Radio Dead Air

Oh, dear.

So, Doctor Who has returned, and the 11th Doctor . . . is a tremendous dick.

The first five minutes of Matt Smith’s screen time consists of him more or less tormenting a little girl. The rest of his time on screen is equally as dickish, and attempts to make him likeable seem forced . . . mainly because they are. The rest of the episode’s plot would have been perfectly acceptable two or three seasons back, but given the established existence of Earth’s defenses (Torchwood’s great big fucking laser that shot down the spaceship in The Christmas Invasion? Hello?) it’s a bit difficult to believe that they wouldn’t have started blasting aliens.

In any case, if this is going to be the tone of the new Doctor I’m not going to be very fond of him. He’s not quite as bad as the 6th Doctor, but Christ is he thoughtless. It’s hard to explain without spoiling it, but . . . this guy’s a fucking asshole.

Do better, Moffat.
