I don’t watch as much new TV as I used to. I only have a few shows in my DVR. Mostly I just watch movies I’ve seen a million times. If I want to pay attention, I like them, but if I don’t want to pay attention, I won’t miss anything. I like the background noise.
Doctor Who is a new show I still watch, and the new season just started. Doctor Who is a woman this season. It was a bit of a controversy, because the Doctor has always been a man. But in the Doctor Who universe, the Doctor “regenerates” and becomes a new actor quite regularly. This is the thirteenth Doctor – the thirteenth actor to play the part.
I love her. The first two episodes have been great. This Doctor has the quirky mannerisms and funny quips that I’ve come to expect from a Doctor. I’m already emotionally invested. Her Companions are great too. I am really looking forward to seeing more episodes.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am so happy that it is back on! It is my Monday night treat to watch the new episode, and it give me some hope for the upcoming winter.
I like her quite a bit, too. I loved Peter Capaldi, but his warm heart was hiddent under a prickly exterior. She seems very open-hearted and filled with wonder. It’s a good take on the character.
I wish we lived closer – at least for an hour each week. 🙂
