It is pretty crap...but I can't stop watching as Jorjie is proper fit....I mean Emma Watson Premier League fit....total babe (the actress is 17 nearly 18....she only plays a 14 year old in the show).

*wonders how many of you are google image searching*

K-9 DOES NOT LAUGH

WTF

I GOT YER FULL-ON INAPPROPRIATE NERD RAGE RIGHT HERE

Never change, Dan.

It doesn't bother me as I (challop warning) never liked K-9. Can totally understand the desecration angle though.

admit it viceroy,leee,dan, kingfish etc you're gonna torrent this, aren't you?

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.

I wonder who is Champions League Fit?

These rubbish alien menaces.

I WANT TO CRUSH THAT THING, AND THEN CRUSH THE PERSON WHO DESIGNED IT, AND THEN CRUSH THE PERSON WHO MADE THE DESIGNER DESIGN IT, AND SHOVE THE RESULTANT PASTE UP THE ASS OF THE PERSON WHO BUILT IT

I felt the same way about the new big & tall daleks.

WAHT

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"?

did Aussies have something to do with this?

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

bats with spikes in them, that may or may not be on fire

but it's john leeson!

preferably rabid

xp: John Leeson will be spared; I doubt he wrote the script or submitted the designs

adam did the aussies produce this?

I wonder if everyone at Dan's place of work knows why he is in a bad mood?

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.

(i = adam)

youre as bad as me & dan for getting a new account.

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.

xp I had to for reasons that are too annoying to impart here. Who are you?

I'm the guy who usually invited your multiple usernames into chatz

agh crap I can't remember back that far, sorry. Once I know it will be obvious. btw multiple usernames for chatz was because AIM kept blocking the Linux client I was using.

I know that. I am one who likes pfunk

okay my mind has been blown; MEKHI PHIFER IS GOING TO BE ON TORCHWOOD

wau

xp OH AHH. See that was my first thought but I forgot/didn't know you had a DW thing going on. Was thinking aldo but didn't remember there being a chatz assoc.

haha we spoke DW a lot, you really do have a bad memory!

sorry ;_;

I remember the funk discussions obv.

lololol apparently I posted this K-9 monstrosity on Facebook in April 2009

haha talk of bad memories!!

please say that you said you liked it in 2009!

Did I mention that I gave up on DW this year? Because yeah. K-9 would probably be more fulfilling tbh.

I had the exact same "STOP RUINING MY CHILDHOOD" reaction, sorry

I like matt smith but the stories weren't really any good. Same with most of the Tennant era really. God help us if we ever get a colin baker type shit doctor.

I thought both "The Lodger" and the one with the Angels was very good. I think the big problem was that they had issues defining what the interplay between Amy and The Doctor should be; the initial episode strikes a very good balance but as the season goes along she sometimes veers into budget-Donna territory and isn't very convincing as a result.

Most of the stories were saved by Matt Smith's surprisingly great Doctor, though.

Season 5 is amazing, u mad. xp

Like, I love this season to a degree that I have to judge myself for liking it *too* much.

Rory was great pretty much the entire time he was onscreen, too.

All the Moffat-penned ones were good, all the ones written by others were a bit balls.

Lodger was the best of those though.

I liked the characters, they were great, but the stories just weren't there and haven't been for ages.

oh, and "Amy's Choice" was pretty great, too!

yeah actually I did like this season a lot

The only one I really disliked was the Silurian two-parter.

Oh yeah, forgot about Amy's Choice. I didn't think it lived up to its potential, but it was definitely decent.

Back to K-9 for a moment: how can this show be anything other than total garbage?

NO LAUGHING = NO K-9 THEREFORE ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ROBOT DOG AND HOW ABOUT YOU CALL IT ANOTHER NAME

In other news, I'm very much in love with Matt Smith
