Not sure I agree with that ... surely it is still a great story, just a mediocre movie.

That episode scored about 9.5 on my "WeirdShit-o-meter". Loved it. :D

Re: Dr Who - Season 30 (4) Why do you say his regenerations are "seemingly limitless"? According to the show he has 12 altogether and he has had 9 of those already ... hence 3 left. I haven't seen anything to indicate that The Doctor is suddenly able to regenerate as many times as he needs to...

Re: Dr Who - Season 30 (4) I have to confess, I didn't appreciate that Moffatt taking over from RTD meant taking over Torchwood too ... I am sure I recall that SM said he would never ever write for Torchwood, and that, for me, is not a good starting point for him taking over a show that I...

Re: Dr Who - Season 30 (4) Given how The Doctor treats the TARDIS at times, I can't imagine it would ever call him "Sweetie".

Aahh, The Silmarillion ... the book that made the 12 year old me (fresh from reading The Lord of the Rings) go :wtf: Must dig it out and have another look sometime.

Seems a bit odd hanging about on a B5 board complaining about the pointlessness of prequels, when one of the most highly regarded parts of the show was a prequel in which we all knew the ending (In The Beginning). Likewise, we all knew the ending to the Dambusters raid before we watched the...

Not that it irritates me or anything ... but it is Ian Holm. Sir Ian Holm in fact. :D

Much as I love Dilbert, I hardly think it should be seen as a authoritative source on the attitudes of men and women to each other. :D Sometimes, Andrew I think you need to either; use a smilie (if you are joking) or get a life (if you aren't). And I actually thought the Garibaldi stuff in...

The other obvious one (and even 2001 commits this one, having come closer than pretty much everyone else to date) is having the starfield moving in the background to show a moving spaceship. In reality the stars would be so far away as to not appear to move unless the ship was moving really...

Or even ... Londo: I hate my life G'Kar: So do I One of my favourites too :D

Well, the worst excesses of the English disease of football holliganism were, thankfully, consigned to history years ago, but back in the 80s running battles in the street over different football (soccer) teams were commonplace. Generally red and blue rather than green and purple. And the...

Re: Dr Who - Season 30 (4) I think Dante reserved the 10th circle for it, didn't he. Sadly, my wife is a big Eurovision fan (of the "so kitsch it's funny" variety) and, even more sadly, I have noted a few former Eurovision "classics" appearing on my iTunes library recently. That wouldn't be...

He didn't treat her like a schoolgirl, he just took pleasure in pointing out that with her promotion came the responsibility to get involved in more of the diplomatic matters on the station ... the first of which was to try and talk some sense into the Drazi. Don't forget that Sheridan and...

No thanks, I've just had one. :D

His Beast Wars eps were pretty good too.

JMS has form where it comes to re-casting actors who have hacked him off. He was royally peeved at Robert Foxworth for dropping out of Severed Dreams at the last minute because his agent had double booked him with DS9, but that didn't stop him from casting him as the President in a few episode...

The explanation I have heard for it (but can't remember where) is the different way we tend to air shows over here ... i.e. you start the series/season and carry on until it ends then take it off air, whereas in the US they have tended not to air a full 20-24 episode season all in one block...

I guess the problem is that having a different actor playing the role doesn't necessarily mean you will get the same character. A new actor will bring a new dynamic to a role, and if that dynamic is different to William Shatner or Leanord Nimoy's dynamic then the argument is that they have...

And all of which I think is exactly what JMS was going for in writing the character. Towards the end Byron was acting purely on emotion after "accidentally" getting the truth of the telepaths origins from Lyta. It was on discovering that fact that he escalated matters to make what followed...
