Now that we're past the all crucial premiere, I'm starting to get more into the newness of things. It's kind of fun, re-discovering the show over again. What works, what doesn't. At the same time, the show, the heart of the show, is still there.
I liked that the premise of this episode is sort of steeped in the continuity of the show. It was established during Four's era that the Earth got burnt up in the 29th century and the humans had to abandon Earth. Well, they abandoned it for a bit, but good thing Nerva Beacon was floating around in orbit. But yeah, humans out in the stars because their home is gone. The idea of living your life on this ship, never touching solid ground, is really powerful. Clearly on Starship UK, the confined living has intensified everything that makes Britain Britain. It's fun to think other countries made their own ships and headed for the stars. Ooh, there could be a Starship Canada floating around out there!
( Spoilers for Doctor Who 5x02, The Beast Below )
I'm sad I'm missing out on new Doctor Who next week due to being vacation. I didn't realize Space will be two weeks behind in showing the new episodes. Seems like standard policy for when the show airs overseas. It has to be a few weeks behind. I salute you people who watch the show on BBC America or Space. Your will power is greater than mine. :-)
