Yes, and that's high praise, compared to the last ten years of Doctor Who. I won't spoil it, but I'd advise everyone reading this to watch the new episode. Although I have to ask - what's with David Tennant's hair?
But in all fairness, I was worried that even "bring back Russell T Davies and David Tennant and Catherine Tate and write a story based on a classic comic" wouldn't be a solution to the decade of badly misguided attempts to make Doctor Who, so I was prepared to be disappointed. But actually, it was pretty cool. Let's see if they can use this as a template for the future!
For want of anything more productive to do with my time, I've been re-watching my way through the entire run of Regular Show for the last few months. And really, there could never be a more perfect ending to a series than the final montage. I defy anyone to watch this without a tear in their eye...
Well, possibly you do need to know something about the characters and settings to get the full effect, but even so, I'm sure everyone finds it impossibly beautiful, right?
I feel it's also worth pointing out that Hi-Five Ghost is my absolute favourite character (closely followed by Eileen and Rigby), which might say something about how I see my role in life as being that of a sidekick. Now, I'm aware that there are people in the world - quite a lot of them, indeed - who don't think of me in that way at all, and would think it downright weird if I say I've always been a smaller best friend to some or other larger and more dominant personality, floating alongside them and high-fiving where appropriate, but I still do feel that that's the position I always automatically slide into at every opportunity, and certainly the kind of character in a well-written show like Regular Show who I'll always most empathise with. It's really got me thinking about how realistic my self-perception actually is...
See, what other comedy cartoon show can give you a tear-jerking finale and a healthy dose of psychoanalytical prompting? It's genius, I tell you.
