Just finished Black Hunger and I think that one was definitely a low, it was just kind of boring in my opinion.
Watched K9 ⢠Episode 1 Regeneration.
Reminded me of tv-shows aimed at teenagers from my youth (that would be the late 80s/early 90s). With this nostalgia factor in place, I thought to myself, āimpressive visuals for such an old show.ā Just to learn itās from around 2010ā¦
Still, so far it is like one of those kinda hollow shows I remember.
2 boys, 1 girl; girl fancies one of them - the idiot - the other - more reasonable one - fancies her but also is maybe not the best person; the professor with the tragic background thatās hinted at⦠stereotypes and clichĆ©s.
And so far, I like it.
Currently, work is a little bit much and I am quite braindead in the evening. With the added sugarcoating of nostalgia for this kind of show, itās exactly what I need to wind down in the evening.
Okay, why does a show this short have an episode that is basically just clips of old episodes cut together? Why is that even needed?
Cost-saving episode paired with a want to remind viewers that the Korven featured in one episode about 4 months prior is what I reckon
Itās not good by any standard, but there are far worse episodes in this show in my eyes
So, my wisdom teeth are out and I have started watching K9!
Ep1 Regeneration: yeah, this is bad. I know everyone said it was, but I tend to find things I like in most stories. Not here though. Itās not totally boring, things do happen. I think the main problem is that itās mediocre in all aspects rather than totally bad in some and kinda good in others.
Oh, I forgot I promised myself last week to start watching this show this week. Well, I havenāt started yet!
I will.
Probably.
At some point.
Maybe.
Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it,
DO IT!

Are you even a real Doctor Who fan if you do not have the K9 Badge?
Unconvincing future London; agaraphobic Professor with tragic backstory, ill-advised love triangle between three teenagers; corny one liners from robot dogā¦
and a K9 badge
And all freeeee todaaaayyyyyā¦
You know, itād be fun if at some point on Doctor Who, the Doctor ended up in future London, and the CCPC were patrolling the streetsā¦
And we can maybe find out who sat in the front of the Department busā¦
This is so devastatingly making me want to watch this show again⦠itās like a weird addiction one of these days I really will write a K9 fanfiction, thatāll show everyone! (show them what? you ask. probably that Iāve really gone and lost it
)
Which, naturally, has me picturing a K9/My Little Pony crossover fanficā¦
Ep2 Liberation: while I prefer the classic model, this k9 mark III is kinda cute. The premise of the story isnāt bad, just standard, if you think about it, but it is very badly executed. The characters feel very superficial, especially the thing with the evil lady being Georgieās mum could have been done so much less worse. I kinda like the intro
I think youāll find itās K9 Mark IVā¦
Mark I stayed with Leela on Gallifrey
Mark II went through the gateway to E-Space with Romana (and eventually joined his brother on Gallifrey)
Mark III was left in the care of Sarah Jane (and no, thatās not a Mark IV at the end of School Reunion, thatās just Mark III after being repaired and spruced up).
No idea which Mark blows up and regenerates in K9 but it canāt be III because theyāre guading a black hole in Sarah Janeās attic.
Oh yeah, youāre right
Ep3 the Korven: these episodes feel like nothing is really happening. Which isnāt quite true, and there are plenty of tv shows that have a similar level of plot, but somehow make it feel more. The āinvisible forcefieldā was very silly, like you couldnāt have gotten some rope or something?
Okay, watched Black Hunger. K9 vs. the vacuum cleaner. K9 winsā¦
