The original series is excellent television though.

I really enjoyed Enterprise, for the record.

The first two seasons of TNG have aged really badly it not until best of both world's it hit its stride, out of them all deeps space nine was my favourite as is darker in tone and with the dominion war the federation is not as goody goody as we think, mind like TNG it didn't really pick up till the third/ fouth season then with the war it was one big story arc.

I also rate The Time Meddler. It's quite controversial as there's definitely implied rape in there.

Also The Tenth Planet...so good they remade it four stories later.

Watched these over the last couple of weeks.


E-Space Trilogy.

These are the order that I enjoyed them.

State of decay

Full Circle

Warriors gate

People can complain about the companions of today but they have nothing on that annoying bastard of mathematical excellence, at least I have earth shock to look forward to.


Tenth Planet

First time seeing this up one and it didn't disappoint, important for two reasons in Dr Who history the first appearance of the Cybermen and first regeneration. The Dr and his companions end up at a arctic space tracking center, soon a mysterious planet appears and no long after the Cyberman invade. Very tense and claustrophobic with it taking place in the small base and also very chilling well at least for me as I thought the Cybermen very creepy with their none moving mouths and sing song voices.

They are terrific the first Cybermen. Their cloth faces and odd song type voices only add to the eeriness.

There are rumours that series 10 has a Cyberman origins story which hopefully uses the cloth faces once again.

I'm still hoping they will do something with Susan, really surprised that they haven't yet.

Its his granddaughter after all these years you should think he would try to find her or at least find out what happened to her.
