what do you like/dislike about them?

The Caretaker

alright, it seems clear to me, and probably to everyone by now, the new incarnation of the Doctor is mentally a bit thick. Not stupid, but clearly not the brightest bulb in the pack.

How long does it take to figure out who Clara is dating?

How long does it take for him to pay attention to the fact that Pink is NOT a P.E. teacher?

Does he really think that changing to a different color coat is a good disguise?

Is he ever going to get a clue?

Is he simply amusing himself by making us all think he is Thick McThickington from Thicksville?

Yeah, his eyebrows make him the boss. We get it.

The story is pretty good, but drive a stake through the heart of the punsters..... we want a brilliant Doctor, we have always had a Brilliant Doctor and a thick one is wearing thin.

pun intended.

LISTEN

Finally! An episode that is as timey-wimey as it needs to be, and as creepy as hell. I have been waiting, less than patiently, for this.

Good golly!

Robots in Sherwood?

O.K., I waited overnight to post anything about this second episode. It was more fun that the first, but I really wonder what is going on with the writers. It is a flimsy plot at best, it's like they have forgotten this is not just a children's program anymore.

The robots, seem like a one trick pony to me. ok, they open their heads and blast a beam of destructo ray at people. Boring. Really boring. They have no real purpose, except to be out of place, and they really are not much of a threat if they can be foiled by shiny surfaces.

The Doctor is a bit of a argument starter, he doesn't seem especially clever to me right now. Most drunken morons can start an argument. Step up old man, you do have over 2,000 years of wits about you! REALLY!!!

Clara looks lovely in the period garb, but we kind of expect a pretty girl to look good. She is getting to seem smarter than our main character, WRITERS>>>>>>>>> HELLO!!!

I enjoyed the bit about the arrows, until it got mundane. Stop at the best stopping time. Don't wait until we get bored of a stunt.

ok, nuff said.
