Dubya vs. the Daleks
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005There was a war raging in my living room tonight… the war between the Commonwealth and the United States. And, do you know who won? It was the Commonwealth of course!
As 8pm rolled along I started flicking channels. After noticing that Bush’s face was plastered all over every single American network I found I had no choice but to watch the Emperor’s speech or watch Canadian/British television. After watching about ten minutes of verbal diarrhea puke from his fundie mouth, I gave up and gave in to my desire to watch Doctor Who. I was quite pleasantly rewarded for my loyalty.
The season finale of Doctor Who was awesome… the pros of the show being the army of Daleks being deployed by the mothership, Rose being possessed by the Tardis itself and the doctor kissing Rose to remove the Tardis from her body. Unfortunately, I was disappointed at a couple of points by the use of 20th centure bullets 200,000 years in Earth’s future… I mean, what do the writers think- that we won’t develop our weapons after two hundred THOUSAND years!??
Regardless of this silly flaw, the episode was truly amazing. I am truly sad that Christopher Ecclestone will not be continuing as the doctor next season… he really was a treat. In his place, will be a younger prettier boy named David Tennant.
