“I went for my walkies early today, met three people from my social calendar, and so now I’m having an extra snooze. You okay with that?” — Summer.

“How stoopid are some hoomons? I tell my hoomon that us doggies are better runners than hoomons because we have tails, which help us steer and maintain balance. Or, more simply, we’re better runners because of our tails. We’re ‘tail runners’. So what does the stoopid hoomon do? He volunteers […]
The World According to Summer
Doctor Who, season 2 continued … I haven’t had time to post recently, so here’s a summary of the remaining episodes of The Romans. Taking the story as a whole, it’s a bit of a mixed bag that doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. A whole story […]

“I’ve made my bed, now I’m off for a kip. Good night…” — Summer.

51. Desperate Measures
Doctor Who, season 2 continued … A much lower-key adventure than the previous Dalek story, with just two other cast members, primarily designed to introduce Susan’s replacement. The mask of Koquillion is particularly effective. The effects crew have got better with their miniatures and the split-screen effect of looking out […]
50. The Powerful Enemy
“I knew these hoomons were good for something other than just playtime, walkies, food, treats, and picking up things I leave behind. They make good mattresses and pillows, too. Don’t know why my hoomon wants to lose more weight – he just wants to deny me my cushion. No one […]
