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. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your weblog.
    You have some really great posts and I believe
    I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d
    love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.

  2. Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours take
    a lot of work? I’m brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a
    daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and
    thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any
    ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
