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. The way you highlighted social engagement in Independent and Assisted Living is so important. Loneliness is a big issue for seniors. I saw similar advice on respite care , which stresses the value of community in senior living.

  2. Smaller senior care homes really seem to offer more personalized attention with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and meal prep. It feels much more human and less institutional. I’d definitely consider a place like respite care for a loved one.

  3. We’re currently deciding if my mom should move from Independent Living to Assisted Living, so this breakdown is timely. I’ve been checking resources like respite care to better understand the signs that it’s time to transition.

  4. It’s refreshing to see a non-scary explanation of senior living options. There’s a lot of fear around the idea of “going to a home.” Articles like this and resources such as senior living help make the process more understandable.
