Meanwhile…
I’ve not been blogging much recently, which is a pity as, rather unusually, stuff’s actually been happening.
I went to the National Student Roleplaying and Wargaming Championships, held just up the road at Edinburgh. Apart from the New Year, this was pretty much the only face-to-face roleplaying I’ve done in about two years – which [...] -

Doctor Who: Fear Me
Much better than last week’s, but still not very good. Most of it was fairly solid if uninspiring New Who, but the overdone “love conquers all” theme and the Doctor’s final action were just too much. So basically it was an okay episode with one or two really bad moments.
Next week – the [...] -

Doctor Who: Love and Monsters
06.17.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsWell, that was appalling. That’s far and away the worst episode of the revamped Doctor Who, and a good contender for the worst Doctor Who I’ve ever seen. Maybe I need to watch Timelash again.
The one thing I’ve said over and over again about Russell T. Davies’ Who is the comedy is far, [...] -

Doctor Who: The Idiot’s Lantern
Wasn’t an A+ episode, but it was a solid B. Good fun, although as is becoming sueful for this version of Doctor Who, the villain was almost incidental to the story, not even getting a full backstory or a real name. It was basically an excuse to play with TV in the 1950’s… [...]

Doctor Who – Rise of the Cybermen
05.24.06 | Permalink | 5 CommentsFinally got around to finishing off my recap of Doctor Who: Rise of the Cybermen. I actually had it mostly finished by the end of the original broadcast, but needed to get the time to watch the episode again to catch everything, and give it all a polish.
All-in-all, a solid Part 1, that sets [...] -

Doctor Who: The Girl in the Fireplace
Overall, reasonably good fun. The main problem with it is that it hits pretty much the same emotional beats as the previous episode, School Reunion, while not being as good. Between that and a couple of other things, it seems like the writer of this episode hadn’t seen the previous one – and [...]

Playing catch-up
I’ve not been posting this past week. Bad me. The highlights are:
Saturday, Finished filming for U.S.S. Intrepid. This involved going back to Glen Doll and running about hills for a day. As someone in a sedentry job, this led to very, very sore legs. Said sore legs lated until Thursday. [...]

School Reunion
Another stellar episode. Sarah Jane Smith is back – and back she is! And K9! And Tony Head! Let down by dodgy aliens. But only a little, little bit – this is utterly fantastic stuff.
We begin with Mr. Tony Head. Ah, what fun. Apparently he eats schoolchildren. [...] -

Doctor Who: Tooth and Claw
04.22.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsNot so much a review, as a recap. Thus, spoilery to the max.
Okay, we open with some completely over the top Kung Fu monks in Victorian Scotland – as you do. The Kung Fu movie part of me wishes they’d done a better job of it, but I understand good stunt work along [...] -

Who Comma Doctor
04.15.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSpoilleriffic. If you haven’t seen the first episode of Season Two of Doctor Who, look away now.
First episode of the new series – and we’re ripping off stuff from the beginning of episode two. Huh. It does vaguely look like they’re trying to use old props and such they had [...]
