Doctor Who is back

[mtbc]

Continuing the topic of watching science fiction on television, this afternoon I got around to seeing the new Doctor Who. I came in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised: there was more science fiction content than silliness or tedious distraction. Judging by some episodes from recent seasons, it could have been so much worse. Not only was there a reasonable plot, not overdramatic, but we also got a brief glimpse of some Zbiryynaf.

(An aside: yes, it's Easter, I did also watch the service from Hereford Cathedral!)
