This is a very busy 6th Doctor story. In many ways the Doctor is only a piece of a much larger story ( Read more... )

After just two episodes of the first season I'm hooked on Deadwood. After just one episode of the fifth season of Doctor Who I'm not feeling quite so warm and fuzzy. I warmed to both Eccleston and Tennant very quickly, I'm not so certain about this new Doctor or his companion.

I just noticed a neat little coincidence involving the titles of the last two episodes of televsion shows that I watched. Sunday night I watched episode 11 of season 2 of Dexter which is titled 'Left Turn Ahead'. Last night I watched episode 11 of season 4 of Doctor Who which is titled 'Turn Left'. I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for ( Read more... )

I'm in the midst of watching four different tv series right now. I'm enjoying them all so I'm not about to give any of them up. It just means that it will probably take me longer to finish them off.

The Prisoner (1967) - I can't watch this series without considering the context, the time in which it was made. I am impressed by most of the ( Read more... )

I finished off season 3 of Doctor Who. As I wrote before I wasn't too happy with the new version of the Master. I wasn't too pleased with the two-part season finale either. On the whole season 2 was better than season 3. I blame the writing. I can't be any more specific than that. The actors were all good, with one glaring exception: the Master. ( Read more... )

I fell asleep while doing my drops, around 9:30, and just woke up. There was stuff in the kitchen that needed to be cleaned up and lights left on so I had to get up. Then I noticed the computer was also still on so here I am.

I was surprised at how little it took to fill me up tonight. I didn't think I ate very much but I was stuffed after one ( Read more... )

Doctor Who: Mark of the Rani - So disappointing. With the exception of the Rani I found the performances to be overacted. I remember watching this 20+ years ago and enjoying it. What happened to me? This time around it felt like things were moving a bit too quickly. Motivations were either very unclear or too glibly explained. The master seems like ( Read more... )

I'm down to the last few episodes of season 3 of Doctor Who. Looks like Captain Jack Harkness returns in the next episode. I'm debating going back and watching season 1 of Torchwood before continuing with Doctor Who, primarily because Captain Jack is the lead character on Torchwood. I'm probably going to at least give Torchwood a try. I' ( Read more... )

Netflix sucks for DVDs, at least all the ones I seem to order don't work. The latest dud is Homicide: Life on the Streets (Season 3, Disc 1). It won't play. I should make a list of all the DVDs I've rented recently that either won't play at all or stop half way through.

Since I couldn't get the DVD to play I tried watching ( Read more... )

More like DVD troubles. What is up with the Doctor Who Classic DVDs? They've updated the special effects but insist on showing every scene with updated special effects in it twice. First with the original SPX and then with the new SPX. I find it to be a bit jarring and annoying. Its moving me in the direction of DLing Doctor Who Classic from iTunes ( Read more... )
