The Countess wants to watch the nuWho, but I got the time wrong (not intentionally) so we will be catching the repeat on Wednesday. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pbristow predicts that I will hate it with a fiery passion; I do hope not. From what I've read it sounds like more of the same stuff we've had since 2003, so hopefully it will leave me just as cold as I am now.
In the meantime, we finished the run of Lexx, which made a good end all things considered, and watched Zatoichi which had some nice music at the end.
Did you see what I did there? I can't remember who taught me, if indeed anyone did, that it's incredibly stylistically inept to have the same word* two or more times in a sentence unless you're creating a deliberate effect with it. Whoever it was, they obviously didn't teach Peter Anghelides, because he does it over and over again in his Torchwood books, and it jars, my friends, I'm here to tell you it jars.
And so to bed.
*Significant word, obviously. "The" and "and" and so on don't count.
