I came late to the DOCTOR WHO bandwagon. I stayed away and only caught glimpses of the Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant seasons. It was not until the current Doctor came on board that I became a full-fledged fan. Matt Smith brings a whimsical personality to the role that makes the Doctor one of the most interesting characters on television.
I am sure I will get some hateful comments for saying this, but DOCTOR WHO fulfills all of the promises of genre television that I never got from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. I just never thought BUFFY was all that great. The new DOCTOR WHO shares a lot in common with BUFFY: both tackle genre stories with wit and humor, both feature a young and hip cast, and both have special effects that vary from great to incredibly hokey.
With that said, the new season of DOCTOR WHO will be starting up soon and there is a new trailer out courtesy of the BBC. Check it out below.
I think the awesomeness of that trailer can be summed up with these words: “Dinosaurs! On a spaceship!”
