You know, I'm sick of being negative about Doctor Who. But it really has become embarrassingly bad. I watched the series premiere tonight and it actually made the Torchwood series finale I watched last night look half-decent. At least that particular episode of Torchwood only had a single unrealistic one-dimensional character instead of an entire cast made up of them, including the Doctor himself. And plot? Bah, who needs a plot when you can fill your characters with lame one-liners and beat people over the head with silly, overly bombastic, and entirely inappropriate orchestral music every time a character so much as blinks. Utter crap. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
On a more positive note, the season opener of Battlestar Galactica was quite good. And Ashes to Ashes holds up the premise developed in Life on Mars surprisingly well.
