So they ditched the nudey and umpty bumpty, not quite as quickly and as completely as the notorious Stargate SG1 but for the most part it's gone. The incidents that remain seem a bit like, cue the naked ladies, but it was always a bit incongruous. I can't quite get over how soapy the whole thing feels, you find yourself engaged in a story line, to find it ditched for four episodes; by the time it resurfaces, it's a case of, oh yeah I forgot Jake Plod was about to be eaten by snowmen.
There's something that's been bothering me though, something that no one else seems to have noticed but was apparent right from the first episode, here's the opening title music.
Here's the opening title from another show.
You might notice that the second clip is not consistent with the details on the continuity board.
So I caught my first episode of Game of Thrones the other day, everything was proceeding according to expectation when quite unexpectedly, a pair of bristols entered the drama, as an attractive lady got her kit off. Right okay, it's the first episode, perhaps this is to tickle some media attention. Then I get to the eh hem, climax of the premier, uh right, what's going on here? So I watches the second episode, oh my god! So exactly when did the space cadets and ye olde adventurers, start to insist that porn be sprinkled intermittently through their tv entertainment? Now I admit, I'm slightly out of touch with television trends but it was a mite alarming to see how things have developed. Anyone got any insights they'd like to share over the latest series of Doctor Who, just so I'm forewarned.
