The marathon continues… 8:50 AM PST The Krotons (movie version.) This was my first full Troughton story, and I still consider it a favorite. And why not… It’s Robert Holmes’ first story for the series. It also features Philip Madoc in his first role for the series (though he wasContinue Reading
My Doctor Who marathon finally resumes today (a week after it started…) 6:10 PM PST The Dominators (movie version.) This has never been my favorite Troughton story, though it’s better than some of the worst Hartnell stories. I think it was more a perception on my part based on theContinue Reading
Quick note on my Doctor Who marathon (took yesterday off) I have several of the reconstructions, some of which I have recently viewed. I’ve already commented on the Power of the Daleks, and it’s been a while since I watched the Highlanders. I vaguely recall it being a fairly goodContinue Reading
The Doctor Who marathon continues this morning (because I’m working late today…) 8:30 AM PST The Gunfighters (movie version.) The much maligned western adventure isn’t as bad as many would claim. I didn’t even find the ballad annoying. Even the accents didn’t make me cringe (like so many other programs.)Continue Reading
Day two of my personal Doctor Who marathon began at 9:05 AM PST with Planet of Giants (movie version.) [BTW it’s now 9:15 PST, the crew has just figured out that they have been made small, and it’s the actual anniversary now – 5:15 PM GMT 11/23/1963…] A great littleContinue Reading
Doctor Who celebrates its 40th anniversary this weekend (the 23rd at 5:15 PM GMT, to be precise.) To celebrate, I am doing a marathon of the complete serials of the first two Doctors (with brief stops to change the laundry…) So first off: 1:00 PM PST An Unearthly Child (movieContinue Reading
I don’t want to talk about freaks being charged with crimes, embassies being bombed, Austrians as governor. No, this entry is dedicated to a few of the random spots I’ve found myself visiting on the World Wide Web (and that’s what having a bLog is all about, isn’t it…) FirstContinue Reading
Every now and then a commercial comes along that makes you want to spit milk out of your nose (providing that you are actually drinking milk at the time.) Tonight I saw such an advertisement… A guy in the woods, standing by his rugged SUV, is talking about doing aContinue Reading
NBC has already axed it’s version of the BBC comedy Coupling. Ok, initially it sucked – BIG TIME!!! But it was staring to break away from being a poor carbon copy, and starting to find it’s own way in the world (well that third one I didn’t recognize as aContinue Reading
“Mommies and daddies always come back.” is a wonderful quote to comfort young children when their parents go out and leave them at home. In this instance, it’s a sad statement. I have been described as ten pounds of sap in a five pound sack, so this first episode ofContinue Reading
