Dr Who

[Mikey]

The Psychic paper and the Sonic Screwdriver are over-used and for things they are not needed for. ?

It's funny thinking JNT got rid of the sonic screwdriver because he thought it was overused back then.

Today, the Doctor constantly has it in his hand... I never thought i'd hear myself say this but I wish he would lose it.

Everytime I see Smith pull it out I roll my eyes and say -- who writes this crap, a 10 year old ?

I am getting into the new season. Matt Smith is finding his way but his first episode makes up for that awful trailer and the brief appearance he made after the regeneration took place.

I detect some serious Davison vibe from him, ( tho he dresses like a younger version of a Troughton Doctor). He is very physical like Pertwee. I love Amy. She is a very strong female character. Are Scottish women the type that take no guff from anyone? I could listen to that accent all day.

The Psychic paper and the Sonic Screwdriver are over-used and for things they are not needed for. The new Daleks are too fat for my tastes and their simplistic design is too old school for me. Keep the armoured, military green look. That's damn cool! Supposedly the Cybermen will be revamped this season as well. Perhaps they will be this universes Cybermen and not from the alternate one?

Lots of tidbits here

Episodes 12 & 13

I haven't a clue what the pandorica is but I'll be turning my phone off on Saturday night..

From the little i saw in last weeks preview, i'm guessing it's a Tardis or some other piece of Timelord tech ( like the Genesis Ark ).

Looks like the finale is going to big, Cybermen (with space ships?) Daleks, Nestene, should be interesting.

They need to dump Amy and use that woman with the drilling company. She'd make a better companion I think. Unless they bump her off in the next episode.

That would be so cool. The old man would have to go too and there could be all these scenes where the Dr. walks into a room when they're trying to get busy.

did anyone notice when the lizard people(cant remember their name) scanned Amy and seemed like a heart beat in her stomach?

I thought that too.

BTW, they're called Silurians.

I like Amy. I hope she stays for a long time.

Who is getting better. Smith is starting to find his way. He's not channeling Tennant nearly so much and is starting to find his own voice. You're right about the screwdriver thing. Smith waves that thing around like a conductor at the orchestra. It's amazing that thing doesn't burst into flame from the air friction.

The character that's really bothering me is Pond. She chews up scenery like a mulching mower. As good as she looked in that first episode (I can't tell you how badly I wanted to be arrested), she is now that annoying.

I agree with you. Amy is coming off as being very peevish and immature. I really feel sorry for her fiancee who seems to be the well rounded and sensible person in the couple. Plus there seems to be too much emphasis being put into their relationship and Amy's "choice". Rose and Mickey was on the same level while Amy and her boyfriend are clearly not. Amy doesn't get yet that no companion has permanently stayed with the Doctor.

I think the sonic screwdriver gets used way too often. He needs to loose it for a few episodes. I kind of like the dimensional rift story line...

the writing is good, but I'm still on the fence with the 11th Doctor.

Loving the new series.
