Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
Really old Doctor Who is great, they make sure that all of the special effects are outlined in blue or orange so you don't miss that they're special effects!

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

to be honest atleast Dr Who is original and not tainted by the chucklefucks who made Voyager etc (Terra Nova specifically).

I always feel like it's all tongue in cheek

yeah that pirate planet arc was written by Douglas Adams so I'm pretty sure a lot of it was tongue in cheek

I think the reason I'm enjoying it is that it's so utterly different from American sci fi in that there's only a couple permanent characters instead of the typical pan-ethnic ensemble full of at least one of each personality stereotype, the most recent ones with more reoccurring characters are less appealing

plus the pacing is insane, it's like they're trying to cram the most stuff in per episode

It's not high art by any stretch of the imagination and it's cheesy as gently caress, I think it's mostly appealing because I haven't been constantly exposed to its particular cliches for the last 30 years

also the thing that's easy to forget about dr who is that if you are a child it is loving ultra terrifying.

I remember I saw a tom baker episode where people are turned into crystals if they touch something and it freaked me out so much I had nightmares

Moffat's crimes continue in 2012. Sherlock and Moriarty have both morphed into The Doctor, every paragraph ends with 'Clever you,' and Irene Adler has River Song's voice.

best thing about Doctorin' the Tardis is that it was basically the KLF creating a theory on how to get a number one hit in the UK with the least effort and money and then following through.

those are the test episodes they did to see if converting the entire series would be worth the effort, they're just selling them early because star trek nerds have more money than sense

Well that's good. I do miss the days of ILM models, re-watching Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered County reinforce that.

EDIT: That's not to say that ILM can't do good CGI, I think Redtails is the best looking plane CGI in ages.
