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.

BTW did anyone see John Barrowman on Richard ad Judy tonight? He was talking a little about Torchwood. Sweetish he said was when they offered him the spin off and as much as he was honoured he as "but does that mean I'm not in Doctor Who anymore?" and was relieved when they said he was still in that too. I love his priorities!

What? Ok I have one problem wth that, I missed a talk with a memeber of Doctor Who's cast? I will never forgive myself
And yay for that, number one, yay for him wanting to do Doctor Who, and yay for them telling him he is! Does this mean he will do one series of Torchwood only then? I cant see any actor managing Doctor Who and another show at the same time, not after hearing about the demanding schedule of the show
Oh well, he has great on screen chemistry with Billie, and did with Chris, just hope he does with David as well

lol he was always irregular! Oh, you mean not always in the series? I doubt they will cross over as Torchwood is more adult than Doctor Who and the character may not be able to fit into both shows without altering his personality in each crossover

Okay, now that I've FINALLY gotten around to seeing the Christmas Invasion, can I say how absolutely BRILLIANT it was?
'Cause trust me, it was!
Tennant is a fabulous addition to the cast. I'd been a bit skeptical (as someone said, Eccleston is a tough act to follow), but that was all put to rest as soon as the Doc came staggering out of the TARDIS to say "Merry Christmas" to Mickey and Mum and then promptly keeling over.
The new Doctor takes his "no second chances" thing very seriously, doesn't he? Six words and the new PM is on her way out.
As for whether or not it was the right decision, I tend to side with the Doctor. The Enemy was defeated in fair combat, offered no resistance and was leaving peacefully when they were more or less shot in the back. And let's keep in mind that according to the Doctor, the whole blood control thing wouldn't have gone much further than it did because the survival instinct is too strong. I interpret that to mean that all those people on the rooftops would NOT have jumped. Bit of an elaborate bluff? Either way, while I can understand the need to show a bit of force, I'd have been more inclined to fire a warning shot than to blow up the ship. I think Earth is in a far more dangerous position because of that decision. It might show that we're "strong", but it also shows that we are without honor. And despite Harriet Jones blowing off the US President with the comment about not wanting to start a war, I think that is precisely what she's done. It'll be interesting to see what happens as a result.
Meanwhile, the killer brass band and the Whirling Christmas Tree of Doom were both very cool, but... exactly where do they fit in to anything? Just a sleight of hand trick or will they come into play at some other point in time? I know the Doctor said they accompany sharks, but I didn't see a lot of connection between the "fish" and the Sycorax. Especially since the fish (whatever they were) were more interested in the Doctor than in the whole planet whereas the Sycorax were decidedly more interested in the planet. Ah well. A few niggly inconsistencies (or threads to be picked up later), but still loved the ep.
Liked the Torchwood references and I'm more curious than ever to see what it's all about. Agree on the likelihood that Capt. Jack was on the ship that crashed ten years ago, but assuming the series it to be set in "current" times, that'd make Jack ten years older, wouldn't it? Or is he ageless? Should probably find a Torchwood thread for that.
I missed the Arthur Dent bit, when was that? I DID catch the Lion King thing and it made me laugh. Probably because it took me a minute to place it. lol. Plus, I do that kind of thing all the time- start to quote something and then say, "Oops, wrong movie."
Can't wait for series 2!Comment
