Hello, Sweetie

Our poor Doctor. He’s so harangued by River Song. LOL. Even the brief, surprise greeting of, “Hello, Sweetie,” elicits such a hangdog response that you just want to put your arm around The Doctor and tell him that everything will be okay. Being out of the loop, I had no idea there was a current running through fandom with theories about River. I’m pretty bad to take a plot point at face value and just let the story play out, but now I’m dying to get into the conspiracy theorists’ minds.

That’s the big difference with the new series; it’s smarter. Certainly not to disparage RTD’s helm, which was still largely better than anything else on television, but the nuances now are just a bit more mature and cerebral. Perhaps the least cerebral clue, as I mentioned before, is “The Crack” and though I did not spot the crack in the episode, it’s FINALLY being seen by The Doctor in the preview for next week’s episode. Next week’s episode, by the way, looks to be full of excitement, and motion, and intrigue.

In what I consider to be the mark of greatness for a show, a Twitter friend of mine is just getting into Doctor Who, and I’m proud to have him jump on board with Eleven and Amy. Welcome to the greatest show on Earth. Or Gallifrey. Or Raxacoricofallapatorius. Or, well, you get the picture. With The Doctor and the TARDIS, anything is possible!

  1. always i used to read smaller articles or reviews that as well clear their motive, and
    that is also happening with this article which I am reading at this place.

  3. That hangdog reaction to “Hello, Sweetie” always makes me laugh, especially once the River theories start piling up. I recently brought a damaged old Doctor-and-River fan photo back to life using Mejorar Calidad de Imagen, the Spanish-first tool our small indie team is building, so this post hit a wonderfully nostalgic note.

  4. River’s “Hello, Sweetie” makes me laugh because the Doctor looks tired before the conversation even starts. I take every plot twist at face value too, while my partner builds theories from one raised eyebrow. The two of us use KnowUsWell, and we have the same divide there: she studies every answer, while I click first and think later.
