Yeah. Goddam.

Yeah. Goddam.

She did the audiobook for Lis Sladen's autobiography. Nice connection.

I'll slightly disagree with you on sentimentality and The Ladies Man.

He referred to himself as she throughout the Oddities segment, so that's what I went with.

I really liked Roadside Picnic, but Tarkovsky's first version of the film — he got to make the film twice from scratch because the negative was too damaged to use, and once a film was approved by the Soviet Government it goddamned well got made, no matter what — is closer to the novel than this is. This is much more…

Genesis was on Oddities the other day, and kept referring to herself and her wife in the present tense. I was just about to say something about this to my wife when Genesis said that even though Lady Jaye was gone, she was inside her, and they had combined together in the end. As weird and confusing as that might be,…

Just to let you know that you are completely wrong about Under the Volcano.

VHS version is the best. Avoid the movie version — the show wasn't made for that sort of format. Gotta say, though — the Ace seduction scene is one of the weirdest moments in the history of the show. Not necessarily for what it is, but how it goes about its weird business, with some horrible dialogue and hopeless…

Moon rocks?Oh wow!

Sarah Goddamned Jane Smith. Always.

Hell, yes. Showed it in a film class just because I could. No real reason other than that.

I've never really understood the great love for this one, and don't think it's the best from Season 22 at all. Attack of the Cybermen earns its criticisms, but has some solid direction and decent characterization, and Revelation, while as atypical a Doctor Who story as Love and Monsters, has much the same, and for the…

I thought it was the old Supertrain set. That would be appropriate on so many levels.

"Dung Eating Fool!!! Thou hast doomed us all!!!"  One of the greatest line readings in history.

For some reason, Doctor who likes to come up with "car riding/driving" themes. There's 2-3 in Pertwee's era, and they're all annoying, sounding like the theme to one of my favorite video games: Mappy.

An overuse of the synth cymbal crash is to blame. Esp. when they do it several times in a row and it just "stops" each time, instead of ringing like a cymbal would.

The strike is also the reason the actual season ender,  The War Head (or The Return), was moved to next season, becoming Resurrection of the Daleks. And it's the reason Grimwade didn't get to direct any more Who's. When the story was moved, he took the cast and crew out to dinner, but intended to take JNT out with…

The 20th Anniversary Season has so many problems behind the scenes that maybe only 2-3 of the stories really hold together. Mawdryn is one of them, but only barely. I have no problem with the contrivance of the two Brigs showing up at the same time — I mean, that's Doctor Who. In fact, what really works for this are…
