Review of Doctor Who

Doctor Who (1996 TV Movie)
What's the Problem? (this might be a spoiler)
8 June 2000
Warning: Spoilers
Why is there controversy over The Doctor kissing his companion, his revelation that he is one half terran, and the car chases?

First the kiss. The Doctor had just regained his memory. That is a very emotional moment. Anyone might kiss the person next to them. The kiss probably didn't have anything romantic to it. And even if the kiss was romantic, so what? It has been said that The Doctor is asexual. Why would someone think that? Gallifraians marry. Leela married one. Also, The Doctor was Susan's Grandfather. That wasn't just a title Susan used or else why didn't Vicki or Zoe or Ace use it. Their Doctor's were all older. No, Susan was The Doctor's Granddaughter. And in order to have a granddaughter, you must have a son or daughter. Grace would certainly be someone The Doctor could like. She is a woman of science, is a lover of the arts and is interested in the betterment humankind. And besides all that, she is very attractive.

Second, the revelation that The Doctor is half terran. Makes sense to me. They have always been his favorite. When the Time Lords grounded him, where did he ground him? Earth. I would think it was his mother who was terran, probably English.

Finally, the car chases. It took place in San Francisco. They have cars there. If it had taken place in New York, subways would have been used. If it had taken place in Chicago, the trains would have been used. In San Francisco, cars are the norm. Ergo, the car chases.

I have been a fan of The Doctor as long as I can remember and throughly enjoyed this movie. The only problem is when I taped it off of TV, I missed the last 15 minutes. I can only assume The Doctor saved the world, yet again.
