The evil tube

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.
