Indeedy do. I like 'Series 3', I found it the most consistant of Tennant's run, but yes, Martha is a funny one. There's an attempt to establish her with all that family stuff, but Davies quickly backs away from all that in case we all think he's just giving us another Rose. As a result, no one knows...

I will be willing to bet you will wind up hating River with a passion as her return appearances mount up though. The big problem with her is so much of her history happening 'off camera', it makes her unconvincing, although her origin was pretty awesome, i thought. Its diminishing returns for her a...

The whole Rose thing could well have done a real mischief on future companions, because they're going to be a bit of a case of after the lord mayor's show if they're not the key to life, the universe and everything like she was (and hopefully they're not). None of the previous companions were all t...

I am sad Mary Tamm is dead :( I think Cliffy will probably hate the last two Tenant episodes...they are just...well, its RTD chucking everything but the kitchen sink into his episodes. Actually, no there's a kitchen sink as well. Visible in the Noble's house. Although it's a dragged out a lot, Tenna...

Ooh, i found Death's Head 3.0 rather fun to read. It's only interesting (and i loose the term loosely) for the final splash page which has the mechanoid introduced here adopt the familar spiked lower jaw of the original, which hints that what we have just sat through is the 'true' origin of Death's...

Top picks from IDW...hmm... Probably: All Hail Megatron - good , knockabout fun. Doesn't really rely on that much prior knowlegde - Huntstreaker is explained along the way - just suffers from the aforementioned 'bum-scratching' that doesn't add anything to proceedings. Oh, and the miraculous recover...

Not a fan of four issue TPBs myself, unless its a four issue mini series, longer story arcs don't fit the format well, escpeically as unlike in the last decade, editors don't seem to be asking writers to aim for four-part arcs in the main with most story arcs still running to six issues. Might expla...

Back To The Future Trilogy and Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (which I know will be rubbish, but I like Ghost Rider and can't help myself)

I picked up another two the other day, Armada Scavenger and Armada Powerlinx Red Alert. I'd owned Treadbolt (the Energon repaint) of Scavenger and thought he was silly , clompy nonsense. There's just something quite charming about the silly brick, so I thought I'd give the Armada version a whirl. I ...

I don't think thats quite what Dalek is saying - the earth based set up of MF and its opening gambit of having the Transformers among us (even guiding us) is bang on. Its junking the stuff with the kids, not keeping it.

well, this thread has rekindled my interest in the Armada line and I've gone to the no effort of picking some figures up second hand off of ebay. Megatron w/ Leader-1- by crikey, I'd forgot how much I love this toy. Not much in the way of articulation (although clearly could have had a bit more done...

Heh. That sounds awesome :) I finished the E-Space trilogy with Warriors Gate, which I enjoyed, but was a bit fidgety throughout as it seemed quite slow moving - at odds with the jeopardy of being trapped in a contracting universe. Romana's goodbye seems a little abrupt and sudden leading to a very ...

I absolutely love my Constructicons. I always wanted them as a small boy, and was so pleased to get a good condition loose set a few years back. And the Euro non-combining ones. And the G2 ones. And the Encore ones. I really like the individual robot forms, the cool little vehicle forms and the clev...

Well, Batman :TAS was from 1992 and Batman Beyond from 1999 and neither of those have active toylines to promote (come to think of it, neither does the recent 'The Batman' cartoon, toys from which came and went with no one noticing). So Dalek's point about them being cheap schedule filler is correct...

They did try and do Thundercats ten years ago, am I the only poor bugger who remembers the future sex slave comic? I am aren't I?

Or like that other Pertwee one where bits of it existed in black and white and folk went to great lengths to colour it in? I has watched State Of Decay. I have noticed th...

Ah the Unicron Trilogy. Beloved of children, not so much by grown ups who should know better. With Armada, I really liked the designs that a lot of the toys had going for them. I also really like Dreamwave's profile book they did for the toys which is preferable to the comic they produced. Anyway, I...
