Trainspotting introduced me to Underworld, and for that it has my eternal gratitude. Those guys are fucking fantastic.

The cheating was something I grew tired of during season three, but it's always been the least interesting aspect of the show, IMO.
Fuckin' awesome, obviously.
"Requiem for a Dream makes life look bad."
Y'know, I wrote a whole paragraph below in reply to beema, but you summed up my problem with that movie far better than I could.
And it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Trainspotting looks at the pros and cons and lets people come to the conclusion of "yeah, maybe I shouldn't use heroin."
Requiem for a Dream shouts "DRUGS ARE BAD!" at you over and over again through a haze of neverending misery, and it comes off a like preachy high school…
Boy, you must hate Daleks.
Huh. I liked that it was a psychological manifestation; it showed how deep the Doctor's self-loathing runs.
…not to say that the same thing couldn't theoretically be achieved with an alien and not space pollen.
It's a shame First Night/Last Night is just a Blu-Ray extra.
Who fans are so divided now that B+ is a major achievement, and we'll probably never see A- ever again.
Perhaps one should just watch the ending of Planet of the Dead, then. All the necessary plot developments, none of the pain.
But Curse of the Black Spot is both pedestrian and pointless. For example: I didn't include the The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood because it a) reintroduces Silurians and b) has an important thing happen at the end (trying to limit spoilers, obviously). But there's no point to Black Spot; it's not that great and it doesn't…
That Vincent and the Doctor has a B- deeply confuses me.
And now I want to know why you dislike the ending.
@Heliphyneau
But if this mythical drop-down box fails to appear?
I would agree, but doesn't that one introduce the "he shall knock four times" thing?
The battle at Demon's Run didn't go too well for him.
@Teller of the Fucking Truth
I didn't know he wrote Father's Day. I dunno, I thought that was inoffensive at worst, though I don't think they ever bothered to follow the time travel rules they set in that episode. I'm curious as to why you think it belongs with, say, Fear Her.
Except for Silence In the Library. Required viewing for anyone heading first into the 11th Doctor, that.
I dunno if you're going to start with Eccleston, Tennant or Smith, but I do have some suggestions about what to avoid, because they are some of the worst New Who has to offer.
Season 2: Love and Monsters, Fear Her
Season 3: The Shakespeare Code, Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks, Voyage of the Damned
Season 4:…
Count me as another fan of Season 6. Never really understood the hate, and my opinion of it only improves when I compare it to RTD-era Doctor Who.
