    Man, I'm digging the new episode so far but the billboard slogan for that makeup was Smallville levels of nudge-nudge-wink-wink.

    ^^ I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. :P

    Blagh, I should be watching that, but Snatch is homework, so priorities. Also, I haven't watched The God Complex.

    Yeah, definitely don't watch the new episode before watching The God Complex.

    But definitely do go watch both of them. Now.

    To make The God Complex more fun, spend the first half pretending it's in Silent Hill and that the monster is Pyramid Head. Up to the reveal it actually fits really well.

    Well, I guess I can watch Snatch later. The class is in a month, anyway

    Sir yes sir.

    Oh god did the doctor just say that?

    The doctor just said that.

    A writer thought it was a good idea for the doctor to say that.

    Then the editors also thought it was a good idea and paid him for it.

    Then Matt Smith said it and got paid as well.

    The fuck.

    I thought it would be some sort of hyperspoiler thing. 

    Like...not a normal spoiler, but the kind that ruins series forever and stuff.

    Hey, this isn't that depressing. The only ones who died were Biker Dude, Corrupt Politician, Rape Victim, Future Albert Einstein, and everyone in Future Tokyo.

    Really, don't think the episode is bad, because it's really not. I just can't shake the feeling the episode's writer thought 'So what are you, Clark? Man or Superman?' was the cleverest thing ever.

    ^It's so fucking winky and trendy and I really doubt it'll age well. it needlessly tries to tie the doctor's technology to modern earth technology when it should stay alien. It also raises a whole bunch of questions about the sonic screwdriver and how it works. How exactly does one get apps for it? Is the Gallifreyan intergalactic Wi-Fi still running?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    App is just short for application. Anyone who knows something about computers can see what it means. And even if it doesn't age well, it would be just as bad as many of the things from the original series that didn't age well. 

    Which means, it would barely be bad.

    So, I'm on the God Complex and I'm loving how Eleven disses Coward!Alien and tells him that his cowardry is just as murderous and aggresive as any other conquering civilization.

    I know what app is short for. That's irrelevant, especially for a tool that works like a magic wand. The fact that it's still intentionally aping and shoehorning in an irritating slogan is the sign of a writer trying too hard to be clever.

    And honestly none of the poorly aging lines of classic doctor I can think of grated me that much, mostly because they were your typical 'world war three of the the nineties' guesses about the future.

    That said, I did enjoy the episode and my theory about River seems to be truer and truer with each turn.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I'm fairly sure there was at least one show of 1970s british nonsensical slang in The Five Doctors. I'll get back to you on that.

    As for the whole App thing...well, I just don't think it's really that groanworthy. Not to mention that it's probably the Doctor joking.

    I'm admitting I'm kneejerking here, but it kicked me right out of the moment because I basically pressed pause, and went back to make sure I heard him right.

    The closest I can think is in one episode where one of the companions replies to the Doctor with Beatles lyrics but that's hardly aged poorly and since she was a British teenager it made a lot more sense.

    Admittedly there probably are some, and if I were well-versed in seventies pop culture I would probably hate them too.

    shaddap, dean, your series is not subtle either. 

    also, sometimes, just sometimes, the themes of the season didn't get shoved in your face.

    sometimes.

    On that note, I was kind of annoyed at the season premiere with Castiel smiting anti-gay preachers. As much as I like to see homophobic hypocrites get a few socks to the jaw, surely the overseer of existence would spend time better smiting Kim Jong Il  or something?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Dunno. I didn't get into Supernatural.

    Jesus, fuck, Karen. You're supposed to be worshipping the minotaur, not flirting with him.
  • MalkavianMalkavian

    I got into it because of a friend, because it used to be the last genuine horror show on TV,  and because Jensen Ackles is fun as hell to watch.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I tried getting into it, but man...man...man...there are not enough "man"s to describe how bored I was.

    So, The God Complex was...I dunno. the horror aspect was really ruined by the soundtrack, and there was a bit where The Doctor actually did a Scooby Doo scene. However, the scene where the Doctor wrecks a room and the scene with Amy were pretty sweet. Overall, it's a nice episode. Just not a good horror one.

    Taking a bit of a break and then watching the new one.

    Yeah, the horror in this season has been pretty weak. I can't shake the feeling that the Weeping Angel scene was just thrown into the trailer first and then they had to find a way to shoehorn it in.

    As for Supernatural, I think there's a lot to like about it, especially with the family interactions and the creative kills. That said, it didn't hurt that said friend was partially in it for the yaoi and very easily frightened so her reactions were always amusing.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Yeah, I love the Weeping Angels but I'm starting to think that Moffat needs to lay off them. They're going to become the new daleks if he keeps it up. Which is why I'm leary of the next one, as I feel the Cybermen are no better than the Daleks in terms of exposure. Then again, I'd never argue that Doctor Who is scary,
     but I do like the concepts they have come up with (Darkness that eats you, Little kids who taint you and integrate you into a hive mind, forever losing a sense of identity, etc etc)

    And I dunno. I just feel that Supernatural is too episodical for my taste. I know this changes later on, but I'm not sure if and how interested I would be. The problem is...it sounds like my kinda thing but I can't stand it that much.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse

    I thought the Cybermen were pretty decently-used this time. The episode had a lot of mood whiplash, but that was unrelated.

    Well, I don't mind it so much with the Daleks or Cybermen because they're supervillains. While they can be overused, them losing their bite is... less worrying. The Angels are genuine monsters, though. They could go the way of Freddy of Michael Meyers if the writers aren't careful.

    ^They weren't very prominent, which was good. The Cybermen aren't very dynamic villains. Their goals and methods can't really change.

    OK, starting it and...

    lol blinking lights

    creeeeeeeepy

    right

    ^I'd say that the moment the Angels went from the oh so mighty predators of the universe to the idiots who move in slow mo and can't catch a blind girl was pretty much the moment they lost their bite.

    And well, supervillains arguably need to keep their bite. You need to believe that a Dalek is a threat in order for a story to work. It's the only way for the Doctor's actions to be justified.
