Dr Who Season 6 is now available through Netflix DVD. The other seasons
are on instant Netflix. This is a terrific ride. The season starts
with Doctor Who's Death, then goes back and explains things on the road
to this event. There are some incredible turns in the general plot, for
example we see the Doctor's marriage to River Song, discover who are
her parents, and are introduced to the "Silence." The Silence are evil
creatures who you don't remember when you are not looking at them. They
are like a great conspiracy, manipulating things without anyone knowing
about them. They are still around at the end, and it is the Silence
who have decided the Doctor must die.
This series has a greater use of poetry which is highly effective. It
also has a way of bringing back old characters. In this case the
characters are often old nemesis who now owe the Doctor. This is
especially true with the kidnapping of Amy and Rorie's baby girl. She
was conceived in the TARDIS which causes her to have time lord
characteristics.
This is a show you have to see. I watched Doctor Who as a youth,
staying up late to watch it on PBS. The plots and stories were fun
then, but the special effects were always lacking. That is no longer a
problem, and the stories have just gotten more intriguing. I LIKE
DOCTOR WHO.
