Dr Who

I actually liked it quite a lot - except for one bit.

I've basically plonked the Moffat Dr Who as "Well written kid's TV" - more obviously so than RTDs - and thus I don't require things to make _actual_ sense, just to be vaguely internally consistent to the same level as, say, fairy-tales.

This being the case I could have done with a bloody explanation of why having the android recall his human side would any effect on his blowing up! Spitfires in Space, though, I was fine with. Possibly this was because I'd seen them in the trailer though.

Julie, on the other hand, just wanted Ms Pond to stab the Dr with a flagpole and then steal the box to have adventures by herself. Heck, she could even pick up a companion of her own if she fancied it.

Actually, I'm really enjoying this series, in part because Moffet's dispensing with all that REALLY IRRITATING HANDWAVING Davis insisted on plugging into scripts. If the cost, for me, of the most consistent and compelling characterization and overall plots of the current series is that and a loss of some of the familiarity that Tennant brought into the role, early on (really, and in part because of Rose's continuity, he was far more relatable and comprehensible, in both good and bad ways, at this point than Smith's Doctor has been), then I'm overall more than OK with it.
