Holy hell...

*has another small gloat for calling the fact that Harriet Jones was not only not the red Dalek, but also not in league with the Daleks at all*

Okay, with that out of the way, I have to say...oh my FREAKIN' God! This episode absolutely proves my theory that finding out who the bad guy is, or whatever rumor you hear about who or what is in it, totally does not diminish a show. The "spoilers" we get aren't real spoilers at all because they don't spoil the actual important part of the episode. It's the how and why that never seems to get leaked because it doesn't seem important which ends up being the most important of all.

Time for a Nice Big Gloat

Okay, if you hate spoilers, run now.

On the subject of spoilers...

Spoilers...I love 'em.

Now, I know many people absolutely hate them with a passion. I have friends that won't even let me say if something they haven't seen is good or not. "Oh, Midnight was gr--" "DON'T TELL ME!" Well, good grief. I was just going to say it was great. Sue me. That is one of the reasons why I started this blog, even though I haven't gotten to it yet. I'd like to actually be able to talk about episodes people might not have seen yet without being yelled at for even saying if an episode is good or not.

How Time Does Fly

I can't believe series four of Doctor Who is almost over. It makes me rather sad, because once it's over, all that anticipation that I've been feasting on these last few months will be gone. Sure, I could anticipate the Christmas special, but that might drive me mad, as it's six months from now.

Speculation about these last three episodes of the series has been running rampant, ranging from fairly rational to completely bizarre. Please tell me it's not true that Harriet Jones is inside the red Dalek. C'mon. Sure, the Doctor ruined her career, but I seriously doubt that she'd go so far as to join forces with an alien race that will not only try to destroy her beloved Britain, but the entire planet.

Lets start this off with a rant...

Normally I ignore the nasty comments from fans of the old series who absolutely hate the new series with a passion. However, this is my blog and I'm going to vent my spleen on the subject right here, right now.

If, gentle reader, you are one of those people who hates the New Who with a passion because it's not the Classic Who, and has had the bad taste to spend your online time trashing every detail of New Who, let me just give you a little tip to lower your blood pressure:

1. Step away from the computer
2. Pull out your Classic Who video tapes
3. Watch Classic Who, and forget New Who even exists

No, really, it gets tiring to watch someone complain about something they can easily just change the channel on, or just plain turn off altogether. Why people choose to go to websites and blogs about Doctor Who and specifically go to sections for the new series to bitch and moan, when there are perfectly good places to just discuss Classic Who, is beyond me. The only thing I can think of to explain it is that they're not really against New Who at all. They just like being trolls.

It's simply not fair to those of us who like New Who to have to wade through post after post of constant complaints and insults towards something we enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, don't participate in discussions about it.

And vice versa, by the way. If you're a New Who lover who thinks the Classic Who was lame for whatever reason, either find a constructive way to express that opinion, or stay out of Classic Who discussions. You are neither wanted nor needed there.

I guess common courtesy is about as "common" as common sense, eh?
