Very much WIP, but here's my 1st take on Castle Of Glass by Linkin Park. Ignore the end. I also have a cold.

Or maybe we should consider just not discussing Star Wars directors until it's 100% confirmed. The choice of director is all over the place, and between the Disney takeover and now, almost all the directors have been rumoured to be taking on Star Wars. Remember Irvin Kershner? Yeah, prior to ESB, he made little of importance. After ESB? He made RoboCop 2. Richard Marquand's only merit is RotJ. Only one worth mentioning.
It doesn't matter who does it, as far as he/she does it well.

It's probably OK to answe all, but to not even ask ONE? Dude.

Starting with Smith means you get to start with higher production values and overall better acting that series 1. The problem then is going back to "when it was crap for a while there". Which it wasn't. It's always been silly and low budget, and should be viewed as such. How many episodes did he watch? If he got to "The Empty Child" and still didn't like the show, odds are he won't at all.

EDIT:

My viewing order was Eleventh Hour, and THEN Rose. Both after I got the general gist of the show from the Rowan Atkinson 1999 comedy special. I liked Smith enough, liked Eccleston even more. Once you know how the show works, you appreciate the characters and story over the production value.

...Fantastic.

Steampunk 2077. Game coming from the makers of The Witcher.
Great trailer, great choice of music.

The track is "Bullet" by Archive, from the album "Controlling Crowds". You should check them out.

yes, but in Series 6, we got "The Doctor's Wife", which is one of the best episodes to date.

Series 5 was a pretty good one, I'll admit, but for me, it's series 4. I liked having Donna around as the most human of the companions - one that has a strictly platonic relationship to the doctor. Both Rose and Martha fell for him, but Donna was in all honesty just a friend. Also, towards the end of the series, when things really start wrapping up, and not forgetting that we meet this new character called River Song, things got really fucking awesome. It doesn't work without having seen the series prior to it, though, so I'm not sure how that would go about.

Saniss: I'm leaving Vidina behind, after 10 years of using an online handle that's not related to me in any way, shape or form.

In other news, I've gotten around to watching "Genesis of the Daleks" now, and I'm halfway through "Revenge of the Cybermen", but DAMN. D_A_M_N that Genesis of the Daleks was really fucking good. Did NOT see that coming at all. I'm still no huge fan of Tom Baker, I mean he's alright, but that story was really engaging. Actually getting to know HOW the Daleks came about was thrilling. So thrilling indeed, that I stayed up until 3AM to complete all 6 episodes of it.

Steam is both excellent and horrible at the same time. When I bought Skyrim on a physical disc last year(2011, anyway), we only had a mobile broadband connection, and to my amusement, not only did I have to be online to INSTALL the game, Steam started download of the entire game, when I had it ON DISC.

I got to it just fine. I'm already paying for Creative Cloud, so I don't need it, but damn, that is a nice thing to do!

that sounds like fun, actually.

You know what'd be really cool, though? A mod that actually made the storyline quests progress with or without you. Not there when the dragon attacked the tower outside Whiterun? Oops, nobody know's you're dragonborn. Not around to stop Alduin? Well, goodbye most of the world.

It'd be cool if someone modded the game to account for your NOT being there. I mean, the game is just scripted events. A quest won't activate unless you're in a given area, and even then, the time doesn't matter. they all just wait around for you.

haha, that's pretty much how I played Oblivion. I knew there was this quest concerning the death of the Emperor, but beside from that, I don't think I ever cleared the main storyline.
