doctor who recap
Russell T. Davies has dragged
Doctor Who, the BBC's veteran time-travel show, into the 1990s. His confessed influences include early
Buffy, but the revamped
Who has always reminded me of some other 90s shows, including
X-Files and, more and more, of
Lois and Clark, with its focus on a male-female couple and their romantic/sexual tension or lack thereof. It's too bad
Doctor Who remains about a decade behind the times, even as it keeps mining its own past. Spoilers for the season opener below the fold.
