Ghost Whistler

September 01, 2012, 01:48:13 PM
The last season (both parts) was total pants with a nonsense metaplot.

The new season (5 eps) begins tonight.

The writeup for this episode actually looks pretty solid: the doctor's oldest foe (!) sends him on a mission to a place even the Daleks are afraid of!

I'm intrigued. Hopefully Steven Moffat has got his mojo back.
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

Tired of Dr. Who after the past few seasons. If I wanted to watch a corny soap opera, I'd watch General Hospital. Not that earlier seasons were great. Too many repetitive themes, sloppy writing, and stupid spectacle.

I'm hoping this new season pays off, but I'm not optimistic. Moffat seems to be best at one-offs.

OK. Wasn't bad and refreshed the series a bit. Still sick of the domestic issues -- I can't look at Amy and Rory anymore.

Give it till episode 5 brett and i have a feeling you wont have to deal with them again :)

Also theres technically more than 5 episodes in this season they just chose to split it again so we get 5 then the xmas ep(new companion joins) then next year the back 8 follwed by a ton of anniversary stuff and a full season in the fall(along side a movie length special on anniversary night).

I didn't care for 'Asylum', it felt like more of last season to me.

Full credit to the twist, of course, but other than that, meh.

Just watched it on demand and thought it was pretty good. But then i enjoyed last season, so maybe my tastes are out of sync with most on the subject.

In 10 years time, the Dr and his companions are all going to be toddlers.

Well, they already talk like toddlers half the time. I cringe when I hear nonsense like "timey wimey." Ugh. I used to think that Horns of Nimon was one of the most cringe-worthy episodes. Now, I have lots to choose from.

I can still look at them.

 She's smart and very easy on the eye and If I was gay I'd snuggle with Rory.

Beyond the title, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship was terrible.

Matt Smith's doctor is the worst yet. I've had enough of him completely.

Story wasn't so bad, but the execution. I agree with Ghost Whistler -- Matt Smith rubs me the wrong way. And was Rory's dad Peterson from Red Dwarf?
