Sherlock, Nik, is written by Steven Moffat, and also Mark Gatiss, he of 'Mickeylove' (League of Gentleman) fame, who has also written four episodes of DW, including the one that aired today! Or last night. The time difference throws me. He has the best nose on television. He's the reason that whenever I see a fire engine I automatically say 'Fireman!' in a silly voice. He's brilliant, and you should watch Sherlock. He's also Lazarus in the DW episode 'The Lazarus Experiment'.Batcabbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609077644806458692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-12265593966003089202011-09-04T08:46:31.459-04:002011-09-04T08:46:31.459-04:00I have a quibble with you, Batcabbage - how could ...I have a quibble with you, Batcabbage - how could you not recommend Sherlock? :)Colleen/redeem147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-55989851090343516562011-09-04T01:30:33.741-04:002011-09-04T01:30:33.741-04:00There is one thing to like about "Daleks in M...There is one thing to like about "Daleks in Manhatten": an American character (from Tennessee, I believe) refers to a pick-up truck as a "lorry."

I've found that my favourite episodes of DW are written by him, and when I found out he was taking over the showrunner duties in Season 5, I squeed quite a bit. I think he's a genius. Check out Coupling, the series where I first met him (so to speak), and then check out his mini-series Jekyll, one of the most brilliant adaptations of a classic story ever (it stars James Nesbitt, who is an acting GOD).<br /><br />Martha was my favourite companion of all of them, for all the reasons you stated: smart, funny, COMPLETELY GORGEOUS.... and the unrequited love storyline I thought was handled brilliantly. I also loved the Master (mostly because of previously held love from Life on Mars) and Batkitty tells me that the reason there was such great chemistry (or the sort of chemistry you can have with your greatest nemesis, at least) is because John Simm and David Tennant are great friends in real life. All in all, a great season! Glad you're enjoying Who!Batcabbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609077644806458692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-90505576857776285632011-09-03T18:58:40.558-04:002011-09-03T18:58:40.558-04:00Dear Christina Boulard, your baby booties with the...Dear Christina Boulard, your baby booties with the big buttons on the side are the cutest and coolest baby shoes ever!Joan Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513335615114222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-3674620311472861232011-09-03T11:45:38.712-04:002011-09-03T11:45:38.712-04:00This is funny Nikki because I often have different...This is funny Nikki because I often have different opinions from you, for example on aspects of Lost ;-) but what you said about every episode in s.3 agrees with my opinion as well. As you can see from the above comments, the 2-part Dalek episode is not a big favorite. However a lot of people also don't like the last 2 episodes of the series, but I'm with you on these, they were really good (except for the cheesy doctor-floating thing at the end).<br /><br />Blink is awesome in its scariness, but there's more to it. It has wonderful writing and great acting. You actually care about people who we will (probably) never see again. I feel like crying every time Billy and Kathy arrive on screen. It says a lot about this episode that it's considered one of the best nuWho episodes, and the Doctor barely appears.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-24120506223839187782011-09-02T22:43:53.765-04:002011-09-02T22:43:53.765-04:00This makes me want to watch this season again SO B...This makes me want to watch this season again SO BADLY.

Say it backwards. I'd rather have Tennant than Kiefer. :)<br /><br />I wish I could say I love Matt like I love David, but I like him a lot.<br /><br />Graeme and Robert? and Nikki.

They match wits with The Doctor and Amy Pond in an epic 2-parter down the road a bit, with their legendary creepiness fully intact. <br /><br />I like Donna Noble, but I really enjoy her Gramps as well. I was never overly fond of Rose's Mum. Martha is gorgeous (as is her sister, Tish), but, despite the easy-on-the-eyes factor, Martha is my least favourite companion. <br /><br />Nikki, I think you'll love the next Doctor, too. As much as I loved Tennant, I accepted Matt Smith as The Doctor right out of the gate. He plays TD with considerable flair, and, personally I think his 1st season is brilliant.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-77582474534935719882011-09-02T17:41:27.552-04:002011-09-02T17:41:27.552-04:00I was extremely confused when I first watched '...I was extremely confused when I first watched 'Blink', because I was sure I recognised the story. Well, parts of the story. The parts with the Weeping Angels were new, and it was a bit more grown up, but Sally Sparrow was familiar, as was finding her name behind the wallpaper.<br /><br />I then remembered where I knew it from. At Christmas in 2005, when I was still young enough to enjoy reading annuals, I got the 2006 Doctor Who Annual, which contained a short Doctor Who story called '"What I Did on My Christmas Holidays" by Sally Sparrow', written by Stephen Moffat. You can read online here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/2007/blink_annual.shtml<br /><br />'Blink' is a great episode, one of my favourites, and it introduces the Weeping Angels, who are probably the most famous new aliens introduced into the series.Quarksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-57938567300215223422011-09-02T14:12:19.129-04:002011-09-02T14:12:19.129-04:00First, Nikki, THANK YOU!

Getting to chat with you was definitely one of the highlights of my first ever con, and I promise it won't be the last time we meet! :)<br />For those of you that haven't met her, Nikki is even more warm and welcoming and friendly and BEAUTIFUL in person! <br /><br /><br />Now, I LOVE it when i see any blog post from you pop up on my FB feed, but I especially love it when Doctor Who blog posts pop up!!<br /><br />The rhino's in space were so much fun! I always laugh at the bunions bit!<br /><br />The Shakespeare Code was just 'eh' for me, but I really enjoyed Gridlock. I loved Brannigan, and we see the death of The Face of Boe (*sad face*), and the end, where the Doctor finally opens up to Martha is beautiful.<br /><br />You're not alone in your dislike for the Dalek episodes or The Lazarus Experiment. I honestly don't know many DW fans that like them!<br />They ARE boring and slow and a little silly, really. <br /><br />But I AM surprised you didn't like 42! <br /><br />Human Nature and Family of Blood are BRILLIANT! I was waiting for you to see Vicerys (before Vicerys!)! Wasn't he just fantastic in this role??<br />Those two episodes are definitely in my top 10!<br /><br />And Blink. Ah, Blink. The reason I will never again take my eyes off any statue (even the one of Queen Victoria in a local park!) as I walk by. ;)<br /><br />This is Moffat at his very best and, in my eyes, the man is neck in neck with Joss in brilliance.<br /><br />I loved every single moment in Blink.<br />You might be interested to know that people STILL want to see Sally Sparrow as the Doctor's companion in the future!<br /><br />John Simm as the Master...It will be difficult for me to accept anyone else in this role if they ever decide to bring him back. He was the epitome of evil!<br /><br />One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention...<br />Captain Jack IS The Face of Boe!<br /><br />Did you laugh as hard as I did when I saw that part the first time?! <br />Ah, I just LOVE that idea!!<br /><br />Can't wait for your post on season 4! If you loved Donna in The Runaway Bride, you'll just adore her in the next season.<br />Season 4 is my favourite, Donna is my favourite companion and some of the episodes are absolutely mind-blowing!Christina Bnoreply@blogger.com
