kribuConsidering the amounts of work they keep sending me home, I have a feeling they don't expect to see me back in the office for another week at least. Got another 16,000 words or so, yes, plus some smaller things. Heh. Oh well, at least I already did half the other big thingy today.
I actually managed to listen to some audio stuff today... a full episode of The Sea Devils, yay! It's a bit weird, what with half of it being just narration covering what we should be seeing but aren't, due to the lacking image... but it's not really bad at all. I'd nearly forgotten how charming the Doctor was in it (well, and a git, but those two things go together, really). I do so want it on DVD sooner rather than later. The Doctor and the Master at their finest... plus the fabulous swordfight, which I doubt will have quite the same impact on the audio version. Or the Doctor nicking Jo's sandwiches.
And I'm a little puzzled about what to think of Torchwood's latest episode, Countrycide. On the one hand, horror's not my favourite genre (to put it mildly), so I wasn't exactly enthralled by it... on the other hand, it was actually scary and disturbing instead of being just stupid. Gwen and Owen continue being the two actually interesting characters, and it was good to see Toshiko get something to do at last. Ianto's still a bit rubbish though, isn't he? And Jack continues being mostly unpleasant (and I really don't think they should make Barrowman do anger, it looks a bit ridiculous).
I'm still looking forward to Sarah Jane Adventures as my last hope of fully enjoyable new Who. I keep reading at OG and elsewhere that it might premiere on New Year's Day already, which isn't that far away, woo-hoo! Of course, it's possible that it will suck terribly, but at least it won't be "adult" and Sarah Jane rocks, so I still have some hopes. :-)
