Yes, this is re: Doctor Who.

You know, I don't particularly like it when shows try to flatter the children in their audience by insisting that their childlike wonder is more powerful than being an adult and actually knowing things. I remember being a kid and being actively pissed off that 1) I had to work without having all the information 2) even when I had a chance of figuring out what was going on, I usually lacked the cognitive skills to assess the information on my own and had to depend mostly on received wisdom. I am pretty sure that most of the things I said that could be seen as being Cute and Reflecting Childlike Wonder were goes at forming working hypotheses about the world, and while I am not knocking mindful direct observation, it's good to be a grownup and have a proper library card and Google Scholar and a fully-online brain to use them with.

I am hoping that show, incidentally, will drop any further notes that the Doctor, who is 900 years old, prefers it if Amy is childish (as opposed to, I don't know, mindful, observant, enthusiastic, and engaged). Because I know it's just an attempt to flatter Doctor Who's major viewing demographic, but it kind of gives me a sad.

Okay, Doctor Who 5x05

( I am NOT SURE. )
