omg haha you're right. I guess I just don't consider DW enough of a drama to count.

Heh. The funny thing is, I was just as disappointed in the last ep of SoP, in different ways, but I wasn't as emotional about it, so I don't continuously rant on the subject. (In short, I am still LoM > SoP, you're *shocked*, I'm sure.)

hahaa well I guess I agree the end of SOP had a couple of problems (Stephen's motivation, etc.) but all in all I personally enjoyed its suspenseful drama more than LOM's. That said, I'm not shocked. :) LOM does lend itself better to fannishness coz it had more eps, etc. YMMV.

Actually I think The Singing Detective is the greatest British drama of all time, but LoM is my absolute favourite :P

I enjoyed State of Play mainly because of John Simm and the host of other great actors. I find political intrigue very confusing, so the story went a bit over my head. I'm stupid like that.
