The Great Exterminator
Watched 'Bad Wolf' and 'The Parting of the Ways' again last night; contrary to my expectations, a full awareness of what was happening made them even better. The flaws didn't seem so grating, most of the plot holes did actually make sense, and the atmosphere was powerful enough that the rest didn't matter. Oh, and I've checked - London's only Clifton Parade is in Feltham. I'm sure that even the Southrons among you will agree that death by Dalek > life in Feltham. The significance of Bad Wolf's reference to "my Doctor" also became apparent, though everyone else probably spotted that straight away - it's not just Rose talking, but the TARDIS too, and perhaps even Time, hence the multi-tracked effect on her voice.
And isn't it great that even the tabloids seem to have been fine with the gay agenda? At most they seem to have mentioned it with amusement rather than outrage. The only 'will somebody think of the children' drivel I've seen has been from oldskool fans online.
I have also realised that the effects technology is now good enough to give us Rutans. Please, RTD!
I know Metro isn't the most reliable of sources, but I hope they're right about Christian Bale making another three Batman films, but Katie Holmes being dropped. And I hope that she's not being dropped in order to be replaced with another inappropriate no-mark love interest. Unless they use Poison Ivy, Catwoman or Wonder Woman, the closest Bat-films should come to a love interest is that scene from Begins with the two models.
Tony Blair says he could not accept the "usual cobbled together compromise" as he updated MPs on the European Union's failure to agree a new budget. Who'd have thought, after that embarrassment of an election victory, that within two months Blair would actually have shown himself a statesman? Perhaps Peter St John is taking more of a hand in matters.
As a club name, Brighton Queer Bash could be prone to misinterpretation.
On the rise of China, Martin Jacques argues that "China will be demonised for its political system and its profound cultural differences - for the first time in modern history, a non-white, non-European-based society will be a global superpower. The west will need to learn to live with difference rather than seeking to denounce and subjugate it."
So denouncing murderous dictatorships which haven't even had the grace to cling to their principles is racist?
