DW: The Armageddon Factor

I finished the Key to Time saga last night. Now, if I had disliked TAF, I'd have a long and amusing review for you all (un)fortunately I liked it a great deal. My only real beef with it was that Astra in episode one was much cooler than she ever got to be again.

That, and the Black Guardian altogether failed to wear a duck on his head. I feel cheated.

Lost - Pilot (part 1)

With no new DW-verse episodes coming for a while, I've turned to other sources of sci-fi fun. Among them, I've begun rewatching LOST. And *damn* but this stuff is still good, even on third or fourth viewing.

Having to put up with Gwen has taught me a whole new appreciation for Kate. Don't get me wrong - I liked her before - but she seems especially extra shiny now. *adds LOST to list of series to watch when faith in female characters, the quality thereof begins to flag*

Also, having watched many pilots recently, I have to say, LOST easily has one of the best. Character is plot; plot is character, and the action never lets up despite the vast amount of information that needs to be fed to the viewer. Wow.
