Listened to this just now. Not a bad story, certainly not the best, and I think that the companion combination is starting to get a little stale now. I’m hoping that the 8th doctor will move on in the coming stories.
Month: June 2012
Going a bit retro
Unboxing the Raspberry
Slow progress. Very slow indeed.
Star Trek: A piece of the action
One of my all time favourite episodes, it’s excellent and very unusual for Star Trek, but lots of fun. I’m really enjoying the re-runs of Star Trek. Apart from seeing lots of episodes that I love there’s also quite a few that I’ve never seen, or at least that I can’t remember.
Ironclad
This was a strange film, at once very violent and also very slow. It had a very promising cast though and a story that wasn’t dull on the face of it, but even with all that it just didn’t seem to go anywhere really. Which seemed to be a shame.
The Trouble with Tribbles
One of the most famous Star Trek episodes. Yes, it’s funny, yes, it’s a bit silly, but it is a huge classic, and it can’t be ignored. After all, it inspired follow up episodes in the animated series and in the Deep Space 9.
It’s awesome.
Laurel Halo, Quarantine
I listened to this album for the first time today. It has an interesting structure and some great textures and sounds to it. I think I’ll probably need to listen to it a few more times to get into it, but it most certainly has my attention.
When I’ve digested it further I’ll write some more about it.
Doctor Who: Something Inside
Not the most wonderful of stories for the 8th Doctor. This one was ok, not the best, but ok. I get the feeling that it would have worked better if it was on TV.
A brief look at Samsung’s Galaxy SIII
I visited the O2 store and had a little play with Samsung’s SIII. My first impression was that it was very big, very big indeed. In fact, my iPhone 4 only just covers the screen of the SIII. But that sort of put me off a bit. It was so large that I wasn’t sure if I actually would get used to it.
Aside from size it has a very nice feel to it, but of course it is Android, and I’m still very much on the fence about a jump from iOS to Android. Of course, that could all change when iOS6 gets announced on Monday, we’ll have to see.
Listening to Grimes
So I’ve listened to 3 of Grimes’ albums and so far the one I really like is the last one, Visions. I really have enjoyed listening to that one, a lot. I hope that she keeps on making more albums like Visions.
