Series Four Schedule (updated version)

Good evening. I have just finished watching the latest episode, so I guess it's time for a review;
4.3 PLANET OF THE OOD.
*****
RUNNING TIME: 45 mins. STARS: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Tim McInnery

IN A NUTSHELL:
Not as good as last week, but an excellent episode. I enjoyed it a lot and thought that it provided what was missing from episodes 2.8 and 2.9. The Ood were shown in a different, but appropriate way and we got to see the sort of Prologue, the missing chapter to The Impossible Planet.

MY HUMBLE OPINION:
Well, that episode had a rather high budget, didn't it now? It was creative, to say the least, and, as I say, provided a missing chapter that I wasn't expecting. I thought it's only connection to 2.8 and 2.9 would be the Ood and a few necessary fleeting references (because in the BBC's view it's light Saturday telly that doesn't need to be complicated) but it was a whole missing part of the earlier story. It was set at the same time, for a start. Everything that we wanted to know about the Ood in that story, we found out here. The Doctor solved everything that we wanted solved. It was all very very good. Rabid Ood- now that is groovy. I thought Tim McInnery was good as the baddie. Initially, I anticipated him to be rather hammy, seeing him in Blackadder an' all, but he was good. He was good. Losing his hair eh...
Catherine Tate once again proved that she can act beautifully seriously in the singing scene. And speaking of singing, what was the Ood's "your song will end" comment about?! Surely he won't regenerate at the close of this season. They said he won't. But then again, they say a lot of things.


Right, OK, ages ago, I gave a rough Series Four Schedule, but even if you've seen it before, this is a full, specific Episode Guide:


4.x Voyage of the Damned (already broadcast)

4.1 Partners in Crime (already broadcast)
4.2 The Fires of Pompeii (already broadcast)
4.3 Planet of the Ood (already broadcast)

4.4 The Sontaran Stratagem
4.5 The Poison Sky-----Martha returns in this two parter next week, along with the good ol' potato-head Sontarans.

4.6 The Doctor's Daughter-----I am scared of this episode in a big way. A revelation like this could totally wreck the whole show. Literally. I am so dreading it. You'd better do it well, Russ- or else.

4.7 The Unicorn and the Wasp-----Agatha Christie pops up in this episode.

4.8 Silence in the Library
4.9 Forest of the Dead-----Two parter number two.

4.10 Midnight-----The Doctor and Donna visit a planet called Midnight this episode.

4.11 Turn Left-----Rose pops up here again, and this episode leads into the next two.

4.12 TBC
4.13 Journey's End-----The title for 4.12 is unknown and is for some reason being held a secret by the BBC. I think this may be something to do with 4.6. Rose is in these two.

Sarah-Jane and CJH are also confirmed to be appearing this series. What a whopper of a series it will be. Good lord. That's all folks.

It's back and it appears to be bigger and better than ever!

Good Afternoon- I've got lots to tell you,
lots about LOST and about Doctor Who,
I've added a theory on Claire versus Kate,
And on Saturday the Doctor's back with Catherine Tate!

An evening this week I was lying about,
and saw a new Doctor Who trailer is out,
She says "creatures of metal and creatures of fire",
My lord! Have you seen the Sontarans' attire?

They're fitted with helmets and costumes of doom,
Much similar to Series Three's Judoon,
The Daleks are back and they're at their best,
But to be honest I was hoping they'd give them a rest!

The Ood appear in the trailer as well,
We've not seen them since those pits of hell,
Theoretically they won't be evil this time,
No electrocution or evil red eyes!

But you never know what T. Davies'll do,
'cause after all it is Doctor Who!
Surely they won't leave them as the good guys,
They'll introduce someone bigger in size.

But coming over the return of the bomb,
I've been posting on Lost hyphen theories dot com,
I wrote my own theory on how Kate got the baby,
And how she battled Claire and even killed her maybe.

If you're interested or if there's something you think,
Feel free to click this link- http://www.lost-theories.com/theories/2008/mar/28/evil-claire-v-hero-kate/
Comment please- comment and vote,
Feel free to jab and to poke!

I'm well excited about next week,
in fact I am sat on the edge of my seat,
But in conclusion to this poetic post,
I'd just like to say "That's all, folks!"

Oceanic Seven, Doctor Whom and Doctor Who S4!

Good afternoon,
Today, as you can see from the post title, I plan to blog on three issues. My first point concerns a LOST theory. Wideawakejake1, infact, thought up this fantastic teory, an if it were a post on LOST-theories.com, I guess it would be entitled "Oceanic Seven". This is what it states;
In The Beginning of an End", Hurley yells "I'M ONE OF THE OCEANIC SIX!" at the Police Force. This leads one to assume that six people get off the island, and three of which are Hurley, Jack and Kate. But I would like you to take a second of your time to re-consider the latter. Kate Austen was a fugitive before the crash, nd was even on the plane with a marshall. So, looking at the flashbacks seen in seasons 1, 2 and 3, would you go shouting "I'm home! I'm home!" when you go back?No. You would not. Surely this is a great oppurtunity for Kate to hide away, adopt a new identity (we'll come back to new identities later) and live a normal life. In conclusion, if it's in the press that six came back, then maybe seven did, including Kate.
Then the point comes back round to "Well then, who are the Oceanic Six?". Most internet theories on this seem to be based mainly on speculation, however one cannot help pondering over who it's likely to be. Jin, Sun and Sayid seem to be popping up in various places, and also the quesion of whether Juliette and Ben could be included. A simple answer to this question is "NO. Even if they're back, they weren't on the plane, so they're not Oceanic."
However, this is where it comes back round to new identities. What if Juliette and Ben said they were on the plane and came up with identities of the dead? Are Dharma that powerful?
Anyway, enough LOST theorying for one day. Now we come to my second point- the parodic novel by A. R. R. R Roberts that has had some copies sold galaxywide-it's name is Doctor Whom. It has to be the funniest thing I have read since I finished the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy around a year ago. It has an awfully confusing, yet ultimately meaningful non-linear narrative and a narrator obsessed with grammar to the point when it drives you insane. Nonetheless, it is an amazing piece of literature and I would recommend it to anyone who calls themselves a Doctor Who fan. And on the subject of Who......

