How did you manage to avoid that spoiler? I thought it had been one of the most talked about plot points of the crossover.

Haven't seen much of her in action yet and she's yet to wear the costume. Based on what I've seen so far I think I'll like her. If getting Laurel back wasn't an option this isn't the worst choice they could have made. I like that they've gone with Dinah Drake as her name in a nod to the original...

It's definitely much closer in tone to the books than the Judy Garland movie/musical. But for most people The Wizard of Oz meant Judy Garland and not the books. So with this being labelled as a sequel, the change in tone was unexpected and not what people wanted. I think that if they had done...

I think a large part of it was simply the fact that it wasn't what people were expecting. Plus the kid was pretty annoying.

Not even close.

I didn't really find that too unbelievable. What I did find unbelievable was the idea that a zoo full of dinosaurs would find it so hard to keep customer levels high that they would need to invent a new dinosaur.

Interesting description given that it didn't really provide any moments of horror or thriller.

It's a shame that they forgot this when they got to the later movies and turned him into a superhero instead.

I believe the writers strike had an effect on this. I've seen it twice now and still don't really have any idea what's happening. It feels like they filmed all the action scenes and then the writers strike hit, leaving them without any exposition scenes so they just edited together what they had...

I don't think that's necessarily true. Unfortunately it's definitely what television executives think. A good example of the difference you describe between way a pilot for a show like this would be done now is Star Trek. The original series started part way into a 5 year mission with no back...

If the show had to end at that time, this wasn't a bad story to go out on. The acting was good (especially Anthony Ainley who was able to be much less over the top than he was usually required to be and Sophie Aldred was fantastic). Special effects were pretty ordinary unfortunately, although...

I had a mixed reaction on first viewing, but in hindsight its a pretty good episode to appeal to both classic series fans and introduce the concepts to new fans. It's a bit cheesy in places and it feels like they were all still finding their feet in terms of what they wanted the series to be...

Ashbridge Cottage Hospital in Epping. What are the diseased people on Terminus called?

The trailer looks good but I'm not convinced about the casting of Tom Cruise. He looks OK in the role and still seems to be considered a box office draw, but if they're planning a shared universe then they're considering something that should be ongoing for at least 10 years (Marvel are now at 9...

I remember picking up the book in a second hand book shop some time after having seen the movie and after reading it thinking "what were they thinking when they wrote the script?" The book was so much better and I'd love to see a decent movie based on it.

I got into comics in the 90's with the Death of Superman story. Started with Superman and branched out into other related titles. It wasn't that I disliked Marvel, just that I enjoyed a range of DC comics and tended to stay within that group for crossovers etc and because I simply couldn't...

Haven't taken the time to see that yet. I'm guessing from your comment that you're not a fan? Possibly even that the characters are not as lovable as one might hope?

True For now I'll work on the assumption that the Doctor has mistakenly walked in on a group of Cybermen attending a fan fiction costume party.

Does this mean we're going back to a very early period in the Cybermen's history? Could we even hope for an origin story along the lines of Spare Parts?

He'd fit well with the rumours that they want to cast a younger, good looking Doctor.
