Marathon watching is the best watching
First official post of the New Year, and also a fulfillment of my promise to start writing at least once a week in 2009. Really, guys, get on me if I'm not doing that. I almost missed this week.
So since the New Year, almost the only thing I have been doing is marathon-watching Series 4 of "Doctor Who". Yesterday, I finally finished.
( Some vague and scattered thoughts. Haven't rewatched yet, so these are kind of off the top of my head. )

OH MY GOD YES, I am not the only one who thinks this! I don't like the look of him that much. He creeps me out a little. Also, I was kind of hoping they'd go for someone older than David Tennant for the next Doctor, as opposed to someone younger. So I'm skeptical as well- but very open to being proven wrong. ;)
Also, if this guy can reincarnate himself as anyone, why would he come up as a white straight male each time?
True. I've considered that before, although it's never really bothered me. I think it's more likely that we'll see a female Doctor before we see a non-white one. The show tends to be fairly racially diverse in its supporting and minor characters, so I'm more willing to overlook the fact that it falls into the sci-fi tradition of a white male lead. :)
I totally understand being a backseat follower of a show, by the way- knowing all about it from others even though you've never seen it yourself. You should watch it one day, though. I'm of the opinion that it's the best thing on TV right now!
