Am I supposed to believe that an astoundingly brilliant woman who is incredibly respected in academic circles and was raised by witches refuses to believe anything supernatural even when unexplained things keep happening around her that are so ridiculously weird that absolutely no one would dismiss them? Add to her cluelessness an actress who almost literally acts like Alicia Silverstone from Clueless - hair flips and all - and I'm so ridiculously disappointed.

The thing is, the sets are amazing, the rest of the cast is pretty good from what I can tell, and it even has River Song in it. The premise is a ton of fun and I want to see it pay off, but I'm not sure I can stand sticking around for it. One scene will be fun and intriguing and really entertaining and then the next scene (usually involving the main character) will be so mind numbingly dumb or contrived or WB-drama-esque that it makes me want to turn it off.

I can't do this to myself. I'm sure a lot of people will like this the way they like cheap wine and romance novels.

Edit I continued to watch it while muted, and so far it is miles better - except for the lead. Now she just feels like a lame version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer falling for Angel. Oh, that's where I've seen this before...! Lol.
