Science Fiction. SF. Sci-fi. Skiffy. Crickets Fucking.

Right now, I've been really involved in watching Doctor Who. The 2007 season was incredibly good. It got to the point where each episode's writing got better and better.

The only bad thing I can see, is that Kylie Minogue will be in the Xmas episode this year..but, I'll pass judgement when the time comes. Also, do try and check out any Doctor Who staring John Pertwee..my absolute favorite Doctor.

Hrmm..oh! I just recently watched the Cube series of movies. The first one was pretty good, and the best of the three. Shitty acting aside, it was enjoyable..the other two...'eh not so much.

And I second Farscape..the dvd's are slowly arriving in my mailbox. Gotta love it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for Kylie Minogue, Billie Piper did ok as a companion, so I don't see how another pop star (who's got acting experience) could do any worse. The fans seem more concerned about Catherine Tate coming back as a full time companion next year. Not being British, I'm not familiar with her work, but she seemed somewhat shrill to be tagging along with the Doctor all the time.

Jon Pertwee was the Doctor I saw the most growing up (<3 Bessie), but I'm partial to the 5th or 7th Doctors myself.

I really wanted to watch the episodes with John Simm in, but never did as I thought that those episodes would be as bad as the first few. As for Catherine Tate being The Doctors companion next, well, I sure hope that they don't do it. I would boycott the entire series if they brought her back. All she does is shout and shrill all the time. This why I hated the Christmas episode with her in.

I suppose I just disagree..at least with the Catherine Tate thing. The Daleks in New York episodes were probably the most dreadful of this season..but episodes like Utopia, The Sounds of Drums, and Blink more then made up for the few bad episodes this season.

Anywho, the whole thing with Kylie Minogue is..well, have you seen Street Fighter the movie? Friggin awful..

And I really liked the X-mas episode..I suppose just a difference of opinion, but still, I liked Donna as a companion.

Back to the topic once more(sorry for all the Who talk)..while more or less anime, I recently acquired the original Astroboy series..sure its a kid's show..but still very much enjoyable for the old school anime/sci-fi fan.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
