Worth rewatching: Doctor Who’s “Blink” and the rewatchability

Abstract

This paper analises the episode “Blink”, of the antological british series Doctor Who, pointing its assimilation of aesthetical bias of contemporary serial fiction, as different manifestations of narrative complexity, operatory aesthetics and self-reference; and the rewachtability and consumption of televisual content in different situations of reception, as systematized by the American researcher Jason Mittell.
