I had exactly the same problem with "I,Robot" because that's my favourite ever book but I was damned if I'd watch anything with Will bloody Smith in it!! :shock:
Better than I expected to be honest. Williams performance is quite underplayed, for a change.BlackRiverFalls said:Is it any good Pietro? That was my favourite Asimov story ever, avoided the film as i didn't think i could face Robin Williams murdering it for me...

The villian was a bit of a cliche though... evil robotic creatures with living tissue inside them created by a mad genius in a wheelchair. Now where have I heard that before? Ah yes, Davros.

barfing_pumpkin said:And a real cliffhanger, too, without one of those you-can't-help-watching-it-even-though-you-know-you-shouldn't spoilers at the end. Pity said cliffhanger was so like the one at the end of 'The Empty Child' from last season - once more, the Doctor and pals get surrounded by droning nasties (and it looks like 'Delete!' is going to become the Cyberman equivalent of the Daleks' 'Exterminate!'), though I'm dying to find out how they get themselves out of it.
To escape from the cybermen on all sides - the Dr does have a recharging battery in his pocket - when fully charged it can potetnially get the TARDIS back online so we're looking at something powerful so a quick partial discharge will pack a powerful punch and disable / kill the cybermen allowing our heroes to escape. Also I think Mickey will die saving things next week. Mind knowing our luck it will be Rickey who dies and we still get stuck with Mickey.
Yes. He did seem to fit the part better than any real life British politicos that I can think of.gncxx said:Oh yeah, and Don Warrington as British President... after seeing his long suffering self on Grumpy Old Men, I like that idea...

I hope they don't get rid of Mickey. The Doctor and Rose are just a bit too close and giggly. Mickey has growth potential and is much more the type to ask questions, so that the Doctor can explain things, or to attempt to explain things himself, for the benefit of the audience. He's also a dab hand with the computer hacking and funny.Timble2 said:gordonrutter said:Also I think Mickey will die saving things next week.

I'm guessing that it's Ricky who dies and Mickey has to take his place, eventually staying on in the parallel universe to look after his Gran.
I'm hoping for a spectacular piece of airship destruction too...

Maybe this parallel Earth is Mondas? Maybe I'm thinking too much, and should just sit back and enjoy the show...gordonrutter said:Who is to say this is not the way Mondas developed in the parallel universe?Pietro_Mercurios said:It does seem a bit odd.

Shirley Valentine? I can remember when that young miss was very much "below stairs"and having it off with the Bellamy's chauffeur, as the scheming flippertygibbet, Sara Moffat.Peripart said:... Torchwood, we now know that Shirley Valentine (er, sorry, Queen Victoria) set it up, ...
Why not tell us what you think, GaddafiDuck!GadaffiDuck said:... I've also noticed that because the esturine twang is no so ubiquitous, nobody, unless born to a posher family, can seem to master the vowels and consonants of an educated (read posher) accent. How sad.
