    The rocket in Planet of the Ood, awful.
    Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

    I vote for the beetle in Turn Left. It looked like it was made of cheap plastic. It probably was.

    I vote for the TARDIS being burnt to a crisp in the ending of series four, when the Daleks try to send it to the furnace with Donna inside, that was bloody awful, the idea was a peice of shyte to begin with, the execution was dire and don't even get me started on the fake as FOOK special effects.


    P.S: please don't construe that with a hatred of Dr Who, sure it's not the best of the best, but it aint the worst either!!, Dro who is cool, it's dull in parts and it dosen't try to pretend it's not...however in recent series it seems to have suffered a bit of a gradious disorder, trying to compete with the big-uns, why!!!?

    Dr Who should look cheesy at times, be sill and daft in parts, it's what makes Dr Who, but some times, I think the New Series seaons have taken themselves a tad too serious.

    post-post script (P.P.S): Britain is cool...I should know I live there...peace out all "V"

    I thought about posting here... and then I got back to watching the episodes I have left from Pertwee's era. I'm sorry, there are no bad effects in the new series....
    Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
    Yes, I am!
