victory of the what now?!
this post it a bit late.(because i'm the doctor) but seriously, i really did not have time to make a actual post on the count that i was in pain from a dental operation. so, here is what i think about the victory of the dalek.
Unanimously, i would have to say that the spitfire in space was epic. Not in the way that RTD make epic thing which is like leaving kids in the wild and hoping for the best. Churchill was okay. I mean ian’s (yes, in this blog, I call people on a first name basis because that is who I roll) acting was great. He plays Churchill in a way that people from the international community would recognize as Churchill. The dalek are really evil. I know in stating a fact but kill your own kind because they are not ‘pure’ is downright nazi-est thing to do. Bluffing the daleks with cookies was awesome. My brother (he watches it when I watch it so I never watch it with him because he asks a lot of questions and I get annoyed) pointed out that it look like a dewberry (a popular biscuit in the Philippines) and I was flabbergasted. I know they call it a jammie doger but I’m having a fangasm to see the relative thing in doctor who that connect with my childhood
Why is amy saving the day? I know it’s always good to for a companion to save the world once and a while but this is not amy who. She is not the main character of the show….or is she. The new dalek look ehh, I say ‘taste the rainbow’. My brother says ‘go! go! Power dalek’ (I know it doesn’t sound much but let give it a try). The only thing that I have a beef on the new dalek is the collar. I like how clean the collar but the place where the plunder and the gun should have a different design. They look imprisoned. The ending was not good. bracewell the android is a bomb and the only way to stop it was to be human. And why is amy going on the path of Martha. I love Martha but she was tainted by the unreplied love from the doctor and I don’t want that again.
Overall, please spare us from another dalek episode. Make it like the peter Davidson era. Just one dalek episode. just to satisfy the fanboys.

meh!!!!!!!
I just watch the second episode of doctor who the beast below and it’s a bit ‘meh’ for me. There are good bit, bad bit, and the new theme tune. I really didn’t like the theme tune and as a person who has the power to move forward and backwards in time, I skip the whole she-bang.
Let’s face it, this episode is the eleventh hour part 2. But this time it’s about Amy. Not exactly about Amy but more of what Amy know about the doctor. There are some points in the episode that explains to Amy what the doctor is, on a side more, that ‘we are only observers’ bit that was B.S. and Amy knows it. (your first episode was one of your companion making fire. he didn’t invert fire but more timiy wimiy wobbly-wobbly. I lost the argument)
The smilers are creepy. And Moffat just made a PSA about having low grades (if you flunk a test the smiles will get you hwahwahwhahwhawaaaa . it’s stupid )surely it’s not going to work. Kids are too smart for that – don’t underestimate the kiddies. But plot wise, contribution to the story, maybe because since the eleventh no one has died. Even the sletheen killed a guy or two. The winders are the Ipad of this story. I know they are the one who keep the smilers running but u hate what they wear, that jedi outfit. I will not like the cosplay it will produce. Fans can buy a jedi costume and a cuckoo clock key and presto. The easiest doctor who costume since the gasmask zombies from empty child/doctor dances. Men wearing black military fatigue will be more relevant that that lot.
I love Liz ten. She maybe a cross between lauren copper and the girl who can hear thoughts form misfits but she has the sense of royalty and I will love to be her subject, Makes me also think that the royal family is part timelord, Because the doctor banged the virgin queen…..allegedly. but it’s cannot now. Two authors confirmed my logic and I’ll post a tread in the forums. The voting booth was a bit matrix-est but the production team been frank on using the reference. They even use a man that looks like col. Sanders to deliver the meassage. I love the new plot element of the memory wipe. Now I can have that function on my sonic screwdriver. (it’s more imaginary than real)………. Moving on.
The space whale is back. I adored the episode ‘meat’ it was sad and a really great use for reease. I love it’s mouth and again it’s reference to star wars. (It Moffat calling out to spilburg? Moffat to spilburg: steven!! Get me out of this 46 year old show)
The doctor’s dilemma was short. I wanted it more expanded and explained. . he can also be mean and angry ( my theory is because the previous version (tennant) did not want to go. This version is bitter.) The ending was marvelous. And even I was heartbroken by it. The space whale volunteering him/herself, because it the last one of its kind and his lonely. I like the mirroring the doctors life since 2005. And Amy saved the day. Please don’t let this be a regular this. She might save the world once or twice and it will be ok.
Ohhh!!! The crack on the ship was too obvious. Steven, we want it to be like hidden Mickey. The more obscure the better.
It was not the great ep in the series but it was ok. Now I’m waiting for the next episode the victory of the daleks.

