I just watched the new Doctor Who. If you’re out of the loop, this was the first episode with the new Doctor, played by Matt Smith, since beloved David Tennant decided to leave the show. David Tennant was, like, the PERFECT Doctor. Of course, I’d been upset when 9 was leaving and we moved onto 10, and THAT worked out, but now I look at 9 and think Psh, why did I care about him again? Every time I expect the writers of Doctor Who to disappoint, they don’t. They not only don’t disappoint, but they wow me. They go so far beyond not disappointing, I don’t know why I ever doubt them.<\/p>\n
Well, getting a new Doctor is a big deal, and I may have said some rude things about Matt Smith’s giant forehead. I may have doubted him… a lot. Not only could I not believe I’d ever love another Doctor, but, well, I certainly couldn’t like him<\/em>. And that stupid brown suit and bow tie they put him in? BARF. AND AND AND the lead writer left the show!<\/p>\n Well, another awesome writer took over (Steven Moffat, the one who wrote Blink and The Girl in the Fireplace, some of my fave episodes), so that was a relief. The writing on the new episode was amazing. It was creepy, hilarious, and full of adventure… and I just sat there in awe the whole time. (I can’t think of the right words to describe the feeling you get when watching Doctor Who, but hopefully you know what I mean.) And Matt Smith did an excellent job. I expected to hate him, and at the least still dislike him. But I not only didn’t hate him, he was so endearing and funny and “just right,” that I’m glad they picked him. I can’t wait to see more of his adventures as the Doctor!<\/p>\n So all the changes they made to the show? Not awful at all. I might possibly even call them improvements. I was so sure I’d be horribly disappointed and that my heart would be broken and never heal. And instead… I think it’s awesome and everything’s going to be okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just watched the new Doctor Who.
