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!

  15. May I simply say what a relief to find a person that actually
    knows what they are discussing online. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    More people should look at this and understand this side of the
    story. I was surprised that you are not more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.

  24. An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do think that you ought to write more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but usually people don’t talk about such subjects.
    To the next! Best wishes!!

  28. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining,
    and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

    The problem is something that too few men and
    women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this during my search for something regarding
    this.
