Doctor Who

Do we have a thread for Doctor Who?
Does anyone watch it?

The new season started today and it's another half-length one with the other half coming later in the year. The Ponds are still the companions until the fifth episode which apparently centres around Angels.
Not sure how to feel about that because I thoroughly disliked the last time they brought those guys back but we'll see how it is, I'm not sure I'll miss Amy too much.

The episode that aired today was called Asylum of the Daleks.
Next week is the deeply unsettlingly titled "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" which seems to involve a lot of anachronisms as part of the plot.
There's also going to be some kind of robot western, one called "The Power of Three" and the previously mentioned finale.

From the titles alone I'm not sure how much to anticipate this season (though to be fair on the writers I am a bit pessimistic about Doctor Who in general and would put it at about a 1:4 on the ratio of good:bad episodes due to their vast number of writers of various skill).
You may ask then why I still watch it but that's because the ones that are good are very good! Just... don't be surprised if this topic ends up just being me ranting about continuity errors every Saturday.
Also it's probably Treason to be British and not watch Doctor Who.

Today's episode at least managed to be better than I had gone in expecting it to be considering it's with a reused villain in great numbers (Daleks are clearly better when there are fewer of them).

Bloody hell, how many times will the Doctor have to annihilate the entirety of the Daleks before they stay fucking dead.

Pretty much everything you've said, man. I'd be okay with Moffats "Let's go stupid big/crazy this season" thing, if that didn't mean that we probably just watched one of the better episodes of the season, even with all those plot holes =/.

...Let Niel Gaiman write another episode ;_;

Good Game
 

Hex: Yes, you've read the book, you've seen the film - now avoid the game like the plague lest your memory of Harry Potter's epic conclusion be tainted by what can only be described as a short, half-arsed cover-shooter that's boring beyond belief.

Bajo: ...It's shit.

Not so much to say about this one because it was a comedy episode and there is no better casting than Mitchell and Webb as comedy robots

but uh

then there is the one massive problem
