"A soap-opera with laser-gun fights"; the best description of the consistently disappointing new version of Doctor Who that I've seen.

Yes, but you hate everything newer than 1978, so why should anybody be surprised? I've never seen a more grumpy blog.
I don't get how you're a Brit, moved to the US, but get upset every time the UK "disses" the royal family? Go back to the UK, or adopt the American way: no civilized country should have such a thing as a 'royal family.'
And getting upset over Cricket players changing the material their uniforms are made of? Seriously? I would have a lot of trouble coming up with a more trivial thing to complain about.
Dude, same thing can be said about you. If you dislike this blog so much, there's a simple solution.
He has the right; he's a British man, over thirty. He has metamorphosed into what I like to call blighteyus hellinahandcartius.
Dave manages to be awesome and a bit of a grumpy bastard at the same time; that's his appeal.
(There you go, Dave, another tagline for your website!)
As the other posters have said in essence "If you don't like it don't read it" Dave is a light in an otherwise troubled world ! Micen90
Keep it up Dave. Your site is a breath of fresh air in an ever more sterile, silly and fan obsessive internet.
Yes. Anyway, those Sontarans weren't too bad; the main problem was with the storyline, rather than the characterisation. If they had cut out the "people trapped in cars with breakable windows" bit, well, most of the episode, and had replaced it with a plot for invasion (possibly countered by an invasion of the Rutan Host), then maybe it would have been better.
The sontarans themselves did not at any point in the ep turn into what I call "Emo-Sontarans", like all the other races so far. Staal had some pretty good lines, himself.
(In fact, all of the good bits involved the sontarans. The rest was very meh)
Luckily, the second episode seems to consist of mainly the Sontarans invading and, yes, shooting people with lasers. But as long as the writers (I'm looking at you, Russell T Davies) don't screw it up, it could be alright. Just stick to the principles: Sontarants shoot humans, humans die, doctor finds an ingenious solution (that doesn't involve the sonic screwdriver). There.
Anyway, what were we talking about?...
