Season Five: Bored Now
I'm really not digging the new season thus far, and I can't put my finger on exactly why.
Each episode has watchable bits, and Karen Gillan has extremely pretty hair. But, for the most part, the season has been a big snore.
Is it too much of a kids' show? Well, the rainbow of Daleks was pretty annoying, although to be honest the physical redesign bothered me more than the recolor- that weird blocky thing the zap gun and the plunger come out of? Was that always there? (And, since the Dalek casing is a machine, why did they need genetic... never mind. That Progenitor thing is a jerk, I guess.)
Is it that the Doctor is full of himself? Yeah, kind of. That trap speech in episode 4 was a groaner. But all the Doctors are like that, even my beloved Ninth. (I almost typed "Nine." Heh.)
I don't understand it. The Empty Child was awesome. Blink was a lot of fun. What, if anything, changed? Is it just me? (Probably.)
