  1. There are Moffat haters, who are now saying that Moffats who is full of forced sentimentality, the end of the seasons are always a cop out, the episodes are all about the companion and the 11th doctor mopes too much and cant move on when his companion goes.

    They say that none of that happend under RTD???

  2. From the SFX review of the book

    The pattern pieced together from multiple sources is so troubling that Richard Marson feels compelled to address the elephant in the room. “Was John Nathan-Turner a paedophile?”, he asks. He concludes that there is no evidence that he was. Nathan-Turner and Downie may have made indecent propositions and (particularly in Downie’s case) pursued them forcefully. Their targets may also often have been under the homosexual age of consent at the time – 21 – but as Marson points out, that was an unjust law. It’s equally true that JN-T was not alone when it came to inappropriate behaviour – plenty of straight male BBC employees used their aura of celebrity to wow youthful conquests too. He doesn’t deserve to have additional opprobrium heaped on him simply because he was gay.

  3. I've not read any Pournelle outside of this book, but I can certainly give them a look.

    They are great. Every few hundred years Humans are brought to an ailen planet. Some soldiers from 1979 are taken there, and their captain, must use what he knows about military history to fight the Romans, the celts and knights from the middle ages. Then bring all the groups together.

  4. Go to Netflix. Start with the beginning of the new series ("Rose") and keep going from there.

    I dont think Rose is a good place to start anymore. From what I can see, many new fans, now look at the first couple of series. In the same way a lot of new fans looked at the classic series back in 2005. viewing it as corny and cheap looking. Now its the RTD fans turn to get defencive.
