BBC America Is The Reason Cable Exists

Last night, watched the Tivo'ed Eleventh Doctor 2012 Christmas special.

AWESOME. Such a good ep. Right there with the Tennant ep on the space Titanic with Kylie Minogue. Tingles. Coleman will be a good companion.

Watching the Battlestar Galactica telemovie from at the beginning of the reboot, still amazing. Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katie Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer, James Callis, (also very good as Dr. Grant in Eureka). AWESOME.

With a few, rare exceptions, american TV can choke on a bag of dicks.

  1. Watched it twice, meself. Once drunk, once sober. Was amazed they killed the obvious new Companion, then the resolution became obvious. LOVE the companion-adjacents, especially potato-man. I guess going through several episodes resisting a Companion would have harked back to a previous Doctor.

    Big tall spiral star bothered me from structural aspects.

    DO NOT dis American TV that produces Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, The Shield, Breaking Bad, American Horror Story, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs...OK, it's all cable, but so what?

    Love spud-boy. Can't wait for the season, I wonder if the Silurian woman and her asst/? carry over, I like the more active companions of the 9-10-11 doctors.

    Knee-jerk reaction to the Honey BooBoo Variety Hour.
