| Idina, Nick007 has a very good point. You need to reassure your BF that he is much better than the other people etc.. and in various ways, not just the bedroom. Tidier, easier to live with, someone you'd rather be with etc... Spend a little while doing some reassurance and then write a letter to him... |

| I can understand that you like this story but I don't know that I'd give it a perfect 10. As a child, I hated this story with a vengeance. It's the sort of story that the new series invented Psychic paper for. It spends about three episodes just getting the doctor to be trusted. ...and those shoulde... |

| I didn't mention it, partly because it was so blatantly obvious. And to be honest, both sides were Nazis, Kaleds and Thals. Both sides are quite evil but it's interesting when in the beginning sequence we have that shouting guy who makes the doctor empty his pockets (forgotten his name). He's shout... |

| gbollard, why didn't you comment on my Genesis of the Daleks review? Don't you have a second opinion or something? I want some comments... You gave it 10/10 so there was no room for comments. That's what I'd have given it too. :lol: BTW: I didn't think that the cybervoices were so bad in ROTC - act... |

| There were certainly flares in ROTC but they weren't of the solar variety, rather they were the cybermen's pants. Pros I love the cybermat sequences. It was a much better looking cybermat than the Troughton ones which look too cute. The virus was a great throwback to the moonbase. The cave sequences... |

| Bubble-wrap was harder to come by in the seventies but I remember that on the odd occasion when we'd get some, my sister would sit there popping madly but I'd just wrap it around my hand and try to strangle myself. |

| The Time Lords did give him a new set of regenerations, so the snake form and the Cheetah People abilities are probably right out. When was that? Did I miss it? Must have been one of the Novels. I wonder if those things really are "out" whether the regeneration process is supposed to sort out the a... |

| Yeah, sorry that came out wrong... We see the TCE's after-effects in several stories and I think once or twice we see the actual shrinkage (though quite poorly managed). The books describe it as having your insides squished - not shrunk - and in that sense it wouldn't be a great way to go. I'd love ... |

| There are a comments I have about Terror of the Autons; 1. The master and hypnosis. It's cool and it's a time lord ability that even the doctor has- though possibly to a lesser extent (Battlefield). It's weird that the Master never uses it in the new series. (except perhaps on his wife?) 2. Ditto th... |

| Sorry, I meant Terror of the Autons... It's funny how you start typing a Doctor Who title and it auto-completes in your head. Also funny that it corrects the (fair) Terror of the Autons to the superior Zygons (but never to the inferior Vervoids). Anyway, the Grain in TOTA is the worst I've seen in a... |

BTW: Terror of the Zygons is horribly grainy. |

| 1. If someone finds it devaluing to be considered a "disorder" there is nothing wrong with that. 2. The more people desire others to focus on a defect and self the more potential self-esteem and or emotional problems in potential. 3. There are more neutral ways to support a positive emotional well ... |

| None of those. I say "autistic" in place of "someone on the autistic spectrum." Asperger's will shortly cease to be a separate diagnosis, and good riddance to the imprecision and confusion the term brought. It is time for us to get used to the fact that we are autistic. It's a nice idea but I feel ... |
