That Spoilery Point

So there is a point where talking about various TV shows and games and such gets a bit difficult because all of the things that make me giddy to the point of jumping up and down is filled with so many spoilers that stating anything about it will ruin any possible feelings of wanting to jump up and down in others.

This commonly happens in real life as well, where I am talking about The Walking Dead with someone until it is revealed that they haven't seen any of the episodes of the new season. Now, there are SO many spoilers in just the first episode of this new season that if I mention anything it will be ruined for the other person, even the other episodes spoil so much that was built up into last season's finale that I can't even express how awesome a certain character getting his leg munched on was. You know that last bit will probably sound very weird to anyone who hasn't either seen the show or know the comics or both, but as someone who has seen the comics of the Walking Dead let me just say that it was amazing to see them do it in the show. So lets talk about stuff without spoilers (kind of).

But yeah, Gotham is really awesome despite being batmanless, Agents of Shield is good with the stuff and the people and the hints at the things, Arrow is getting pretty good with all of the poking at the audience, I still think the Flash a bit 'meh' but thats me, and finally that Doctor Who finale was interesting.

I do want to comment on the finale or mid-season finale of Doctor Who, I mean it was great seeing that... person, especially with the... differences made to that character's... attributes. But I didn't really like seeing the... minor villains yet again for a season finale. Don't get me wrong I love those... beings, and they are cool and all it just feels like they have already been done, a lot. And for some reason it just didn't seem all that thrilling. I mean sure the premise of the... main villain's plan was sort of interesting but it didn't seem all that threatening, especially when you consider what they did the last time that character had a finale appearance. With the minor villains appearing, and then doing nothing for like 80% of the time, only to then in the end not do anything. Because I mean come on, that final choice the Doctor had to make, did anyone seriously think he would have made any other decision? Seriously, its the Doctor, he wiped out (or at least he thought he did, but whatever) his entire species just so he could wipe out a different species. Who needs an army when you are the Doctor? And if for some reason he wanted one, as can be seen in the Demon Run's storyline, he can just form one by plucking some of the people he has helped over the years out of their own timelines and sending them at his enemies.

Ah, I don't know. It just seems like ever since this new season of Doctor Who started the story quality got lowered relative to the special effects getting increased. I like the concept of the new Doctor, it just seems like he isn't being used to his fullest story telling potential and rather being used as a character around cool looking special effects. I mean geez, one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who is still the one where virtually the entire episode takes place in one small room that is dressed up like the inside of a vehicle, as the Doctor and the passengers of the vehicle have to figure out 'What was the sound?" while being broken down on the side of a road on a planet where if they leave the vehicle they will be incinerated. There were almost no special effects for the majority of that episode, but the acting and story telling was just so amazing that is in my opinion one of the greatest works of television!
