Time of the Doctor (Spoiler free)
Dec. 29th, 2013 10:41 pmWell, I enjoyed it.
And the fact I start with that rather than my usual "Wow, that was awesome!" says a lot. Specifically it says my enthusiasm has been muted by the fact I'm clearly in the minority. Not just on the internet, either; my sister's been complaining about it since Christmas.
Which is why this post is spoiler-free. Normally, at this point I'd be raving about my favourite moments and why, and what bits I thought were really clever, and which bits I thought were flawed but not enough to spoil it. But I don't think I can do that in my normal stream-of-consciousness, barely-edited, isn't-Doctor-Who-wonderful style. If I were to start going on about why I liked it, it would have to be in the form of mounting a defence. And I don't have the energy for that right now. Maybe I will later.
