Goblins in Doctor Who
Goblins in Doctor Who
Anyone catch the recent Doctor Who episode - The Church on Ruby Road?
I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but Goblins feature strongly.
It was pretty good, as a who fan I hope this new doctor has the writing to back him up, I like him already, I just don't want it to be like the last doctor, the writing for her time wasn't all that good, and it makes it hard for me watch it.
I think one thing Russell T Davies has cemented in returning is that the show is ok to be fun and casual. The past several years have often lost this core element.
Doctor Who is inherently a little silly, and it's on a smaller TV show budget than the expensive shows of HBO etc, and if it takes things too seriously, everything becomes hard to like because the cracks show very clearly. When the show is being fun and casual, it can still have serious moments which hit hard because it's almost unexpected for the genre. The past decade of who has been serious way more than necessary and honestly I'm glad we get a goblin musical episode.
It's one of the best parts of the writing for tenant imo, the balance between grimness, hope, and silliness
Oh yeah, I was so happy when I saw he was the writer on the specials.
