new doctor who? who cares?

this new doctor who is really just lame.  i don't know what it is exactly.  i liked moffat's writing for doctor who under rtd, especially the empty child/doctor dances episode, but now that he's the showrunner, the whole exercise seems tedious and less important than previously.  matt smith doesn't help either; he's almost weightless, and when compared to david tennant, that's really quite a feat.  alex kingston is really chewing the scenery, but she's also wasted at this point, with even less chemistry with smith than with tennant.  she would have been awesome with eccleston, but he fancies himself an actual actor or something, so fuck him.  the entire exercise is lifeless with this crew.  nobody's gonna care when rory gets wasted.  it'll be doing him a favor.  perhaps the show will survive moffat's reign of terror; it's been through worse, i guess.
