My thoughts too.

Loved the way the grip of the black hole slowly turned the spaceship around before it started to draw it in as well. There's no excuse for ignorance of basic physics.

I'm not totally convinced yet. This episode set the scene well but it's all going to hinge on the conclusion. Perhaps I'm just in a pessemistic mood but I detected a bit of padding in the first and I'm wondering if this might have been better as a single parter. Considering how much was crammed into...

ROFL !! How about .....

The Minbari Okey-Cokey Society really knew how to let their hair down.

Relic Hunter

Finally caught an episode of it the other night, what a pile of cack! The final straw was watching the cast measuring radioactivity levels by using a digital multi-meter set to 'resistance'. I've seen some right old b0ll0cks on TV in my time but this show proves the medium still has further to fall....

The ending was....unexpected, I'll admit, lol. Don't get me started on the ending of The Ninth Gate. The book's finale was a lot more .... well, normal. But then again Polanski had almost done away entirely with the Dumas Club subplot (which is probably why the movie isn't called The Dumas Club) so...

Remarkable. Dan Brown is a multi-millionaire for writing prose that any halfway decent fourteen year old English student would get a rap across the knuckles for daring to hand in to his teacher. Yet nobody actually buys the books or goes to see the film and if they do, nobody confesses to actually e...

It's a decent enough book, though more a page turner than anything of literary worth. Great for reading on the bus or before you go to sleep as none of the chapters are more than five pages. You can also feel smug because the puzzles are easy to solve yourself, well before the characters solve them,...

It's too easy. Somehow there are still Cybermen in the parallel Earth. Jackie, Rose and the Doc go and help Mickey and Rose's parallel dad defeat them with optional location filming in Paris if budget allows. Rose decides she's had enough gadding about the universe and opts to stay on parallel Earth...

... and to recycle an old joke. Jackie ends up transformed into the one being in the universe for whom wearing cheap gold jewellery means certain death. Oh, the irony :lol: Still, one universe has live human dad and dead cybermum, the other has dead dad and human singlemum. They can never meet ... b...

... and they go and get rid of Mickey just as he turns into a well-rounded and enjoyable character

Or is that going too far?
