Well I'm going to start with my usual apology. Like Steamy, everything's been extremely hectic recently, and that's why I've not read and commented on very many blogs. I've also made very few comments on the forums - in fact, I'm yet to post on the final three Doctor Who episodes. Since I've come back from Iceland I've barely been on the internet. So I'm sorry about that, especially to you France, who I've been meaning to PM back for about a year! I'll do it soon...I promise!

It's still going to be a bit hectic over the next few weeks, but it's a good kind of hectic, going out with friends, etc. - the kind of hectic I like about the summer holidays. I've got today off, so to speak, but I'm going back out tomorrow, so I thought now would be a good time to blog. I'll try to make more time for you guys in the future, though.

So where do I start? TV, I suppose. Both Lin and QB know how much I like TV blogs on TV.com...

I guess I could talk about Doctor Who. Spoilers for those who haven't seen the finale yet. Okay, so let me be honest. I'm not particularly pleased with this series. It's got a sort-of "been there, done that" feel about it, and the end of the world stories aren't as thrilling as they used to be. Having said that, all my favourite stories from the series were by Russell T. Davies - which is certainly a first. His episodes, particularly Midnight and Turn Left, tried something new, something very different, and in both mentioned cases, it worked.

Of course, I'm sure all people can agree that The Stolen Earth was excellent (particularly for a nostalgic fan like myself), but Journey's End was very, very disappointing. I suppose it was all the build-up (but that's happened for previous years, and they haven't been as disappointing as last week's episode). I was annoyed with the character departures - they were handled very insensitively (excluding Donna's). I found Rose's goodbye...well, I can't really describe it. After it's acknowledged that the Doctor loved Rose, I can't believe she let him go, just because she could stay with a "clone" of him. Surely it wasn't just him - it was the travelling through time and space that made her want to stay with him forever?

I'm not as excited about Doctor Who as I once was, but I'm not going to stop watching it. I think it might be better, having less episodes next year. That way it will be something to look forward to over the year.

As for other TV, I've missed quite a lot of stuff, being busy. I've got to catch up on Brothers & Sisters before the finale on Sunday (I think it's the finale), plus I've kind of stopped watching Big Brother regularly, which is a first for me. I did manage to see Summer Heights High the other night, and it just gets better and better. I know very few people here have seen it, so I think this clip does it justice:

Ja'mie from Summer Heights High. Is that...is that a bloke...?

Um, I think that's probably it, again. Not much else to talk about - I'm sure you don't want to know too much about Iceland. If you want to see pictures or me to answer questions, just say. Oh, and again, I'll be away next week, but I'll try to keep up-to-date with the blogs and threads when I get back.

My BIG question for this blog is which series of Doctor Who is your favourite? You can either rank it, first to fourth, or just tell me which one you like the most. For me, my favourite is still Series One. I couldn't rank the others yet, though.
