@dentarthurdent   That was a great review , I think.  I have watched this, heck I own it but I can barely remember it. Strange,  anyway I will watch it later because I love Captain Jack.

I tried making a sour dough starter and after nearly killing it a few times but bringing it back to life I called it Captain Jack. Unfortunately it was not imm…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent. I appreciated your review, in part because it has saved me from watching the episode. I get to know what happens and that is enough. (The same reason I followed the episode reviews of GoT. Saved me watching it but I was interested enough to enjoy following the story.)

I do feel that Graeme ended up becoming bit of a liability…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   That looks very interesting and I put it on my watch list. Thanks.

@dentarthurdent  I am a massive fan of Sherlock and have watched it all a few times. It modernizes the characters and stories excellently, bringing Holmes and Watson to life in our time. It also has a really good cast! Have fun watching.

Stay safe.

@dentarthurdent

Your views on Moffat’s writing coincide pretty much exactly with mine. I, too, love the ‘puzzle boxes’ and the densely layered plots which repay multiple re-viewings – so much more satisfying than simple narratives, though I concede that the latter can be very entertaining. As for the accusations of misogyny, I, born in 1942 and…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  I have enjoyed all of the first episodes but part of that is the anticipation I think. I have to say that Rose is my favourite  first story because it started my love of Who and the Doctor. It started a fantasy journey that I am still on and that I still enjoy as much as ever. When I watched the first series I didn’t even have a c…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   I work part time (money) and the mister is retired but we still never have enough time to do what we want.  My house seems to be bigger on the inside when it comes to chores. We also like sitting by the creek and watching the wildlife a little too much.

I save most of my DVD viewing for the long and cold winter but I am about to…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent A belated Happy Birthday.

Re feeling old when others of like age pass away, that happens at all ages sadly. I caught up with the “old crowd” from work on Sunday. It is 27 years since I left that workplace and probably about ten years since last seeing most of them. Surprisingly few have changed much but several other people who…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   Happy Birthday!  I hope it was a great one. You share a birthday with my granddaughter who turned 18 today. What? How did that happen, when did it happen? My son’s birthday is tomorrow. How is it that their birthdays make me feel older them my own? Anyway I hope you had fun on yours.

@blenkinsopthebrave   I love the Fiveish Doc…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent and @blenkinsopthebrave I do love the Fiveish Doctor’s reboot. It is truly a gem, reflecting a remarkable degree of good will between all involved. It is one of those things that I will watch when I need a ‘pick me up”. It changed my attitude to Colin Baker, though I still don’t like him as the Doctor and really raised Peter…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  and @janetteb  I have not watched this one since it first aired although I own the dvds, it is not a favourite. I remember some of it being exciting and the crazy Master and the destruction of Gallifrey and cybermen. Mostly I remember being confused. The Doctor is what now?The Timelords are who?

I decided that was all a bad d…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent. Another excellent review and it reminds me of all the  things I disliked about this episode and why I have not watched the subsequent episodes which makes me sad. I want to keep watching but just cannot and it is because this episode for me was destructive of the series itself.  MOffat and RTD made changes to the lore but they d…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent have you seen the Flux series not to give any spoilers but The Division is explained in full during Jodies last “full” series. In the main Chibbers  tenure as show runner has been extremely lack-luster. Yes there have been a few good episodes but in the main his helming has been very divisive in the view of a lot of who fans. In m…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I recall both liking and hating this episode, mostly though because of where it leads I suspect. So much potential and some cracking story telling and it sets up a lot of intrigue.

Laughed at your mention of Lexx. We did a Podcast about it earlier this year. It was awful. Really awful. needless the say the youngest member of our…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I could watch it episode by episode and try to give my impressions now on them.  I am sure there are several episodes where I won’t have anything interesting to say though.  Or maybe just comment whenever I feel like it’s worth doing.

I don’t want to put the pressure on myself to commit to this lol.

@janetteb   It is very sad news. Wilf is  one of the most human of all companions and one of my favourites although he often makes me cry. If Wilf is happy and doing a little dance then I am happy but when he is sad then I cry every time no matter how many times I see it. Bernard Cribbins brought a warmth and light to the role that shone out in ev…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   I agree about the viewing habits of many people now. They don’t want or need DVDs anymore. We are lucky because our library has thousands of them in its branches so I can watch many things without having to buy them. And it is free!

play safe.

@winston I guess there are a few factors there that determine how good the new doctors are.

I think there is always a bias for certain Doctors over others, especially your first Doctor.  Like I consider Ten to be my first Doctor because he was still around when I got into the series, even though Eleven had been cast and that series was getting…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent  I am disappointed when there are few or no extras in a DVD set. I mean if I am a big enough fan of the show to buy an entire series I obviously want to see any extras about the show.  I always learn something and they are fun. Give me more Who anytime.

Oh no, I really am a nerd.

play safe

@dentarthurdent I fear that Farscape is also on our “to watch” list for Cult Tv Club for this year but I am not sure that the S/O can cope with more Muppets. We have done Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock so far this year and Labyrinth last year. Feeling a bit Muppeted out, especially as I was never a Muppet fan.

I have never watched Battlestar…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I have never been a fan of Westerns though I enjoyed the occasional spaghetti western when I was studying film but I do have very fond memories of watching old Westerns with my Uncle many years ago. We were both in stiches. He loved Westerns but also enjoyed the silliness inherent within them.

I think that is why I never warmed to…[Read more]
