Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet
Jun. 8th, 2006 03:23 amSometimes, the sheer extent to which we are all viewing our own versions of television shows boggles my mind. I've just been reading a lot of various meta recently, and I just constantly find myself thinking, "Seriously, does the episode magically warp when it gets to my screen? Because I can only see what these people say is obvious if I stand on my head while quoting lines from The Life of Brian (chiefly, the ones about the cheesemakers)."
Which is to say -- I love Rose Tyler (I also love Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii. And Buffy Summers. And Joey Potter, thank you very much.). Except for (what I continue to feel was) the colossal misstep of The Girl in the Fireplace (if an episode only works completely divorced from the context of the show, it is not a good episode of that show, regardless of it being well-done in general), I have been vastly enjoying the second (twenty-eighth) series of Doctor Who.
