Doctor Who

Also, Jo Grant has been a cute/enjoyable companion.

The Sea Devils is pretty good though, since they got the navy's permission to use their stuff.


I dislike Jo. Just wait until season 5 when Sarah Jane Smith arrives.

[kerbythepurplecow]

Yeah, they're starting to improve. I guess they realized they needed to mix it up some. Sea Devils was cool. Now I'm in the middle of the mutants. With luck, I might finish season 9 today. That'll be it until Monday though. I'll be out of town for Mel's graduation.

Okay, Jo is starting to wear on me. I'm most of the way through the Green Death, so she's almost gone. She just sits around being ditzy most of the time unless it interesting for her to show scientific knowledge. When she's not doing that, she's just being clumsy. She feels like she's been around way too long.

The one good thing about Jo is that her tenure has some really strong episodes that have political and social commentary tied to them, such as The Mutants, The Green Death, the Peladon stories, the war between the Draconions and the Humans whose name I can;t recall, and so forth.

Did you see the Neil Gaiman episode of season 6, the 4th one a week ago?

[kerbythepurplecow]

Heck yeah! We thought it was pretty damned good. I was really excited that there might be other time lords. I was also really excited that the Doctor might be able to communicate with the TARDIS going forward. Unfortunately neither came to pass.

Also, I just finished Genesis of the Daleks in the old stuff.
