I really hope we end up with something like Culture Minds.

And then there's the question marks, which all 80's Doctor's hated, especially McCoy. It's a good thing they ditched them in the TV Movie, otherwise the next logical progression for The Doctor would have been The Riddler's outfit.
Yeah, I'd heard the same story, but there are ways to go dark without going all black. Shades of grey maybe? And again there's the all blue version that works quite well also. In any case JNT admitted later on that the technicolor dream coat was pretty much the nadir of his time as show runner. It says something about…
Oh gods, that look suits Baker so much better than what he ended up with. Why oh why didn't JNT listen to him?
I just walked home in that freezing rain! It took me three times as long just trying to keep from falling on my ass; made me want a pair of golf shoes.
That's the thing, I think he is aware of it. Evidence of that would be his decision to make series seven single episode stories: as in no two part episodes and no real overall story ark. He apparently did this in response to the criticisms that series six was (to some people) too complicated and plot heavy, with a few…
I really liked it too, but if I were to single anything out it's that it should have been longer, in two parts even. Much of it felt really rushed, and it's interesting to compare it to Ten's swansong, which was two parts and felt very bloated; this is almost an inversion, where there were so many neat idea's I really…
And "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is the perfect movie for when your love is lost, you find yourself alone and Valentine's Day is upon you. I seriously cried while watching this in the cinema, all alone, and still do every time I see it; not just because it's a brilliant movie that is seriously twisted and…
I can't come to grips with no more Culture stories :(
I can see him being good as Shackleton. I'll have a look for it.
It's stated many times that he felt keenly the responsibility of leading them to safety, given that he was the one who put them in the situation, however accidentally. Most of the decisions he made after were lifesavers, and he had a keen eye for doing everything possible to keep morale up. I didn't know about a…
80's era Cybermen felt a lot more menacing, especially considering you could see biological jaws working behind there helmets. Sorry for not including a picture, I don't have time at the moment.
I would have picked The World's End over This is The End, but that's just my preference; I liked them both a lot. Where would you have put Oblivion on this list? Despite it's problems, I thought it was a gorgeous film, especially the first half.
Yes, it's very well written. I really don't know how these men did it. I think I'd have gone bonkers after a week on the ice.
I'm reading a book about it right now, called Endurance, fittingly enough. It truly is remarkable, given that the spent about a year on the ice, without there ship. Eventually they took to three open boats in an attempt to reach Elephant Island, the account of which is one of the most harrowing things I've ever read,…
I think Lena Headey would make a good choice, and she already has quite a lot of experience in SF and fantasy.
I've been watching Dr Who since the 80's, and went off the air I watched the old episodes and read the books. Absolutely over the moon when the show came back in 2005. I say bring on a woman if that's the right choice to be made (I think that could be fantastic), because no matter what, I'll always stick with my…
That's great news! I never felt that Dr Who suited the whole split series thing, given it's only 13 episodes plus one Christmas special a year. I hope they bring back two-parters as well; last season it felt like there were too many stories with good ideas that got seriously rushed due to being constrained to 45…
And let's not forget 'Night of The Doctor,' which I will not spoil for you here if you haven't seen it, but if you have seen it, you'll know it also fits in very appropriately with this naming arc.
I wonder if Mark Gatiss will get the job? It seems likely, though I'm not sure how I feel about that.
