Blog miscellany

I've heard from a number of people that they've had trouble posting comments, so I've changed the comment setting from the default to allow posts without signing in (Google account, Blogger account, OpenID, etc.). Hopefully this won't generate a lot of spam posts. Also, I'm going to be out of town for the next couple of days, but I have a couple of blog posts queued up so that I can just hit publish when I have an Internet connection. :)

I have completed watching all the William Hartnell episodes and will be posting comments on the following stories over the next couple of days:

26. The Savages (Friday)
28. The Smugglers (Saturday)
29. The Tenth Planet (Sunday)

After that, I plan to take a break from the serials before starting the Troughton episodes and watch the feature films starring Peter Cushing as an alternate First Doctor (who is actually named "Dr. Who") in re-imaginings of the first two Dalek serials:

• Dr. Who and the Daleks (released between seasons 2 and 3 and is a retelling of the serial The Daleks)
• Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (released between seasons 3 and 4 and is a retelling of the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

I started watching the first one a couple of years ago, but got interrupted and never finished it. I will probably also watch the documentary Dalekmania and add my comments as part of the second film.

Hopefully you are enjoying reading my meanderings as much as I'm enjoying watching the serials and posting these comments. Leave me some comments to let me know you're out there. :)
