Well I just got finished with watching this week’s Doctor Who and I can only say that it was the best of the series so far. OK – it was sentimental and we had the return of old characters Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, but it was a return to form I had been hoping for. The story was wafer thin but that wasn’t the point – the point was to illustrate that the Doctor was a man with a past and hopefully all the kiddiwinks will be going off to buy Doctor Who DVDs tomorrow to see Sarah Jane and the Doctor in their younger days. The episode itself had much better pace, used all the characters well and didn’t Anthony Head do a great job of being slimy and malevolent?
Me and The MIssus really enjoyed it and there were a few moist eye moments too. I especially liked the introduction of Sarah Jane, her discovery of the TARDIS and the Doctor and K-9 opening a can of whup-ass on the bat people. And when K-9 reappeared from behind the TARDIS at the end, I was a very happy boy. I knew the Doctor wouldn’t have left him all smushed up. Ooooh…look/…I have reverted back to type – I am an eleven year old boy again.
The only thing I am not happy about is that the series has left me feeling a little confused. I still have the hots for Sarah Jane and she’s only two years younger than my mother. I feel dirty…but in a good kind of way. And heck, I even warmed to David Tennant this week – when he’s not being so flippant and blokish, his serious Doctor persona is quite good.
Bring on the Cybermen, I say!
