Doctor Who/Torchwood

[Foetus In Fetu]

No comment on the Shakespeare Code?

I know: with a name like that I almost didn't watch it too.  

[Shadow of an Illusion]

I didn't know it was called that so I watched it.

It was good.

Joking?!

I just saw it today.. I really don't need to say that I loved it, I think we can take that as read.

Anyhoo.. I loved Shakespeare himself, I think the writer might have had a bet on on how many quotes he could shoehorn into the script, Martha was really good in this episode- just like I hoped she would be. Witches were a bit crap- I didn't like the masks but the creatures that came through at the end were a cool design, if not a very convincing CGI. The Globe was a fantastic location, I loved the "Hey nonny nonny". Why did they even bother with Queen Elizabeth at the end, it seemed really unecessary, I'm sure something will have got cut somewhere that made it seem so wierd a turning, perhaps it was just a bit of a shoddy way to get them out of there.

Queen Elizabeth was clearly a plant for a later episode.

The witches were some of the worst villains ever, but I got the Shakespeare reference. The pop culture references were generally ace.

lol, But that will date so quickly. Clearly a set-up for the "Expelliarmus!" bit at the end.

"It's like Back to the Future." Cue plot synopsis for people who haven't seen it.  

[Shadow of an Illusion]

I liked the Queen bit. It was so unnecessary it was good.

Are you doing lit. as well lang.?  

[Foetus In Fetu]

No, just language.

We were talking about the effect that Shakespeare had on the English language (three thousand neologisms, apparently).  

[Boolean Julian]

I made three thousand and one.  

[Foetus In Fetu]

Well, I invented the verb "to neologise".  

[Boolean Julian]

I created a company that deals in neologisms called "Neologistics".  

[Foetus In Fetu]

I invented a new system of logic called "neologic".  

[Shadow of an Illusion]

I missed last weeks. I was working. They have started giving me free alcohol, though I think I'd prefer Dr Who.
