Is This Planet Protected?

1,036,943 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*

  4. So it’s kind of a complicated process, but here’s the two-sentence version: Lightning
    is an electric current that takes the path of least resistance from the base of
    a cloud to the ground. Since the air it travels through
    is not uniform—variations in things like temperature, humidity, and pollutants determine how resistant air is to the charge—the lightning has to zig and zag to stay on that path.

    One way to understand it is to look at a crack in the sidewalk
    (or perhaps a cracker) and compare that shape to the path of a lightning stroke through the
    sky. Lightning usually originates at altitudes of around ten miles, and can reach
    about that far horizontally. Air does not conduct electricity until it is broken down (‘ionized’) by a high voltage electric
    field. This breakdown is a random, unpredictable process that proceeds in a series of steps between the sky and
    the earth.
