This is the last Doctor Who post, I promise.
Sci-fi channel is running a Doctor Who "mini-marathon." Please ignore it, if you weren't already planning to do so.
The Doctor Who Series 1 DVD will be available on July 4. I know you didn't ask, but yes it is available on Netflix.
So far, Series 2 is far superior to Series 1. Maybe I'm overstating it a bit.
But you can see for yourself:
Episode 13
Well here we are: An old enemy, a fateful decision, a deus ex machina, an end (of sorts) and a new beginning.
If you've been wating all this time to see "bad wolf" revealed... Um well, sorry. It's sort of lame. Actually, the entire conflict resolution portion of this episode is a disapointment. But, the denouement is good. I'm always up for a good denouement.
Also, I think the Doctor makes the wrong choice at the end. In spite of the moral implications, there were legitimate reasons for him to do what he was prepared to do. But, when the stroke of a Tv writer's pen can save the day, moral dilemmas become so easy to avoid.
Episode 12
"My masters, they fear the Doctor."
So, we've been here before. 100 years after the events of The Long Game, Satelite 5 has become the Game Station. But there's more to this story than a couple of reality tv show parodies. Everything in the first season has been leading up to this two-part finale.
