TOS: The Conscience of the King

( In which a whole generation of nerds are put off Shakespeare for life. )

After this, I watched a couple of episodes of Ashes to Ashes.  It would be a much better show without Gene Hunt, but the absence of Sam Tyler automatically makes it a winner.  And Keeley Hawes is sort of hilarious, and as soon as I've figured out how to do nice-looking text in The GIMP (or, better yet, located my copy of Photoshop), I'm going to make an Alex icon that says, 'Posh totty'.

TOS: "Balance of Terror"

( This was so awesome, I couldn't even come up with a funny cut-line! )

With Trek out of the way, I watched more Ashes to Ashes (...Gene is maybe growing on me?  Like a mould?), and half of "The Empty Child".  Verdict, five years later: the script is amazing.  Billie's accent is terrible.  But the reason I only watched half was because I'd reached TV saturation point for the night, even though Blackout left me in the mood for more time travelling-Blitz shenanigans.
