Office musings

Today, through fingers clamped over bleeding ears, I overheard Kit and The Bastard having a proper geek-out:

And the white woman was just annoying, who was she? She might as well have been June Whitfield just in a different dress
The subtext that he was somehow the doctor's father was totally contrived
The doctor's never made such a fuss about regenerating before
Absolutely
Then they're zapping each other
Giant planet in the sky
Zappy zap zap
Master just disappears
Flying around with missiles chasing them was sort of okay
He falls through a ceiling
Plunging out the thing and smashing out the thing. That would have broken a few bones
And where was all this radiation coming from?
The timelords destroy the immortality arch, so how come there's still radiation around? And detained by a dodgy glass door.
Reset button and very ill-thought-through plot
Dr Who can do a lot better than that
And the last 20 minutes of saying goodbye - I mean he'll see them all again. He sees Sarah Jane again.
And what's Martha doing with Mickey now? Presumably he's not her type, is he?
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
And all this argument about not changing history and suddenly it's alright again.
I love Captain Jack in the Star Wars style bar.
The bit with Rose is good. How many times has she come back? And her teeth get bigger every time. It's cos she's ageing. They can bring her back as the Lady Cassandra next time.
And then the gay pickup scene. At dinner time on Christmas day. Unnecessary.
Good stuff though. Yeah.
Just like Lord of the Rings really. Return of the king. Tearful goodbyes for half an hour. But at least it only happened once.
The worst part of the David Tennant years was the bit where he zapped his hand and it went phhhew.
It's produced more good films, if you like, than...
Generally speaking the last two years have been pretty poor really.
I liked Catherine Tate.
It became so good in parts you wanted the same standard. That's the trouble really. I mean series four. The fires of Pompeii did quite well. The doctor's daughter. The unicorn and the wasp. The silence of the library, forest of the dead.
I really really like midnight as well. They're both Russell Davis as well. He's a funny writer like that.

Art desk interjects. Silence.

Why did I turn out such a pedant? Well you'd have to ask my TV-banning, lentil-baking, library-enforcing, doctor-eschewing, beanbag-sitting, grammar-correcting, homeopathic, 2nd dan black belt, all-round no-nonsense mother. 'Cos me, I got no idea.
