Doctor Who is good again

Doctor Who is good again June 30, 2008

Are any of you “Doctor Who” fans? That is to say, Whovians? I would just like to say that David Tennant has to be the best Doctor since Tom Baker. Yes, he is too young, but he projects a persona that is both madcap and enigmatic. Also, the writing for that series has really gotten good. This last two-part episode about the Library had to be one of the most remarkable plots I have seen on TV, with layer upon layer of metafiction, time paradox, virtual reality, epistemology, and puzzle upon puzzle, all resolved in stunning fashion. Watch for this one in re-reruns, and if you haven’t seen the show since you were a little kid, give it a try again. (And if any of you watched them, this thread is open to a discussion of the Library episodes.)
