andrewducker“The viewing public.”
A bunch of semi-educated, sub-literate troglodytes whose dull minds would shrivel upon contact with my leviathan of an intellect, and whose continued shallow happiness cruelly mocks my vastly superior cynicism. How I loathe them and all they stand for.
“Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. I only gave it 1/5 cos there wasn't a 0 option.”
I didn't particularly like it this week.
“Fantastic! Best of the best, I only gave it 5/5 cos there wasn't a 6 option.”
I thought it was quite good this week.
"Worst! Episode! Ever!"
Yes, I saw that episode of The Simpsons as well. And yes, I am aware that the character who said that line is supposed to be a parody of me, personally. Ironic, you say? Please explain further.
“Most fans hated that episode.”
Most fans – who expressed a preference - actually liked that episode. I just can't bothered to check the poll at the top of this page.
"You are the voice of reason. An oasis of sanity in a desert of madness. My compliments."
Thank Christ for that, someone has finally had the good sense to agree with me. I was getting really worried there for a moment. Will you marry me and have my babies?
“We should all respect each other's opinions .”
WILL EVERYBODY JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!
"Wow! I am totally speechless. That has to be, like, the greatest single bit of television drama that has ever been made!"
Wow! I am clearly *not* speechless since I was able to form a coherent sentence there. However, equally clearly, I have never seen I Claudius, The Singing Detective, Talking to a Stranger, The Year of the Sex Olympics, State of Play, Our Friends in the North (despite Eccleston and Daniel Craig being in it), Blue Remembered Hills, Scum, Ready When You Are Mr McGill, House of Cards, Edge of Darkness, Auf Wiedersehen Pet or, even the 1980 Christmas episode of Shoestring. I have, on the other hand, seen 'The Aztecs'. But that was in black and white and was just four episodes of people talking in cod-Shakespeare accents. Nevertheless, despite this I am still sticking to my laughably sweeping statement that an episode of 'Doctor Who' surpasses every single bit of television ever made by anyone ever.
“Do you plan to boycott Season Four?”
217 days before the transmission of a television series, would you care to discuss - at perfectly enormous length - the pros and cons of whether you intend to watch it or not. Even though we both know it's more likely that pigs will fly than you'll miss a single second once it's on.
“RTD s DESTROYING the show with his GAY AGENDA and FORCED HUMOUR.”
I keep dreaming about bare-chested sailors rubbing baby oil on themselves and I'm really quite worried about it. Because I’m straight, do you hear? Straight! Completely straight!
Over here you can find translations that, while at least partially Dr-Who based, apply to pretty much every online forum I've ever been on. I have been giggling for about 20 minutes as I worked my way through them...

Date: 2007-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)I would just like to save something for the shw and they do seem to have gone overboard.
That said, I was on holiday, so I missed all those forums and hit my spoilers from livejournal.

Date: 2007-07-10 04:38 pm (UTC)I once got confused between the show "I Claudius" and "Up Pompeii".
I was deeply disappointed, and spent the first 5 minutes wondering when Frankie Howard was going to show up...
