Doctor Who Serial 192 – The Sontaran Stratagem & The Poison Sky

The Sontaran Stratagem Were people really this scared of GPS? Martha! Hopefully this isn’t as bad as her Torchwood episodes. They’re doing a very old-school Doctor Who trope. Showing just a hand or the back of a head staring at a screen. Sontarans are ridiculous. Okay, this is the fourth episode of the season, and they’re already doing flashbacks? This is a very kids’ show episode. It’s like original Star Trek with the computers who are defeated with logic. The teenage “genius” looks like that guy. Cliffhanger! The Poison Sky Thank you, Donna’s mom! That was an easy solution. Though that is not how windshields break, ad it would probably… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 192 – The Sontaran Stratagem & The Poison Sky

Doctor Who Serial 191 – Planet of the Ood

Ood revolt! This is a bad episode. They’re trying very hard to make a point, and they make it, I feel for the Ood, but it’s still a terrible episode.

Doctor Who Story 190 – The Fires of Pompeii

Ancient Rome… not the first time the Doctor’s been there. I like that they just addressed that. I also like that Amy Pond is watching the Doctor and wondering why he isn’t Matt Smith. Or at least that’s what I assume she’s thinking about. They’re missing a couple of names from the opening credits. Karen Gillan and Peter Capaldi. I am so looking forward to Amy’s time on Doctor Who, it might be my favourite. Yay! There’s Capaldi! I wonder if he’s actually the Doctor, and spent some time in Pompeii for fun and was looking forward to his arrival and wanted to buy is old TARDIS. Good job Donna,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 190 – The Fires of Pompeii

Doctor Who Serial 189 – Partners in Crime

Donna, don’t use your real name. Look at the Doctor, he’s using John Smith. Who on earth would be dumb enough to print an entire customer database without your boss’s approval. Now as for sales calls, why are they? They’re selling a miracle diet pill. It will sell like crazy, and just sell it online. Also, why is it so small? that was like four sheets of paper, and Donna took both hers and the Doctors, so their client list fits on two sheets of A4. How does Adipose Industries have authorization for to have a siren on their vehicle? The Adipose are adorable. You can tell that drivers in… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 189 – Partners in Crime

Doctor Who Story xx – Torchwood series 2

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang I’ve gotta say, the old lady saying “Bloody Torchwood,” might be my favourite part of the series. SPIKE! He breezed into that bar. Gwen needs to tell Jack that he needs to be honest with her if she’s ever going to trust him again. Oh fuck you, Jack! Stop telling people that your history doesn’t matter. The stupid western vibe is ridiculous, but I enjoy it. Glad Doctor Who has some good make-outs, thanks to Torchwood. Oh, Ianto is having none of Jack’s bullshit. Maybe not, he did accept his date. Aww, he killed Jack. :( Is it good to throw a bomb into the rift?… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – Torchwood series 2

Doctor Who Story 188 – Voyage of the Damned

Time Crash So this is a Children In Need special that bridges Martha leaving the TARDIS and the TARDIS crashing into the Titanic. It’s a fun one, so I’m quite excited. I like when the Doctor talks to the TARDIS. TEE HEE! It’s PETER DAVISON, aka, the Doctor’s father in law. It’s really weird the Doctor married his own daughter. The soundtrack is great. Hahaha, the Doctor thinking the Doctor is a fan is fun, and mentioning LINDA. “No, no beard this time, but a wife.” “I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you’re young.” This is such a good eight minutes… Read More »Doctor Who Story 188 – Voyage of the Damned

Doctor Who Story xx – The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 1

Revenge of the Slitheen part 1 God no. The Slitheen and more fart jokes. That’s a worse principal than the one in the film I just watched, Moxie. The Slitheen can control candle light? This is kind of a charming episode. That little pop sound as he exited his skin suit was great. Revenge of the Slitheen part 2 You are in a car. The child Slitheen is adorable. Why does Sarah Jane’s basement have a single licence plate on the rafter and it’s from Ontario? Doing some more research, there’s a theory that it’s a tribute to Sidney Newman, creator of Doctor Who. Or maybe TVO, who aired so… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 1

System software from developer “Apple Inc.” has been updated.

Apple wants end users to know what they’re authorizing and what system/kernel extensions are running on their computer. Yet I got this message. I have no idea what it is and what I’m authorizing. I know it’s from “Apple Inc.” but that’s it. There’s no GUI to show you what system/kernel extensions are running, so I have no idea what it is. I can run systemextensionsctl list but that gave me: I can run kextstat and I get the following, which doesn’t tell me what is pending approval or if any of them are unapproved. How am I supposed to know what is? Am I missing something? Am I supposed… Read More »System software from developer “Apple Inc.” has been updated.

Doctor Who Story 187 – Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords

Utopia Jack gripping onto the TARDIS screaming “DOCTOR!” Is great. Chantho is a terrible concept. David Tennant’s gleeful smile at the thought of exploring this world is the best. I love Martha and Jack together. Still using projectile weapons at the end of the universe. The Professor seems to recognize the TARDIS. The Doctor can be angry, too angry. God, the flashing of Y-A-N-A is horrible. I really like Derek Jacobi as the Master. The Sound of Drums I don’t think Russell Davies understands how parliamentary democracies work. John Simm’s scowl face is perfection. The comical time bomb attached to the TV is so Looney Tunes. That was a lot… Read More »Doctor Who Story 187 – Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords

Doctor Who Story 186 – Blink

That is the best opening of Doctor Who history, I think. Though it’s also the best episode, too. “I love old things, they make me feel sad.” “What’s good about sad?” “It’s happy for deep people.” That is the stupidest thing anyone’s ever said, and of course it’s written by Moffatt. The creepy moving weeping angel, between shots is so great. The Doctor on the DVD is great, and the guy in the video shop telling the screen “go to the police, you stupid woman!” I’m surprised that Sally is able to get into the police garage without an officer. It’s convenient he lives until after he leaves. I love… Read More »Doctor Who Story 186 – Blink
