get ready to fall over in shock. Serv watched an episode of Dr Who.
Vampires In Venice. It Sucked. Just like i have always thought, still sucks. Dr Who can go back in time to ANY time and place and find earth has been invaded by aliens. WTF. I watched my episode this decade (got it out of the way early) so i have 9.5 years of Dr Who free bliss, Hooray! Oh, and the new doctor resembles Shag...if he were younger. And had a full head of hair. On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 11:26 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Good idea to discuss. Overall I'm enjoying this season.
