Been feeling very 'meh' lately so haven't got round to posting, but here's some stuff!
1. For my Intoabar assignment, to meet Giles I was given Najia Khan (Doctor Who). My first reaction was 'Who???'. After a few moments, I realised I'd literally just rewatched Arachnids in the UK and that this was Yaz's mum. Wish I'd been paying more attention while I was watching! Will have to go back and watch it again. But an okay character. She's brave and up for an adventure, at least. At the moment, I'm picturing Giles rocking up to the hotel after the episode, having heard about the mutant spiders, or something. I did think briefly about some flashbacks to them having met in his Ripper days, but I think Najia's a bit young for that. Will see if anything comes to me!
2. She-Hulk. Jackster and I just finished watching this series and, whilst Tatiana Maslany has been very good in it, it's mostly bored me and all the fourth wall breaking annoyed me. Until the last pair of episodes, when the introduction of Matt Murdock and some actual chemistry finally had me sitting up, and then the mega-fourth-wall-breaking had me giggling like a schoolgirl (is that the right phrase?) and really loving it for going there.
3. Doctor Who: Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Got this on DVD for Christmas and finally got round to watching it. Really, really enjoyed it. Strong script, good story, amazing cast of actors, and even the dinosaurs didn't look as dodgy as I'd been led to expect. It was 1973 for goodness sake! I thought they were pretty amazing for the time, and the story more than made up for any failings in the special effects anyway. I'm not a huge Sarah Jane fan but thought she really shone in this, her second story, and I've decided that Jon Pertwee is quite possibly my favourite Doctor after Peter Capaldi. So suave and cool and funny. The UNIT guys had a lot of good stuff in this one too, including the surprise of Mike Yates turning traitor. A really interesting story, which I enjoyed re-watching with the commentary and informative captions.
