Pocky Watches Things on Painkillers, Part 1 - Doctor Who
First day of post-op recovery consisted of napping, watching the latest episode of Megaforce, of course, and then a Doctor Who marathon. I was told to start with the Ninth Doctor, so that is where I started, and burned through all thirteen episodes today.
Pain Level: 3.5 - 4
Number of Hydrocodones Consumed: 3
Overall entertainment Level: 7
Comments: Nobody does it quite like the Brits, do they? This show is definitely smoking a great deal of RJ's weed, what with the farting aliens and gas mask zombies and homicidal reality show robots and living spaceships and all, but that certainly isn't a bad thing. I can see why so many people in my life enjoy the series as much as they do. The dialogue is flawless, the soundtrack is stellar, and there seems to be a well-balanced mix of angst and WTF-British-comedy going on at all times. And I am utterly convinced that the Doctor, Jack, and Rose had a three-way between episodes 10 and 11. I could have done without Rose's whiny dippy boyfriend, though. He strikes me as a fairly pointless character. But Jack getting repeatedly stripped naked was a nice touch.
All in all, I don't imagine I'll be joining the fandom anytime soon, but it's definitely a good watch.
