FANTASTIC!

Advantages: Brilliant stories, fantastic acting.
Disadvantages: Cutdown confidentials instead of full episode

The first series of Doctor Who I saw was series 4. I thought it was brilliant and instantly loved it so obviously wanted to watch the rest of the series to see what other amazing stories there were. To describe the First SEries in one word I would have to say it was FANTASTIC! Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor is brilliant and Billie Piper as his companion Rose means there's lots of laughs along the way too. In the first episode ROSE the Doctor ...
...life and travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS. In the second episode THE END OF THE WORLD they travel to platform one to see the end of Earth. There are loads of different aliens on board and some robot spiders which are trying to destroy the ship they are on and kill everyone. In the third episode THE UNQUIET DEAD the Doctor takes Rose to Cardiff in 1869 by mistake and they meet Charles Dickens. They also meet a new alien race the Gelth who lost ...

Lost In Space. What WERE they on?!

Advantages: Must have for all fans
Disadvantages: Even more weird than I remembered

Lost in Space Series Three. Gosh. How time flies. Was it really all those years ago when in 1997(!) the Robinson family, captain Don West and their robot were put off course by the meddling booby Dr Smith, a treacherous spy paid to sabotage the ship. The cast list was as follows: Prof. John Robinson (Guy Williams) Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart) Captain Don West (Mark Goddard) Judy Robinson (Marta Kristen) Will Robinson (Billy Mumy) Penny Robinson ...
...and the voice of the robot was provided by Dick Tufeld. By Series 3 Jonathon Harris had completely remade Dr Zachary Smith form a lacklustre and transparent villain into one of the most towering giants of world TV, the Machiavellian, scheming, cowardly and lazy Dr Zachary Smith we all came to love and loathe! Incidentally all of Dr Smith's insults to the robot (such as: "you meddling mechanical mountebank!" and the like were all created by Harris ...

Look into the future what do you see?

Advantages: Easy watching
Disadvantages: Can be over acted

...provides a great insight to the life of a teenager in a world full of chaos and destruction. It made me think if this ever happened in our somewhat war riddlede world how the children from todays society would cope. I for one would think that there would be a lot more violence than is portrayed in this first series. It is for easy viewing and has addictive yet predictable plot lines. With excellent make-up and costumes this programme is very visually ...
...life is now like after the deadly virus kills all of the adult population. The city is now in utter chaos as the kids now battle for control of their new world. It also provides excellent insight to the stuggle of setting up a new society of rules and order. Will everybody be willing to accept? The opening scene takes us to see the not yet existent "good guys" tribe mall rats characters. This which i thought was a great foundation for getting to ...

Firefly: The Show That Could Have Been

Advantages: One of the best shows by Joss Whedon...
Disadvantages: ...cancelled before it can get "bigger"

...Ballad of Serenity" FIREFLY The Show That Could Have Been Joss Whedon is one of the few geniuses in the industry right now, and this show, Firefly, was the TV series that got me hooked on all of Joss Whedon's creations. Firefly seamlessly fused the swashbuckling action of the western genre with the intricate mythos of science-fiction. As always, I've read about all the hype around the web first before finally deciding to watch it. I ...
...Anyway, I'm here to review Firefly and not to mope and feel angry for the canned shows. THE DVD Worth every buck I've bought three copies of this DVD when I found them on sale in a Philippine eBay-like website. I bought one for myself, another for my friend who loved Battlestar Galactica so much and wanted a "filler series" when that show was on a hiatus, and the last one was a gift to my sister who wanted to watch a "different" kind ...

Love... Which Makes The Worlds Go 'Round

Advantages: wonderfully entertaining, detailed enough for enjoyable repeat viewings
Disadvantages: sad endings!

...home for Christmas, but The Doctor is still recovering from his latest regeneration and looks to spending this holiday in a coma. It's up to Rose, Jackie, and Mickey to keep him safe until he recovers. Any easy task... until the Sycorax arrive on earth and hold one third of the world's population hostage! It's a "Christmas Invasion", but will the Doctor recover in time to act once more as the Earth's Champion? Favorite quote: "Ahh, not bad for a ...
...a nice man." ~ The Doctor Season two of Doctor Who unwraps itself with like a Christmas cracker... a bit of noise and flash to celebrate some simple fun. Throughout the season, we see Rose coming to terms with some of the less pleasant aspects of time traveling with the Doctor, and their friendship strengthen. This incarnation of the Doctor seems generally happier than the one we were originally introduced to in the first season, and we get the sense ...
