Interesting piece by Rob Salem in today's Toronto Star...http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/article/796106--the-new-doctor-is-in
... New Doctor Matt Smith is getting some warm reviews, already; just three episodes have been aired thus far with the new kid on the block. There is another new guy on of importance: Stephen Moffat has replaced Russell T. Davies as the series' executive producer. Hopefully the show will be more appealing for me. Friend Neil assures me that Moffat is more 'charmed' by the original Doctor Who series.
Even though I liked actors Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant (who Doctored the years 2005-09), I found that the scripting so often failed them. The producers were so in love with the technology available for production today that they... to use the British expression, "wanked". Please, no more light-beam-style optical effects coming out of orbs, radar arrays, eyes, noses, mouths... No more.
And no more phony orchestral swells and crescendos at the end of every episode (accompanying the light effects I mention above).
Story, story, story!
