The Anti-Family Candidate
There’s not much one can say about this, other than McSame really doesn’t care about reuniting soldiers with their families. How much more evidence is needed to demonstrate that, despite his experiences as a prisoner of war, he views the military with about as much regard as the $1.99 pack of toy soldiers that used to be advertised on the back of comic books.
It’s a Good Thing No One Had Heard of Heroin Chic Yet…
This is an interesting tribute to the world’s greatest heroine:
The theme remix gets annoying, but it’s easy to forget while watching one of the hottest women alive, then or now. How wonderful this was during a time women were allowed to have a figure. It makes her all the more beautiful.
It also reminds me that the search for a new actress to fill the role in any upcoming movie that may come about will ultimately be unsatisfying at best. Not only is the lovely Lynda Carter the only woman strongly identified with the role (more so than any other actor or actress with a super hero role), she is the only actress I can think of that can successfully portray the unique mix of qualities required. Wonder Woman is a mix of confidence and serenity, determination and wisdom, topped off with just the right amount of naïveté about her current situation. She is a patriot in the way that Superman or Captain America never were. She is the patriot of America’s future; she envisions it being even more free and more equal than what she defends now.
But, if anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them.
Is There a Doctor in the Library?
Actually there are two. THE Doctor meets Dr. Elizabeth Corday Greene, widow of Dr. Mark Greene, who’s previous experience with action was watching the emergency room at County General get shot up every other week. The weeks it wasn’t getting shot up, the doctors were either screwing each other (metaphorically and literally), improperly diagnosing most of their patients, or getting kidnapped. Of course, this isn’t actually the good Dr. Corday. Rather, the lovely Alex Kingston portrays Professor River Song, an archeologist. Not only does Professor Song lack the ten foot pole up her ass that plagues Dr. Daniel Goodman of Bones first season, but she appears more confident and is obviously enjoying herself at least a thousand times more than as Dr. Corday. Kudos to you Ms. Kingston. You go girl!
When viewed as a whole, this is a rather trippy and somewhat sinister episode. After all, this silent library seems to exist in the mind of a young girl. Not just any young girl, but one undergoing therapy. On top of all that her creepy therapist tells her that the nightmares are real and the real world is just a dream. Assuming team Davies/Moffett don’t come up with something lame in part two, this could be interesting. Did The Doctor land inside someone’s head, kind of like his landing inside an electronic device wasy back when during the Perwee adventure “Carnival of Monsters”? Is the little girl actually a sentient security camera? Why am I so sure the explanation will be much lamer than this?
There’s even an attempt at explaining everyone’s fear of the dark. And it’s that apparently microscopic pirannah like things inhabit the shadows ready to strip the flesh off your bones in a microsecond. A functional plot device, even if it poorly rips off the premise of the Jeffrey Combs tour de force “From Beyond”. It does keep everyone on their toes, although the animated corpse repeating the same phrase over and over again (”Hey, who turned out the lights?”) is an obvious recycling of the “Are you my mummy?” child from the first season’s “The Empty Child”. It does give David Tennant his usual chance to display his enormous… energy supply.
Many of the two parters have a great first episode and a fairly big letdown in the conclusion. I’m hoping this doesn’t happen here.
