but yeah, the new Doctor Who, very cool. I actually like the retro
baddies, but that's just me.

There is a luddite feel to the themes; hamfisted anti immortality
crap, to be sure, except the doctor of course.

I often feel like the stories have been written by authors who don't
actually like sci-fi, and aren't writing sci-fi, kind of anti tech
people, and they've just been dressed in sci fi clothing at the last
moment.
