I just discovered my DVR failed to record Doctor Who last night. I'll have to wait another week to watch "The Almost People." I tried to avoid spoilers, but still stumbled across some pretty massive ones. I'm not sure how I feel about what the poster revealed, which I suppose is good, because I'd like to judge it for myself when I finally get to see it.

Oh I think you just nailed what the show's been lacking. I always thought it was missing characterization (other than Rory who I think has been a bit more developed) but yeah, Amy seems to be missing something. Every once in a while I see a glimpse of something more but yeah, I just don't relate to her.

Also CE and DT are super charismatic and let's face it, their characters were costumed to accentuate that they are basically a couple of hotties. I think a choice was made to purposely not costume MS that way. Although, I think when they let him "be the Doctor" he can be very charismatic. Until recently, I don't think they gave him many opportunties to really dig into the role and show the audience what he can do.

I 100% agree with you Doctor who, no matter the Doctor, is usually better than most science fiction on television, especially US scifi type shows. Of course, I fell in love with DW as a child so I might be a tad prejudiced. I loved Four and Romana - I was seriuosly heart broken when Four regenerated into Five.

Oh me too. I was heartbroken about the regeneration into Five as well!!!!

And so true on the Amy situation... she just has not been given a personality except sarcastic, and even that isn't very highly developed. Yeah on Rory... perfect. And poor old Eleven just only has Benny Hill routines or nothing!

Annisag, god I hope it wasn't me who you read the spoilers through. I was hoping that I sent out enough warnings!!!! But now I have the guilts!

"Annisag, god I hope it wasn't me who you read the spoilers through."

Nope! Without exception, everyone on my friends page posted adequate warnings ahead of any discussion about the episodes. I actually stumbled across the spoilers in a community where I didn't expect to be spoiled. The poster did put a warning, but it was midsentence and followed by the spoiler in bold type. My eyes jumped straight to the spoiler.

Also, BBCAmerica posted a quiz this morning on Facebook about which returning character in the latest episode (man, I hope it wasn't the finale they were talking about, because that hasn't even aired yet) we liked the best, so now I'm even more in the know.
