As mentioned earlier, SciFi geekery trumped politics, and I didn't watch the debate - so here's some links to comments from people who did:

DPF also comments briefly here.
Update: Also Just Left and Blogging it Real. You can also vote for who you think won on Andrew Falloon.
I think that you were better off with Dr. Who. It was nice to hear "Ex Termi Nate" again.
ReplyDeleteThe debate was the usual fluffing about with some slight interest in the worm. It does seem that the way to get a good worm result is to talk about nice things.

What a choice, ghastly mutants with no emotions, or Dr Who on the other channel!
ReplyDeleteHeh the how to do a good worm presentation on Keepleft is priceless

You are going to tell us what you thought of "Dalek", aren't you?
ReplyDeleteActually I was working on what I thought of the Dunne decision. As for Dalek, I liked it, particularly the moral tension between the Dalek and the new Doctor. He's changed a lot - in Genesis of the Daleks he turned down an opportunity to wipe out the Daleks because it would make him like them; now, as the Dalek said, he would make a good Dalek. Obviously, the war (will they tell us more about that?) changed him; I'm now wondering if he'll get better.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't bring myself to watch the "leaders' debate" last night. I decided to watch Dr Who instead. Now I've never been a big fan of this occasionally irritating and frequently wobbly series. But I decided to give it a go, what with it being a sort of a cult thing and I hate to be feeling left out of the subcultural loop - even if some of it is more loopy than is good for my soul.
ReplyDeleteBut was I impressed with the Dalek episode? In summary, the Doctor picked up the fagboy from Corrie Street and killed off the last ACT Party voter "I want my FREEEEEEDOOOOOMMMMM" Dalek. Not world shattering and mildly more interesting than NZ politicians spouting soundbites.
And my rather lengthy contribution is here