It fells time traveler’s wife-est
a new era has wept upon us, as doctor who change it face once again. If this sounds pretentious then I have done my job. it give promise of change but change may not be good for some. ( it sound that it’s a bad review but please hang on) the episode starts with the doctor hanging for dear life as the tardis almost crashes into be big ben and almost hitting the doctor’s sensitive regions.
The opening sequence was flat to me. Not visually, stick the original theme and it would be great. What I have the problem is the dark rendition of Murry gold. It felt very Sarah Jane adventures on a bad day. It start all gloom and doom but in the end the REAL theme tune emerges.
Anyways, we see amy praying to ‘santa’. I know in the world of political correctness we have to be fair to other religions but why is she praying for santa. She then meets the doctor who crashes and ruins the garden shed. What like the bit with food and the racist comment by the doctor (if you see can find it way to go) she then point the doctor (after eating fish fingers and custard, which is not the most disgusting food combo. Cuz I know a man how eats Noodles with ketchup. Not Pasta, NOODLES (the broke that broke college grad and the Asian population eat) with ketchup) to the crack on the wall. He opens it and we see the eye from the twilight zone. The eye tell a prisoner zero has escape but the before the doctor can do anything about it, the tardis goes on the hissy-fit. The doctor goes in the tardis to fix the problem by going five minutes into the future. He promises Amy of travelling though time and space. And we see the cute thing since torchwood babies. (I really like the web comic thus I’m making a reference because I can) fast forward tomorrow morning. (I think)
We see amy in a very sexy police uniform (French maid would be nice but…)( and also the doctor doesn’t know but we know). Just before she knocked him with a cricket bat (a reference to the fifth doctor) he then talked about six door and we meet prisoner zero. I know it not the greatest monster (dalek) or the worst ( absorbalof) but one unique thing about it is it’s butt ugly. It across between sea snake and angler fish and it works.
We also learn that amy is a kiss-o-gram (an indigenous tribe located in the rain forest of whorenia). And that it’s 12 years since fish and custard (it always starts that way). At this point it kinda goes time traveler’s wife for me. The question is are they or are they not, and what is the connection with jeff and amy and rovy? Is he the hot ex that got away? (for amy). The doctor discovers that he has four 20 minutes to save the world. Then the sun goes different. And we see how the doctor looks at things. (and if I’m in his head, I don’t want to go)
The then saves the world by spreading a virus with the help of Jeff’s laptop, with references to Jeff watching porn. (you cheeky bastard Steven Moffat). The twist with amy was great and a love how prisoner x uses little amy as a digest, creepy as hell. And the story is much more known than the RTD hidden Mickey kind of story arc. the crack on the wall and the silence story arc is quite promising.
The doctor then confronts the big eye aliens (the atraxi). But before that he changes his clothes and get naked in front of rovy and amy (and amy like what she sees). He warns the atraxi to leave this planet (basically…run. Ohhwwwwooohhhhh fangazime ) and also make a excuse to show all the past doctor and david tenant, After which, the doctor run to the tardis which has change inside and out.
A time cut and a beautiful scene of little Amelia (ahwwww ! ) the doctor come back two years later which angers amy ( he doesn’t get the time right does he. It might be this doctor’s quirk) amy travels with the doctor (when childhood dreams come true) but warn the doctor to get her back on the same day. The story ends with a shoot amy’s cartoons and dolls of the doctor and her (I want one of those. It does how much? I’ll do anything to get one of the dolls. And end with a wedding dress (ohhh! How mysterious).

