Jekyll

[gaspode]

Well with all the DW wibbling thats been going on (making anything I have to say superflous - except perhaps my prediction of the week - 'Oh Look - Jacks got a Broken Plot Device on his Wrist ;) ) no one seems to have mentioned a certain Steven Moffat's Jekyll ...

Bloody Great. IMHO.

Its well written, both funny and tense in the the right places with some genuinely creepy moments. Nesbit is suprisingly good at the duality role too.

If you missed it last night see it before part 2 next week.

I'm a little worried how its going to run for another 5 hour long episodes tho - still, Mr Moffat seldom disapoints ...

Oh and Gina Bellman ... I'm sorry but shes always going to be Jane to me...

I'm not so sure... shouldn't the Master's pillar be around somewhere...? I loved the Master when I was a kid - so great that John Simm's playing him now :-)

Jekyll - just watched it. Brilliant, if a little obviously predicatable ;-)

It's another 5 episodes..? Ummm.....

Gina Bellman - she'll always be Adam's girlfriend with the false teeth in the jar to me....

I'm waiting with bated breath as to how DJ ended up at the end of the universe ...

Given that RTD has said the McGann movie is cannon he was last seen being thrown down a link to a caged black hole ...

Even if that's ignored he was previously left stranded on a planet turning into a Cat ...

Nope Jacks space hopper it's going to be :)

Back to Jekyll - Yes 5 more episodes .. I really hope SM's got something up his sleeve ...

A bizarre part of me wants Hyde's corporate owners to be Torchwood :)

Well - It could happen ;)

There doesn't seem to be a repeat anywhere, bugger. I completely missed it and we were out last night. (Remembered DW of course, though.)

I noticed that too, I'm looking to see if I can find a download.

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

I can burn it to a disk if you like ...

[cobrabay.livejournal.com]

That's OK, found one now, a bunch have turned up on Mininova.

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

well - I can burn it to a disk if it would help ...

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooooooooooh. Yes please. :D

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

you'll have to get someone to tell me where to send it - or else I can give parts 1 and two to someone at the meet next week ...

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Email sent. :D

Oh. Hullo ;-)

I can drop it onto DVD too...

Aha! The advantage of distance vs. post... hmmm. Well, so long as I get it one way or the other (oo-err) I don't mind. :)

'brilliant' is a bit strong, I reckon. Interesting, a little hammy, and probably predictable, but I have to watch to see if my predictions are wrong!

ot 'muct see' for me in the same way season 2 of 'My name is Earl' is. Which says a lot about my drama threwshold atm.

Of course Irish Joe did always go off on a mad rant about JN, so it's possible I've been Pavolvian conditioned to mistrust.

Didn't see Jekyll on Saturday night, due to a fit of IKEA storage construction. Have it on TiVo (well, assuming the Virgin didn't turn the service off again!)

Was underwhelmed by Dr. Who.
The whole rocket to Utopia thing? Are we going to get a conclusion to that?
The poor (dead) bug girl? Why not make her human, and save a pot load of makeup work? (And as for taking the piss out of her speech patterns. That was just rude! And probably Gay!)
Jack and the magic torch? RTD has really stopped writing SF explanations, and has resorted to "And the doctor waves his magic wand".
Huge amounts of exposition while Jack does his magic trick. Or, more accurately: Jack doesn't do anything.

Gah!
Well, it was a setup for the final two episodes, so it ought to be judged as the first of a three-parter. But as a stand alone episode, there was so much missing.

Well, having finally retrieved from brother our video recorder and more crucially the tape he recorded for us while we were away, and watched both DW eps back to back after El went to sleep last night, I have to congratulate you on your powers of prediction!

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

lol - I watch way too much tv, thats all.

Here's my next major prediction ...

Re - The 'Flash Gordon Ming Ring' ending ...

OK - The doctor still has his spare hand full of regererative energy ... So ... Mrs Master has Ring thing (rememeber Paul Magann movie is cannon - we know the Daleks disentergrated the master and put his ashes in a box and he came back from that) ... SO ... we stick the ring on the hand and volla (alla Odd Job in Carry on Screaming) instant Master ...

Yes ?
