Dr Who
Pants. That's all I'm going to say on the subject. Apart from, whose bloody idea was it to bring the cybermen back? They were crap at the start of the series. But if they're back then perhaps (gay?) Mickey is back too? We'll see. J x
I'm getting disappointed. At first when they made the Dr a bit different then it was fun; mixing him with ghosts (the Charles Dickens one) and mythology (werewolves) instead of science, and giving him emotions and frailty. But now we've got "Dr Who meets Satan" and "Dr Who does Most Haunted" and I'm starting to hanker after the old "planet surface is a quarry and here's an alien in a latex mask" days.
You can imagine at the commissioning meeting for the new series RTD saying "let's explore the boundaries and do something different with him" and all the little writers going off with their waxcrayons muttering "I know - I'll have the devil as my monster, nobody else will think of that, then RTD will like me best". Can they not just give him an apple like the other kiddies? Last night: the alien idea was fine - but feeling the lurrve when you see the olympic flame?? And yes perhaps a bystander in a suit could snatch the flame but they'd sure as H not be allowed to carry it into the stadium pas security. Oh perrr-lease!! (Rant over - sorry J!! Hope the stomach-churning lurrvy bit last night didn't undo the work of the anti-emetics). Just got rid of a comp monitor on Freecycle, which has to be the bestest website ever.
