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. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t fail me just as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I really thought you’d have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you can fix if you weren’t too busy seeking attention.

  2. I think what you published was very reasonable.
    But, think about this, what if you typed a catchier title?

    I ain’t suggesting your content is not solid, however suppose you added something to maybe
    grab people’s attention? I mean Hello, Sweetie | Fandom Love is kinda boring.
    You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article headlines to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get people excited about what you’ve written. Just my
    opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
