So I finished it
Sep. 6th, 2007 11:50 amIn addition to consuming two hours of Carnivale, I managed to squeeze in the last two episodes of this latest season of Doctor Who.
Check out the icon on this post. That is almost exactly my reaction.
Let me be clear upfront: saying this is the worst season of the new Who so far isn't saying much. They've only had three seasons anyway, and besides old-skool Doctor Who is littered with its own bad episodes and seasons (and Doctors, apparently). Still? WORST SEASON.
( Spoilers and ranting beneath the cut. )
As I was telling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
viridian last night, seeing posters for Torchwood (there's one on my way to work! I see Captain Jack every day!) makes me realize how truly awful that show was. And, combined with my overall negative attitude towards this season of Doctor Who, I have zero interest in picking up with Torchwood's second season. The only reason I'm even interested in next year's Doctor Who is for who I've heard will be on it. I think taking a break from new Who is the best thing I can do, and I don't mind a jot waiting for the Christmas special. The Christmas specials are usually fun, and it might just do to shake me of the new Who blues. I think, or thought, that was a good plan.
And then this happened:
viridian: Skip the Christmas special. It's got Kylie Minogue.
Me: ...
Me: Okay, new plan: I will forget about Doctor Who until its new season and will watch the second season of Robin Hood up through Christmas to get my BBC-fix. Yes.
