interesting write up. I was looking for something like this.
    I especially liked the section on short form content was
    really interesting. Will be sharing this.

    I was interested in video streaming for a while now and this post explains it clearly.
    Nice one.

    Ran into this while researching CDN info.
    Very helpful. The points about caching I can confirm from experience.

    Honestly useful article about streaming technology. Not
    many people take for granted the infrastructure. Shared this with my
    team who works in tech.

    Quality article. Refreshing compared to the recycled content
    you see on this topic. Whoever wrote this actually understands this space.

    Saved.

    Been working in media and can confirm most of this. Mainly the part about
    CDN costs. Good to see someone cover this correctly.

    Only read this and wanted to drop a note. Learned something new.
    The comparison between streaming methods was really helpful.

    That is among the best posts I have read on this subject.
    Straight to the point, just real knowledge. Thanks for putting this together.
