I think it works, because we all would like to think there was such a comic.

Sadly it was just a very clever spoof put together by Sprout, convincing wasn't it?

Before the megazine there were plans for a Judge Dredd comic which never came to light, that's where B.A.D. Company came from, a soap about block life that ended up in a special I think, and posssibly other bits and pieces.

Ha!  The McMahon Dredd art class was always a bit of a pisser.

1.  Draw an incredibly good picture of Dredd,  tuh Shading and everything.

2.  Rub out the shading, draw it in neet bold lines, while still maintaining it's utter fucking fantasticness.

3.  Ink it perfectly, you might want to get GOD to help you with the tricky bits.

Linda Smith had nothing funny to say so kept going on about the story as well, and this was a bit after the story had broke.  It obviously wasn't going to work.  Now she's dead, I can't help but wonder who next will succumb to the Curse of Angus Deaton.  Probably that old neighbour of his who he never got on with.

Ideally that Deadlock series would be, because it served as a postscript to the Nemesis series.

Indigo, I feel pretty much the same way.  I'm a huge GFD fan, and remember getting the titan books after hearing people rave about the VC's and... not being too keen.  There's nothing wrong with it, it's just one of those stories that never really clicked for me.  I have the original titans (won't sell just because it's part of my GFD collection, so don't ask).

Good it's getting rereleased though, it's hard to get and quite sought after.

It's not something that rebellion have done, why say that?  That's the way the strip is, and always has been.  Personally I trust whatever Wagners plans for the character are.  

Personally the aging Dredd is what has probably kept my interest, I don't want him to be like some crappy yank hero.

My preditction is that he won't be dead by 1500, and the sky will not fall on our heads.

Well, for me my hopes and dissapointments have just come to a head over the last few episodes.  Starting with Abzorbaloff which I quite enjoyed, but made me realise how much I disliked the Doctor and Rose, and the olympic one.

I did stop watching the original Doctor Who during the McCoy years, just as I stopped reading 2000AD during the nineties.  And I will stop watching this series when I see it's not going to change.  Which will probably be Christmas or early next series (as I think change is inevitable around this time, and I'm hoping for the better), but I am going to finish this one.

Like many people I suspect, the desire for it to be good, rather than how good it really is, is what has actually been keeping me going.  If this was Andromeda or some lame American show, it would probably have been ditched after a couple of episodes.  

Thanks for the advice though :p  I do agree with you, life is too short, if it wasn't Doctor Who and I wasn't so weak I'd go do something else.

Urgh, can't be bothered, my cathartic rant over, I will save my energy to watch last episode.

Hopefully it won't be a bunch of cut scenes of Daleks V Cybermen, not much story and about 20 minutes of crying.

"Bloody hell - why is there always so much whining fanboyness when it comes to a who thread."

Sadly, that's the coverall argument for people (including it seems RTD) who don't actually have an argument.  You see it in all sorts of discussions, including 2000AD.  And is the equivelent of singing 'tra lal la' loudly with your fingers in your ear.  It's designed to conveniantly disregard a whole lot of people's opinions, usually negative ones, without having to answer them.

Never allowed to apply to football fans for some reason, no matter how stupid or hysterical they are.  'I really thought this was the one...' 'that game wasn't very good, I'm going to cry'.

If you think it's a great Doctor Who episode, then fair enough.

Anyway, roll on Life on Mars.

Something that made me slightly homicidal/hysterical amused was RTD saying that with Doctor Who he had made it a bit Roald Dahl.

Roald Dahl was a master storyteller.  If there was one ghost they did need last night, it might have been his.

Although I know I'm going over the top with my dislike of the show, it's been bubbling since the last series.  If I don't get it out of my system, I might damage myself.

I never thought I'd say this...

'I agree with bumsex'

Actually I don't think this episode jumped the shark as such, I think more that it's had the same problems since the start, but the guy in charge thinks they are vitues instead of flaws.  He's the boss, so fair enough.

I'm going to watch the TV Movie with McGann tomorrow and see if I enjoy it more than I enjoyed tonights show.

Dalkes v Cybermen is all they can think of to end a series.  Oh dear.

The Doctor is now irretrievably in my mind, a complete cock.  Ghostbusters indeed you time travelling twat.

Don't like Rose, don't like her mum, don't care what happens to them as long as I never have to see them ever again.  Hopefully they'll fuck off to a rather crap parrallel world to Buffy, because that's where they belong.

I got a bit of a buzz out of seeing the Daleks zoom out, but then, I know that that's all I'm probably going to get out of it.

Tha Abzorbaloff was an episode I quite enjoyed, but it showed me that what I dislike about Doctor Who is at the very heart of the show.  

The Olympics episode was the point where I stopped trying to convince myself this wasn't anything but a load of crap.

Russel T Davies is an absolute nob, and every time I see Doctor Who confidential, I want to punch him.  While he sits around clapping and smarming and backslapping at the script meetings, someone should really stand up and point out it's a load of toss.  Just like Second Coming was.

This stuff is coasting on a brand image that people have a lot of good will invested in.  I stick by what I said early on in series 2, that that's going to be pretty much gone by the end of series 3. At the moment it should be moved to 5pm weekdays to it's spiritual home on CBBC.  Maybe see if Timmy Mallet is available for the next regeneration.

Anyway, got that out of my system.
