Doctor Who Special Rates A Huge Meh, But Paul McGann Was On The Tee Vee

The Dr. Who special was pretty awful.  I had no use for Matt Smith, but Jenna Coleman has really been getting better, and neither of them had much to do in the show.  I was pretty stoked to see the Paul McGann webisode at the beginning of the 50th repeat, though; that was cool.  Probably not the opening you expected.  Long before last night, we had seen way too many Dr. Who stories where the Doctor faces all the enemies at once but nothing too interesting happens.  It's past time to see the Doctor in stories that aren't about titanic existential battles, and instead are compelling and entertaining stories on a more believable scale.  Maybe the new guy is up to it in ways Matt Smith never could have been, and we will get some Dr. Who that is not so annoying and dumb.