Recently, I went to see the cheesy P.S I Love You starring Friends' Lisa Kudrow. It's plot made no sense, to be ruthlessly frank, but this is not what I am here to say. Before I determined the movie's cheesy nature there's the long and dawnting task of watching the trailers. One of them, I have to say, was amazing. It was the trailer to Doctor Who series four. From what I saw, the fourth season will be a mind-blowing, quirky, monster of a season with a larger-than-large budget. This time, it's on a much larger scale. Bernard Cribbins will reappear as Donna's grandfather and Donna seems to be confronted by a giant CG bumblebee in one shot. Martha and Rose also turn up towards the end- Rose looking shocked and Martha looking strangely evil!
Finally, this is where my post has to end I'm afraid, but I can promise you more geektastic fun in due time.

Exciting news from the LSP lord.

Good afternoon,
A lot has happened in current affairs and, I hasten to add, also in cult fiction since I last blogged. The saddening death of the Australian Heath Ledger has shocked us all. The poor chap was only just making his break- scheduled to play villain, the Joker in the Summer's "The Dark Knight", starring Christian Bale as the wonderful caped crusader. My blog, however, is not here as a news service, so for more info, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and you should find the link to it's news page.
Secondly, a fortnight ago, I blogged concerning new film releases, one of which was The Dark Knight in fact. It may help some readers to re-cap at this point;

The last thing is the as yet untitled "Bond 22" starring Daniel Craig. Details are rumoured so I cannot give you any more information.

However, I can now confirm the title of "Bond 22". It's title is "The Quantum of Solace". The announcement has proved controversial amongst the media and I happen to know that there's been a hell of a lot of chat of it in Christian O' Connel's breakfast show on Virgin Radio. The name is taken from one of Flemming's short stories, but it is highly unlikely that the plot will bear any resemblance and this has been an occurrence in previous Bond movies.
The title of the next episode of Doctor Who has also been announced by the BBC to be "Partners in Crime", most likely referring to the Doctor's relationship with new companion, Donna Noble, in the episode. Other aspects of the series include Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, novelist Agatha Christie, Ood, Sontarans and Pompeii. For more information, visit the Doctor Who Series Four schedule.
Finally, after analysing and commenting on current and cult affairs, I have created some of my own. Here it is- LSP now has it's own admin e-mail address at lspcentral@gmail.com. A newsletter from this address is planned and if you wish to register for that please e-mail me. I am also planning Maybe a new LSP core page with help functions.
But for now, goodnight. We're all looking forward to LOST now aren't we?

Series four schedule.

Dear Elizabeth,
Thankyou for posting with LSP and blogger. I'm delighted that you're taking interest in my blog. Blogging is rich in fun and I, as your close acquaintance, would highly recommend starting a blog of your own through blogger.com. I would be quite happy to kit my blog up with links to yours and we could have a sort of blogging partnership. I would also agree to give links to your blog on my piczo homepage, LSPonline.
Thankyou for leaving a comment,
LSP lord.

Good Afternoon. I hope you enjoyed my review of 4.X and would like to provide you with more whovianism. If you are a legitimate fan of the programme, you have most probably heard the companion/monster schedule of series four. But in case you've forgotten, here it is.

DONNA NOBLE:
The first companion of the series shall be the ignorant, reality TV- loving Donna Noble, played by comedian Catherine Tate. In my last post, I made some slating comments about the character, claiming that she belonged in one of Tate's sketches. However, she's worth a chance. We could be in for a surprise with her. Looking back to 2005, who thought casting Billie Piper was a good idea? Her late 80s "teeny-bop" career didn't put Piper in a great light, bu in my view, Rose has to be one of the best companions in the show's history. She was the first companion to have a character of her own, rather than just being the Doctor's chick in a short skirt!

THE OOD:
I 2006, 2.8 and 2.9 saw the Doctor and Rose visit a spaceship orbiting a black hole, on which were humble servants known as the Ood. They weren't the "bad guy" of the story as such as they were possessed by a being called the Beast. In episode 4.4, the Doctor will meet the Ood again, this time on their home planet. The real question is "will they work as good guys?"

MARTHA JONES:
After appearing o spin-off, Torchwood for a total of three episodes, former companion, Martha will return to Doctor Who in an episode featuring the egg-head Sontarans. And there is one final addition to Series Four...

ROSE TYLER:
Three episodes appears to be a trend in the whoniverse as this will be Piper's tenor. In m opinion, Rose deserves a death scene. Russell needs to forget her and move on this time.

So, what other monsters or companions do the fans want back? Davros is the clear leader, followed by UNIT and the Sea Devils. However, is there a further choice that you want? Pleas leave a comment.
