You look time lord!

A double-decker bus in the desert? Kinda cool, although I had certain Harry Potter/The Mummy moments there (both movies I like very much, and I’m all for mixing up the genres).

This Doctor Who episode had some priceless dialogue in it, but the plot was not so outstanding - I keep noticing that in all the specials, actually. It seems to me like the focus is shifting more and more towards spectacular effects, too, which is unfortunate because the series was never about that… I mean, you can see the wallpaper falling off the back wall in the old series, but it was still brilliant! And why were there so many cheap wishy washy explanations in this episode? If you don’t know how to say “close that wormhole” in a way that doesn’t make a scientist with half a brain bash his head against the wall, then just say “close that wormhole” and leave it at that. By the way, how about an average-looking male companion for a change? I’m all for emancipation, but please, not all clever/courageous people out there a female and look like they’ve just escaped from a photoshoot. And I swear, if I hear the Doctor whining one more time, I’ll…. well, there’s not much I can do, I realise that, but I’ll just…. get very angry (beware!!). If he doesn’t want to risk losing people, he should just retire to a nice planet with pink fluffy things running around or something. It’s not like he doesn’t have a choice.

Now, the moments that made me not want the last hour of my life back: First of all, David speaking that strange alien language was really priceless (I wonder how many times he had to try that :-D ). I liked the genius with the Scottish accent who hung up on the Doctor, too (why did he have to be gay, though?). Plus the Malcolms and Bernards. The description of the Doctor as a “psychological condition” almost made me fall off my chair (it reminded me of a very similar moment from Casanova, too, and David had almost the same expression on his face). Oh, and the salutes. There was tons of good stuff in there, but I guess it’s just easier to rant about what they messed up. Well, everyone’s a critic.

Would someone who doesn’t know Doctor Who consider me a freak if I wear a T-shirt with “I’ll just step into this police box and arrest myself” on it? I could also get one with “You look time lord” or, considering I’m about to start my A-levels in a couple of weeks, “The worse it gets the more I love it”. If I end up in a strait jacket, I’m definitely blaming this series.
