Sort of Doctor Who related. Anyone catch any of the Catherine Tate series? It's not bad if you like sketch comedy. It reminds me of Tracy Almond(?) stuff where she plays all these different characters.
no, I've missed out on damn near all of season three.
Season three was pretty damn good.. especially " The Family Of Blood."
Eh. The best part was that kid who played the teenager possessed by the alien. Aside from that, I thought that whole 2-parter was mostly balls.
Snarf, how can you like Joss Whedon's dreck and think anything else is too "touchy-feely"?
Please. The human Doctor was a racist, elitist, arrogant snob. Like we're supposed to give a rat's ass if he can't be with what's-her-name.
Remove the racist part and you have the ninth Doctor, as well as a few other incarnations. It's a very human story. More than what I've ever seen from Wheadon.

It was ok. At least now I know why the planet is impossible.. there is no way a planet can defy the extreme gravity of a nearby black hole.
The aliens look partially what I think the aliens from "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel " ought to look like.
I actually really like this two-parter. The commercials really break the mood, though. You should try it again on DVD. The second-part is really freaking good, in my opinion.
BTW, fun Who fact: The man who does the voice of "Sutekh" in Tom Baker's Pyramids of Mars is the dark "voice" you hear in these episodes. Very nice...

Cool!
another Who fun fact: I forget his name, but the guy who played Admiral Piet in Empire Strikes Back was in Pyramids Of Mars.. he was the bald dude with the mustache.
I'm a big Doctor Who fan. Its cool ya'll have a thread dedicated to the show. For what my two cents are worth. I loved the ninth doctor, I really think he brought alot of life back to the show. The tenth Doc is growing on me. I did not care for much for season two, but season three had some very good episodes. (Blink, Family of Blood) John Sims was an excellent Master. Doc 10 is coming into his own. I'll keep watching.

Holy crap! You're alive? Welcome back, "Tayden"!
And, I agree exactly with your assessment of the modern series. I think Tennant is finally growing into his own Doctor. Meanwhile, Eccleston's 9th Doctor was "the star that burns brightest, burns quickest" of the Docs. I loved his incarnation, and hope I will get to glimpse him once more one day...
Yep. I finally have DSL again so I thought I would check everybody out. I've been a million miles since last I was here but not a whole lot has changed on the site. Just the way I like it

The house Pyramids of Mars was filmed in was owened by Mick Jagger, who was in Freejack with Emilio Estevez, who was in Young Guns with Keifer Sutherland who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.
Who won best drama and best actor awards in Britian's TV award show.
