Doctor Who - Fear Her
Jun. 27th, 2006 11:49 pmI think I just don't like this season.
It's frustrating, because they have all the elements: a great actor for the Doctor, Rose, a Tardis... all you need for a fun time. But it appears a successful series is more than just the sum of its parts.
Or, wait, no... I know what part is wrong. Not as good as it could be.
THE WRITING.
Actually, fix the episode-writing and I'd be happy as a frosted cupcake.
I mean...I love Ten. I love his mannerisms (which are both nicer and meaner than Nine's, in different ways), and I love his exchanges with Rose, and I love his physicality. But I don't like his overall behavior in certain situations. Plot stuff, not personality stuff. Um... I'm not explaining this very well, but it comes back to writing. They keep putting him in the wrong situations and then making him behave in confusing ways.
( I've been avoiding spoilers for this whole season, but it hasn't been easy. Episode: Fear Her. )
