his story contains some spoilers from "Doctor Who" that have aired in the United Kingdom, but not yet in the United States.
The United States hasn't seen it yet, but the recent two-parter of "Doctor Who" that aired on BBC featured the Weeping Angels, the characters created by new showrunner Steven Moffat during "Doctor Who's" third season in the popular and Airlock Alpha Portal Award-winning episode "Blink."
This weekend, vampires will invade the British airing of the series, which has some parents wondering: Is "Doctor Who" getting too scary for kids?
The series has always been geared for a family audience, with the classic series adding the caveat that it should be scary. Some of those scares were replaced with higher drama and action when Russell T. Davies revived "Doctor Who" in 2005. But now that he has departed and Moffat has taken over, the scares are back, according to The Daily Mail.
Parents have taken to the Internet, of course, to express their concerns. One viewer said she would've had the "living daylights scared" out of her if she were watching it at 10 years old. Another thought children might not be as scared of moving statues because they've become more desensitized to such things, according to the British njavascript:void(0);ewspaper.
However, more complaints seem to be coming in not from the scares, but some of the sexualization.
Some parents aren't happy about Karen Gillan's attire as Amy Pond, The Doctor's companion, and were even less happy about Pond's efforts to seduce Matt Smith's Doctor in a recent episode, reminding producers that there's no sex in the Tardis.
"Many children look up to 'Doctor Who,' so what message are you sending out to young girls and boys?" One viewer asked, according to The Daily Mail. "Why not change the record and bring in intelligent, classy women?"
The Doc,new Partner is very hot.I have seen her in some let's say Reveling cloths. And she a real Red head,I guess it will satisfy some of the LUST of some of the people here.
Sorry this just came in late:
This story contains spoilers.
"Doctor Who" gets a little raunchy towards the end of its fifth episode, with Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) literally throwing herself at The Doctor (Matt Smith) on the night before her wedding.
And a few weeks later, the character will be pregnant.
Don't panic, The Doctor is not the father ... but there is still a question of who is. Over the last couple weeks, there have been reports that the series would feature a pregnancy plot and that has recently been confirmed as being an episode set five years in Pond's future.
As like all seasons of the show, the companion's family will feature heavily in the developing story and the upcoming "Vampires of Venice" will bring Amy's fiancé, Rory (Arthur Darvill), on a time travelling adventure of his own. Of course, the whole reason for bringing him onboard the Tardis is to serve as something of a cold shower for Amy.
"Viewers will have to wait and see how the pregnancy came about," a source told The Mirror newspaper. "But as always with Doctor Who, things are not always as they appear."
However, even Darvill doesn't know if he is the father.
“The scripts I read bore very little relation to the ones that were finally produced," he told Wales Online. "They changed all the significant details so I couldn’t spill the beans if I didn’t get it.”
The episode, "Amy's Choice," is set to air in the United Kingdom in May 15 and will follow a few weeks later on BBC America.
"Doctor Who" airs weekends on both BBC and BBC America.
