bearshortyYouTube actually had the Doctor Who S5E4 “Time of Angels” episode that I was able to watch.
Doctor Who S5E4. “Time of Angels.” Much better than the second episode. Weeping Angels are great villains. I’m still not sure about River. Upon rewatch I like her, I just don’t like when she gloats that she knows something ahead of the Doctor. I generally don’t like it when writers push characters on us – saying they will be awesome before we can actually see it. I rewatched “Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead” and I liked it more the second time since I could place the whole story. Interactions with River became more interesting to watch knowing that this first meeting for the Doctor is the last for her. So they are coming from completely opposite emotional space. “Time of Angels” itself is nice and suspenseful and it is fun to see the Doctor in a pissy mood. Can’t wait for the second part.
“Dune” Since everyone raves about this book, I’m giving it more time but I’m still rolling my eyes. First the gender stuff was bothering me, but the second chapter is really just ‘Hi, I’m Evil and this will be my very Evil Plan. At least I’m not telling it to my enemies for no reason. But I will commit mistakes on Evil Overlord List just by not wanting to kill my enemy outright but by wanting him to suffer and know that I’m Evil. Cue Evil Laugh. And since I’m Evil, I must look the part and be very fat too and ugly. See and admire how Evil I am. And my first name is Vladimir just to emphasize by Evilness” I hope there will be some character complexity. The prose doesn’t suck, it actually flows quite well, I just don’t know if I can keep reading if I roll my eyes all the time.
More crossstitch today. I need to try to do this more on weekdays too, but I never seem to find the time.
Netflix instant play of Buffy have “Previously on” before each episode that are not on DVDs.
