Dec. 15th, 2015 12:31 amI keep forgetting which Doctor Who DVDs I have and which I don't, which is very annoying when I decide I want to watch Robots Of Death, Horror Of Fang Rock or Terror Of The Zygons and realise I don't own them. Luckily this is what Christmas lists are for and by Dec 26th I think I'll have every story from season 12-17 which is my favouritest bit anyways.
So I ended up watching Image Of The Fendahl, which I keep forgetting is by Chris Boucher. It reminds me a lot of stuff like The Stone Tapes (which is also part of why I love the episode Hide) and a great cast.
Just rewatched Phantom Menace. It's not horrible, but still a distinctly 5/10 movie at the most. I'd forgotten the whole virgin birth bit and the midichlorians can fuck right off. So can Jar Jar Binks. I did spot Celia Imrie as a fighter pilot this time, though.
The next episode of the podcast will be a Star Wars one, since we're all going to see the new one this week and I'm trying to delay argui...talking about the last season of Doctor Who as long as possible. At least until we don';t feel the need to set up the Thunderdpme and play the music from Amok Time. :)
The thing is, the moment I sit down and The Force Awkanes starts, over twenty years of Star Wars headcanon, mostly from the videogames, goes right out the window, no Jaden Korr (who as with Darth Revan, I refuse to accept the canon version, they were both women in my playthroughs), no Kyle Katarn, Jan Ors or Dash Rendar. Whenever I've imagined Star Wars universe stuff it's been in that post Return Of The Jedi period depicted in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games. So I@m going to have to make some adjustments at the very least. :)
