Post 2 of 3: Reactions to Doctor Who

[neadods]

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.

It seems to me that most American movies take place in New York City or LA. I noticed this after I went to the UK and had several people ask where I lived in relation to those two cities. ;)

I resorted to telling people I lived a two hour drive south of Canada.. straight in the middle. :)

UK locations tend to be London or some quaint little village with a massive pub.

I remember seeing an article in the paper when the Chicago-based horror movie hit the theaters basically saying "Whoo hoo! It's our turn now!"

What's starting to amuse me is that London or the village with the pub tends to be played by Cardiff, it seems, while both NY and LA are so often played by Vancouver.
