Poor Good!Jack. Very Sad.

Hopefully, in time, his biceps will console him.

24 Day 8 Episode 17. Very sad.

And there's another reason why he and I are never meant to be. I wouldn't look good with a bullet hole in my tummy.

The Sorkin Agenda

So. The Beast Below was.....a Star Whale. And not a beast at all. Well, I suppose in the strictly biological sense... but not in the perjorative sense anyway.

I loved this one. It was beautiful. Almost as good as Gridlock. And the Sorkin Agenda continues - last week we had 'Who Da Man', this week we had the thing about the thing. And he did the thing. Etc. We also effectively had Mandyville - the place below.

What else was good? The reference to the Solar Flares. Amy Pond. LOVING Amy Pond. Utter nutter, so she is. But just exuding confidence and......agency. She's GOOD.

Also - was that a hint of The Dark Tower, hmmm, Mr Moffat? A Gunslinger (Liz 10) stuck in a loop which re-boots every time the Tower is reached? I think so. Oh yes.

Yep. This was really very good. The Doctor didn't do much, mind you......but he brought the funny and he did some good righteous indignation too. And of course, he had the (non-Sorkin) quote of the week 'I'll do what I always do. Keep out of trouble. Badly.' Gotta love the self awareness there.

Never Doubted Him Never Will (But Pertwee in Still Best Shock)!

So, then. The Eleventh Hour. Was it worth all the hoo hah, all the anticipation, all the angst, all the publicity, all the acres of newsprint, all the sleepless nights, all the trepidation?

I'm sorry.......have we met? OF COURSE it was. I've never doubted him, I never will, and he continues his unbroken run of not letting me down, rather, living up to frankly insanely high expectations.

The script was great (lots of loose ends though, Moff - did you think we didn't notice? It will all end in tears, sure as eggs). The acting was great. Amy (nut job though she clearly is) is going to be a great companion. Eleven is the Doctor. He's not *my* Doctor but he's *a* Doctor - a proper one, and will do a proper job, I reckon. The new Tardis looks great. Murray's music is wonderful (I do wonder if Amy's theme is trying to tell us something.......of course it is). The hommages to Spearhead in particular and Pertwee in general were fantastic (Troughton my ARSE. Pertwee love all the way. As it should be). The TWW gracenote was lovely. The montage of all ten previous Doctors made us scream with delight.

Bean loved it. Joey loved it. Roo loved it. Barry loved it. Tim loved it.

I loved it.

But Pertwee is still Best. He will always be MY Doctor. I'm sure he's glad to see the role still in good hands, though.

Some Reasons Why Sawyer is Best

And it's all lovely. But. But but but but. Me, I'd have focussed on the funny. The nicknames. The dimples. And, OK, yes, the shirtlessness. But mainly the nicknames. He brings the funny like nobody else on Lost. Without him it would be a dull and humourless place to be - despite Hurley's in your face supposed to be funny but actually sad antics. I like Hurley, but like everyone else (except Miles) he's only funny when he's teamed up with Sawyer.

Let's face it. Sawyer is best. And he rocks. And he has very nice shoulders.

A Better Mousetrap?

More humane, anyway.......

I really hope this doesn't mean what I think it does......I LOVE Ben. Probably second only to Sawyer.
