Sitting Around Being Mindlessly Entertained
New, to me at least, Doctor Who on SciFi. I know this was the Christmas special in the UK a few months back (over the holidays, duh) but I didn’t catch it until last night. Wasn’t that impressed after all the hype of the Doctor’s holiday specials over the years, but I did like the bit with the Queen and her puppies evacuating London.
New Battlestar (awesome episode) on Friday. Loved the airlock scene.
Caught Forgetting Sarah Marshall at a matinee Saturday. Great movie. Loved that they didn’t try and rehabilitate the Kristen Bell characater and instead just kept bringing out more and more reasons to detest her, and really loved the puppets. I’m not sure I would have appreciated that part as much if I hadn’t seen Avenue Q last summer, but it worked for me yesterday and that’s what counts.
Season finale of Torchwood last night. This season kind of meandered a bit, and without spoiling things too much, the ending will hopefully lead to an opportunity to get it back on track. Also, JACK’S EVIL BROTHER!! I think that’s all I’ll say about him here.
ARGH! Cant wait to catch up!
Start with the Torchwood.
Ok, caught up on all (minus a Sarah Jane). This season of T’wood was much better than the first, but still not fantastic. I’m not sure if it’s all in the writing, or in the directing. It’s just all over the place, but all in all, about 50% -really- good.
Hopefully next season (if it’s picked up again) will see an even higher success rate!
