Re: Doctor Who - the positive thoughts

[personal profile] othellia 2014-07-14 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I actually liked Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, A Town Called Mercy, Rings of Akhaten, Hide, and Journey to the Center of the TARDIS for the most part.

I think my main problem with the show right now, pushing Moffat thoughts to the side, is that the constant need to be building to something (in this past season, it was Clara's "mystery") when that something is inevitably a let down, kind of tarnishes the rest of the episodes. And I'm saying that in this positive thread, because I realized I actually do like a lot of the individual eps.

I like them going on adventures and having fun times and hugging at the end of the day. Sometimes something sad happens, but it's dealt with appropriately. See: Kahler-Jex's sacrifice in A Town Called Mercy vs Amy & Rory's sudden divorce/get back together in Asylum of the Daleks. I loved the former. I cried for the former. I remembered what drew me to the show in the first place for the former.

I went "oh... okay" for the later. Call it inability to understand timey-wimey or shoddy writing, but anything that's out of order is where the series falls flat for me (River, the Patternost Gang, Clara's mystery, the plot of season six) and the stuff that's played straight is pretty damn enjoyable (most of season five, Doctor's Wife, Girl Who Waited, the God Complex, the episodes I mentioned for season seven).

TBH, my thoughts for the show are just so incredibly mixed right now. It's really hard to separate the positive from the negative. And I think I still do like it overall, just the non-Moffat episodes, so I'm looking forward to those.
