A lovely day - the hottest weather we've had this year. I met
maeve_the_red and
la_marquise_de and their respective other halves in town, went in search of scrumpy and a cream tea, with partial success, and then walked round the Chalice Well. It's looking beautiful at this time of year, full of fiery tulips.
After this, we came back to the ranch, cooked, admired Sid up a tree (photos may follow), ate dinner outside and then watched DR WHO. Spoilers ahoy.
GRIDLOCK was ludicrous but fun. Like others on the f-list, I find it hard to imagine that no one, in 20-some years, came up with the idea of carpooling, although they'd probably all have died if they did. Bizarre in the extreme to see Father Dougal as a jolly Irish cat-person. T professed himself to be profoundly disturbed by the kitten family.
When the roof of the motorway came off, and the Doctor told everyone to 'drive up!' someone in the room rightly remarked that this should really have been 'Level ONE drive up. Then Level Two, then...' The number of insurance claims following this must have been massive.
Martha seems fine. Alas, despite my fanfic origins elsewhere, I come from a generation where any companion who didn't whine, scream, or need to be rescued too often was fine. I suppose I have the mentality of a 10 year old boy where this is concerned: I just can't care about all the angst over Rose/not-Rose/Martha whatever. Get on with it! More interested in the SF-nal content of Who and there was some this week, even if was full of plot holes.
I did think the mutual embrace and cry of 'Novice! It's been so long - oh wait, when I last saw you, you were doing genetic experiments on humans!' was funny.
Big thank you to
maeve_the_red for last week's ep. I shall probably watch this today.

And there's someone in a tree —
OLD MAN
— Or the day is incomplete.
BOTH
Without someone in a tree,
Nothing happened here.

Date: 2007-04-15 08:49 pm (UTC)I suspect the interweb will break out in a rash of photos of the Doctor covered in kittens, meeting various sf requirements in one go.
Sadly I had to hear the doctor say "I'm having kittens too" to realise that those were genuine rather than substitute offspring. I'm afraid special-effect kitty's "Ma - ma" miaow was lost on me.
