High Noon and Relative Dimension in Space
I wondered what Lindalee would make of “A Town Called Mercy,” which has somewhat more mature and complex themes than the previous two episodes. She gets the gist, but does seem less enthusiastic about this one. As always, SPOILER ALERT:
A puzzle about this episode: why is Amy suddenly so incompetent with guns, when last week she and Lestrade took out a whole pack of velociraptors with their rifles?
Reptile Spacebus: Second Stop
Here’s four-year-old Lindalee Rose again, this time with a review of “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.” As before, SPOILER ALERT:
“He kissed him! Isn’t that great?” – Lindalee
Reptile Spacebus
Best thing about tonight’s Doctor Who episode: Amy getting to play Doctor.
Milk and Eggs: Third Helping
A four-year-old girl – the indomitable Lindalee – explains the plot of “Asylum of the Daleks” (so, serious SPOILER ALERT):
Maybe all the viewers who complain that Steven Moffat’s scripts are too complicated should contact this kid and ask her to explain it to them.
Atlas Shrunk, Part 13: If You Saw Atlas, Knees Buckling
Behold, a teaser and a trailer for Atlas Shrugged, Part II. (The teaser is described as a preview of the trailer, but it has different scenes.)
As with Part I, I wish I could find this more intriguing. Adama’s dad looks like an improvement as Francisco, but otherwise it seems just as lackluster as its predecessor – just as much a failure to capture the stylised feel of Rand’s fictional universe. Also, I found the introduction of the term “capitalism” jarring; to my recollection it never appears in the novel.
