On the other hand:Īnyway, according to some of the forums I read, not only was Amy’s character sexist, but Steven Moffat was sexist, and the new Doctor Who in general was sexist, and I thought, “Ooh, thems fightin’ words!” Ah, but fightin’ words that led to a great question: It’s like the old Zen koan, “Is Showgirls sexist?” On the one hand, you could read Showgirls as a criticism of the sex industry and how it destroys women. (Talk about sentences you never thought you would write!) Naturally, questions arose, the main one being, “Is this sexist?” Personally, I thought making Amy a kissogram was a pretty awesome choice that said more about her character and about her relationship to the Doctor than about the show’s feelings about women in general. Yes, the Doctor’s new Companion, for all intents, is a stripper. Mostly, there was a lot of conversation about Moffat’s decision to make Amy, the Eleventh Doc’s new Companion, a kissogram. Some didn’t like the new Doctor (incorrect), most hated the new theme song (so did I), and others were concerned that the plot was a retread of “Smith and Jones” and “The Girl in the Fireplace” (rightly so). Of course, not everyone had the same positive reaction I did. My two word review of the season opener: “Molto bene.” Everyone else: enjoy.ĭoctor Who just started up again on BBC America* with a new season, a new show-runner, new cast, new TARDIS… a new everything. If you haven’t caught up on seasons 1-4 yet, best ye stay out.
END OF TIME DOCTOR WHO OLD WOMAN FULL
Unlike Fenzel’s excellent Who piece, which can be understood by the uninitiated, this piece is full of SPOILERS. This piece will cover seasons 1-4 and the first episode of season 5 of the 2005 Who series. Lost is in reruns until tomorrow, which means I had an opportunity write a post of epic length about my latest sci-fi obsession.
