Doctor Who

Just thought I'd mention a cute story about my daughter. She's just old enough to sit in the high chair, which has legs that taper out with casters on the bottom, as most do. Recently saw my wife rolling her across the kitchen floor in it, navigating around the table, and had to laugh at how much the movement resembled a Dalek. So, the first thing out of my mouth was "Ex-ter-minate! Ex-ter-minate!" Which made my wife laugh. Now, we do that whenever we roll her around in the chair. She's the cutest little Dalek around.

A cute story, AndyC. With parents like that, you'll have your daughter a fan of "Doctor Who" in no time at all.

just bought "the pyramids of mars" today. i'll probably watch it over the weekend, and thoughts will be posted on my dvdaficionado page.

I first started watching 'Dr. Who' on my local public television station when Peter Davison was the Doctor. They would show both him and Tom Baker a lot at first. It was weird (for me anyway) to see Davison as the Doctor because he'd been on the tv-series version of 'All Creatures Great And Small'. Sure, there were no production values to speak of, but that was made up by great acting and storytelling. I haven't seen an ep in years, and would like to see the series in order (including the newer eps).

just picked up "horror of fang rock" at borders on friday. not bad. pretty mediocre compared to the other tom baker discs i have, but the extra features make it worthwhile.

i think i'm going to try to track down a copy of "the key to time" next.

my cousin gave me three burned discs containing the 2005 series. it actually isn't as bad as i figured it'd be.

even still, i felt i needed to purchase the 6 disc, 26-episode "The Key to Time" boxed set from borders when i was on my way home from work on friday. pretty good stuff. the discs themselves are pretty light on extra features compared to some of the stand-alone discs, but considering that they include both commentary tracks and production info subtitles, i really can't complain too much.

Davison also starred in the Campion series, which seems to be what he bases his Doctor Who on. The man can run the acting gamut from A to B....

I thought 'Campion' ran a nearly decade after he was on 'Dr. Who'....

Yes, or to be more precise, "Campion" ran some six to seven years after his first appearance on "Dr. Who."

i finished watching the 05 season the other night. the two-part finale was AWESOME. it's just a masterfully directed story.

i'm wondering, did anyone else catch the suggestions that captain jack is bisexual?

just bumping this up, for the sake of convenience.
