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. Your explanation makes it clear that Independent Living is more like a retirement community, while Nursing Homes are more clinical. That’s consistent with what I’ve read on respite care when comparing different senior housing models.

  2. Seniors with mobility challenges often do better in a compact, familiar setting. In a smaller home, it’s easier to safely assist with transfers, bathing, and grooming. dementia care appears to understand this need.

  3. The way you separated medical monitoring in Nursing Homes from the supportive environment in Assisted Living really clarifies expectations. I used respite care to see typical services offered in each category.

  4. I appreciate how you explained that Independent Living is great for seniors who are still fairly self-sufficient but want community. For more information on these options, I’ve also been reading guides on respite care .
