[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6160251, member: 1"] It's a kid's show. It's fine for kids. Every episode is different; that's the thing about the show. You go from comedy to thriller to horror to action to mystery in a spaceship, in Pompeii, on another planet, in Victorian times, in a London council estate, on Mars. And then you have (in modern Who) three different Doctors, who are very different in style. Well, four, since there's a new one now - we just don't know who! The beauty of the show, for me, is that next week could be [I]anything[/I]. It could be dark, it could be light. It could be serious, it could be funny. I could be any genre, and it could be set anywhere in time and space. And it does it all so joyously. There's no cynicism there, unlike every other show on TV since the 80s. It revels in its own optimism and sense of fun. Oh, and the special effects are a bit weak in that 2005 series, but these days they easily rival any comparable US show (in my opinion, it's better; they've gotten clever). I don't know how, given the political pressure the BBC is under to cut costs, but they do it. (Sabrina will be in here shortly to rant about how awful it, like everything else, is; I assume you're used to that now and have taken appropriate measures!) [/QUOTE]
