He’s Mr. Cool

This week’s Doctor Who episode, “Amy’s Choice”, was one of my favorites so far. Although what we saw was a bit confusing (or rather, confused), the overall storyline gave us a chance to see deep into our Doctor’s mind. This Doctor is not quirky. He is not happy-go-lucky. He is not satisfied. What he is, is badly damaged. When the Ninth Doctor appeared, we got a good look at the guilt, regret, and loneliness. Ten all but hit us over the head with the constant reminders of the same. This is different. Eleven has internalized all of the trauma and seems to be trying to heal through continuing on. On paper, it seems cliche and boring. Eleven, however, gives haunting flinches and gazes that subtly remind us that all is not well.

This episode did two much needed things in a very simple way. It used “dreams” to allow us to wrap up the issue of Amy’s choice and to remind us that our Doctor is carrying his demons heavily. I’m enjoying the season possibly even more than Nine’s because I honestly do not know what to expect from The Doctor, and that is a very good feeling.

    But so what, it was still worth it!

    A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would
    really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where
    you got your theme. Appreciate it

    that I think I would never understand. It seems too
    complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try
    to get the hang of it!

  20. Hello! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.

    this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    Many thanks!

    for this info for my mission.

  25. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video

    blog when you could be giving us something
    informative to read?

    info much. I was seeking this certain information for a very long time.
    Thanks and best of luck.

  30. Unquestionably imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest factor to have
    in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get irked even as other folks think about issues
    that they plainly don’t know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest
    and defined out the entire thing without having side effect , other people could
    take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  31. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard
    work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

  32. It’s in fact very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV, thus
    I simply use the web for that purpose, and take the latest
    news.

  33. Tremendous things here. I am very happy to peer
    your article. Thank you so much and I am having a look forward to contact you.
