I have a very strong feeling that I've fallen out of love with Dr Who and RTD. Large scale, noisy climaxes are now just irritating me. (And before my Primeval friends point out the essential irony in that statement, I shall get my retaliation in first and state that that doesn't apply to my favourite fanfic!)

Just for once, I'd like to see an icy calm denouement.

I suspect I won't be watching for much longer, and that rather saddens me. I want to like it, I really do, but it just isn't doing anything for me any more. I also hate the fact that in the information over-load age, we know exactly when the Dr will be changing and into whom. I used to prefer the element of surprise. But I suspect my problem is that I haven't actually liked a Dr since Jon Pertwee until the news guys came along. I did like Ecclestone, and I think Tennant is OK, but I doubt I'll stick around for the next one.
