Doctor?

Well, Dr Who seemed marvellous. Steven Moffat is brilliant, Matt Smith is the Best Doctor Ever, and Karen Gillan is a fabulous companion. The first stories were compelling and interesting, including revisiting the weeping angels. It transpires that Blink was written by Steven Moffat, so that explains a Lot. According to wiki, he also wrote Press Gang and Coupling so he should clearly be forced to write everything Charlie Brooker doesn't have time to write.

And it seems that David Tennant isn't all that attractive after all. Matt Smith is quite clearly an ugly man, but now he is as attractive as can be. Thus proving that it is the Doctor that's attractive.Ok, David Tennant's quite pretty. And he is Scottish, which is irrelevant in a mattering very much manner. But I'm *liking* Matt Smith now. Even though he's a child and it is very very wrong.

Tangent. Or two Sorry.

Back to Dr Who, series 5 (ignoring all pre-ecclestonian episodes). What was this week's episode? It was very reminiscent of the previous series (plural) with David Tennant. In other words, it wasn't all that good. Amy's fiance Rory(?) was a poor actor, and he seemed to drag the others down to his level. The story was ok, but a bit silly, and the effects were back to traditional Dr Who quality -  rubbish, while still probably being Very Expensive.

Here's hoping it bounces back next week. It promised to be something different, and it will be very disappointing if it slips to normal standards of tedium.
