Here's my thoughts after watching this here flick. I liked it. It was a rock 'em and sock 'em pulp action extravaganza that I've come to expect from the man in the hat. But... it did not wow me or move me in the way Raiders or Last Crusade did (can't say much for Temple of Doom, since it's...

While I'll be eternally grateful to Davies for bringing back what is arguably the greatest scifi show on TV, I'm kinda glad he's stepping down. His recent stories weren't the greatest and I could detect a marked decline in quality over the past two seasons. Hopefully Moffat will bring a whole...

The date is December the 8th, 1926, and the estate of Lady Clemency Eddison is throwing a dinner party with a very special guest, Agatha Christie. Miss Christie is more than delighted to talk about murder, until one actually happens within the estate. She soon takes it upon herself to solve this...

Other notable examples include: - Converting a lighthouse into a laser tower and destroying a Rutan warship in The Horror of Fang Rock. - Uploading a binary code that disabled the alternate earth Cybermen's emotional inhibitor circuit, thus driving them insane and to death in The Age of Steel...

It has been rather thick, yes. Still, one of the reasons I like the Tenth Doctor so much is because of his moral assertiveness. Yet recently it seems as if he's hell bent on getting huffy over those who don't follow his moral code. So it was a nice scene to see him at a loss for words when Jenny...

I'm thinking you missed the whole point of that scene. The Doctor was all for leaving Jenny behind because: 1) she was an artificially created lifeform, and therefore not "real" in his eyes. 2) she was made to be a soldier. Soldiers of course, carry guns. And according to the Doctor's holier...

Damn... beat me to it. :D That aside, I was pleasantly surprised by this. A nice introduction to a new character in the Who universe. :) I really liked Jenny. At first I feared she'd become annoying, but she won me over with that bright and optimistic spirit that she clearly inherited from her...

Hey, don't knock down the Agent Elrond jokes. They rock! :D Elrond: Never send a hobbit to do an elf's job. :cool: I do agree about James Earl Jones though. Such a great voice, but too associated with the man in black. :) Here's an idea though: Who says Hugo Weaving couldn't pull double...

The stratagem continues, and the Sontarans have the upper hand. The Doctor and UNIT now must find a way to regain the advantage, and solve the poison mist that now fills the skies. Donna is caught between a rock and a hard place, and Martha is not all that she seems. Oh how the Doctor wishes...

Saw it yesterday in probably the most expensive theater, but let me tell you it was well worth it. :D Many complained about Downey Jr. being cast as Tony Stark, but having seen the man's work before, I had no worries he could pull it off. And he does, wonderfully. He brings the character's...

In an interview w/ SFX magazine, Russell T. Davies said the reason for the lack of otherworld stories was primarily due to budget constraints. RTD, being the sticker for detail that he is, wants alien planet to look like alien planet, and not some rock quarry or studio set as was often the case...

I'd do it in a second if I knew how to post spoiler tags. Alas, I don't. Would anyone show me how? I'd really appreciate it. :)

Continuing from this, I'd recommend getting him All Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. It's quite simply the best run of Superman stories since the Silver Age and Alan Moore's work. And speaking of Moore, if your son likes All Star, then he may also enjoy Moore's run on...

Mysterious deaths around the world arouse the suspicion of UNIT, and their newest medical officer, Martha Jones, calls upon an old friend for help. The Doctor arrives, reuniting with Martha, whilst Donna reunites with her family. But the reunions are short lived, as an old enemy of the Doctor...

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Bilbo who was gagged taped while a bunch of trolls we're dancing around him? :D

I think what Felon means is that he probably watched it on video, years after the show was canceled. Sorry, just offering my two cents. :) Question, were the characters really that two dimensional? As I said, I've never watched the series, so I can't really judge.

YES... :) I look forward to see how Del Toro's freakish imagination influences Middle Earth.

WHOA. So the Brits have finally decided to join in on the BSG craze. Not that of course, Blake's 7 is a carbon copy of BSG, as it was one of the originators of dark scifi tv and probably had a heavy influence on the new BSG. For the record, I've never watched the original Blake's 7 but have...

I actually had more problems w/ the sets they used more than anything. It seemed as if they filmed the story in some sort of abandoned steel mill. Not very convincing as an alien holding pen in my view.

But at times he can be a thoughtless prat and make snide comments on the humanity's less desirable qualities. Donna's reaction to his slavery comment is perfectly understandable. I wouldn't like it if some high and mighty alien was talking down to me.
