This has got nowt to do with your question Gonz, so apologies for that
As we all obviously know, the new series of Doctor Who kicks off tomorrow night, featuring a new race of villains called The Silence who are so obviously an alien version of The Gentlemen from series 4 of Buffy that it's positively insulting, although I daresay there's still some lingering resentment about Star Trek's Borg being basically a higher-budget version of the Cybermen.

I know, sexy. Anyway, apparently one of the four leads dies. ACTUALLY dies. Who's your money on, B3ta?

That bird that hinted she was married to the Doctor.

But Bella reckons Amy Pond, because if she survives this run then next year will be three consecutive series with the same Doctor and companion. Good point, that.

I find it amusing that a number of people on here have decided she's persona non grata, but I agree with a lot of her arguments. I just know that B3ta is not the place to bother having a lot of them.

Swipeys's personal attacks against her based on her "alternative" appearance would appear to be simply spiteful bitching.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 21 Apr 2011, 15:22, Reply)

hang on
it's nothing to do with her appearance.

and everything to do with her emo whining that she couldn't get a job in law because she is working class. which is total and utter bullshit. you'll get a job in law if you have good grades AND you interview well. that's it. blaming anything else is feeble and self-indulgent and requires a bit of a shake-up.

but mostly it's because she rises to it so fantastically, when everyone else just says "bugger off".

i just remember calling her a "shouty little barmaid" or something.

but tbh if she didn't take out the piercings and the dye before going for an interview in the most conservative grey dullard profession in the country, what did she expect?
