So, overall, it was better than I thought it was going to be. I absolutely loved every minute Pam was onscreen. I think that she needs to have her own spinoff. I'm sure that ratings wouldn't be an...else, I'll edit this post. If you read this and the random, crazy, stream of thought didn't bother you, well then, congratulations. This has been my review of Season 3, Episode 1 - Pack of Wolves

Doctor Who s02e07 - The Sensorites Twenty-eighth century Earthlings are being held hostage by passive-aggressive aliens in footed pajamas, who aren't much of a threat considering they're afraid of the... Isn't it a better thing to travel hopefully than arrive? Carol: Oh, anything's better than circling around a planet forever and being kept alive.  Alive.  It's been more like a living death.

Recommended reading of the moment is Watership Down , a novel by Richard Adams.  I read it when I was in high school, after recalling the animated film from 1978 that I saw as a child.  It's essentially...and the Black Rabbit of Inl é , who functions as the Grim Reaper of bunnies, were probably my favorite parts of the story. Easter Bunny, NOOOO! At any rate, this is a good book.  Read it.

My mom knows that I'm a huge fan of manga, and that every week I read a certain number of chapters that come out online.  While she doesn't know anything about the stories themselves, she always asks me...made of, um, fire, but the other guy was made of lava and lava beats fire, so... Mom: ... Me: ... Mom: The Japanese are a very violent people. I suppose she has a point. In manga, anyway

Doctor Who s01e06 - The Aztecs By this point, it seems clear that the villain of the series is the inventor of swinging doors.  Any time a swinging door appears in the shot, one can safely assume that... The Doctor: Yes, I made some cocoa and got engaged. Barbara Wright: Maybe it's this place.  I just feel sometimes as if all the people who've died here are watching, waiting for me to die too

Doctor Who s01e05 - The Keys of Marinus This episode arc was a riot, what with the diabolical hypnotist brains with slug-eyes and the unnecessarily slow-moving forks of doom. Staring Contest World...death, I tell you.  Death. The Doctor: But I don't believe that man was made to be controlled by machines.  Machines can make laws, but they cannot preserve justice.  Only human beings can do that

Doctor Who s01e02 - The Daleks Team "Holy Christ Get Us Back to Earth" is taken hostage by what appear to be sentient alien trash cans, which prove to be surprisingly menacing despite having plungers...sight of the great Kublai Khan, kowtow!  Kowtow before the warlord of warlords, mighty and fearful in his strength!  Kowtow!  Kowtow! The Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, I'll manage it. Vizier: KOWTOW

...song (ooOOooOO), but I watched the first episode (the very first, from November 1963).  I'm following way too many stories right now to give it my full attention, but it seems like a fun show. Let's recap!  With quotes! Doctor Who s01e01 - An Unearthly Child Cavemen. They can't make fire or tell a stick from a corpse, but they can hold rousing debates in modern English about their electoral...

They don't make it very difficult to guess who the episodic villains are.  On the other hand, bugs crawling in people's ears are always fun, in a Wrath of Khan kinda way. **** Morgana has fallen...King.  Later, Gaius is re-instated and the King apologizes for doubting him, though he also makes it clear that the crusade against magic must continue. This doesn't bode well. To be continued...

Another legendary Arthurian figure shows up, and a very dashing one at that. **** Enter Lancelot. He's a decent, hardworking guy, who dreams of one day becoming a knight of Camelot.  Unfortunately... and he decides to leave Camelot and work to better himself elsewhere. But we could have been BFFs... And so (Sir?) Lancelot rides out into the world to seek his destiny. To be continued...
