New Doctor Who Discussion

[A Cousin]

New Doctor Who 6.3 - a pirate adventure! Who doesn't love a pirate adventure? Now this was one for the kids and the kid in all of us. The episode had a nice twist in it. Was scary but not too scary. And, well, I admit that Hugh Bonneville can give PF a very good run for his money in my book. Of course Mr AC takes the mickey at the end, "Oh, great. Now we have SPACE pirates!"

As for the series through-line, it did not make much of an appearance this episode. When it comes to the new Dr Who, I seem to prefer the one-off episodes with a lot of pastiche involved. It just seems what Dr Who should be. Not that 6.2 wasn't pastiche-alicious. I found that one to be great fun for that reason. That said, my kids have been enthralled with the idea of the little girl beginning to regenerate at the end of 6.2 but she did not make an appearance in this one. Mr AC's theory is that she is a regeneration of the Doctor who has gone back in time to stop his regeneration into her for some reason. (Mark my words, he says. )
