I'm all for Warriors. I just love watching Ingrid kung fu the Myrka in such extraordinary style. The Matrix meets Doctor Who.

Shameful isn't it.

All that bloody criticism, and I'm actually giving a little nod to a Chris Chibnall story.

Maybe Russell helped out Chibnall with the writing process of 42. You know, some pointers. Ok! Maybe some BIG pointers. Ok.... let's just say Russell T. Davies wrote the bloody story in an alternative universe, and I can forget Chris Chibnall wrote 42 altogether!

I feel better now.

I also just watched The Five Doctors and became totally confused. Growing up I had the 1995 version released on DVD, except I always assumed that was the original version. So when I watched the new DVD, went with the original disc, I was surprised to find everything different. Like Silver Nemesis, the longer version is better.
Look at it this way. 42 was well acted. Tennant gave his all in that one episode (as he did for most of his tenure as Who). And Chris Chibnall's a hack. I think we both agree that 42 has it's faults, but I do enjoy the story, well, sort of. And I'm NOT backtracking Dem.

I have to disagree on The Five Doctors. The original's far better than the SE IMO.

...I did write a civilised defence of the latest episode, then ended up going on a rant cuz i am beyond pissed at present.

Then i accidentally deleted my defence of Nu - Who.

So basically i'm going to post my rant. (which conveniently i saved)

I'm going to try to re-construct my original argument tomorrow but to be honest i'm probably gonna be hungover till 5pm, and by then i probably won't remember or even give a flying monkey jizz.

So here's my rant.

Huzzah and tossflaps....


.....I like a villain plot but to be honest personally i was getting tired of everything being blamed on an alien race.
Think of "Vampires of venice" being actual vampire's, Flip me mind blowing shit.

It's a bit like when every Scooby- doo baddie is some guy in a mask.
Surely we can have human villains, after all we all know humans are the worst kind of monsters. (quoting Vincent Price in "The Monster club")

I'm not saying the new series is great, i'm just saying people are so Uckfed up by their own idea's and preconceptions that they won't go with anything remotely different.

I'm not P.C, i think whitewashing history is criminal, but personally i don't really think making kids aware of injustice in the world is a bad thing.

So i'm generally fine with the Rosa Parks/ Punjab episodes, the only thing i had a problem with was the pregnant bloke because it didn't progress the story and was bullshit.

Personally i though half of this season was decent, the problem is Chibnall, with his mundane everyday basis of stories and refusal to actually encompass the history of "Who" within his new series, is in effect alienating the core audience.



...Actually now i've thought about it i've decided i want a new series that is exactly the same as every other, ad infinitum until the end of time and everything to be exactly as i experienced it back in the Tom Baker era when i first saw it.

..Even if we have to exhume his corpse ( I do know he’s not dead yet) , mount it atop a dalek and drive it around remote control like.

Yeah, Screw it, let's do that.

How about a hybrid Baker/ Davros that we can wind up like an 80's Evel Kneivel and get it to jump ramps and shit.

Yep i want that !!

Basically i want Doctor Who to be precisely what i want and everything else is shit because i hate change and am really insecure.(cough)

...Actually Ballsacks to it i wan't Dr Who to die and never exist because it is not what i want, no other generation should ever ever experience one ounce of the wonder i experienced while watching "The Underwater menace" and masterpieces such as "The Web Planet" and the "Twin Dilemma".

..So stick that in your Aunt Bessie/Whomobile and reverse the polarities.

Tra la la ...not listening.

(Sarcasm.. Ahem ... or is it??)

By the way 42 i always thought was a shit episode.

Slitheen are farty bollocks.

Absorbaloff is toss but vaguely redeemed by being a Blue Peter competition villain or something like that.

Satan in the "Satan pit" did nothing apart from sit in his pit.

The Racnoss do nothing in Runaway Bride apart from stand in one spot, wow now that's a threat.

Fear Her is o.k till the Olympic torch shit.

Over 50% of the Christmas episodes are sentimental twattery and a wasted of celluloid or whatever it is now.

Nobody ever brought back the Draconians, which is frankly twat.

The most popular Doctor Tennant was the least Doctor, Doctor signifying that the young kids don't really give amonkeyfudge.

New, New york is shit.

They killed my favourite Black Dalek and made him into a Squidhead Cthulhu suited gangster twat.

The Master suddenly decided to go a bit glowy and jump around a bit and the Doctor shrunk into a parrot/ golem bag of shite.

There was a floaty bus in the desert or something, i lost interest.

O.k this week had a talking frog.

At least it wasn't a farting/glowing frog riding a bus covered in xmas decorations.

... Actually get me the Who office cuz they gonna lap that dogshite up.

...Is everybody happy now.

I think i'm having some kind of meltdown...

I think maybe my defence of the latest episode was a tenuous thread linking me to reality, now it's gone i'm left floating in space like Sandra Bullock or a lonely turd.

I saw a woman earlier in a fast food establishment eating ice cream before starting on chicken and fries. What's that all about.

Did someone reverse the polarity of reality?

At this point i'm wondering if the Muppets was the first reality show and waiting for Foxy Brown to be on the "Apprentice."

"Thanks for the opportunity Sugar".

There was a Doctor Who joke on Have i Got News For You this week, concerning its moral lesson messaging, a sign that the the mainstream media have noted the slightly preachy tone of the series.

....................

Bring on another female doctor. but next time make sure they at least give the role the gravitas it needs and not someone who thinks ending a sentence with a gurn is all that's needed. JW is utterly useless.
DT, PC, MS even CE all made he believe you are watching a character hundreds of years old, there's just nothing with her.
