Is This Planet Protected?

1,033,313 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*

  3. Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie

    Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations reopened two days after a
    chaotic election, set to test the ruling party’s 34-year grip on power,
    was marred by technical problems.

    Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday’s election was marked by long delays
    and labelled a “sham” by the opposition.

    Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and
    legislative polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia’s 1990
    independence from South africa.

    Wednesday’s queues were caused by many technical problems, including issues with tablets used to register voters and shortages of ballot papers.

    In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had run out of batteries and mobile voting teams had left areas with voters still in the queues, it said.

    Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the
    electoral commission extended the vote for a second time,
    giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.

    In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people
    showed up on Friday, including Kluivert Muuondjo who arrived at 4:30 am.

    The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until
    11:00 pm on Wednesday but left before being able
    to vote as he had exams the next day.

    “Everyone will have the chance to vote,” he said. But because Namibians can vote
    at any given polling station, he was worried “everyone will flock to one place again.”

    The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties
    with some calling for a halt in the electoral process.

    Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a joint statement, according to Christine Aochamus
    who represents the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party.

    Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of
    a generation born after independence are challenging support towards SWAPO which
    has ruled since 1990.

    Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to
    lead the country if elected, could face an unprecedented
    second round in the mineral rich country.

    “To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd,” said voter Ensley
    Engermund, who also said he couldn’t vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite trying four different polling stations.

    “Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?” asked the 49-year-old security agent.

    “It was to get people frustrated.”

  49. Definitely believe that which you stated.
    Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries
    that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having
    side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks
