And the follow up:

Just as quick intro for myself, Trey would be worried about some of my friends, who would just sit down and watch this movie.

Edit:
Also, Point du Hoc artwork, now termed "The Real Cliffs of Insanity"

Personally, I think there was enough of a difference, but you might be right about the writer. Nine was definitely my favorite Doctor, but the fact that there was only one season with him and then hit with a new Doctor was a little off putting. At least it was for me, as a new fan. Mostly because the people who are around Ten are a lot of the same who were around Nine so there isn't that much room for treating him different without basically reintroducing the series all over again. It might have been more affected by real world events than in universe.

And, for my part, the change from Nine to Ten was still off putting enough that it took me a while to warm up to Tennant. The relationship with Rose was one of the few things that made it work for me

Well, I'll keep a close eye on the thread, because it certainly is interesting to me, but my mic is just my laptop mic, but I hope to change that soon.

In the mean time, looks like things are cooking

Sounds like Trey's rant on the GI Joe commentary

Trust me, from what I read, the negotiations were not pleasant and the fact that we have Daleks at ALL in the new series is a minor miracle.

Regarding the Daleks,
I cannot confirm it (yet, but I'm trying) but the original creator of the Daleks, Terry Nation, had control of the appearance of the Daleks in the series. Now that he has passed away, his estate manages and agrees to when and where the Daleks can appear. I heard rumor (but cannot confirm it) that part of the agreement between BBC and Nation's estate was that the Daleks must appear in every season of new Who.

However, this is only a rumor I heard and I cannot confirm it 

There are aspects that I like, such as in "The Fires of Pompey" where the audience gets an insight in to how he views the universe as a Time Lord. That was such a wonderful and poignant insight, for me, that it will solidified how difficult it was for him to be alone.

But, having someone who gets his burden and having an actual discussion about what he has down, and the guilt he feels. I think there is a lot of depth that they could explore with having someone who understood.

Also, this is for Teague:

Ellen Page reminds me too much of a coworker.

Besides, Hollywood is full of pretty faces

So derailing this thread...sorry

So, I recently revisited this episode as I mowed my lawn and really am amazed at the observations regarding how the art of critiquing culture and being more of a film critic has fallen by the wayside. It often is interesting to me, and a recent chat with bullet3 and BDA was confirmed by this episode, namely that it will take a couple of generations but we will see a resurgence of culture and elitism. I honestly think that the current youngsters are less likely to tolerate 'splosions, and the action flick cinema for long. I really don't know why I think so, but having worked with teenagers for a little bit, I certainly see a little more of a gleam that might shape itself in to a more thoughtful consideration of art and media before long. So, despite the current complaints of "movies suck!" (exaggeration for the sake of a point-its a joke, we're walking, we're walking...) I believe it will get better.

Also, I decided to start reading about film criticism. Not because I want to become a critic, but because I really don't want to sit there and thinking that critics are blowing smoke just because of X, Y or Z in film critic school. I want to be more informed beyond my usual character examination that I normally do.

So, hey, look, Friends in Your Head is expanding my horizons

Having recently rewatched the "Pitch Black" trailer as well as bits of the "Chronicles" trailer, I think that the proof will be in the film itself, not in whatever trailer they throw out there.
I get that people are tired of CG, but I have a feeling, a gut instinct if you will, that they are holding back, giving Vin Disel the generic poses, so as not to spoil the movie. Call me an optimist

Also, as I learned from these and other boards, movies are what you make of them.
