DOCTOR WHO-DALEKS IN MANHATTAN/EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS

 DOCTOR WHO-DALEKS IN MANHATTAN/EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS Not sure how but this is missing so I dug up my old review from years ago. Don't make me do another one! Whenever Daleks appear in Manhattan and on the Empire State Building things  can't go well. I can't figure out why I hate this story so much but I absolutely  loathe it. This part is not as bad as part two but still. It has a good cast,  good "location work" and makes the feel of the depression and the time feel  really real. The acting is not bad and I feel everyone does a great job even if  Tallulah's accent is annoying, she s essentially likeable. Freema does a good  job and keeps Martha real and her "You can't experiment on people--it isn't  sane, it isn't human" is so heartfelt. The guests are very good with the  exception of the foreman. The music is spot on.  Even the Empire State Building  feels real. Frank is really cute and even the Doctor will let him kiss him if he  wa

DARK SHADOWS 541

  DARK SHADOWS 541 “Barnabas Collins is in greater danger than he has ever known.”   “Yes, I suppose the hand of a skeleton does offer problems, doesn’t it.”   “Cassandra has that tape. She knows about the experiment. She knows about Adam. And she knows how to destroy Barnabas and there’s no way I can stop her. No way at all.”     KLS. Cassandra hears the Lang message. (one)       Different reprise as her kicking out of David is different and he interrupts one of her lines this time. She practically shoves him up the steps.     Suddenly Blair is in the drawing room. Did he teleport? She knows she can make Barnabas what he was before.     The theme music seems to end in a clunk.   Blair hears Lang’s message. (2) “You’ve succeeded in being successful.”  Huh?     He’s interested in Adam while Cassandra contemplates killing Adam. She can’t remember the voice is Eric Lang’s. Joe saw Adam last.     Cassandra overheard Barnabas asking Carolyn about seeing Adam and she said she hadn’t. Blair h

THE AVENGERS-THE BIRD WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, FROM VENUS WITH LOVE, and THE SEE THROUGH MAN

  THE AVENGERS-THE BIRD WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, FROM VENUS WITH LOVE, and THE SEE THROUGH MAN   THE BIRD WHO KNEW TOO MUCH Watched this so long ago, I know I liked it but forgot a lot about it. Loved the mystery of it, forget the resolution, only that a parrot survives. A very offbeat episode and one of the first that reminds me why I didn’t like Emma much: she just causally steps over a body without a flinch. This happens often and even with people she’s known. Sometimes as in MURDERSVILLE, she shows some emotion and concern.   She shows concern for herself when the villain FROM VENUS WITH LOVE, amid many suspects…the show seems to have gone back to being a mystery but less real supernatural monsters and science fictional beings (aliens this time might be the culprits?) and more SCOOBY DO (unmasking the alien they …or rather Emma finds a man behind it all using a high powered noisy laser attached to a car hood!) faker human faking he’s something otherworldly.   A good episode
