Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Doctor Who
« on: April 22, 2010, 12:43 PM »
Wasn't that the Sara Jane wedding episode I heard about? I think the Doctor even mentioned it during Tennent's last episode.

I believe so, I think it was a two episode story arc (as most of the Sarah Jane episodes are).  He had a cameo in the first episode and guest staring role in the second.  I really should track these episodes down sometime since it was an OK show...not as good as Torchwood, but I feel like I've missed something in the Doctor Who universe without seeing them.  It isn't like SyFy is flooded with original programing that they don't have room to air it.

In the second series of Sara Jane, didn't they get rid of all the kids and replace them with other actors?

That is what I have read...they may have replaced them with other kids.  I know they replaced both the girl across the street and her dad.  I think they may have replaced the other kid that hung out with them.  Sarah's son did remain in the show.  Tennant did a guest appearance in Season 3 and Smith is supposed to do a guest spot in Season 4.

I kept waiting for Doctor Who to come back to Sci-Fi SyFy, but I guess at this point that's not happening since it's playing on BBC America?  I may have to track down the seasons on DVD and catch up on this show.

   E...

I don't think SyFy will be getting the series back...they didn't even get the series of specials to end Tennant's run.  I was surprised they got in over BBC America in the first place since Torchwood was on BBC America.  I guess the internet is probably the only place where we can see the second and third series of the Sarah Jane show either.

I finally got a chance to watch the new episode last night.  I think Smith did a good job...he feels like the Doctor.  I also like the Amy Pond character, I think she will make a good companion.

I liked the continuity bit at the end where they showed the ten previous Doctors.  A nice call back to the Christmas special as well.

Why not just make this set a Deluxe Battlepack a la the Target exclusives with the AT-ST's?  They should be able to throw in a few pillows and a jawa with a fan (c'mon, just repack a jawa with a new accessory).  Then they are at the $50 price point and could put in a few extras for us.

Tonight was definitely this season's "I call bull****" moment.

I agree....seems to be the most incompetent mole ever.  What has she really done to help the terrorists, especially while she had to deal with her ex for half of the season.

I am hoping this isn't an early April Fool's gag.  This is one of my top wants for the 12" line.  Hasbro never got around to this figure and I'm glad SS is making one.

Do you have a link to the video?  I couldn't find anything searching the site.

LEGO / Re: LEGO 2010

Since I still needed the Republic Star Destroyer (Acclimator I think?) set, I just ordered that on-line since it was free shipping with a purchase of $100.  They won't let you order the figure on-line, but it did show up in my basket with the lego purchase.  Now, I hope it actually shows up on my doorstep.

Torchwood is back with a five part mini-series for this year. I guess we will finally be losing Captain Jack at the end of the show to make the show more family friendly for next year. I guess not a bad move as long as the stories don't suffer. The story is about Gwen anyway. Maybe Martha will show up? Its starts July 20th on BBC America. I believe it will be shown a little sooner in England. I also hear the Easter Doctor Who special willl be shown around then too on BBC America.

A completely stupid idea to lose Jack...I would disagree that the show is about Gwen, if they ditch Jack it will be since she will be the only original cast member left besides Ianto.  Making it more family friendly will lose its entire audience.  It was never meant to be family friendly.  That is what the Sarah Jane Adventures are for.

I just got back. I dunno, it was definitely the worst Terminator film yet. But it did have some cool stuff too, I'd give it a solid B.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW!


-I think they tried way too hard to throw in nods and references to the other films. Sometimes it worked ("I'll be back") and other times it was just plain stupid (I think the Arnold 'cameo' looked horrible).

-I didn't like Christian Bale as John Connor. I agree that he still sounds too much like Batman, and it really didn't look like he gave a **** through the whole movie, so that was disappointing.

-The Marcus character was cool, but I saw the heart transplant thing coming from a mile away.

-That actor who plays Kyle Reese (and Chekov in Star Trek) is great, but I think he was really underused in this movie.

-The battle stuff at the beginning kinda sucked, but the battle at Skynet at the end of the film was awesome!

-Here's my only question: So is the cancer lady that was talking to Marcus at the end a T-1000? I didn't really understand her role.


END SPOILERS

Overall I liked it for what it was, but it just didn't really feel right. Meh.


I believe the cancer lady was what she appeared to be...someone linked to the science organization working on using human parts to help people with terminal diseases...her company either purchased or was bought out by Cyberdyne.  Her appearance as Skynet, was just a way for Marcus's human half to identify with Skynet...I don't think it was the intention for her to be Skynet or a T-1000.

Wow, with that rant on the webpage quoted a few posts back.  Is he mad that this movie wasn't set like what we saw in T-1?  He has to remember that the events of T-2 and T-3 erased that future.

Overall, I didn't have a problem with the movie.  This movie was never going to be a favorite of the critics, but I don't think it should be trashed like it has been.  Ultimately, this movie was a set up for a 2nd and 3rd movie in a new trilogy and I think it did a good job of doing that.

Still not buying that schedule...SYTYCD as part of the fall lineup?  It has never been anything but the bastard step brother of American Idol that they play in the summer.  13 hours of Dollhouse, but on both schedules?  Glee, which premiered this week and has not ratings data in both fall and spring?

I would say the Terminator cancellation was inevitable as Judgement Day.  They may be kicking themselves if the new movie does really well.

I guess we can kiss Fringe goodbye now.  In yet another brilliant move, FOX is putting it up against ratings juggernaut CSI.  Look for Fringe to go on hiatus, end up on Friday and then be cancelled at this time next year.

Funny how 24 hours can change a person...I would have liked to see the interrogation while Janice was handcuffed to the wall.  I am guessing the last 15 minutes or so was set up so that they could have killed off Jack if there wasn't going to be an eighth season.

That seems like a seudo schedule...SYTYCD is strickly a summer show, as well as Glee.  I doubt they would pick up Glee for the fall without even seeing how it does during a summer run.  Of course the dancing will be replaced with American Idol...I guess Lie to Me goes on hiatus when 24 returns.
