Watching the interview with West Country News on the Revenge of the Cybermen disc, I have become convinced this was Eugene Levy's template for Mitch in A Mighty Wind.

"The Lodger" was fantastic.
I'm surprised so many people rate this episode, I thought it was unbearable. Easily the worst of the last series for me. I didn't like Victory of the Daleks much at first, but I've softened on it a bit now. It was designed as a silly, colourful, knockabout thing; it didn't quite succeed but is mostly harmless. Saying that I was kinda dreading Gatiss' Sherlock episode, but it was really good.

What didn't you like about it? I thought it was pretty good stuff with a more interesting proxy companion and a really great example of 11 making his alien weirdness into an asset when dealing with people rather than a liability.

There were three episodes I hated: Victory of the Daleks, and the two-parter with the Silurians. Otherwise, I thought the season was very enjoyable and probably my favorite of the new series (I keep waffling between this and the first season w/Eccleston).

I thought the Silurian story was okay, but mostly because I thought it was kind of hilarious how many times the Doctor told that woman she was a horrible, horrible person
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link
That part was funny, but the Silurians just really annoyed me. They are like the Shakey Mos of aliens.
― ô_o (Nicole), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought it was a little problematic that all of the male were reasonable and the females were bloodthirsty xenophobes, although thinking back I think the entire warrior class was female...?
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:41 (thirteen years ago) link
xps I dunno, I think the humour was a bit too broad for my taste, but mainly the writing for the Doctor seemed really... off. His character didn't feel consistent with the rest of the series. Something felt amiss anyway. I've only watched it once though. I'll give it another crack when I buy the boxset - which'll be the first time I'll do so since series one. Like Nicole, I think this and the Eccles season have been the most enjoyable.
The second Silurian episode was terrible, the first was okay though. I did quite like how the Silurians were redesigned as a - mainly - female race of lizard warriors.
As for the 'classic' series, I'm doing that thing where I'm going through the lot in chronological order. Slowly, in my case, via an online DVD rental service. Last one rented was Dalek Invasion of Earth, the last story to feature Susan. Which at least means I won't have to hear Carol Anne Ford's story of how she rescued a (real) lizard from the set this one time. And Hartnell is great.
― And don't forget the joker (DavidM), Friday, 13 August 2010 15:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Hartnell really is great; I wish stories like "Marco Polo" were still in existence
be very interested to get your take on Susan vs Vicki

It doesn't bother me as I (challop warning) never liked K-9. Can totally understand the desecration angle though.
― I mean Emma Watson Premier League fit (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I somehow grabbed the first 9 episodes of this several months ago. Haven't watched it yet though. Not liking the new K9 build. He's not boxy enough.

At least the new big & tall Daleks had precedent; ever seen any of the pics of the Emperor Dalek from Troughton's "Evil of the Daleks"?

The only problem I have with nu-Daleks is the rubbish plots.
can we get back to the matter at hand, which is that this new K-9 is a fucking travesty and we owe it to future generations to hunt it down and beat it with bats

It's shot here because it's cheaper (or at least it was before our dollar went atomic). The bits that I saw featured British parts played by Australian actors with appalling accents. I don't know who bankrolls it.

The project is being overseen by Baker;[6][7] the television series concept was developed by Australian writers Shane Krause and Shayne Armstrong, in association with (Bob) Baker and Paul Tams.[10] ... In July 2007, the Australian Film Finance Corporation approved funding for the series, and that the programme had been pre-sold to Network Ten.[11] The Pacific Film and Television Commission (PFTC) (subsequently renamed Screen Queensland) also provided additional financing.[10]
Kids' television is pretty much the only good production coming out of Australia atm but I don't think think counts.
