Doctor Who Again

Three episodes in and I’m magnificently underwhelmed.

It’s mainly bish-bosh action and rushing on. The dialogue isn’t coming over well, at least to me. Is it the actors’ diction, or too much background noise, or am I going deaf?

And Karen Gillan ought to have refused to utter the line, “Well, I’m still here, aren’t I?”

As a Scot she should have insisted on, “Well, I’m still here, amn’t I?”

    It’s not all bad though. The new Dalek design is cracking. Here’s hoping they can rescue both the Daleks and the Cybermen from Russell T’s awful versions.

    And Philip K. Dick is now writing for the series.

    I’m afraid you’ve lost me there, Jim.

    Hear, hear on the “amn’t” issue.

    On the rest… yes, there’s something not quite… there yet. We’ll see next week, with River Song and Weeping Angels coming back, I guess. If that’s underwhelming, then the whole show is past its peak.
