On the topic of Who...

I just saw the latest Xmas special for "Dr. Who", courtesy of a friend's zealous fan-power.

I agree with said friend's appraisal of it. It wasn't great. It wasn't bad.

There were neat parts, but I'm really, really tired of some of Russel Davies' trademark story elements.

I get what he's trying to do. Part of me approves. The rest of me doesn't like someone trying to "sanitize" history the way he does.

I get caught up in the details that way. That's probably why I hate most time-travel stories.

Still, it wasn't bad overall.

I have good friends.
