The Week in Entertainment
DVD: Doctor Who: The End of Time - yes finally got it. And enjoyed it quite a lot. Also Wallander series two, which is brilliant.
TV: Caught up on Doctor Who. I like the new guy, though couldn't they have waited just a little before bringing back the Daleks??? Two eps of The Mentalist - a lot of fun. Modern Family - Dude, you should label those drumsticks! I also caught up on House.
Read: Science Friction by Michael Shermer, a little ragged but some of the essays were very good. Brigade - the further adventures of Inspector Lestrade, a very easy-to-read, enjoyable pastiche of Holmes, with the inimitable Sholto Lestrade as the protagonist.

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->I think the new Doctor is terrible, for two main reasons.
One, appearance. Appearance matters, if you're a television hero, and you cannot possibly wear that hairstyle on that face and still be taken seriously. Matt Smith is to hairstyle what Colin Baker was to dress sense - worse, because in Colin's case it was part of a consistent persona.
Two, personality. Every incarnation of the Doctor has a distinct personality. That's how it's always been, and should continue to be. But where is Matt Smith's personality? He doesn't have one; all he does is a pale imitation of David Tennant.
Well, the Doctor always has goofy hair. Always.
And it's a bit early yet to ping on the personality. At least he's not obnoxious. And I don't see Ten being quite as attracted to troubled children as Eleven is... for good or bad, it's a difference.
