This Year In Hell

So, once more we find ourselves at the end of yet another. Honestly, where do these things keep coming from? We should probably get someone in to look at that, the damn things seem to breed like cockroaches. Just when you think you finally gotten rid of one, another one shows up. Thus making years the opposite of buses. But I digress.

Every year I try and do a little write up of stuff that I thought was good. Not in any strict top 10 whatever kind of sense, but just as an exercise in forcing myself to remember that maybe not EVERYTHING is horrible. As time goes on this seems to get more difficult. I'm not going to lie, this has been a rough year, and my ability to look on the bright side has been atrophied to the point of extinction. But that's enough about the last series of Doctor Who. We're trying to be positive here. So let's begin shall we.

War And Piss

One of my abiding impressions coming out of The Force Awakens was just how incredibly LONG it felt. I don't mean that in a bad way. The runtime is, I think, about 2 and half hours. That's not short, but hardly excessively bloated. And it certain;y doesn't drag at any point. But whilst it certainly packs an awful lot in, the main issue was simply that about half way through I REALLY needed a pee.

I didn't have one. I wasn't going to risk missing a thing. And as the man once said:

So, scatological internet humour aside, how was it? Pretty good. Overall I'd say it's quite possibly the most Star Warsy thing I've seen since... Well, Star Wars.

I'd say that's probably a good sign.

Out Of Shape

You know, I was really looking forward to seeing Hell Bent. Sure, this had been a fairly weak series of Doctor Who thus far. But they'd finally gotten rid of Clara and it really looked like we finally going to start doing something interesting.

It's not the first time I've been wrong about something.

Without hyperbole or exaggeration, my honest reaction as the credits rolled was, LITERALLY this:
