[suspicious] Which bit of Buffy did you try?

LetZygonsbeZygons · 28/11/2013 17:36

did that sound rude? Grinsame as Matt Smiths jammie dodgers!!

and Ill prepare for another flaming as I cant stand Babylon 5 or any joss weedon or whatever the name is. Farscape,(hated when Ben Browder and that awful woman joined stargate) the one with Nathan Dillon (see, did give them a try).

we're proper Whovians here more than anything.

How is it possible to not like Buffy Confused

TheDoctrineOfWho · 28/11/2013 20:03

Was it The Initiative? Or one where Spike was singing that jeffin' poor maiden song?

MavisGrind · 28/11/2013 20:41

It is indeed Richard II which requires the hair extensions - I saw it at Stratford and it he was wonderful!

I'm also partial to a bit of Buffy, particularly Once More With Feeling. Great Stuff.

cornflakegirl · 28/11/2013 21:21

You're allowed not to like Buffy. Or even hitchhiker. But you must try them. Like broccoli.

I'm with you on B5. DH made me watch quite a lot of them. So much bad, bad acting. A few good bits, but not enough.

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 29/11/2013 00:03

It just seems so fundamentally unlikely that PMcGM wouldn't like Buffy that I can't help feeling that there must have been some kind of hideous mistake... Grin

It was Riley, wasn't it?

Actually, I don't hate Riley as much as everyone else in the universe does

HarrietJonesPM · 29/11/2013 08:05

Ok re watching again.

JH says ' I won't remember I tried to save Gallifrey rather than burn it'. Meaning that CE/DT still believe it burnt?

SoupDragon · 29/11/2013 08:21

Meaning that CE/DT still believe it burnt?

Yes.

I'm still not sure why though.

SoupDragon · 29/11/2013 08:22

I'm re-reading HHGTTT at the moment and it's not as good as when I read it years ago :( I am distraught!

PaulMcGannsMistress · 29/11/2013 08:28

I'm largely a Buffy fan. Some of it is a bit smug, but mostly it's marvellous.

CE and DT will think they burnt Gallifrey to maintain the internal consistency the the series since 2005. It's quiet a brave attempt at avoiding the reset button but not wiping out the show's history.

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 29/11/2013 08:34

Ooops, sorry, I was reading late at night and got muddled. PMcGM does like Buffy, so my faith in human nature is restored. It's Zygons who has failed to see the light.

Zygons seems like a pretty good egg, though, so I still find it odd.

SoupDragon · 29/11/2013 08:56

Or, more accurately, it's a "Oh shit - we need to cover the fact that they can't remember this... how can we do that? I've got it...!"

PaulMcGannsMistress · 29/11/2013 09:15

Exactly Wink In the words of Rose to Mickey "Now you're getting it..." Grin

aww, thank you Anadventure Thanks I am nice, honest!!!!

I have pretty weird eclectic taste in things!

Phew, I just finished reading last week's Radio Times, there was SO much DW stuff in it. Did anyone try the Blipp thing for extra content? Also did anyone see that 15 min show Through The Lens (or something like that)

Weknowwhoyouare · 30/11/2013 20:19

I missed loads and have been frantically trying watch on iplayer before it disappeared. Graham Norton was fun!

( HarrietJones btw trying out a new name)

LetZygonsbeZygons · 01/12/2013 17:27

Even though I didn't like TDOTD (Have I mentioned that already? Grin) I have missed DW this weekend!

such a manic week last week and weekend we were spoilt and then pfffft! balloon burst.

PaulMcGannsMistress · 01/12/2013 20:07

I know! I feel quite deflated this evening.

MavisGrind · 01/12/2013 20:56

Not long until Christmas though..!

confuddledDOTcom · 02/12/2013 02:44

Anyone else feel like their advent calendars are counting down to DW not Christmas?

Davros · 02/12/2013 09:32

Has anyone seen a DW advent calendar anywhere? I know it's already December but we could switch from the crap Mars one I got DD in morrisons

Weknowwhoyouare · 02/12/2013 13:25

Dd2 got one with the comic last month

LetZygonsbeZygons · 02/12/2013 17:26

Davros think I saw them in poundland, but they are SOMEWHERE. like the SIlence, lurking around Grin

PaulMcGannsMistress · 02/12/2013 17:33

I haven't seen any, but then I hardly ever leave the house...
