I should be thrilled about today's episode of Who, but right now, I feel that this and the two regeneration specials are simply things to be gotten over with before the fun begins again.
I hear from comments in another post that he really did move to California. I'm just nasty enough to look forward to the reaction when he tries to pitch an angstfest as a holiday special here. Much less try to get into racial issues.
Ugh. It takes a special sort of Brit to survive L.A. (And that's even if you do make the big time: for others aspiring thither it's even worse.) I hope it forces RTD to raise his game, but I'm not optimistic.

Market forces are probably going to force him to at least change his game; that Torchwood was a huge hit on a tiny cable channel that most people don't even get isn't going to take him far; that he oversaw a huge hit in another country will only get him marginally further. Sooner or later, he's going to have to deal with the fact that American entertainment is predominately tilted towards the upbeat and inspirational.
IOW, snuffing kids onscreen will NEVER play in Peoria!
