Doctor Who Review

In the old series Dr Who often flowed with the times . the 1st Dr was in many historical eras while the 2nd opened up more to aliens . The 3rd Dr was a defender of the Earth and the 4th transcended nicely from planet defender to space traveler to universe defender.and so forth and so on . Thus the cannon of the old Dr was established . he was the anti-hero ,rebelling against authority to do what was right moral and just . The new series comes along and skillfully changes the entire dynamics . Where as companions were of minimal use and usually caused more problems in the classic episodes in the new series they are the key to many of his victories . Where as the Time Lords used to keep the Dr in check , the constraints are now off of him and he projects a sense of authority that he once rebelled against .
bottom line is the newly renovated series is tied in nicely with the old series but in a fresh new way that makes this extremely fun and enjoyable to watch.
