I agree Granny!

That was a really nice touch for the 10th Doctor's final minutes and as you say, totally unexpected. As you know, we all expected Rose to crop up somewhere along the line but this little scene was a real gem and if I hadn't watched it so many times since New Year's Day, I'd dig it out and rewatch it myself!!!!!
Hello, davey.

Actually, it was cathrin who said it was unexpected, I was just agreeing with her So we have a nice agreeable moment, unlike some threads I could name

Speaking of which, you're not related to that JohnBoy Walton poster are you? I only ask because it's uncanny how much I agree with him! The only other person I agree with so much is you

No, he isn't!!! How dare people use 'boy' in their usernames without my permission!!!!! I shall put copyright on it straight away!!!!!

It's nice to have agreeable moments and yes, I would watch TEOT again. But not for a while!!!!!!

I'm sure you're nothing like John Boy, though you are both very nice people, with excellent taste. (I know this because I agree with you both on many things)

I just wanted to echo the positive comments about this very interesting and pleasant thread! I've really enjoyed reading the posts, and have come away with a lot of food for thought.

Thanks for a great read. Bedtime now though, so it's "goodnight Jim-Bob" from me.

Really? I thought that relationship was absolutely believable! I think that's mainly why I liked it so much.
I know that many agree with you. I don't know indeed if I'd say it wasn't believable; just that it didn't really interest me.

Have you watched Last of the Timelords, Voyage of the Damned, End of Time and The Big Bang? All rubbish (although at least The Big Bang was entertaining rubbish) and far worse than Love and Monsters.
Yes, I've watched all those. I'll concede that Last of the Time Lords is pretty much rubbish, but I liked the other three.

Yeah, a bit!!

No, nostalgia is great, but as for recording things for posterity, video will age and degenerate much quicker. I can't think of a reason why video might be considered better, but 4 reasons for digital spring readilly to mind:
1)Better quality
2)Smaller and easier to store
3)Better longevity
4)Easier cueing of the required show / scene etc.

Anyway, this debate is probably a little off the track of this thread, apologies for dragging it here!!
I agree with these and overall think that DVDs are far better than video, but I can think of advantages of videos - when you put a tape back in, the programme is in the same place as when you took it out and you don't have to wait ages for the menu to load!

I thought so too; it was a perfect example of "Less is more". Her silent moment of devastation was a million times more effective than her jealous bitching in the previous episode when she felt threatened by SJ. In School Reunion I found her reaction to a "rival" annoying, but in TGITF I really felt for her.
I loved the "Are you alright" / "I'm always alright" exchange.

Yes, that was so touching. And used again in Forest of the Dead.
