  1. Another picture of the lunar eclipse. That will be new wallpaper, then!
  2. I liked The Next Doctor and I wasn't as put out as some by Planet of the Dead, but I'm still not decided about The Waters of Mars. I think the thing is - with the latter and these last two episodes at least - we've been having "The Lonely Doctor" line rammed down our throats, and it's taken a large part of the joy of watching out of it for me.
  3. It's not a trailer for the first episode, it is a preview of the next series, but yes, it was the one shown after Confidential. Personally, I'm glad Tennant has now gone, I don't think the last two episodes were that great, and nice though some bits were, we had a big group goodbye at the end of the last series, so why re-hash it again?! Don't get me wrong, I think Tennant has been an excellent Doctor, but the sullen, brooding Doctor that we've had for the last year is one I can live without. I'm looking forward to seeing Matt Smith and Steven Moffat breathe some cheer back into the series.
  4. This might give you a better idea of what Matt Smith might be like . . . How cool does that look?! Roll on spring 2010!
  5. Watched this again [sober!] this afternoon. Baring one or two scenes it really is a load of old rubbish but, for some reason I cannot fathom, I still ended up with a huge grin on my face because of the multiple John Simms and Dalton's frothy vitriol. I'm beginning to suspect that this may need to be seen in concert with part two, but if that continues in a similar vein it's going to be a disappointing end to the Tennant years.
  6. Pff, light-weight! (Well done on managing over seven times the number of books I did, anyway!).
  7. Only 141 read, no push to 150?! (you still have 24 hours!).
  8. I must say, they are my favourite books in the series; after that they are far too indulgent and long winded.
  9. I'm kinda torn two ways; I didn't like the Master plotline, good though Simms is the character he is playing just isn't the Master and the cliff-hanger to that part was just plain silly. I think I may have said "Woo-hoo!" though, when I need to watch it again though, as it's all a bit blurry now (damn sherry, wine, brandy etc ).
  10. My Christmas haul included seasons six and seven of Deep Space Nine, colour me happy!
  11. There is a short interview with Jasper in this month's SFX magazine, talking about his new book Shades of Grey.
  12. I did look out for you there BJ, but, alas . . . Anyway, still no podcast, but a good summary of the evening, none the less. (what it fails to mention is that John Mullan had the sh*te ripped out of him repeatedly for not knowing what he was talking about!).
  13. . Very cool YouTube film! Did anyone see any meteors last weekend, by the way? I saw several in a 15 minutes period, would have been a lot better if it had been warmer and I had been outside!
  14. I quite like Pizza Express, but I wasn't very impressed when I last went in my local one a few months back, the service was poor and the pizza wasn't up to scratch either. We have a Nandos in town as well, but I can't be arsed fighting with half a bird - if I'm paying someone to cook for me I expect them to do all the work preparing the food!
  15. Awww, I thought that would take a while to get! Well done, Local Hero it is!
  16. Okay, what film does this come from? Normal. Extra normal.
  17. I'll put my thinking cap on, and post something when I get home!
  18. Alien. (or possibly one of it's sequels).
  19. Just read that Stargate Universe has been renewed for a second series (I won't post a link to the article as it is rather spoilery!).
  20. I will watch it, and I'm trying to keep an open mind - we'll just have to wait and see, I guess!
