I think you might be wasting your time there Michelle, if you know what I mean.

Last night's (UK) episode was immensely disappointing.
I actually fell asleep.
At least they managed to get the great Derek Jacobi in an episode.
I want them to rerun some old eps cause one of my relatives was in Destiny of the Daleks way back in 1979

Was you ingesting large amounts of alcohol prior to the episode or had your Knightly meds been dispensed ? was a very good penultimate episode methinks

Nope.......neither of those.......I don't drink and the drugs I do take are non-drowsy making.
I just felt that nothing much happened.
Watched Blink again to make up for it........now that's what a real Dr Who episode should be like.

Due respect to John Simm, who I really enjoyed in Life on Mars, but I really wish Jacobi could have stuck around a little longer. He was great, and Simm, while plenty campy, just doesn't bring the sinister gravitas. He's a little too Dr. Evil. 'Course, writing plays a role...
Does anyone know, did that Gallifreyan background material come out of thin air, or does it come from some canonical novel or audio adventure I've never seen?

I never got into Torchwood.......whenever I saw it the acting looked terrible....John Barrowman was worse than usual.
Anyway, there's a few corkers in the season. Blink is fantastic, as is the preceding Human Nature/Family of Blood two-parter.
The Shakespeare Code is great, especially if you know your Shakespeare cause there are a few in-jokes slipped in. They seem to do the historical ones best....Girl in the Fireplace was good as was the Empty Child/Doctor Dances two-parter (are you my mummy????)
If you are a mummy, your kids might need you for Blink......it's a real good old hide behind the sofa episode.

Can I have Captain Jack for Christmas? He can teach me how to shoot. 
Lucky Gwen Cooper! lol
We had our 3rd Torchwood ep tonight. The one with the little thing that made them see 'ghosts' and the old fella topped himself on the knife that Gwen was holding.
I love all the characters in Torchwood!
If I can't have Captain Jack, can I kick Martha out and be the Doctor's assistant? Thursday nights "Runaway Bride" was really good. I loved the Tardis going down the motorway bouncing off the top of the cars. lol Then Saturday was the first ep of the new series with Martha in it and the police that looked like rhinos. I'd like a sonic screwdriver for Christmas too.

Clark, are you talking about Torchwood or Doctor Who? The next Doctor Who ep is a Shakespeare one.

I am a mummy but my kids are young teens now so less prone to nightmares and frights. My almost 14 y.o. daughter sat and watched Resident Evil on the telly with me last night. Great movie. We've got the second one on dvd but I hadn't seen the first one.
Anyway, my daughter sort of half watches Torchwood while she is on msn with her friend in Sydney and my 16 y.o. son is a great fan of the Doctor. He won't watch Torchwood because he thinks it looks like crap. 
I've been waiting for a show I could really get into since Nikita finished. Heroes and Supernatural have come close, but the new Doctor Who series of the last couple of years and now Torchwood have done it. It might sound silly to most, but I love a show that gets me on the edge of my seat, and makes me feel what the characters are feeling. I'm not too embarrassed to say that I do have a tendency to tell them to hurry up and run, or not to go through the door etc.

Just in case you were a huge Rose fan Michelle give the new companion a couple of episodes. I feel they kind of did her a disservice in the writing of her character in the first couple of episodes but I honestly preferred Martha once she got going.

Eaving, I was a big Rose fan and found it really sad at the end of the last season when it was so obvious how much they cared for each other and couldn't stay together.
To tell you the truth, I was dead set against the new one coming in, but I enjoyed the ep so much that I didn't mind her at all. She got the Doctor up and about again, so that's a bonus for her. It would have been a disaster to lose him in the first ep of the season!

John Simms shows up for a couple episodes at the end of the third season as well. If you've not already seen him in Life on Mars I highly advise hunting that one down, a brilliant series

No, seriously - I got really tense watching Blink and two other people at work turned over to another channel because they couldn't bear to watch it. This episode is scary not because of what you see, but because of what you don't see (i.e. it gets to work inside your head)
It got a 5.5 on the (1 to 5) Fear Factor scale (see HERE) 
Ni!

Soooo...you agree with Clark that it's a 'hide behind the sofa' ep, Sir Furry? I may need my daughter's giant teddy bear for protection.
5.5 on the Fear Factor scale. I think that says it all.

I was checking up to see if Life on Mars is on here, and my son informed me that it's finished. With a bit of luck they'll show the series again.
On another note, I watched a silly show called Hyperdrive tonight. It must have started last week because this was the second episode, Hello, Queppu, (pronounced kwappoo). It was an utterly silly show and the alien bigwigs had what looked like blow-up toys on their heads.
It was so silly that I had to put my Resident Evil Apocalypse dvd on after it. Now that is a top notch movie! Oh my gawd, you should have seen my mother jump!! The third Resident Evil movie will be in theatres in September apparently.
Getting back to Doctor Who - only 3 more sleeps to the Shakespeare ep.

The story itself isn't particularly scary, but I guess they've changed it and added some etc. |
Definitely the story it is based on (since the main character is Sally Sparrow), but with a few tweaks it is given a very different slant.
Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't BLINK...

Blink is a Steven Moffat episode and hes been responsible for the bulk of the best episodes in the new series. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances in season one were his as well.

| SciFi started airing season 3 last night - I enjoyed watching Catherine Tate again! She'll make an excellent companion. I gather she's a rather famous comedienne in the UK? |

Shes well known in England but based on some other forums Ive been following it seems shes about half loved and half hated. I wasn't honestly all that fond of the character myself.

I've got to agree with the comments above about Blink, edge of seat stuff.
Got to wait until Christmas now for the next one. The kids will be insufferable!
