HOLY CRAP. :eek: Brilliant is all I can say. Brilliant. :D This is the best season finale of the new series of Doctor Who. Steven Moffat should be proud. He's trumped Russell T. Davies in every way. He may have even the late Douglas Adams with this yarn. Matt, Karen, Arthur and the lovely Alex...

Well, I just the finished the new Overlord DLC. HOOOLLLEEEE CRAAAAPPPP!!! :eek: This was just brilliant, though I'll admit, not very original. Rogue AI takes over base? Been there, done that. But by god did Bioware ever get the atmosphere right. That feeling of scary robots wanting to kill...

It was written by Richard Curtis, so what did you expect? ;) Most of his films (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill) end on a musical montage. Sure it's manipulative, but damn if it isn't effective.

Argh. :rant: That trailer was worthless. A 20 second trailer for a 2011 release? Give me more scenes damnit! Still looking forward to the series mind you, but that was bollocks.

The Lodger - Dear me, that was all rather silly wasn't it? :D Still, I thought it was a pretty funny episode and a good showcase of how much of a loopy madman the 11th Doctor can be. It's hilarious to watch his attempts at being "normal" fail spectacularly. Good double act with Matt Smith...

I LOVED THIS EPISODE. :) It was less a Doctor Who story and more of a tribute to a man unappreciated in his lifetime, only for him to realize (through the miracle of time travel ;)) how great his legacy would be. My eyes welled up at the scene in the museum.:.-( Tony Curran was excellent as Van...

So the whole season 5 is just one big Timey Wimey ball by the Moff? ;) Not that I'm complaining. As I said before, Steven Moffat is the only writer in the new series who seems game to mess about with the notion of time, which is perfect for Doctor Who! As he said in a recent interview, "the...

Aw hell... :.-( Cold Blood - Really felt a bit by the numbers for the most part, but was made up by the last 10 mins. I do like the resolution between the Silurians and Humans though, didn't feel like a copout. Smith is again in top form, and it's nice to see his Doctor won't be much of a...

You haven't seen City of Death yet? :confused: That's a shame, as I still think it's the greatest Doctor Who tv story ever broadcast. As for Shada, yes I do realize it wasn't finished, which is unfortunate. It would have easily topped City of Death and been Tom Baker's finest outing. As such I...

I must respectfully disagree. A number of the classic series serials trump the new series episodes in many ways. For all his brilliance, Moffat has yet to craft something as ingenious as City of Death or Shada (both written by the late Douglas Adams and both Tom Baker stories). And nothing in...

Well, new show again today: The Hungry Earth - It's 2020 in South Wales, and the Silurians return. To be honest, I never really cared for the lizard men from the old series, but the way they're reintroduced here was quite good. Nice build up of suspense up to the moment they appear, and some...

Well, new episode review here. Amy's Choice - Wow. I honestly didn't expect much from the previews, but this episode was cracking. Great suspense filled yarn with some great character development for the 3 leads. And it's nice to see that Rory and Amy's relationship won't be on standby for the...

See, I've heard differently. Chris said that working on Doctor Who was an honor and that he had nothing bad to say about the program, just the BBC and their mucking up the PR about his departure. He also said that he was touched by the response from children when he played the Doctor, and that...

Well… rather late to the party here. Chalk it up to being busy enjoying the new season before giving my two cents. But now seems as good a time as any to post my thoughts on Steven Moffat’s first season on Doctor Who. Let’s start with the characters then: The 11th Doctor – Brilliant. Just...

Yeah Zaeed was betrayed just like , but as WizarDru pointed out, he really isn't much of a leader. His stories of leading merc bands on missions with him emerging as the only survivor are a pretty clear indicator of this.

Er... You don't necessarily have to lose anyone by picking them to lead the distraction team. Miranda or Garrus can lead the team just fine without losing their heads.

Be careful with it though. While the Vanguard does excel in close quarters, it can backfire spectacularly if you don't plan your strikes well. Say you pull a biotic charge on one opponent, only to find yourself open to his buddies' fire once you're out of cover. Back to the subject of voice...

I imported John Shepard, my Soldier, from the first game. And it's pretty sweet to use all those different guns :) (though I mostly used the assault and sniper rifles ). Finished the game with him (the finale is AWESOME btw). I'm now currently playing with Laura Shepard, my imported female...

Well, it's been 2 years since Sovereign made us pee in our pants. So after all that time, has Bioware come through with flying colors on the invetable sequel to their outer space saga? The answer is a resounding YES. :) There's just too much praise here that I can hardly fill in one post...

I remember the scene in question, and I thought it one of the better moments in an otherwise lackluster first part. Sure, I can sympathize with the Doctor having fear of regeneration, but only up to a point. Having your current 'self' or identity be replaced by a brand new one is surely a...
