2006 recap!

[telophase]

...It was a year.

Yeah, I don't really do these year-in-review things.

Anyway, tonight I played a lot of Kingdom Hearts, realized that I'd found 84 of the puppies and might as well collect all of them, so I've now got 96 and will get the last 3 when I do Hollow Bastion again. And finished the Hundred Acre Wood mini-games, yay.

Also watched last week's episode of Torchwood, and am downloading episodes 12 & 13 to watch ... sometime later this week. (Have to write a column tomorrow and I have NO IDEAS.) Yet again, an emotional climax was had in the episode that felt like I'd missed the part of the story that made me care about the character who experienced it (the realtor - what's-his-name Lynch).

I did, however, download the special episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures, the second Doctor Who spinoff, and watched it. It was enjoyable, but not great television. Am eagerly awaiting the series, whenever it starts.

Really enjoyed Sarah Jane's snide reference to Torchwood, though. XD And the photos of the Brigadier.

I would still like to see your thoughts on manga and the hero's journey, archetypes, and all that fun stuff. I didn't recap my year either, just my books.

That was me, apparently I got logged out.

I think The Sarah Jane Adventures was aimed specifically for kids, so they probably didn't take quite so much care and attention over it than they would have for Doctor Who. I've not seen it though so I can't really say much else :)

It's aimed at the same audience the original DW was aimed at, I think - older kids and teens. And there's a lot of DW episodes that they didn't take a whole lot of care with. :D I'll probably continue watching the series, but unless they improve a whole lot, I won't be OMG slavering at the bit for it.
