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!

    LUXEMBOURG, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Germany’s economic model is not broken but Europe’s biggest economy has lost competitiveness over the past decade, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.

    “We can’t be satisfied with the economic developments in Germany,” he told journalists ahead of
    a Eurogroup meeting.

    The German economy is expected to contract by 0.2% in 2024, an economy ministry spokesperson said on Monday,
    cutting the forecast from a previous projection of 0.3% growth this year.

    If realised, this would be the second consecutive year
    of contraction for Germany’s economy, which was the weakest among its large euro zone peers last year with a 0.3% decline
    in gross domestic product.

    Lindner said the government was introducing supply-side measures to try to return the economy to growth.

    “After these reforms, Germany will have more competitiveness again,” Lindner said, adding that the growth initiative was
    just a first step for an economic turnaround, “but we have to build on it.”

    AMBITION NEEDED

    Lindner said “ambition” was needed to keep EU public finances
    in order, or to put them back in order where necessary.

    “I can only encourage everyone to implement structural reforms and to make unpopular decisions,” Lindner said.
    “What seems to be unpopular at the moment is the willingness to take responsibility for the next generation and for the stability of the European Union as a whole.”

    Lindner said he could not comment on the French budget plans
    because he had not had the chance to talk with
    his French colleagues yet, but he would do so on Monday evening.

    “We should all realise that the credibility of public finances vis-à-vis the capital markets is not to be trifled with,” Lindner said.

    “We must credibly reduce our deficits and our debt so that we can continue to finance ourselves well and in a stable manner.”
