…and they fight crime
Watched the mid-season Doctor Who finale, “A Good Man Goes To War,” this weekend. I shall not spoil anything for you, though I will gloat that I know definitively who River Song really is, and it’s quite likely that you don’t.
It’s really quite a good “finale” to tide viewers over until the show comes back in September, even if it does kind of suffer from a bit of RTD-style series-end overkill, but unlike RTD bringing back every semi-important guest star from the previous few seasons for one line apiece, new showrunner Steven “Blink” Moffat fills out the spectacle with a whole mess of new guest stars who we’ve never seen before, each of whom offer up more compelling backstories in their first thirty seconds of screen time than Rose Tyler managed in three seasons.
I mean, I know I would drop everything to watch a weekly series about Madame Vastra, the sword-wielding Silurian and her trusty human assistant/lover Jenny, fighting crime on the soot-stained cobblestone streets of Victorian London.
Seriously, Moffat, get busy making that now. I might even be willing to wait a little while for new episodes of Sherlock.
Of course, I would also accept “Nurse Potato Head: the series” if that’s all you can manage.
