This week on
Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm watching the second episode of the
second season of Russell T Davies' second lap of
Doctor Who, and it's
written by the man himself. Here's some trivia for you:
Lux has the
shortest title in
Doctor Who's long history... almost.
42 has it
beat. But second shortest is still impressive.
We've got a new
director on this one, Amanda Brotchie. So that's some additional trivia. I don't
know anything about them to be honest, I don't really know anything about this
episode yet either. Well, except for one thing that I won't spoil here.
But
it does have me worried that this is going to be this season's
The Devil Chord. The one where the show just has fun at the expense of any shreds of reality
it still has left. I just get that feeling that RTD has moved beyond stressing
about plausibility. In fact he's even been cutting explanations out of the
script as who cares about how the magic works in a fantasy show for kids? Turn
you brain off, enjoy the ride, and
under no circumstances try to analyse
the episode scene by scene for the internet.
There will be
SPOILERS below as I'm going to write
the next bit after watching the episode!
