It's good to see a Whovian community here.
I do enjoy Donna best, of the new companions. No lovey dovey between them, thank goodness. The move of the Doctor in a sexual being, honestly, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
The aloof, powerful and asexual Doctor suits the idea, to my mind, of an alien with the capacity to travel space and time. Time Lords would certainly be more detached from the experience, while caring.
They have turned him into an emotional cripple with companions that swoon and bat their lashes. At least Donna has the verve to tell him what she really thinks.
Another "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" and I'll curl into a ball of self-hatred because I, like a dutiful fan, watches every week hoping for the best.
I have gone back and watched the old series and don't feel that lose one sometimes does because shows just don't make the transition. The stories do feel timeless. The acting is quality and I am so enthralled, I frankly don't care about the cheesy effects. Heck, it gives it some charm.
I was excited Moffat was taking over so there'd be a move away from this addle-patted drivel of catchy one-liners, plots with holes enough to be a sieve, and blatently and construed emotional moments. It doesn't do to have a character die if you just don't give a damn about them.
Last week's Forest of the Dead, well, without splashing spoilers, I will say, the series hit my saturation point of tolerance. They are breaching the sancrosant territory of Mystery. Anymore 'startling revelations' and there's nothing left of the character.
I have much more to rant because my passion is strong for one of the few fandoms I belong....but all that said, I wait with anticipation for every episode, Confidential and commentary.
Then, the sad news that Moffat was in the 'ship' camp of thoughts. My hopes have been dashed upon the cliffs of anticipation.
