I saw Alice the other day, I wasn't impressed. Visually it was pretty good, but everything else was very blahhhh.

I've never seen SJA. Not sure I'd have the patience for it. >.>



lonelyotaku 03-12-2010 08:28 PM

the sarah jane chronicles are good the episodes were on syfy, i remember seeing one were she had to fight slitheen with her son you should watch it its great.

ljosberinn 03-12-2010 08:31 PM



Ha ha. Trying to get me to watch anything by mentioning the Slitheen is doomed to fail. :|

I'll probably give it a try at some point, just because I don't want to judge things before trying them. But it's not high on my to-do list.

I've heard people say Alice is incredibly weird but some people liked it because of that. ^^;

The Mad Woman in the Attic from SJA ranks with some of my favourite Who episodes, it's masterfully done. But I like Rani so I might be a bit biased there.

Been watching "Silence in the Library." Something I didnt catch before: River Song recognized Ten... which means she must have met him before his regeneration. I guess we probably won't be seeing her in Series 5 then.......

KatMagenta 03-12-2010 09:12 PM

There's a lot of speculation regarding that.

Debated whether this was spoilery or not, hiding it now be be safe.X

Some of the very first filming photos from series 5 (the ones on the beach) feature Alex Kingston... the actress who played River Song. Read into that what you will.
(picture)

Sorry if anyone saw it before and didn't want to.

ljosberinn 03-12-2010 09:35 PM



River Song also said she'd never seen him so young. It's possible she saw pictures or some sort of documentation of him as Ten after she met him. Anyway, as much as I dislike her, they wouldn't leave her story like that. She's bound to come up at some point.

About Alice.. well, Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be weird. And it's Tim Burton, so of course it's going to be weird.
What bothered me more was just.. the script, I guess.

I guess this is slightly spoilery, though I'm not letting slip anything important about the plot at all.. so click at your own risk.X

It didn't make me excited about the outcome because the whole time it is quite obvious what will happen and how the story will progress. There was not even a second where I went "so what's going to happen next? Which way will it go? What decision is Alice going to make?". And it was very.. childish. The jokes were all terrible, even for a Disney film, and there were at least a couple of scenes that made me go /facepalm really, really bad.
Johnny was also completely predictable. His usual mix of Edward the Scissorhands and Captain Jack. I was fairly disappointed in him.

my spoily replyX

Aha!! Well, her hair looks different, so it is possible she might be playing a different character. I hope it's her, though. I'd like there to be at least ONE person from the old series that returns, lol

x-cutie-x-pie-x 03-12-2010 11:48 PM

The movie was OK, and yeah... it was kinda weird, but it's meant to be, right? oAo
Do not like the recoloured cheshire cat.

ljosberinn 03-13-2010 12:01 AM



Recoloured? What do you mean?
I love that they cast Stephen Fry as Cheshire's voice, and Alan Rickman as Caterpillar's.. I just wish they'd gotten more lines. xD



Lost in Austen 03-13-2010 12:17 AM

I wish Donna got to see her "Forest of the Dead" husband again (I can't remember his name... the guy who stuttered) Since he was real, you know, even though the kids weren't. :(

Shade Walker 03-13-2010 02:29 AM

That episode was kinnda creepy though, I was avoiding shadows for days. And apparently isn't Alice in wonderland based on a number system that the guy who wrote it couldn't understand?

lonelyotaku 03-13-2010 05:38 AM

silence in the library was scary, but i didn't stay away from shadows i was just really creeped out and felt really bad for what happened to those people. I can't believe the entire forest was in the books that was weird to.

Connielass 03-13-2010 05:50 AM

The skeletons stayed in my dreams.
:|

That's the only reason I didn't like that episode. Otherwise, it was actually great. (bookworm here! :XD)

That would be so awesome, the entire planet being one big storage . . . warehouse . . . type deal for all the books that were ever written/published/in existence.

Rhumbullion 03-13-2010 07:08 AM

Anyone here?

Shade Walker 03-13-2010 07:15 AM

I hate it when I loose or have to sell a book. Don't know why.

x-cutie-x-pie-x 03-13-2010 03:12 PM

I didn't watch that episode where they were in the library... I've been meaning to catch up on it all this time =w="

Lost in Austen 03-13-2010 11:01 PM

Why don't you like River, ljosberinn?

Well here's the thing. If she had met him while he was Eleven, why would she expect Ten, a past Doctor, to recognize her? The only thing I can think of is that she hadn't seen a pic or document of Ten, but somehow knew he was the Doctor anyway, and assumed he was a future regeneration she hadn't met yet. What say you?

ljosberinn 03-13-2010 11:05 PM



I just.. don't like.. romance.. when it comes to the Doctor. >____< Which is why I don't like Moffat much. *sigh*

And yeah, that's a point.. hm. I wonder how they'll explain that. I think I need to see it again before I start talking rot though. I can't remember how exactly she recognised him etc.



Lost in Austen 03-13-2010 11:35 PM

Moffat writes the romance? I always thought that was mostly RTD.

Yeah.... It took her a while to even realize he didn't know who she was.

lonelyotaku 03-14-2010 01:56 AM

I'm gonna have to watch that episode again, because i can't remember it that well.

Lost in Austen 03-14-2010 10:41 AM

Kay. 'Tis one of my favorites. Very freaky, though.

TaiyoTsuki 03-14-2010 07:43 PM

Hello everyone!

Ugh...I've been all Doctor Who-ed out because of my paper. I finally got it done!

Rising_Violet 03-14-2010 07:57 PM

-applause- Huzzah for finishing the papaer!

TaiyoTsuki 03-14-2010 08:34 PM

On the flip side, I'm gonna be gone for an entire week because of an NJROTC trip to Rhode Island, and I'm not gonna be back until the 20th.
