trailer break: ‘Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead’

Fri, Apr 03, 2009

Take a break from work: watch a TV trailer…

Woo-hoo! New Doctor Who!

Ummm, I’m getting a strong vibe of “Midnight” off this: stuck on a bus with a bunch of strangers in the middle of nowhere, with a deadly environment outside? I hope it’s gonna be more than that.

But anyway: more Doctor Who! Hoorah!

I wanna know: Why is the Doctor on a bus? Where is he going? Is he visiting someone? Is he dropping in to UNIT to annoy them? Is he playing tourist somewhere? (You know, we have those red double-decker buses in New York, too: they use them for squiring sightseers around.)

Hey, are those giant sperm flying through the air toward the bus? Weird.

Still: Doctor Who is back! Just a little over a week to wait…

Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead debuts on BBC1 on April 12; the gods only know when it will air in the U.S. But who’s waiting for it to air?

(thanks to Blake for point this out)

“I’m gonna get you home, I promise.”

How much do you want to bet that the person he says that to dies?

Who’s going to wait for it to air over here? I’m sure not. Can’t wait for my first Dr. Who fix in months.

My first impression was Pitch Black too and it has stuck. Michelle Ryan is even starting to blend into Claudia Black in my mind for some reason. Weird. But good- I loved Pitch Black. It’s a premise that still has some life left in it if it’s done well.

I’m excited. Part of me wants it to take longer to come so that I don’t have to wait so long before December. Part of me won’t last another week.

I thought “Midnight” too – though with extra outside locations to boot. Looks good, though; and I thought “Midnight” was one of the best episodes of last season so something vaguely similar wouldn’t bother me too much.
