I Review An Episode of Doctor Who

I have watched one whole episode of THE GREATEST SHOW THAT WAS, IS AND EVER SHALL BE (or so I've been told). And since this is America, that makes me more than qualified to render an opinion on this, and many other tangentially related, topics.

The episode I watched was "Rose" from 2005 and featured the Doctor in the pimping leather jacket. Speaking of pimping, the first 10 minutes or so reminded me of a bad porn, minus the porn, with the lighting, mood and scene set up. Plus, the chick had porn actress lips.

Bow chicka wow wow

If you've seen 5 minutes of porn,and I'm betting all of you have, you know what I'm talking about. It's impossible to look at them and not wonder where they've been or why they might be so puffy. Anyways, I've always been intrigued about how you're supposed to watch this show since it's been airing since 1788 or something like that. In my family, if you miss the first five minutes of a movie, you're screwed and you may as well kill yourself instead of trying to muddle through without those pivotal opening minutes. So how in the bloody hell (see what I did there?) are you supposed to just pick this show up at any point and know what's going on. I was very pleased with how things were explained without being heavy handed and pedantic or treating the viewer like they were totally brain dead, like most American shows do.

Do you see the moron?

I'm not going to discuss the actual story, there's no need to. One thing I do know is that if you watch this show, you really watch this show and can wax poetic on every single, minute detail of everything ever related to it. That dustbin that ate the nice bloke? A true fan can tell you every piece of rubbish that was ever deposited in it. No fooling.

Typical Doctor Who Fan

The acting was cheesy, slightly above bad porn level, but not unbearable. The effects were cheesy, which I've been told are part of the charm of the show and a BBC thing. 

SPOILER ALERT! The Doctor gets a new TARDIS next season.

Overall, I would rate the show as tolerable and something I could watch again and actually pay attention to, sorta. In every day terms, that would be better than Kate + 8 but not as good as iCarly.
