Rogue

Dammit, I was doing so well there for a bit. Here I am again, trying to catch up before I get even further behind.

Someone said ‘Rogue’ was a good example of Who written by people who grew up with “new” Who, and I think that’s right. Also, side-note, how on earth are we now up to 20 years of “new” who? Why am I still calling it “new”? I’m so old.

Rant: I’m not exactly sure how the Doctor persuaded Rogue that he wasn’t an evil shapeshifter by showing him that he had... a lot of faces. I feel like something was missing here that would both make sense, and perhaps also raise the Doctor/Rogue connection a bit higher than the level it hit for me, which was... we’re both very hot, interesting, and in the same episode, so obviously, we’re in love now.

Maybe I’m just less taken with Jonathan Groff because I’m still kind of mad with him for not being Hugo Weaving.^[1]

Rave: This was a lot of fun. I like a bit of joyful Who, and reservations aside, this was that. And Ruby got to be clever, which was a bonus.

1. I am aware that I should know about him from other things, but shamefully, I have not seen those things. ↩︎
