Just saw this week's Doctor Who and you know, the episode was decent, all things considered, it had its moments, had some instances of human beings actually acting human, didn't feature any gratutitous kissing (at least, not involving Ten)...

...and then I saw the previews for next week before turning it off.

Oh god.

Oh god.

OH ~~JOHN RINGO~~ GOD NO.

I don't believe I've hollered "WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! NO!!" at my televised media display screen before with quite the fervor as I just did, and that includes the response to the concrete slab-fucker scene from a few seasons ago.

There's only one way this little premise could work and if what we see next week is not that way, I fear next week I will be hollering "RUSSELL T. DAVIES YOU ARE DEAD TO ME, DO YOU HEAR ME? OOPS NO, YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE YOU ARE DEAD TO ME."

Sigh.

You did not just rag on Red Dwarf, right?

I'm a bad Whovian, so I was all "his daughter"?

Which then led my wife into a monologue about how he was originally travelling with his granddaughter in the first series, and a short viewing of the original (?) Dalek episode where he stole her shoes.

Course not. However, I did think the eighth season was the weakest one (apart from Rimmer kicking Death in the goolies.) Then again I'm a fan of the first few seasons and well aware the show's tone has changed over time, so it's not the same show, but still.

Anyway.
