What I have been watching

So, back in the saddle again and back to try to post regularly. So here is a post about what I have been watching the past four weeks. The first two weeks of my vacation was very rainy, so I watched more shows than I usually do on my vacation.

Husband and I have finished watching New Who. I’m happy to say that he likes it (he found the Classics utterly boring) and I enjoyed re-watching it. I’m still a bit divided about the last season, though. I do like Peter Capaldi a lot and I really enjoyed him learning to relate to people again. I found him rather harsh when I saw it first as I kept thinking that he ought to be happier, after all he had just learned that Gallifrey wasn’t destroyed. Then I remembered that even if it was just two episodes for us, for the Doctor there had been many years when he was stuck on Trenzalore. I imagine the immediate joy could very well turn into apprehension as exciting things sometimes do when it takes too long to realise them. Also, eleven really though he was on his last life and had probably learned to accept that he was going to die for good. So in a sense Twelve is a newborn, suddenly landing in a life he hadn’t thought he was going to get. I also really enjoyed his and Clara’s relationship. And I enjoyed Missy a lot and was very pleased with myself as I pegged her for the Master as soon as she called the Doctor “my boyfriend” in the first episode.
