Doctor Who 50th comment

I still think they should have done something with more Doctors somehow, and the 3D effects were horrid and nauseating on non 3D TVs but the story wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

They missed an OBVIOUS way to have the actors who were the previous companions in it though. Having the weapon be embodied as Rose aka Billie Piper worked fine, but it would have been nice if it flipped through a bunch of different companions, old and new either with the actors or as stills from previous episodes or SOMETHING. It just would have been such a nice touch.

I didn't like the way they chose to end the storyline, it makes little sense as to how all twelve showed up or how any of this fits into the canon created in "The End of Time" which is a SL I hated anyway but.....

The last scene in the museum though!!!! (But but but all the others.... WHY NOT HAVE THE OTHERS)

It was better than I expected. But, to be fair, I'd set the bar very, very low. I was really apathetic about the last season and I'm 'meh' on Eleven in general. I can't really say you definitely should see it, but if it's on and you're around.... go for it?

I'll have the option to steam it on the TV once Space gets it up, unless the BBC has ruled against streaming for some reason. I was hoping to they'd put 'An Adventure in Space and Time' up, since I did want to see that and missed it, but they haven't yet. Perhaps too soon.

I don't mind Eleven as he's portrayed, Matt Smith is lovely. I just don't like his writing. But that's Moffat, as always, and we're stuck with him.

I watched "An Adventure in Time and Space' it was... okay. I liked the look at TV in the 60s a lot though.

And Moffatt. *sighs* Yeah, that's all I'm going to say about him.

Hmm, sounds like I haven't missed much, then. Well, if they are playing and I am present, I'll take a look. Otherwise, Mum and I will continue with our QI kick. :-p

QI is infinitely better. I love QI.
