"You look Time Lord."

An excerpt from my review of last night's episode:

Doctor Who is fantasy, and nothing else in it is realistic, so why the *naughtywords* does the sexism have to be? We can suspend disbelief long enough to believe that a guy can travel through time and space in a blue wooden box (which should be concrete anyway), and that every three years or so he completely changes size, shape, and personality but is still the same person, and that's fine, but a female pirate would be pushing it too far?

Now, the writer of this week's show is particularly bad for this sort of stuff, I admit, but it is a problem with the show in general, and indeed, television in general.

And I am genuinely interested in why some subjects are easy to suspend disbelief on and others aren't, at least in the minds of TV production crews and writers, and Who ones in particular.

Opinions?

I know I'm not the only one who's been enjoying the heck out of Season Six, and I thought it would be nice to have a post to talk about the things going on so far that we like.

Basic groundrules - keep it positive, and especially refrain from framing your praise by criticising something else, e.g. 'Matt Smith is soooo much better than every other Doctor, they all sucked', etc.

Please clearly mark any spoilers for future episodes, including episode trailers, casting information, interviews with writers, etc. All three aired episodes are fair game, as is unspoiled speculation.

( I will start! a quick list of things I'm enjoying so far )

Over to you!
