I have not heard of Blake 7. I might check that out.
Any thoughts on Torchwood? I think I saw maybe the first episode, and it seemed a bit dry and left it.
Really amazing how many Dr. Who Spinoffs there are. While I was looking at the catalog on Amazon adding up my watch list. I saw a OLD GOLDY of my teen years. And that was Tank Girl. A movie I enjoyed. And I watched it again 2 days ago. And I STILL love that movie.
Its weird however. Its seems like they deleted parts of it. Or they cut it weird from what I saw in the theatre. Not sure. But it sure seems like there are parts missing. Or maybe it was me. But man, going to the theatre to watch that was a Jolly fun time.
I know the movie did not do well in the box office. But at the time? Sure did not seem like it was doing bad and only made 6 million of its 20 million budget I found out yesterday.
And I remember my Favorite line of the movie.
BRUSH YOUR TEETH!
How does this relate to Dr. WHo? They just seem to have lost the edge. That spark. I think Green screen has something to do with it. And of course the fighting scenes etc. The action just seems a bit too muted.
Tank Girl will have cosplayers and halloween costumes for it forever. And they still do well after all these years.
I don't think the same is going to be said about Dr. Who. In fact the first Doc on Reboot was one of my Favorites.
He just had the pizzazz. Like this Energy. In fact everyone seemed to be so into character. I don't get that with the later versions of the show as much.
The lost the Drama portion and seemed to go for cheap storylines. Tank girl was a cheap story line for sure.
But it was done in a way that was outright Ludacris. Malcom Mcdowel played the perfect villain role. I mean who takes on a tank full of Beer Cans! And the extra animation to the story.
I can't point to anything out of the blue in the New Dr. Who as of late. It's so mundane. So predictable. And just lazy. They also seemed to forget that it was a Science show. They took out all the geekdom. Its just not there as it use to be.
Anyways. Here's to Hoping that the New season is actually good.
