(no subject)

I vaguely went back to sleep between about 1pm and 4pm. I say vaguely because I think someone is moving in, probably upstairs, or at least moving large and clunky furniture. So I kept on getting woke up by things going 'thunk' the other side of the wall from my head.
Don't know why I'm tired. Possible I'm just lazy.

I have to decide if I'm going round mum's for Doctor Who again later. If Doctor Who were the main point it would be daft, because my digital TV is plugged in (mum got a box for Christmas but doesn't use it) and I can get nifty things like subtitles, BBC3, and the info box to tell me if it has started yet. And also a mute button, which I call an absolute necessity when waiting for the end of that dance thing. Plus my channel 5 is properly working, and Buffy is on tonight.

However the actual main point, since I grrrrrr at the new Who, is to watch Stargate DVDs and eat food with mum and chat. Which is not so easy to do here. I already invited mum round, but she said no, on account of the lack of seating.

Mum already knows I'm kind of tired today and not much wanting to stomp across town when I don't got to. She doesn't either, which is the other reason she isn't coming here. But the visiting thing is all nice and social, so I feel like double lazy if I don't go.

Is a dilemma.


eta: Buffy is not a factor this week on account of Channel 5 cleverly put it on at the same time as Doctor Who. Futile much? If it was first run, sure, but infinite repeat such as it is, no so useful.

Right now there is the film DARYL. The mom is called Joyce. Huh.

Doctor Who: Father's Day

How much do I not like this episode?

When it finished my mum, who has no particular investment in Doctor Who, isn't a fan, and probably hadn't thought of it since it went off air the first time unless we brought it up, said "The Rose Tyler show should not have been allowed to take over Doctor Who."

I could not agree more. This show is not Doctor Who. And I don't say that just because I dislike Rose (though I do, quite intensely), I say that because this week managed to ignore a quarter century of canon and most importantly run contrary to the basic ethos of the show.

I am likely to finish watching the season. But by now it isn't because I like or expect to like or seriously hope to like the new episodes, it is just because once I'm in a habit it is hard to quit.

I don't count this new show as being in the same universe as my Doctor, let alone the same character.

Just call me a cranky old fan.

Okay, a cranky 27 year old fan, but you get what I mean.
*sigh*
Actually most of my f-list doesn't seem to. I mean y'all like this season. Often for the exact reasons I dislike it.
And my mum agrees with me about it. Yet is willing to watch it with me anyway.
Is interesting what brings a family together :)
