Title: Once Upon a Time

You know, this could have been so damn epic, but RTD just didn't pull it together right.

For starters, that drumming wasn't properly explained. For something that has become - at least within my group of friends - such a motif of the show (I keep finding people drumming out that tune), it has no real substance behind it. Ugh. Such a wonderfully ( Read more... )

Um, wow.

OK, so while I can't say I ship Doctor/Joan, I'd certainly go for John/Joan. He looks at her like he used to look at Rose.

Seriously. What was the point of any of that?

More later. I'm off to watch some pre-series three Who and remind myself that there used to be a plot to this show.

Well, it was all a bit stolen from Harry Potter, wasn't it?

I'm not sure what I thought of that.

This is incredibly long and pointless. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I definitely liked it better than last week's, and I think overall I really did enjoy watching it, but it had some massive problems.

Right, straight to it - Freema's acting. There were ( Read more... )

 So. I think, with Rose gone and my inherent love for the show with her, that RTD is having to work extra hard to get me to like these episodes. I’m noticing the plot holes that always used to pass me by before. I’m cringing at cheesey lines, I’m getting annoyed at the too-loud music, I’m sulking whenever things get shippy.
Now I know how those who ( Read more... )
