The Long View

Something to consider here in the midst of all the craziness in the past week…

If you include Rose (which if you’re Canadian is easy to do since it doesn’t start til Tuesday) then between now and 2006 we will be getting 27 new episodes of Doctor Who. 27 new episodes made for TV. 27 forty-five minute episodes.

27 episodes is the the same length (more or less) as 54 ‘classic’ series episodes.

The loss of the lead actor has I think made many more obsessed with the trees than the forest, and it’s a very impressive forest indeed.

Think about it. 27 new episodes by the same production team over the next two years. That, as the Ninth Doctor might say, is “fantastic”.

No, I don’t think many people forgot that at all it doesn’t mean that we should ignore events that have occured.

We should not ignore events that have occured but we should wait until we have all the facts before passing judgement on them.
