This is actually something which reassures me that it's not knee-jerk anti-Rustiness which causes me to dislike much of New Who, year on year. I want to like Who every time it's on and particularly find myself hoping each year that the season opener is the mark of a sea change.<BR/><BR/>Also, the season openers tend to be light even by Rusty standards on plot, which makes for less plot-illogicality, there being so much less plot to be illogical with.Stuart Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232782649771676547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-45118974902447290322008-04-07T01:37:00.000-07:002008-04-07T01:37:00.000-07:00Stuart: "I liked it loads*"Hand over your mantle o...Stuart: "I liked it loads*"<BR/><BR/>Hand over your mantle of Oracle Of All That Is Good And Right In Doctor Who now! ;)<BR/><BR/>Stuart: "though Julie has pointed out I like the first episode every year."<BR/><BR/>It's a factor I've been aware of - and make note of in my next post - that the return of any favoured show brings with it a certain degree of goodwill. Not saying that was all that was at play for you here, but since you bring it up, it was something I felt during Smith & Jones, and even New Earth to an extent. Buoyed up just to have Who back, and full of optimism for the new season. With Smith & Jones, that positivity faded by the next episode and now I only have vague memories of what I might have thought was good about it at the time. With New Earth, it dissipated during the episode. With Partners In Crime, it withered away that much sooner. That's just me.<BR/><BR/>Now, as for you, sir, what can I say but, get well soon. ;)SAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654559289732417538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-12621730027383578722008-04-07T01:22:00.000-07:002008-04-07T01:22:00.000-07:00{shuffles in cautiously}I liked it loads*{runs bac...{shuffles in cautiously}<BR/><BR/>I liked it loads*<BR/><BR/>{runs back out the door}<BR/><BR/>* though Julie has pointed out I like the first episode every year.

Do you think the fact the OG servers are repeatedly crashing tonight is down to them being overloaded by enthusiastic fans of the Adipose begging for their return?"<BR/><BR/>I would never doubt the fans' capacity to see worth in something so worthless. On top of its insistence on wearing its childish credentials on its sleeve, the New Series demonstrates a certain shameless desperation to be liked, and has the good fortune to be matched by an equal desperation on the part of its fans to defend each new low.<BR/><BR/>No self-respecting shark would be seen dead in such waters, so I suspect it'll be some pitiful flounder that does all the jumping ;) Or a puffer fish, perhaps, with its ability, when threatened, to inflate itself and become all spiky. :)SAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654559289732417538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-42600879149253036042008-04-05T15:27:00.000-07:002008-04-05T15:27:00.000-07:00'Partners in Crime' was televisual herpes - it mak...'Partners in Crime' was televisual herpes - it makes you feel like crap sticks with you for the rest of your life. <BR/><BR/>RTD and the gang better watch out, I think I spot a shark fin in the waters ahead.<BR/><BR/>BTW.
