Movie Night

BBC America’s Doctor Who returned to 2.6 million viewers when including its first two replays—a record-setting opener for the series. The debut airing of season eight’s “Deep Breath” featured star Peter Capaldi’s first full episode as the Doctor. During its 8 to 10 p.m. premiere Saturday night, Doctor Who was the most-watched show on cable and dominated Twitter for the day among TV shows. The numbers are despite the episode leaking online weeks in advance. (EW)

I went to the theatre showing last night and the theatre was only about 1/2 full which was disappointing. But not half as disappointing as the “prequel” which ended up being a Strax Sontar comically written report on the Doctor’s 12 past regenerations (ncluding The War Doctor). So that was a disappointment. I was hoping, for say, a Dinosaur. 🙂

But alas, not. And the After sow was the first episode of “Doctor Who Extra” that I had already seen via my “internet fairies”. 🙂

But seeing the episode on a big screen like that wasn’t a disappointment. And I love this episode so much more now after my unexpected bout with cognitive dissonance earlier on.
