The New Series of Doctor Who: Fleeing From Format?

An anonymous reader sends in this thoughtful article about the format of Doctor Who: "The New Series has given itself two basic tasks. One, to put back and keep on our screens a program by the name of Doctor Who that maintains substantial visible continuity with the classic series in many ways. Two, and this is where conflicting elements start to come in, to seek to define this resurrected program against many aspects of the classic series, even fundamental aspects, in pursuit of task one. In itself this is neither good nor bad. If anything it is on balance probably a good thing to seek to redress the shortcomings of the classic series, but what matters, ultimately, is the choices involved and their execution."

Who writes these reviews?

I don't think I've ever seen so much waffling outside an IHOP.

(The last Episode with the Angels is quite good really EXCEPT THE ENDING SUCKS.

You have to watch the last few minutes very closely or you'll miss why it's awesome. You probably blinked.
