Midnight on the Train to The Sapphire Falls | We Are VENOM

Man, this week’s Doctor Who was spectacular. Just the right amount of mystery, paranoia and subtle terror that will make me stay away from cross-planetary diamond trains for years to come. It’s amazing the creepiness you can instill in a scene with just some clever sound technicians. The Spectacular Spiderman finale was also pretty decent, but the second half was just a biiiiiiiit too thick on all of Peter’s friends coming together to save Gwen and then the awful "power of friendship conquers all" ending. I expected better of you, symbiote. You got suckered in and defeated by the Care Bear Stare. Oh well, there’s always next season.

Oh yeah, and I’m messing around with Battle Goddess: Episode Zero, just slowly and with many many distractions. Expect a writeup in a couple of days though. It’s at least much much much MUCH better than Amaneka.

    Well, that’s good news.

    Oh I never knew you were a Dr Who fan. Thats cool. (By chance are you from the UK?)

    And alas most of the people(brothers, aunties, cousins) I talked to after the episode said the episode was boring. I mean it can’t be action and explosions all the time, this was more of a character and interaction based episode, I guess I’m the only one who saw it as that.

    I think silence in the library handled an unknown enemy better, and as creepy as that ladies makeup was nothing beats a walking skeleton in a spacesuit. The whole theme of “humans in bad situations are bad people” has been done better before, but I think really it was the actors’ insanely over-the-top acting that made me dislike the episode. Next week should be awesome though as the countdown to the finale begins.

    I didn’t like the Library episodes at all. River Song’s conversations at the start made no damn sense and everything was far FAR too drawn out. The Doctor knew what the problem was about 5 minutes in but didn’t share it for another 20 minutes.

    Also, the whole Ghost in the Shell thing was really painfully obvious. So much of Forest of the Dead was just really stupid fabricated overdrama. They pulled one person into the world from her Ghost, but then completely ‘forgot’ about it until the final 30 seconds of the episode. And the Doctor’s “There’s no wood here! Just books! No wood! Books! Books, books books! No wood! Books! … Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh” was just painful.
