Post 2 of 3: Reactions to Doctor Who

No plot talk, and not a lot to say either; there are moments of glee (Rory gets the best line EVER in "In all fairness, the universe did explode") and moments of "okay, now you're both setting up and paying off distant plot points."

But on the whole, I found it choppy and unsatisfying. Yes, I know it's an unfinished story; it's most likely not going to be resolved until the end of the season. The whole season, not the mini season.

And wow, is that a British view of America. I'm more amused than anything else, but the entire country isn't really vast, paranoid, and gun happy.

I have driven cross country over a dozen times and have to admit, that the expanses of nothing in the west half of the States is bloody gorgeous! But then I grew up in the Outback as a kid and find that kind of scenery comforting.
