- The names in the credits freaking sped by, it was boggling. And also, it was a small, but great moment when credits for the actors for Harriet Jones, Francine Jones and the TW team came up at the bottom of the screen when the ep started. That’s never happened before. That was awesome to give those actors equal importance almost to the ones in the ( Read more... )

Yeah. It was odd. That's my overwhelming opinion really. It was so not RTD, and yet very RTD, at the same time. I want to applaud him for doing something I thought he was utterly incapable of doing - writing an episode without big explosions, ridiculous aliens or characters dying all over the place without reason.

So late in his very last season, ( Read more... )

Am very nervous. My 4 year old sister just left to go for her introduction day for school. She's starting in September and all the Junior Infants have to go in today with their parents. I'm nervous because 1) she's a really cheerful and friendly girl, but kind of... er, obnoxious at times, and I hope the other girls aren't afraid of her more than ( Read more... )

It seems as though those strange rumours going around that we were getting less Torchwood, along with less Doctor Who next year are in fact completely true. We're apparently getting only 5 episodes, which will be shown all in one week. I'm disappointed, but I supposed something is better than nothing.

Well it certainly looks like I'm going to have a LOT of shows to watch this autumn. It's weird to think we'll be going from a total drought of shows because of the strike into a big onslaught of awesome ones. I will of course be watching Heroes (lets hope it doesn't suck so much this time), Pushing Daisies (an entire season of its brilliance now), ( Read more... )

SO.

Steven Moffat is taking over from Russell T Davies on Doctor Who. I won't lie - I got the shock of my life when I just found out. I often talked about how much I prefered Moffat's manner of writing more satisfying than RTD's. It's whimsical, emotionally affecting, it makes sense, the sci-fi conclusions aren't slap, bang, reset, and his character ( Read more... )

Supernatural 3x16 No Rest For The Wicked.

*SPOILERS*

The writer's strike scuppered most shows big finales this year, so I get why it was only one episode, and an understated one at that. It's annoying that they couldn't do what they'd planned to, especially since at the core, what happened is possibly the biggest thing yet in the SPN mytharc. They ( Read more... )
