Whovian Notes

[poliphilo]

Those old Whovian monsters- Daleks and Cybermen: they never scared me.

And they don't scare me in their new shined up editions.

I've been watching re-runs. The Girl in the Fireplace is a perfect little work of art. But I couldn't be bothered to watch the Cybermen story that follows. It's not just Cybermen, its an alternative universe and it's Rose's freaking dad. These are a few of my least favourite things.

I think I've worked out why Season 1 was better than Season 2. It's not that Eccleston was better than Tennant, it's that Eccleston had a better character arc- from little lost boy to happily married man who dies to save his love.  Tennant's story arc is just  teens in space, jumping from adventure to adventure to adventure.

I go back WAY further than you, obviously. The Daleks have ALWAYS scared me, the cybermen not so much. The Daleks and Davross, back in the Tom Baker days, were what I though were REALLY frightening.

(Tom Baker remains my favorite Doc, but I haven't seen anyone past Sylvester McCoy. Alas, I have no way to watch them!)

no way to watch them? you know you can download them (illegally) right? and though i say illegal, no-ones gonna stop you.

unless you're in like africa- using a net cafe to make these blog posts. even then though- you could get your own computer and your own line, and download them.

so, no excuses! ;)

where?

do you know anything about peer to peer networks? kazaa was big in the news recently for distributing stuff illegally. but not individuals, you'd be alright.

i use bittorrent stuff. go look at wikipedia.org to get the lowdown on that. then there's a variety of tracking sites, like mininova.org and others.

good luck with it :).
