I'm trying to reply without using huge typeface. But LJ won't let me. Something is wonky with the settings? (No it posted fine, just when I writing, odd.)
Anyhow, I haven't watched Doctor Who in ages. The last episode I saw was four weeks ago. So...I have no idea what the writer is dicussing, haven't seen the episode in question. Don't know what Zygones are. Haven't seen anything since the second episode. And deleted the two that came after it.
I've lost interest in Doctor Who for some reason. I've no idea why. (shrugs)
The post you read, was my attempt to figure it out. But I watch horror series - so it clearly isn't because it has elements of horror (ie. scary monsters, ghosts, aliens, robots, hands coming up at the soil, etc). (Still loving 'Vampire Diaries' which is definitely horror.) And it's not because it is directed towards kids, although the episodes I've seen seem a bit old for the kiddies, but then I was watching Star Trek, Space 1999, Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, and Night Gallery when I was 8. Nor is it because it is particularly violent. Although maybe the type of violence is turning me off at the moment? (Don't know.)
I think it's the set up? (Episodic, with them solving a problem each week and fighting with the Master?) I don't know. My attention wanders when it's on. It just doesn't captivate me any longer. But then, I was hardly a die hard fan to begin with, and I don't know why that is either. (It may be that I had no real access to it growing up. It wasn't available where I lived. This was the 1970s, we didn't get British programing, except on Public Broadcasting Channel. If you lived on the east coast of the US - you saw Doctor Who, if you lived in the midwest, you didn't.)
