St Landrew

Might be nice to see this in the Arts forum, matey. Where people might appreciate it more. Especially as there is already a thread about this series there.

So about 11,492,793 miles, which is well over half the distance inside the orbit of Venus at closest approach, or about 48 times the distance of the Moon from the Earth. I'll not be loosing sleep just yet, S-i-P.

It started off with the columnist's own opinion, and then in the second half actually started reporting the interview. In a sense he is both right and wrong, at the same time. Us fans are just like Cortese. We are impatient, but we will wait the required time. And so, I believe, will Cortese. And this is where the Man from the Mirror doesn't get it.

If you're talking about the chance late on in the 2nd half, yes absolutely true. It reminded me of a particular volley against Newcastle in the mid 90's.

I'd go aloing with Arizona on this one: http://www.saints.co.uk/

Star Trek [iX] OK, so it's only been less than a year since I first saw it, but it still has that bite in it that the worst other ST films are missing. It's noticeable that, although the actors are changed, the roles they play are entirely familiar, and so this film isn't the culture shock one expects it to be. Yes, it is more like Star Wars in its pace, but that series never had the gravitas [pun not intended] either, despite the... may the force be with you, bullsh!t. I won't go into the story, as plenty of people will have not seen this one yet, but suffice to say, the writers must have spent long nights trying to get the plot to fit into the Star Trek canon, without seeming to be improbable, and they almost managed it. I can imagine one of them suddenly shouting, Eureka..! I've got it... before explaining a story outline where the lives of Kirk and Spock, etc... are sent off in a different direction in an alternate timeline. It means that all the original Star Treks are in place, and the writers can, in future sequels, pretty much do as they please, whilst occasionally dipping back into the Star Trek of old, and having a fine set of rules to run by. Add in a ready made and captive audience, if they play their cards right, and this series could run and run. But hopefully not too much more like Luke.

Good, one less Soap style drama. Get rid of Eastenders, Coronation Street, etc... and replace them with intelligent programming and I might start watching TV again. I won't hold my breath on that one.
