Poster for Doctor Who
I'll like this iteration of the show a lot more if it learns how to organically unwind. Right now, it's just wall-to-wall "WHOA-HO-HOOO!"s against wall-to-wall score (a feat only Murray Gold could do for Who, but it's still too much for him here), *very pointedly* punctuated by the slim bits of exposition, relationship-building, and "intrigue" it barely snatches out of the gale-force plot. The charisma of the actors keeps that roller coaster enjoyable, but they're at an 11 for so much of the episode that I don't think I yet know these characters when they're at a 5.
