Buffy - Enemies/Earshot. Brilliant stuff. What impresses so much about Buffy after all these years is not just how brilliant it is, but how effortlessly it makes being brilliant seem.

Doctor Who - Delta and the Bannermen. Not great. On the plus side, the 50s setting is nice, Sara Griffiths is hot, and Don Henderson is giving such a serious and malevolent performance as Gavrok that he seems to be in a different story altogether. On the downside, it's all a bit lame, though!

And Anna Paquin is HAWT.
She's a cutie but I bailed after the first 1.5 episodes.
.
4 episodes in and I'm beginning to see your point.

Saw The Deadly Assassin last night. Ah, now that's more like it! Classic Tom Baker. Great script, great performances (Peter Pratt is an excellently malevolent Master, and the makeup for his decayed face and hands has to be one of the grossest sights ever in Who). Looks fabulous on dvd too (especially the location stuff for the Matrix nightmare).
Splendid stuff.

What a wuss.
Haha, those early seasons were so great. The later seasons had their moments but S1-3 was really the heart of the show for me, that's what kept me watching through the bad stretches.
Did you ever see the unreleased pilot that was floating around on youtube and the like a while ago? The special effects are terrible and there's a different Willow.

What, I'm the only one who knows how to use google?

It's really bad quality, be warned. Oh, but they play an old Rancid song so that's kind of cool.

I'm a busy man!;) Thanks for the link, I'll check it out later today.
Spent last night watching the extra features on the dvd of the Doctor Who story The War Games, all three hours of them! What an incredible package. Best was the straightforward 'making of', though the 'Sock Puppets' spoof of the trial was pretty damn funny too! The picture quality on the actual episodes looks absolutely astonishing, too. There are big-budget movies that don't get the kind of care and attention lavished on them that many of the Who releases do, and The War Games has a boxset's worth of extras on the one story (though it is rather a large story, admitted!)
An excellent release for a much loved story.

Buffy - Graduation Day Pts 1 and 2 (season 3 final). Fantastic stuff. I find it hard to grasp this season is now a decade ago. I feel old. 
Simply fantastic television. The Mayor was such a fabulous villain too, played so well by Harry Groener. His "aw shucks" wholesome persona contrasted with his devilish plans just make him so much fun. He doesn't mind sacrificing new born babies to demons.... but he just can't abide swearing.

Watched Phoebe In Wonderland for the second time last night.
What a brilliant, sad, but ulimately uplifting film. As a parent of a child born with a genetic abnormality my heart just ached for Phoebe and her whole family. Been there, done that, scary as hell.
The performance of Elle Fanning as Phoebe is one of the best you will ever see from a young child.