my hopes and dreams for season (series) 5
- have no more resurrection of past monsters. i know fan boys love the return of the any good old doctor who character but would you like to see cavemen from tribe of gum?
- have more stories fill with horror and gore. RTD is like too chicken to kill a companion that she had the biggest period just so she cannot burn from the inside. i want to kill a companion. not like adric but like liz shaw.
- put new and upcoming writers. i'm not saying steven moffat should troll on fanfiction.net and read doctor who/ house M.d. crossover. i'm saying that a lot of good writes are not ole enough to be my father. i know all of the production team are doctor who fans, but you need to involve the next generation of doctor who production. i suggest a contest of sorts.
- have less kissing with the companions. this love thing with Martha was a disaster. i love her as a companion not a love interest for the doctor and why do we keep getting rose to appear every season. and i'm so great full that billy piper will not do rose very. because i will not want another school reunion type episode with her. may be with marth but not with her. die. rose. die. yes, i have a glee of killing characters off the show.

being human series 2 episode 4
spoilers are on the. if you dont' want to be spoiled - GO AWAY!
the new episode of being human has just arrive on my and lap and it's more dark than funny. first Annie follows a mail man and she needs to set a life. so she gets suck to the door again and get save by the world war two pilot made sykes (what kind of name is that? and the hair is tragic). meanwhile, Mitchell is being offer a Gothic vampire-lover. (but she's more lolita dark than Gothic) George by a cage and the contractor immediately goes on the sex angle ( the serial killer angle look plusible as russell tovey look like it.
some afterward, Mitchell makes the vampire's of Bristol to quit blood and forces them to join an AA kind of meeting and the old lady(pensioner) who banged Hitler is still there (please give her a speaking role. ask he what it's like to bang Hitler. did he like pillow talk or more of a dirty sexy talk kind of guy?) a bit of a cameo for nina ( Sinead Keenan teaches ) who got a nose bleed and disappear. george goes out on the world and teach bad word to immigrants ( the first step of learning a language is to learn the bad word first their is no other way to learn........ for me) sykesannie that way of the ghost by feeling auras and participating in a weird food tasting event( it look like an average day at the culinary school for psychics. "today we will learn how to predict the next person to attempt to make a bad risotto")
George, think he has beaten the wolf, get panic attacks and curses for no apparent reason (the equivalent amount of cursing in torchwood) and then vents it on the biggest prick in the entire show so far. Ivan joins in on Mitchell's blood abstinence (do you get ring or buttons if you complete the program) but like any other celebrity who get into unti-drugs PSA, ask michell do the program while still drinking blood. the end was a bit sad as sykes 'flathair' leave and george cries him self to sleep (join the club)
all in all, it a good watch but i still want to see more daisy and less badly played romances (sorry mitchell! i really need to say it)

being human series 2 ep 3
i have got to review the other two but this episode has great importance to the continuity of the series. if your don't want to be spoiled - go away!
in the story, Mitchell become what he fears most, his father (technically Hendricks but you get the idea) as he tries to piece together the vampire order of Bristol. a couple got murder by a vampire and it's up to him to cover tracks and hide evidence. meanwhile Annie has become matchmaker from hell as he tries to hook-up hugh with his ex and george (still hurting from the departure of nina) has become an unwilling accomplice/ghost whisperer (referenced!!!).
ok! moments i love are the fact the george made nina a poem and annie suggested "because your worth it" to add insult. annie trying desperately to make goerge look like prick on a date so the girl will go back to hugh but she did not factor in that the girl is desperate enough to give her self like a rag-doll to the nearest guy who's interested. the scene in the caves, both the 1669 and the present day. the past one is funny because the they character are not noble and it reminds me of blackaddler-est. and the present one is really creepy but i hope that girl comes back because she the nearest thing i can get from a Lauren( from series 1) character.
the moment that nina called George was heart breaking and still optimistic as nina advices george to live his life to the fullest. but the mind-exploding thing of all is that lucy (Mitchell's love interest) is in fact the elusive professor jaggat. i cursed toby whithouse. then, i loved them. then, hated him. i love this show and i wish it get an award of something, even a Scottish BAFTA.

being human
even if it's only six episodes, I'm hooked. they want you to feel what it's like being different and how they want desperately to be human. last season(or series if you live in Britain) it was the vampires that took the role of villain now it the worst monsters ever, human. here a preview from of the new series from BBC. review of episode one will be posted next week.

i just had an epiphany
the vinvocci ( i hate those aliens. just go back to you home planet and leave us.) are a salvage team. so they should have a man in the ship. Alonzo frame will be that guy. and will help the doctor with fight off the master.
also, if you look at the trailer you can that they are in some kind of a ship. i thinks its the valiant.
