And to bring things back on topic (because I am such a rebel), finally after many years of being told I should, I have begun watching the first season of the new Doctor Who series. I guess it is okay, but as someone who has never seen anything Doctor Who before and has no attachments to it, it has a really high cheese factor and is obvious it was really made to appeal to kids falling somewhere in the 10-17 demograph. The Aliens of London/World War Three two parter was immensely painful to watch with all of its infantile fart gags, not to mention the intentionally over the top goofy looking alien villians. When I was twelve I may very well have loved this show, but I really don't think it is something I could get into in adulthood. Glad I gave it a shot though.

It gets much better after Dalek. The cheese factor is still there, but it drops off significantly with Matt Smith's Doctor (current season).

Trust me when I say that Aliens of London/World War Three is the cheesiest episode of the revived series, with the possible exceptions of Love & Monsters and The Unicorn and the Wasp.

I urge you to finish Series 1. If you don't want to watch all of it, then please watch these episodes before you give up:

- Dalek (somewhat cheesy, but much less cheesy than almost any other Dalek episode)
- Father's Day
- The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances (my all-time favorite DW episode[s], VERY low on cheese)
