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. Nice write up. I found this really helpful. The part about video quality was spot on. Will come back to
    this later.

    I was reading about how streaming works lately and this post explains it clearly.

    Cheers.

    Found this while looking up CDN info. Glad I did. The stuff about server infrastructure is often overlooked.

    Genuinely insightful write up about the tech behind streaming.

    People generally overlook the tech. Sent this to my team who works in hosting.

    Quality content. Not the usual copy paste posts you see on this subject.
    Author actually understands this space. Coming back to this.

    I am in hosting and this checks out. Mainly the section on adaptive streaming.
    Refreshing that someone explain this without oversimplifying.

    Only finished reading this and had to say something. Really well done.
    The analysis between streaming methods was especially useful.

    Probably among the best pieces I found on video infrastructure.
    No fluff, just useful information. Good job on this.
