I wasn’t really in the mood for it (count the number of Terminator-inspired visual references if you find yourself bored) and so half-watched it really. The ending tries to bring a “legendary” aspect into it and is laughably po-face. See you’ve set me off. Maybe you *will* enjoy it though, stranger things happen and all that… I look forward to your review after you’ve seen it. I must admit I almost hope you *don’t* like it as your review-smackdowns are hilarious! Have a good weekend.

No acting there.

I will have to wait to see Gunmen take the BBC later tonight or tomorrow. We shall see. Meh is better than lots of things you could have said, so maybe I’ll like it.

I’ve seen things that looked like the Master’s TCE but they were a different kind of “toy”.
I half-watched A Town Called Mercy. Meh. Lots of potential wasted. Clunky attempts at “significance”. A cyborg straight out of Red Dwarf (in an odd way Gunmen of the Apocalypse was a more satisying sf western than this) tho’ his gun looked kuhl (in the dark at least). It doesn’t make me want to eviscerate it, it was just so… Disappointing. It makes me feel *sad* more than anything (not that I’m feeling happy-go-lucky, anyway ;) ). Haven’t read any reviews yet I guess they’ll be full of praise. Perhaps you liked it? It was kind of nice to see Ben Browder tho’ he didn’t get much to do. I thought Karen/Amy looked good. Looking forward to your review.
