at least tomorrow's friday
1. I am officially out of audios again. I totally forgot until this morning. sigh.
2. My thoughts on the audios are generally not very deep. (OMG Ace and Seven get engaged! HAHAHAH Parasitic telepathic plants! ...etc.)
3. I am so tired of Daleks it's not even funny (I was tired of C'rizz, too). But Cybermen are... not as tiresome? I don't know how that works. Also, Garazone needs to pop up more often, I like the audio background of the marketplace there.
4. Nero Wolfe is now loaded onto Bridget. Perhaps he'll keep me entertained (I have been alternating Nero and Who audios, which is not as whiplash-inducing as one would think, although NW has a higher standard of dialogue)
5. IPS last night. I don't know what my thoughts are, other than the obvious 'that was cruel, show' (also, hot) and a bit of 'people can, too, change'. (note: comments contain spoilers, now)
6. I need to find the tape thingie so I can mp3 it on my way to and from work. I am so tired of cassette tapes. Even if I have Flood out there now (also, omg, 1990, wtf)

If not, well, she did, and kept eyeing Raph and his date. Then afterwards, she texted him and he came over
Mary: I... *says something uncertain*
Raph: I saw you in the restaurant.
Mary: ...*facepalm*
Raph: It's ok.
Mary: I'm barefoot.
Raph: *notices*
Mary: *awkward goodbye* Oh, and lemme kiss you real quick. *does so*
*both stand there, staring*
*cue desperate, hot makeout session leading into stripping and seeexx*
ahem. Seriously. THAT WAS CRUEL, SHOW. And really hot. Ahem. And then Mary got up and left him behind without waking him.
Then, of course, weird dude texts Mary and Marshall that he's marrying whatserface and M & M discover whatserface is back with her old boyfriend and then tell the dude. And then he blows up her store, but Mary gets her out in time.
Cue the subplot, where the officious (black, female) accountant informs M & M that it is not their job to go after Mr. Killer, and to turn it over to the division that does that sort of thing. Then, of course, Stan smacks her down (as was obvious from the get-go).
You know how the rest goes: he's caught. And then Mary and Raph decide they can't ever do that again. Ever. And he goes.
AND THE MORAL: People can't ever change, so don't bother trying.

AND THE MORAL: People can't ever change, so don't bother trying.
Didn't we spend two years with the opposite moral? I'm confused. I thought the point was that given the chance people do change.
And then Mary and Raph decide they can't ever do that again. Ever. And he goes.
Isn't this how their relationship started? Running into each other and having really fantastic sex? That's a bit depressing to see them go back to.

Of course, you're probably talking actual storytelling. I can't remember anything specific with Daleks off the top of my head, although I know I've heard some, but Spare Parts kicks ass. (I don't think I'm just saying it because I'm all NYSSA FTW, but it's possible.)
So maybe the Cybermen just get better stories from the BF writing team? I think maybe they lend themselves to more interesting ones.
IPS is waiting for me (the lure of the RSC in shiny HD was too much), and now I have trepidation. O_o

I found Spare Parts depressing and managed only about half before skipping (that's the other problem with the Dalek ones: massive body count). But Nyssa was awesome.
Perhaps it's also that I find the concept of the Cybermen slightly scarier? I don't know.
The episode wasn't awful! It's just... It's a new writing team/direction, and it's... different. (also, the comment above yours now contains spoilers)

Nyssa being awesome is the main thing I remember. (Funny, that.) Also, I am mostly okay with depressing once in a while, and I think I heard it in amongst a spate of lighter ones, so it worked out. Also, it was solidly-crafted depressing, as opposed to "this is depressing because we think it makes us Edgy and Deep," which always makes me sort of weirdly happy alongside the depressed. But I am a strange creature.
I definitely find the concept of the Cybermen scarier. I think it's because the general population chose to do it to themselves, and it sort of crept up on them. As opposed to Annoying Batshit Evol Jeenyus getting the gummint to impose it on the populace in order to "win" the Endless Pointless War.
Averting eyes from spoiler, TYVM for warning!

I did enjoy them in "Dalek," mind you. And even Nine's finale. But not since then. And the Cybermen stories aren't that bad.

Also what Star Trek did right with the Borg until they assimilated Picard and all of a sudden he was ~different~ then the rest of the Borg.
