Eagerly anticipating the back half this fall, though.<br /><br />I'm also waiting for "Miracle Day" to hit me the way that "Children of Earth" did, although I'm confident that we haven't seen the best of MD yet.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-37041240424625151242011-07-29T15:26:14.958-04:002011-07-29T15:26:14.958-04:001) RE: Movies - I would like to point out that ...1) RE: Movies - I would like to point out that 'Attack The Block' officially opens in Toronto today at the AMC Yonge & Dundas. It is the most fun I've had in a theater for quite some time, and you simply MUST see it. Not to be missed.<br /><br />2) RE: Breaking Bad - This show? Holy crap, dude. (Now if I can only get you started on 'Justified'...)<br /><br />3) RE: The "Team" Blogs - I really, really love this idea. Ideas brewing.

Every season now there's a "person in captivity" storyline, and this year's, with Jason, has been off-putting. I feel the show has really come off the tracks as it feels the need to create significant story arcs for every character. It reminds me of something a college professor once told me about teaching: "You can either teach a little bit about a lot, or a lot about a little." "True Blood" falls firmly in the former group, as it tries to pack in so much in each episode that it never allows any story to breathe or develop beyond the superficial.<br /><br />"Breaking Bad," on the other hand, is significantly awesome! I am finding myself becoming as interested in this show as I did about "LOST." It's easily the best written show on TV, and the style and acting sets it apart even more. As a result, I'm wondering if you know of any attempts out there to write an episode guide. The show has proven, especially over the last two episodes, to reference its own history and reveal a bigger, more challenging story.<br /><br />I still can't get into Dr. Who, but I'll keep trying.Ambivalentmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340690686932188014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-28586271314278166712011-07-29T12:01:47.821-04:002011-07-29T12:01:47.821-04:00I've got the sonic screwdriver of which you sp...I've got the sonic screwdriver of which you speak.

I have just finished reading the fifth trade paperback, and am about to order the final three, and I'd be interested to see other people's thoughts about it. <br /><br />I love Doctor Who, and I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the Tennant seasons, who is probably my favourite Doctor. Having said that, the current season with Matt Smith, Season 6, that we are half way through may well be my favourite season so far. <br /><br />Also, have you, or do you intend to watch Torchwood? Unfortunately I haven't got around to watching the first 2 seasons on DVD, but I watched the 3rd when it was on TV, and am currently watching the 4th (partly written by Jane Espenson), which is great. <br /><br />I look forward to reading your posts about these things.Quarksnoreply@blogger.com
