Rewatching Doctor Who: The Rebel Flesh / Almost People / A Good Man Goes To War / Let's Kill Hitler

I'm continuing my Matt Smith era rewatch and just got through this batch of episodes, and thought I'd jot down some quick thoughts. Putting them in spoiler space, because they are spoilery for anyone who hasn't seen these, or the rest of that year's episodes.

Spoilers... )

One thing I'm feeling on rewatch is that New Who series 6 was largely a series split between superb episodes and others that are often poor. When it's brilliant it's phenomenal, with numerous all-time classics in there. And we're not thankfully done with them yet ... But when it's bad it's pretty awful. Which is frustrating. But overall I am enjoying rewatching. And especially intrigued when rewatching things produces responses different from what I remembered from before.

Following on from my earlier post about Robin of Sherwood I'll be posting some more early fandom musings here. Likely topics include - but are not limited to - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Blake's 7, Sapphire & Steel, Vincent Price / Roger Corman movies, Knightmare, ABBA and more. All musings on some of my early - pre adult - fandom experiences.
