Since this is almost the half-way point of series 3 of Doctor Who, and they're taking a break next week, thought I'd sum up my thoughts so far. Also, there's a comment based on the promo for the rest of S3.
It's like I keep waiting for something. I think maybe I'm waiting to get excited about an episode, which just hasn't happened yet for me. There were so many episodes in S1 and S2 that I had utter love for, and when I first saw School Reunion, I nearly had a spaz meltdown over it.
But S3 to me so far has seemed like so much going through the motions - there's a sort of disconnect there. And I'm not sure if it's because it seems like *the Doctor* is sort of disconnected and going through the motions or not. But all the S1 and S2 elements and sometimes *actual lines* are not helping. At times it feels like we're in reduxland, and I get frustrated because I'm not sure WHY we're there.
This is all some sort of RTD master plan to make us empathize with the Doctor in this sort of repeating endlessness, isn't it? That we're supposed to get tired with him? Okay, maybe not.
I had a happy, fun, cheesy, scary time travel show. Where did it go? Maybe I just need to get my DW-goodness from the classic series and hope for a better S4. Because after seeing the promo for the rest of S3, looks like we're in for *more* tired/old/destroyed Doctor.
