"I don't want to go."

Yep day later and I’m still sad and all woe at David Tennant no longer being the Doctor, though he’ll always be my Doctor ;) It was a fun send off even if some plot holes still have me scratching my head. And:-

Master: I don't know what I'd be without that noise
Doctor: Wonder what I'd be without you.

God I love the slash Bromance XD The Master at the end realizing the Time Lords returning meant nothing good for him was a great bit. Especially after the Doctor explained all the evils that were to come along with the Time Lords coming. So well we have Matt Smith as the Dr now so lets see how he does ;)

Plus! Why do the US TV stations always feel the need to remake British TV? Just heard that their doing a US remake of Being Human and I’m wondering ‘why?’ Yes it’s fabulous and great but it’s not like the UK is that far away from the US in cultural understanding and language that it would be a problem to just use the original instead. I can never see the point really, okay the Office remake was good but then they went on to remake Life on Mars, Coupling, One Foot in the Grave ect Which erm least said about them the better.

You never see us going ‘You know Supernatural would be so much better set in Huddersfield’ It’s not like US audiences won’t watch a UK show, the popularity of Harry Potter has proved that accents don’t get in the way. It seems such a waste to me when they're are so many original scripts waiting to be picked up on both sides of the pond.

True, some US remakes can be great like Remus which was a remake of the UK's Cracker and of course I love the Office. US shows are much prettier than ours but sometimes something goes missing in the re-writes. Doctor Who is well known for being a bit dodgy in the effects department but that's it charm, it's the characters and stories that shine ;)A lot of US folks love it too so it shows things don't need to be remade just because they don't look like a diamond.

In the books they do use a lot of UK slang but it was changed in the US novels and yeah the films don't use it quite as much. I've seen people have a hard time understanding some of our stronger accents so I do understand what a pain in the arse it would be to stop and wonder what's being said.
