She was so excellent and moody. It seemed too, well, ragged. Unfinished ends everywhere. Mind you, I have the same thoughts on Gaiman as a writer: love some stuff, lukewarm on other stuff. <br /><br />I was discussing the new Doctor with husband last night. He doesn't have quite the charisma and sex appeal of DT (the new Doctor, I mean, not my husband). He's very funny and cute but not sexy. He doesn't do pathos as well. And he's so young; if he WERE sexy I'd feel pervy having a crush on him. We all universally dislike Amy. Blah on the Pond. Love the Rory, even if they overdo that Die-Every-Episode schtick. And River? Love River. <br /><br />I think Stephen Moffat has been spreading himself too thin. Russell T-D had a very tight, coherent line going, even considering that he didn't write every episode, with the momentum and the tension building so strongly that by the end of DT's tenure we were all about to burst. This new series has lost that desperateness that I liked so much. <br /><br />Have you seen Jeckyl? It's Stephen Moffat-penned. And it stars the man I hoped would replace DT as the Doctor: James Nesbit. He's brilliant.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-33822316379520572802011-05-19T18:28:38.443-07:002011-05-19T18:28:38.443-07:00I quite liked the Gaiman episode of Doctor Who. T...I quite liked the Gaiman episode of Doctor Who. The whole show is striving for a very different look and feel than in the past. Still deciding if I like the overall mood of the season, but I thought the TARDIS as a woman worked very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
